Chris James Cellars (Estate)

Chris James Cellars is the kind of estate stop that keeps your wine-country day feeling human. It’s boutique, production is limited, and the experience is less about spectacle and more about tasting through wines that are made with intention. If you’re building a Carlton/Yamhill-Carlton loop, it’s a nice counterpoint to the larger rooms—slower, quieter, and focused on what’s in the glass. Check the site before you go so you’re aligned with the current hours and tasting setup, then settle in for a straightforward, personal visit.
