Blakeslee Vineyard Estate

Blakeslee is a short-drive, big-payoff kind of stop—especially if you’re coming from Portland or building a Sherwood/Laurelwood day. The wines carry that Laurelwood signature: lifted aromatics, fine tannin, and a clean, mineral thread that feels distinctly place-based. Then there’s the setting—an airy, view-first tasting room and outdoor spaces that make you want to linger. It’s boutique but thoughtfully built for hosting, and the LIVE certification + dry-farming adds real backbone to the story. Reserve ahead, arrive on time, and give yourself space to soak it in.
