In case you haven’t heard, our region is pretty famous for its incredible wines – most notably Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Gris. The wines of the Willamette Valley are often compared to the highly regarded wines from Burgundy, France. We’re at a similar latitude to Burgundy which means a fairly similar climate. Additionally, winemakers in Oregon use a lot of same techniques as French winemakers to create a similar style wines. Not to get too wine-geeky on you – the bottom line is that the wines from around here are delicious!
You can visit Oregon wine country easily by car. It’s about an hour outside the city to the vineyards surrounding Dundee, Newberg, McMinnville, etc, and most wineries have tasting rooms to sample their goods. For anyone without a car or who doesn’t want to spend an entire day outside of Portland, there are plenty of options to taste Willamette Valley wines right in the city. Portland boasts tasting rooms and wine bars that will satisfy your craving for a day of wine tasting.
