Wineries & Tasting Rooms

Great Pinot Noir

Oregon wine is renowned for its Pinot Noir. Year-round South Willamette Valley tasting rooms host intimate tasting experiences, where the winemakers are often the ones pouring. May is Oregon Wine Month, a full month of special tastings and unique events celebrating what makes Oregon wine so special. As spring arrives, it's a wonderful time to follow the South Willamette Wine Trail as the valley bursts into color. From Memorial Day to Thanksgiving, Oregon Wine Country is a vibrant, engaging scene. Partake in popular wine events including barrel tastings, live concerts, winemakers' tours, grape harvests and grape crushes.

South Willamette Wine Trail

 Enjoy a leisurely afternoon tasting wine along Territorial Highway which runs north to south through the region. Each winery offers a unique atmosphere and their own take on Oregon's most popular varietals. In Junction City, a dozen local wineries and vineyards are part of the Lower Long Tom AVA, known for its Bellpine soils and temperate climate.

With Oregon Pinot Noir in your glass and a panoramic view of the valley vineyards, there's no need to rush. Immerse yourself in the wine country experience and stay in a bed and breakfast, small hotel or vacation rental near the vineyards.
