plan your visit
Welcome to the Willamette Valley! Home to two-thirds of Oregon’s wineries and vineyards, our valley is known as one of the premier Pinot noir–producing areas in the world. It’s also an ideal wine tourist destination, with places to stay that include a luxury resort, several high-end inns and delightful B&Bs. Visitors will also find a robust and renowned culinary scene, offering a long list of places to eat.
While wineries are the centerpiece of a wine tourist’s itinerary, there are also other things to see and do like visiting an art gallery, biking, hiking or floating above wine country in a hot air balloon. Complete your visit with some specialty tasting and shopping at one of the unique shops in the valley. For transportation and guidance on your journey, our touring company partners are an excellent resource.
To help you plan your itinerary, we offer some suggested tasting routes through the region and further visitor resources. Finally, make sure you have a copy of our brochure, the Guide to Willamette Valley Wineries. We hope you enjoy your visit!

Thirst for knowledge?!😋
We are hosting a Red Blends Tasting Saturday June 22nd!
This is the perfect event to explore numerous wines and gain a better knowledge and understanding of the different varieties and tastes🍇
And of course, there will be cheese🧀
Only $30.00 a ticket - call or email us to secure your spot!
It's February, and that means... rosé is on the way, of course! If we can dial up a sunny winter day to go along with it (like this glorious one at furiosovineyard in December) that'd be great.
Their bubbles will definitely do the trick until the still version arrives 🍷🎉

Tuscany? No, I'm right here in the Willamette Valley, Chehalem Mountains AVA. Had a lovely time today at alloro_vineyard - great people, beautiful wines (the Riesling was our fave), stunning property and the most gorgeous drive over the mountain with fall color all around. They'll be opening their new tasting room soon and we can't wait to see it.

As we move into this two week ‘freeze’, we are reminded of how thankful we are to do what we love and to share that passion with all of you. The ongoing support of our community, friends, and family are what get us through difficult times like these. Thank you!

Both Durant Vineyards Clubhouse and Tasting Lodge will be closed for on-site tastings until December 2nd. BUT, we are open for pick-up, and delivering orders over $75, free of charge, to addresses within 50 miles of the farm! Shop our new website from the comfort of home and we will bring your order right to your door!
.
Our nursery, gift shop, lodging, and gardens will remain open with strict social distancing guidelines. We have more than doubled the size of the gift shop to accommodate social distancing (and a lot more products!). Luckily, much of the farm and nursery are outdoors with plenty of space to keep your distance!
.
We will get through this, we will flatten the curve, and we will come out the other side ready for new wine country adventures!

Has your wine club membership ever been rewarded with a custom etched 3 liter bottle of wine? Last year we drove down to Carlton Oregon for the Ken Wright Cellars Ten Year Anniversary Party. Surprisingly, our membership was rewarded with this bottle of wine. 💥 For real!!! That is the equivalent of 4 bottles of wine. When the hubby first saw this, though, he was a little worried that it had his name on it instead of mine! 😂
Even though this year is a little different without big celebrations, we're so happy for the great memories. Today on the VinoSocial blog, I write about our experience as members. Read more via Linkin.bio and leave a comment about your fave wine club!
