Oregon Wine Tasting Tour

Oregon is home to some of the most beautiful vineyards in the world and is known for its distinctive Pinot Noirs. The heart of these vineyards is located in the Willamette Valley on gentle hills that give way to expansive views of the vines and valley below.

 

Dundee Wine Tour: The Dundee American Viticultural Area (AVA) is referred to as the epicenter of Oregon Pinot Noir. The unique relationship between volcanic Jory soils, elevation and protective microclimates has consistently proven ideal for vineyards, and the Dundee Hills have produced Oregon’s top Pinot Noirs for decades.
