Domaine Willamette
Avidity Wines
Colene Clemens Vineyards
At Avidity Wines, enjoy a fun, laid back, and rockin’ vibe. Join us for tasting flights, glass pours, or bottle purchases. Take a seat inside the tasting room or anywhere outside on the patio or lawn (you can even bring your own lawn chairs!).
Colene Clemens is a 122-acre, dry-farmed estate established in 2005 where the Chehalem Mountains converge with Ribbon Ridge. Perched on a rocky, south-facing hillside with volcanic and marine soils, the 62-acre vineyard spans elevations of 350 to 650 feet. They prioritize sustainable and organic practices, low yields, and hand-harvesting five distinct clones to craft exceptional fruit.
Aspects of biodynamic farming is represented in the winery’s rooms, gardens and artwork. Crafted using a méthode traditionnelle, the wines are made with consideration for the environment, employees and community. They simply taste better.
Soil and season, not prestige
Every winery on this list earns its place because of a specific vintage or a view or a conversation we keep thinking about — not because of a score or a tasting room size.
When you're ready to plan the table that follows the tasting, we've put the same care into our restaurant list.
