OREGON WINE TOURING GUIDE 13 CLOCKWISE FROM TOP: JOSH CHANG / FOUNDRY 503; COURTESY OF HUMMINGBIRD ESTATE; COURTESY OF BLACK WALNUT INN & VINEYARD WINERIES WITH LODGING There’s no better way to immerse yourself in Oregon’s wine scene than by staying the night. Located in a charming hundred-year-old house in the heart of Southern Oregon’s Rogue Valley, Hummingbird Estate offers elegant rooms that come with free tastings. The Vineyard Cottage with a kitchen is perfect for extended stays. Also in the Rogue Valley, Weisinger Family Winery offers a lovely cottage with a kitchen and an outdoor hot tub, all right next to a Pinot noir vineyard. High in the Dundee Hills in the Northern Willamette Valley, Black Walnut Inn & Vineyard has elegant, serene rooms, many with sweeping valley views. For an alternative take on a night in Willamette Valley wine country, head to Willamette Valley Vineyards’ glamping experience near Salem — Into the Woods RV Park rents out fully equipped Airstream trailers and RV sites for a night among the vines. WINERIES WITH DINING Many Oregon wineries go all out with dining rooms and restaurants showcasing local bounty that pairs beautifully with wine. Perched on a hilltop just west of downtown Portland, Amaterra offers a gourmet dinner menu that features locally sourced ingredients, with a lovely terrace for alfresco summer dining. Its second location in Bend offers fine cuisine and a convivial atmosphere in the heart of downtown. Hood River’s Hiyu Wine Farm serves hearty multicourse lunches and dinners with European-style dishes and seasonal ingredients harvested just steps from the tasting room. In the Willamette Valley, you’ll find tasting menus with pairings, from Soter Vineyards’ seated seven-course lunch to exquisite nibbles at Antica Terra, where you might sample smoked white-fish rillettes and rabbit pâté. For a full restaurant menu, head to Willamette Valley Vineyards’ flagship property near Salem (one of four locations in the Portland and Bend areas). Ashland’s grand Belle Fiore Estate plates up gourmet meals like fresh pasta and filet mignon with a port demi-glace. Dine overlooking the vines on its expansive terrace in warmer seasons.
