Oregon Wineries

Oregon is a land of majestic mountains, undulating hillsides, fertile river valleys and spectacular seashores.  The state straddles the temperate 45th Latitude-as does the Burgundy region of France-offering conditions ideal for the production of world class grapes.  Unique growing conditions and favorable clay-loam soils have fostered Oregon's rapid emergence as one of the world's fastest wine growing regions.  Since Oregon's wine renaissance in the 1960's, both the acreage of winegrapes and the renown of Oregon wines have grown meteorically.  The state now boasts more than 170 wineries and nearly 11,000 acres of varietal grapes, proncipally Pinot noir, Pinot gris, Chardonnay, Reisling, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Muller-Thurgau, Gewurztraminer and Pinot blanc. 

Oregon has several different wine appellations, each a distinct and different wine region.  The primary appellations are: Walla Walla, Columbia Valley, Williamette Valley and Unpqua Valley.  Each appellation and their wineries are waiting for you.  By clicking below on the desired appellation you will be able to view the wineries of that particular appellation.  Within each appellation you may click on the link to view the wineries website.
