The Best Wines & Vineyards

  • Archery Summit (tel. 503/864-4300): Big wines with a big reputation are produced from estate-grown pinot noir grapes at this impressive facility in the Dundee Hills. Pinot noir is the only wine they produce here.

  • A to Z (tel. 503/538-4881): This winery, which, due to its purchase of Rex Hill Vineyards, is currently the largest winery in Oregon, doesn't produce the best wines in the state, but it does offer the best values.

  • Dobbes Family Estate (tel. 800/566-8143): Joe Dobbes perfected his winemaking skills at the large Willamette Valley Vineyards before setting out on his own. Now he makes both high-end and affordable wines under two separate labels.

  • Domaine Drouhin Oregon (tel. 503/864-2700): When a French winery starts making pinot noir in Oregon, you know it must be a good climate for wine. Certain vintages of Domaine Drouhin's Laurene pinot noir have been among the best pinots I've ever tasted.

  • Domaine Serene (tel. 866/864-6555): Producing pinot noir, chardonnay, and syrah, this winery high in the Red Hills above Dundee is reliably consistent.

  • Panther Creek Cellars (tel. 503/274-8080): This winery produces a wide variety of vineyard-designate pinot noirs, so in any given vintage, there are a lot of options here for pinot fans.

  • Penner-Ash Wine Cellars (tel. 503/554-5545): Winemaker Lynn Penner-Ash crafts pinot noirs and syrahs of lingering lushness. She also has one of the most beautifully situated wineries in the region.
