The best wineries in Oregon lie just under an hour’s drive from Portland in the Willamette Valley, a thriving wine region known for its outstanding Pinot Noir. The Willamette Valley is one of the world’s leading Pinot producers, and with over 550 wineries and 22,000 vineyard acres planted, it is the largest and most important wine region in Oregon. Early Willamette Valley winemakers first planted Pinot Noir in the 1960’s. These wine pioneers believed Pinot Noir would flourish in Oregon because of the diverse soil types, cool temperate climate, and long summer sun. Today Willamette Valley wineries are recognized as one of the premier wine producers in the world, especially the award-winning Pinot Noir. They consistently earn top honors for other cool-climate varietals, including Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, and Pinot Blanc.
