17 Best Wine Bars near Carlton

“Had a great tasting experience here on a rainy afternoon! So cozy inside on the couches and our host Brit was so lovely to talk to. I loved hearing about the history of the place and seeing the soil in jars 🤓 and the wines were excellent. I loved and would totally buy almost all of the ones we tasted. Great spot for wine tasting year round and love the wines!“

“An amazing experience a great hospitality. Ryan always makes the experience for my wife and our guests enjoyable. I truly hate to tell you about this hidden gem but these guy's deserve the recognition. Hands down my favorite place to hangout and enjoy the sports on TV at the tasting room.“

“I was so lucky to stumble upon this tasting room in Carlton! I honestly can’t stop raving about it. Nicky provided fantastic service, and every wine I tried was delicious… the Rubis was an absolute standout. I’m thrilled to have joined their wine club and can't wait to go back!“

“While I’ve had the chance to enjoy a few of their single-vineyard wines before, it was especially insightful to take a step back and really explore the differences between the Eola-Amity Hills AVA and the Yamhill-Carlton AVA side by side.
At the restaurant I work at, we’ve been pouring their Willamette Valley Pinot for years, so it was great to broaden that perspective and taste through a wider range of vineyard sites. The experience added a lot of depth and context to wines I already appreciated, always a bonus when familiar producers can still surprise you.“

“Love the scenery, the vineyards, setting, the choice in wines, friendly knowledgeable staff, and they are so friendly to my pug dog, Pancake!! Always take a different bottle home!!“

“We absolutely love this restaurant!! Horse radish sauce is made in house and fresh! Staff is friendly and welcoming! Gluten Free options, bread is a great quality and doesn't fall apart when eating a sandwich! Local wines are on the menu too! Highly recommend this little gem!! Enjoy!!“

“My girlfriend and I had a wonderful time here. Robin (our wine tasting guide) did an excellent job of explaining all of the wines to us and was so much fun chatting with. She really knew the wines and how they were grown and did a wonderful job of explaining everything. We ended up leaving the tasting room with more wines to take home than we expected. A great experience and fun location!“

“We decided to stop in for a glass of wine before going to dinner. Such a great spot. We tasted several wines and bought a glass or two. Kara was the perfect host and we enjoyed our before dinner drinks. Highly recommend if you are downtown McMinnville.“

“Excellent experience tasting Big Bold Reds with Teresa. Always a pleasure to chat with her and Hedrian. If need a change from Pinot Noir, stop in and enjoy the amazing varitels. Also, Stark wines are available from Roxanne, the wine makers daughter. We always feel like family when we stop by. This is a wonderful tasting room to stop & enjoy the view & wines. Cheers“

“This is a very fun wine bar; it’s got a mix of dive bar with upscale wine bar and just a laid back atmosphere. It’s probably our favorite wine bar in downtown and a must stop for anyone visiting! Even if you’re stopping for a quick glass or looking to play some pool, you have to check it out.“

“Great place to do a side-by-side tasting of 4-6+ single varietal Pinot Noirs, plus some whites and bubbles (real Champagne style). The warm rosemary cashews were an excellent accompaniment that helped to bring out the variations in the wines.“

“The owners make you feel like family. It was a nice mix of different people. They will also make sure extremely drunk people don’t fall into you and gently guide them to another area. Very knowledgeable on wines and have a variety beyond the printed menu. Next time I’m in the area this a guaranteed spot to stop at.“

“We have been in this community since 92’ and have learned the immeasurable value of the people and businesses that care about this place we call home. Rich Washburn and Pinot Vista value leaving this community better than they found out it. It shows in everything they do. And they have great wines! 😎“

“the wine and the service are both fantastic.“

“Absolutely delicious food, atmosphere impeccably curated and service with great warmth and attention to detail.
Eating here is a wonderful and exciting experience that will leave you feeling fully satisfied. The wine list is especially enchanting, with a carefully selected 10,000 bottles to choose from on site.“

“I love Rob's exceptional wines! As the Beverage Director at Sawgrass Country Club in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida I literally have access to just about any wine there is in the world, not just the Willamette Valley. While I haven't had a R.Stuart wine I did not enjoy, the single vineyard Daffodil Hill Pinot Noir is a stand out for me every year. I highly recommend stopping by Rob's tasting room when visiting Mcminnville. You will not be disappointed!“
