22 Best Wineries in Carlton

“So far, each vineyard experience has been different. Here, we’re at Dominio IV Wines—upstairs in a tasting room all to ourselves—listening to Miles Davis and then Elton (Yellow Brick Road) on a turntable. A wonderful venue: intimate in a home setting, more expansive in the barn.“

“What an amazing recommendation from NW Wine Shuttle and Kim. We squeezed them in and it ended up being my favorite part of the day! Spending time with Russell and the heart and story of Flaneur gave me a little bit of Paris married with delicious wine of the Willamette Valley. I cannot wait to return for food pairing and getting the most our of my new membership and reason to head to quaint Carlton from Portland as much as I can and recommending others as well as clients. What a great stop, don't miss it.“

“Beautiful setting, spectacular wines & approachable prices. Loved meeting Pinot the Black Lab, who is the inspiration for the brand & will be sure to visit again.“

“Ghost Hill Cellars is one of the best places to visit in wine country. Not only do they have stunning views both inside the venue and out (and amazing sunsets), but their wine is delicious and all of their staff & the owner (Cam) are INCREDIBLE! They are personable and make you feel like family from the moment you get on their property.

I recently held a rehearsal dinner there and they were the easiest people to work with - we got the whole venue for 3 hours, they were flexible, their communication was quick and they always answered our questions + more, and the event went seamless. I couldn't have been luckier to score this venue to host my rehearsal dinner and everyone couldn't stop talking about how amazing it was!

11/10 recommend on having an event hosted here and/or visiting for wine tasting! We are obsessed and will definitely be back. :)“

“We came on a warm Friday in July and sat we felt very comfortable eating our picnic outside under umbrellas. Josie was professionally friendly, serving excellent selection of wines for our tastings. One of our party was a wine buyer and loved chatting with her. We can tell Josie loves what she does! Thank you, Lemelson for a wonderful time!“

“Great place to visit, relax, and sip some great wines.“

“Nice people great wine!! I highly recommend going there.“

“Delicious wines; cozy, welcoming atmosphere. Jasmina will take good care of you!“

“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!“

“I went to Carlo & Julian Winery today with a friend. I haven't been there since 2019. I liked this winery then and I love it now! 10 wonderful wines to taste and he just happened to have made a pulled pork and homemade chimichurri which was AMAZING both food and wine. If I had the money I would have come home with a variety case. Pricing of wines are extremely reasonable and the quality of the wines are amazing! I'm not a Pinot Noir person as a rule, but he had 3 that I could drink very happily. He also had the best, bar none, a GSM!!!! That did go home with me.😁 The 2021 Merlot-Malbec was so delicious that it also came home with me. The Syrah and Melbec oh my! Seriously if you haven't been or it's been a while you need to go! I plan I going again and bringing more friends to try his amazing wines! See you soon Carlo & Julian Winery!!!“

“We had an amazing time during our visit! While we didn't sample every wine, the Cabernet Franc truly stood out for us. The winery itself is intriguing—it may appear to be a simple storefront in the city, but it boasts stunning views of the valley and mountains. We also enjoyed the bocce ball courts, and the staff provided a warm and friendly atmosphere. Plus, the prices were very reasonable!“

“Cellar Door Wine Tours took us to Tendril Wine Cellars first on our 3-winery tour and warned us we'd like it best. We truly did. Each wine was delicious. I'm an Oregon pinot noir fan and they make great ones, but also loved their white pinot noir and rose. Tasting manager Andrew was delightful and kept us both informed and laughing! The tasting room is very small, but they also have outside picnic tables for warmer months. Make an appointment and enjoy! I signed up for the wine club as I enjoyed every sip.“

“Great wines, relaxed atmosphere, nice little farm there as well. Winemaker is very knowledgeable about all the grapes.“

“Such a cool experience. Our awesome tour guide (Grape Escape- Ralph Stinton) who we highly recommend set us up with David and a few other great earthy French style Pinot Noir producers which we prefer. My wife and I sat on David’s back porch with Walker and had EXCELLENT Pinot Noirs. It felt like sitting with a friend just enjoying great wine before David took off for the coast with Walker. He had really interesting stories of his experiences and we felt like we really got to know him.

David was kind enough to delay his trip to the coast for us and we are very thankful he did. We are new members of his wine club and look forward to receiving our first case in the fall. Highly recommend visiting particularly if you like earthy French burgundy style wine.“

“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.“

“Had an amazing evening at K&M! One of the best customer service experiences of my life. Our group visited several wineries during our trip and agreed that K&M had the most delicious wines and hospitable employees. Thank you so much Jenni and Philipe for the unforgettable tasting!!!“

“What an amazing experience!!! From the pairings (I love the fig spread) to the wine but most of all the service! Kailee was amzing❗️❗️❗️I stumbled upon this winery retiring from a hike… location matters. If you haven’t already, put it on your list. You won’t be disappointed 😊“

“Cozy and personal wine tasting with a delicious selection of Rose, Pinot Noir, and Chardonnay. A host who was informative, both in the history of the area and of the libations we drank. Check it out if you're in town and looking for a classy way to expand on your wine tasting experience.“

“Good variety of wines with a wine maker that has great passion for his work.“

“Ken Wright in Carlton, Oregon is a beautiful place for a delicious Pinot tasting. The tasting room is fabulous and the outside patio even better. Great wines, great staff ( I wish I had written down the gal’s name that hosted us) as she was knowledgeable, understood our palate and offered additional wines she thought we would like plus she was so fun. She also showed us the 1/2 Bottles we purchased for our at home wine tasting that evening. And of course we purchased other bottles. I recommend booking or stopping in Ken Wright Cellers.“

“Took myself for a solo experience at Soter. From the time I arrived, it was a very welcoming experience. The property itself is so lovely and scenic. The history behind the vineyard is so interesting. The food & wine pairing was incredible! Each dish and wine were so intricate and made the experience well worthwhile. I can’t recommend this enough. I hope to be back in the future. Thank you Soter for a great solo experience!“

“This place has sentimental value for me, but even without that I give it 5/5. The wines were incredible, the view was absolutely amazing, and Mary Lou, who guided our tasting, was so knowledgeable and easy to talk to. We booked a tasting ahead of time, which is recommended. We went midweek, so we were actually the only people there for almost the entire tasting. A group came in as we were tasting our final wine and deciding on what to purchase. Reservations are recommended, but if they have room they’ll take you as a walk in! My parents were married here 31 years ago, so to be able to visit with my husband and experience it was incredible. I highly recommend visiting, buying some wine, and enjoying your time at Anne Amie! They will ship wine to you (depending upon the state you live in) and you can also ship it yourself from the Newberg Mail Room! You can buy their wines online, too. Amazing experience!“
