21 Best Wineries in Carlton

“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!!“

“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.“

“We visited Ghost Hill on a winery tour for my bachelorette party. Cam and his team were so friendly and the wine was delicious - the sparkling Chardonnay was fab, and I don't typically like Chardonnay! We spent a few hours at Ghost Hill, the venue itself was stunning and we were able to spread out and chat, take photos, wander a bit all while getting served wine every few minutes. Highly recommend, we can't wait to come back!“

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

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

“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!“

“Their Inverse is the best Rose I’ve ever had, and their property is a delight to explore. On top of this, their hospitality is incredible and they even recognized me on only my second visit many months later. This place is a gem in wine country.“

“Warm and highly engaged hosts. Jodie is a terrific tasting room manager. I had a great time walking around the vineyards with Rob, and they accommodated me with a tour of the winery and the cellars. Easily one of my favorite wineries to visit while in Oregon, especially for their organically farmed and beautifully nuanced expressions of Pinot Noir and other varietals.“

“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!!!“

“Our group came down from Northern Washington to the McMinnville Wine and Food Classic at the Evergreen Flight Museum. We decide to take a trip into Carlton and stopped by K&M Winery to have a glass of wine. The atmosphere is very inviting almost like your family and the wine is so good. The staff and the owners are delightful! Please stop by K&M Winery if you are in Carlton, Oregon and say hi to this amazing group of people.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Big open fields, spiralling hedges omfull of flowers, and a four legged cutie boy named Jax. These are the things that matter in committing to a bright and wonderful experience wine tasting. This place has all three. Also, give a sixth star to the wine, is good. Cheers!“

“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.“

“Incredible experience. Had the place to ourselves on a Thursday afternoon. Ray the manager of Craft guided us through the tasting and even gave us some extra wines to try as well. He was charming and gregarious and made the whole experience even more enjoyable. If your in North Willamette you need to go to Craft, a definite must stop in Carlton“

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

“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.“

“What better way to kick off a wine trip, and a Sunday Funday, than with a visit to Soter. The tour and tasting struck a perfect balance: educational yet approachable, with a relaxed, welcoming feel throughout the property.
The conversation flowed just as nicely as the wine, making it easy to settle in and really enjoy the experience. A great introduction to their style and philosophy.

Looking forward to enjoying more “Soter Pop” in the future. Cheers to a fantastic start to the trip!“

“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!“
