12 Best Wineries in Dayton

“I have to say I love how Willamette Valley handles snow days. Thank you to the incredible staff at Domaine Willamette, who came together and served us perfectly with a smile. You know how to treat your owners and industry guests. Our flights, cuisine, and cozy ambiance were just exquisite.“

“A lovely family winery with incredible wines! I have been a club member now for many years and have enjoyed the consistent excellence of their wines as well as the lovely and peaceful setting with views of the coastal range while the sun goes down....“

“We were lucky to have a wonderful back of house office/marketing person who wanted to enjoy the beautiful weather help us. The food was delicious, beets with strawberries and goat
Cheese and pink peppercorns and wonderful spring pea hummus and a great olive oil tasting. Wine selection was good and they also have a nature trail good to walk pups and me, after all the food.
My husband discovered an additional bakery cafe in the back and left with some wonderful shortbread type cookies, one lemon with lavender, I think, and one dipped in chocolate, and some sea salt caramel brownies. All delicious and also very pretty cozy place!“

“Such a great afternoon at the tasting room. Daniel and Emma walked us through the white and red tastings of some very wonderful wines. Elena helped us decide on some excellent selections to take back to Florida with us. Wines fly free on most airlines. Yeah!“

“A very elegant tasting hosted inside their cellars dug into the hillside. Service was very friendly, polished and personalized. Each wine was served in individual high quality glassware which enabled side by side comparisons. Quite cool inside but they have blankets for those who need them. Overall a very classy experience.“

“Went to the recent event at the winery, it was great! Good wine, and the staff was marvelous as always. The food was good, enjoyed it. But it was-is not appropriate for wine tasting. I do not understand the current trend of wineries inviting mexican food carts to wine tasting events. The food style tends to mess up ones palete. Beer or soda go great with Mexican food. Or possibly a huge red, but not the refined Pinot Noir and whites of the Willamette Valley.“

“Have been enjoying the delicious unique wines from White Rose since 2015, they are superbly made and just tried their first Chardonnay “wow” just love this collection and Katie made our tasting so wonderful yesterday 😇👍☘️“

“Our experience at Domaine Serene was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, everything felt luxurious, welcoming, and perfectly curated. The property itself is absolutely breathtaking, but what truly elevated the experience was the incredible hospitality and attention to detail throughout the tasting.

A huge part of what made our visit so memorable was Zachary. He was phenomenal — warm, personable, incredibly knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about the wines and the Domaine Serene story. He made the entire tasting feel intimate and engaging, taking the time to walk us through each wine with such depth and enthusiasm. His knowledge of the vineyard, the winemaking process, and the unique characteristics of every pour made us appreciate the experience on a completely different level.

The wines were absolutely world-class — elegant, refined, and unforgettable — and every tasting felt thoughtfully presented. What we loved most was that despite how elevated and prestigious the experience felt, it also remained relaxed, personal, and authentic. Zachary created an atmosphere where we could truly slow down, enjoy the moment, and fully immerse ourselves in everything Domaine Serene has to offer.

This was far more than just a wine tasting — it was a complete experience, and one we’ll be talking about for a long time. Major credit to Zachary for making it so special. Domaine Serene is truly something extraordinary.“

“This place is a treasure! It’s a true American story. Excellent wine. Independent, family-owned, built from the ground up by the fruits of the family’s labor, without the benefits (or restrictions) of wealthy backing. We were treated to a tasting of amazing Pinot Noirs, a white Pinot Noir/Pinot Gris blend, a Riesling, and an outstanding Tempranillo/Pinot blend under the shade of a beautifully appointed canvas tent amid the rows of vines, cooled by refreshing breeze on a warm day as the sounds of relaxing and diverse Latino music played in the background. The authenticity of the place cannot be understated. Elena‘s connection to the land and to the entire process made for an intimate experience. The tribute to her family’s Mexican roots made for a singular experience among wineries not just in the Willamette Valley, but anywhere. Our tasting felt like a true privilege. We leave here proud members, and look forward to coming back again and again.“

“Very laid back with old school pricing. Love their whites and Rose. They’re sold out of Sauvignon Blanc. Great deal and atmosphere although just off the highway.“

“Beautiful well known and highly regarded winery (Willamette and Burgundy)

Spectacular views across the valley. In and outdoor seating.

Reserve ahead and arrive promptly as they are very busy and strict about visits.“

“Must start with full disclosure--my wife, Sunshine and I have never been there--BUT, having just completed an AMA waterways wine cruise in France we met wonderful people from Stoller, including Gary Mortensen who presented wine tasting of their excellent wines and enthusiastic, humorous lectures. We sampled many great French wines on this cruise, but none topped the Stoller chardonnays we tasted. The Stoller Family Estate is definitely on our "bucket list". We also met Bill Stoller's lovely sister, Nancy. We tasted a wine Bill named after her and it was to die for! Thanks Stoller for sending your lively group on our cruise. I'm sure when we finally visit, you'll earn this five star rating! Say hi to Gary and Nancy for us.“
