Wine Bars
Welcome to the Willamette Valley, a world-renowned wine region best known for Pinot Noir. With more than 700 wineries across the valley, there’s a wide range of options, whether you’re looking for something easy and close by or want to spend a day visiting vineyards (highly recommend)
For winery and vineyard visits, you can find our wine tasting recommendations here. If you’d rather keep things simple and walkable, there are several wine bars and tasting rooms right in downtown McMinnville listed below. If you’re hoping to visit wineries and vineyards throughout the valley, you’ll likely want a car. Some guests also choose to hire a tour driver or use Uber or Lyft to get around.
