An Oregon Wine Country adventure would not be complete without a stay at Chehalem Ridge Bed and Breakfast. Chehalem Ridge Bed and Breakfast offers a Winery Itinerary Service for a $40 fee per itinerary. They have set up six unique itineraries with some of their favorite, smaller wineries. After you choose an itinerary they’ll set up your day of tasting at 3 unique wineries of the Willamette Valley. You can easily add the Winery Itinerary Service when you make your reservation online.
They’ll set up 3 wineries in 1 day for countless fun. Guests can choose from 6 different themed itineraries. For our Big Reds & Pinot Noir Itinerary, we will have you tasting at boutique wineries offering big bold reds, plus our valley’s renowned Pinot Noir.
Available Preset Itineraries
- Artisan & Boutique Winery Itinerary – Our bountiful valley has 9 American Viticulture Areas (AVAs), which are small areas where vineyards are unified by geography and geology. This itinerary includes a mix of smaller, Pinot Noir-focused wineries from among these AVAs. You’ll have a great experience tasting fine, small production wines at the wineries and vineyards in this itinerary.
- Carlton Downtown Walking Itinerary – Drive 25 minutes to Carlton – a small farming town with most wineries per capita in the U.S. – and enjoy a bustling downtown where you can walk to all the tasting rooms and have lunch without driving between wineries. These wineries pour Pinot Noir and other grape varietals. (Grab lunch in town for this tour.)
- “More White Wines Please” (and Pinot Noir) Itinerary – White Wine lovers, here’s your chance to taste the Willamette Valley’s other grapes, although each of these wineries also produce Pinot Noir, so everybody can find their favorite wine. You might find some French-style Chardonnay, dry Riesling, Pinot Gris, a few sweeter wines and more unique white varietals.
- Big Reds & Pinot Noir Itinerary – Big red wine grapes like Cabernet and Merlot don’t really grow that well in the Willamette Valley, but we have Oregon winemakers making great big reds, usually from grapes grown in Eastern Washington or Southern Oregon. We’ll send you to wineries where you can compare and contrast those bolder wines with the Pinot Noirs we are known for here.
- “Behind the Wine” – Your experience at these wineries will be more personalized and often with winemakers, wine educators, or key staff involved in the day-to-day business of running an artisan winery. These men and women are passionate about their vineyards, wines and businesses and love to share their passion with our guests. Please note, the tasting fees for these winery experiences are a little higher than our other itineraries.
- Beans, Brews and Boutique Itinerary – Want more than wine? Experience a variety of great drinks produced by local artisans who happen to be our neighbors. Start with a handcrafted coffee flight at coffee roaster Caravan Coffee. Get your beer geek on with Head Brewer Bobby Stevens at Root & Rye Hop Farm and Brewery and order order off their main menu or on-site food truck for lunch. Finish up with your private wine tasting with a winemaker at a boutique winery. (Only available for select days)
