The Best Willamette Valley Wine Tastings and Wineries | Eater Portland

"While there are a number of barns-turned-tasting-rooms in the valley, few others can say they house tastings in a hayloft. The vaulted ceiling and soft yellow lighting give the 100-year-old loft a cozy hideaway feel, or for sunny days, grab a rocking chair on the farmhouse’s porch. Dominio IV has two estate vineyards — one in Yamhill-Carlton and one in the Columbia River Gorge in Mosier, Oregon — allowing guests to compare two different Oregon winegrowing regions without the extra travel. This winery, founded in 2002, makes a wide range of not only pinot noir, but bold tempranillo and plush syrah, as well as minerally viognier. The tasting room is open daily from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m." - Katherine Chew Hamilton
