"Stangeland is an old-school wine geek’s winery — off the beaten path, making really gorgeous Eola-Amity Hills cool-weather pinots. Stangeland started planting pinot in the late 1970s, which makes its vines some of the more mature ones in the Willamette Valley. Visit the cozy, bright living room-like tasting room surrounded by a ring of trees and mountains. Monday to Thursday is reservation only; reservations and walk-ins are welcome from noon to 5 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, noon to 4 p.m. on Sunday." - Katherine Chew Hamilton
