"The Carlton Winemakers Studio provides production facilities for wineries that don’t otherwise have a physical location, so think of it like a diverse sampler platter with nearly a dozen labels under the same roof. That means you’ll find squeaky-clean sparkling rosé practically begging to be guzzled poolside from one producer, and from another, plummy syrah with notes of iron-rich meat. If you’re strapped for time, a mixed flight out on the spiffy gravel patio is the smartest way to condense a Willamette Valley weekend into a sole afternoon that still feels robust." - Aimee Rizzo
