"This Amity-based winery is known for playful yet sophisticated wines and complex tasting menus that push beyond the typical winery experience; its chef won the Best Chef: Northwest and Pacific award in 2025 and used the acceptance speech to pay tribute to the late Naomi Pomeroy and to make a pointed political remark (“fuck ICE”)." - Harry Cheadle
"Welcome to a trippy dream sequence masquerading as a winery. Complete with a vortex-to-nowhere entrance, melty wax candles illuminating private cellar rooms, soul-penetrating spa music, and valet parking, Antica Terra is so thoughtfully hospitable that it’s almost concerning. We said almost. Each tasting starts with serious Champagne, and then features both Antica Terra’s home-grown wines as well as similar varietals made abroad. Luxe food pairings are part of the shtick, and run the gamut from goat prosciutto to crudité that could have been cultivated by Demeter herself. Want a unique Willamette adventure that’ll stick with you like a swallowed wad of gum? Fork over the $175." - aimee rizzo

"With a sleek, enchanting new tasting room in Amity, Antica Terra is a must-stop on your next visit to the Willamette Valley. Visitors can taste through offerings from both Antica Terra and its California sister winery Lillian; unlike most tasting rooms, you’ll also find bottles intended to spark conversation and curiosity from Champagne, Sardinia, and beyond, all selected by winemaker Maggie Harrison. Stay for the candlelit, multi-course lunch from chef Timothy Wastell, which might include smoked sablefish rillettes, rabbit liver paté, and decadent, ribbon-like wisps of cheese served via girolle, a classic cheese curler." - Oset Babür-Winter
"Those looking to treat themselves with a fancy bottle of wine can do so while also helping the restaurant industry. Willamette Valley winery Antica Terra is donating 25 percent of certain bottle sales to the James Beard Foundation Food and Beverage Industry Relief Fund to help relieve, restore and support independent restaurants and the people they employ." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
