Our visit to L'Angolo Estate was an absolute highlight of our Oregon wine trip. After visiting more than ten vineyards over four days, this was by far the most sophisticated and impressive wine experience we had. The modern tasting room is bright and airy, perfectly designed to showcase the breathtaking views of the Dundee Hills -- and we appreciated being seated facing the panoramic landscape.
Our host, Alvaro Garcia, made the experience exceptional. He was knowledgeable, warm, and shared fascinating details about the winemaking process. We paired our tasting with a lovely charcuterie tray that complemented the wines beautifully.
We also had the special opportunity to meet Chase Renton, the owner and winemaker. Hearing his story firsthand and seeing his passion for winemaking added such depth to the experience. The wines were extraordinary -- elegant, balanced, and expressive of place. My favorite was the 2021 "Il Terzo" Pinot Noir, with a label featuring Chase's father's handwriting -- a touching personal tribute that speaks to the family's love for the craft.
The estate itself is organically farmed, with 16 acres of Pinot Noir and 4 acres of Chardonnay rooted in the iconic Jory soil of the Dundee Hills. Everything here feels intentional -- from the vineyard to the tasting room to the people who make it all happen.
For anyone who loves Oregon Pinot Noir, this is the place. We left with several bottles and memories of a truly world-class experience. Highly recommend adding L'Angolo Estate to the top of your Willamette Valley list.
