The first grape vines in Oregon were planted in the Dundee Hills. Now, you’ll find more than 2,200 acres of vines and 32 wineries in Dundee, Oregon, for tastings and tours. The Dundee Hills AVA was established in 2005, and it’s an area known for the delicate and lush pinot noir (nearly 70% of the vines are pinot clones), but they’re also growing some fantastic chardonnay and pinot gris.
The Dundee Hills AVA was put on the map in 1979 when David Lett’s 1975 pinot noir placed in the top three at a blind tasting of Burgundies that French winemakers sponsored. The Chehalem Mountains, located in the northern part of the AVA, provide shelter from the cold winds that travel through the valley from the Columbia River Gorge. Furthermore, the reddish soil, rich in iron, found in the wineries and vineyards in Dundee, Oregon, creates the perfect terroir for viticulture.
