Fall is a time of celebration and excitement in the Willamette Valley! As the grape harvest nears, the winemakers and crews of the award-winning McMinnville wineries prepare to pick the ripe fruit and begin the in-depth process of blending and bottling the newest vintage. For many, this is the most anticipated time of year—a new beginning and the start of the long process from vine to bottle to glass.
The exact time of harvest varies each fall, but it usually begins in September and continues through November; it’s all a delicate balance of how the weather was throughout the year, measuring rainfall and sunshine. When harvest begins, the valley comes to life with bustling activity, from picking and crush events to special wine dinners and tastings. There’s plenty to discover during the fall in Willamette Valley, and the wineries in the McMinnville AVA are the place to do it!
Youngberg Hill Winery and Inn is one of the best McMinnville wineries to add to your itinerary in Oregon Wine Country. We host events year-round, including live music, special parties, and exclusive tours. One of our most popular annual events is the Harvest Vineyard Tour with our winemaker. This tour always includes an up-close look at the inner workings of our winery, along with fantastic tastings. For those joining us this fall, why not make a full getaway of it and stay at our luxurious McMinnville bed and breakfast? Check our availability and book your room today!
