Day Trip to These Newberg Oregon Wineries
Although there are numerous things to do while visiting downtown McMinnville and the surrounding areas near our Willamette Valley Bed and Breakfast, a quick road trip to the Newberg Oregon wineries is a delightful addition to any trip. Newberg has an adorable downtown main street that is charming and walkable, allowing you to explore the small town on foot while also indulging in some delectable Oregon wines.
Here are five Newberg Oregon wineries to check out:
- Anam Cara Cellars: Originally an overgrown filbert, walnut, and plum orchard, this Ribbon Ridge winery’s vineyard property now produces some of the finest Oregon wines. The downtown Newberg tasting room is an excellent place to enjoy a flight of wines and snacks, particularly if you can secure a spot on the outdoor patio. Reservations are recommended.
- Chehalem Winery: As one of the oldest Newberg Oregon wineries, you’ll want to opt for their single-vineyard pinots, and the classic tasting is perfect. The quaint downtown tasting room has beautiful woodwork and exposed brick for a lovely setting for wine tasting. They offer fun experiences like wine and popcorn paired with flavors from Miss Hannah’s Gourmet Popcorn, a local business in Newberg.
- Rex Hill: Discover this modern tasting room in Newberg with a pretty view, and indulge in a 90-minute seated experience, where you’ll get to sample their small-release pinot noirs and chardonnays. At this vineyard, all grapes are carefully hand-picked and sorted to ensure only the highest quality fruit is used in each batch. Don’t forget to try one of their snack boards, which feature an assortment of local cheeses, meats, and Willamette Valley products.
- Longplay Wine: Surround yourself with the modern, clean lines of this indoor tasting space for local flights. This is one of the Newberg Oregon wineries that require reservations, so plan and book in advance for tastes of local varietals from the Chehalem Mountains AVA.
- Et Fille Wines: This downtown tasting room is a family-owned winery located in Newberg. They offer a friendly atmosphere for their visitors. You can choose from various tasting options, including a unique experience called “The Cellar Sleuth.” Here, you will be tasked with matching the pinot noir in your glass to the vineyard and vintage.
