With wine country in its backyard, Portland overflows with wine bars and urban wineries, offering special varietals from around the world.
From urban wineries tucked into neighborhoods throughout the city to gorgeous, sprawling vineyards in Oregon’s Willamette Valley, Portland’s wine scene never runs dry. Though best known for its pinot noir, Oregon’s wine country produces a seemingly endless array of delicious wine varieties — all of which are worth sampling.
Urban Wineries
While a jaunt through beautiful Willamette Valley wine country – just 30 minutes outside of Portland – is always recommended, an influx of urban wineries is letting Portlanders visit tasting rooms and meet winemakers without ever leaving city limits. The city’s oldest winery, Hip Chicks do Wine, opened in 1999, and more than a dozen wineries have since followed suit.
Many of these city vintners have banded together under the moniker PDX Urban Wineries, including 12 local favorites like Division Winemaking Company and Seven Bridges Winery. Together, they host the annual PDX Urban Wine Experience, a tasting event for sampling new and limited-production wines crafted right here in Portland. The group also plans quarterly “Wine Weekends,” during which member wineries offer discounted tastings and specially crafted pours.
Avoid the hassle of finding a designated driver and arrange a guided tour. Many tour operators will let you choose your own wine adventure. You can sip your way through Portland’s wine scene worry-free, from Teutonic Wine Company to Boedecker Cellars.

Oregon Wines
The Oregon pinot noir is highly sought after. But while this flavorful, light-bodied red leads the pack, the region has other great varietals to offer as well. Try a cabernet sauvignon for a bigger, more robust red. Great white wines made in Oregon include pinot gris, chardonnay and riesling.

Less than an hour from Portland, the gorgeous Willamette Valley boasts more than 250 wineries.
