Hidden Vineyards Wine Tours
Oregon's Willamette Valley consistently produces some of the finest vintages in modern winemaking — our climate, soil profile, topography, coastal winds, and a patchwork of sub-appellations each with their own character, come together in each bottle. While we are distinguished in Pinot Noir, our Chardonnays and Rieslings have grown in notoriety considerably, and now new waves of sparkling producers, Cab Francs, Syrahs and many varietals are being introduced as we continue to mature as one of the world's most premier wine regions.
This blog is a resource for anyone looking to understand the region: the AVAs, the producers, the terroir, and what to expect when you visit. If you're planning a trip to wine country, we hope this helps you explore with a little more depth.
