Yamhill-Carlton Pinot noir is redolent of blackberries, raspberries, cloves, tobacco, and coffee – all incredibly food friendly flavors.

Yamhill-Carlton wines first captivate you with aroma. Their texture is like no other wine – silky, generous, and a persistence that lasts.

3 tips for planning a day of touring wineries:

🍇 Choose between 3-5 wineries to visit in one day, and plan to stay awhile in order to get the most out each experience.
🍇 Summer and Fall are peak season for visiting wineries because it's oh-so beautiful! So best to avoid an unexpected rush by planning ahead.
🍇 Pack a carrier or box for all the wine you'll need to safely transfer home!
