2025 Yamhill-Carlton Spring Tasting
Saturday, May 3, 2025
Abbey Road Farm, Carlton
Join us for our 20th Anniversary Spring Tasting! This annual event showcases over 35 Yamhill-Carlton wineries alongside bites prepared by the incredible chefs at Abbey Road Farm.
Enjoy wines from participating wineries such as Gran Moraine, Belle Pente Vineyard and Winery, Elk Cove Vineyards, Ken Wright Cellars, and Willakenzie Estate. Yamhill-Carlton is known for producing world-class Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, and wineries will be pouring other varieties as well, including Riesling, Pinot Gris, and many styles of sparkling wines, showcasing the wealth of variety in the region. If you taste something you love, you can purchase wine directly from the producer at this event, including wines that are hard to come by otherwise. Plus, NW Wine Shuttle is available with concierge services for the weekend.
Our VIP hour this year includes library pours from 2005 and 2015, to celebrate the two decades we have been an AVA. Enjoy VIP-only pours and appetizers including Abbey Road’s famous truffle smash burgers, chicken and waffles, and mussels escabeche.
Regular admission includes all the wineries, and delicious bites including a charcuterie platter, pea & ricotta dumplings, mini BLTs, shrimp cocktails and delicious carrot falafel. So many of the dishes include produce grown right here on Abbey Road Farm. Don’t miss your chance to celebrate 20 years with us!
