A Guide to Eugene's Urban Tasting Rooms

Those planning a wine country crawl frequently visit McMinnville or Newberg, or spend a day among the urban wineries in central Portland. But people looking for something different— both in geography and wine types should consider Eugene.

No longer limited to a few tasting rooms, the winery scene in Eugene’s urban core has flourished over the past years. Between downtown, the trendy Whiteaker neighborhood (known to locals as “The Whit”) and the posh Oakway Mall, there are now nine establishments dedicated to wine tasting— not to mention several restaurants with spectacular wines and food. While most pour Pinot Noir, consumers will enjoy the tremendous variety.
