Oregon wineries are located in an arc (map
at right) rising from the southwestern Rogue Valley and Applegate
Valley regions, up through the western part of Oregon and
the Umpqua and Willamette
regions, then veers east and continues along the majestic Columbia
River.
Many of Oregon's wineries are in the Willamette Valley, with
the epicenter along 99W between the towns of McMinnville and
Tualatin. This cool climate region is known for its Pinot noir,
Pinot gris, Riesling, and Chardonnay.
The warmer climates of the Southern regions are becoming known
for their Cabernet, Merlot, and Syrah wines, along with the varietals
grown in the Willamette.
