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.
