Oregon Wine Tasting Room, McMinnville

For almost two decades, Patrick McElligott has been managing Oregon's oldest wine-tasting room. This establishment guarantees that eight to 16 wines will be available for tasting. The tasting room stocks approximately 100 varieties of wine from more than 60 wineries in Oregon—many that are too far from Portland to visit, but brought to your tastebuds thanks to the room. Carabella, Seven Hills, Mystic Mountain, Benton Lake Winery and Abacela are just a handful of the wineries represented here.
