Tours & Itineraries: Wine Tasting With Instagram-Worthy Views
As the weather warms and summertime nears, it’s the perfect time to emerge from hibernation to bask in the beauty of the Dundee Hills AVA. It’s impossible to find a view that’s anything short of picturesque in these rolling hills of vineyards, forests and small-town charm. Here are three sample itineraries featuring gorgeous views to get you started.
Bluebird Conservation
Native Western Bluebirds in Oregon are considered vulnerable and are a protected species. These helpful friends keep insect populations at bay, and are receiving a helpful boost via nesting boxes from some of our wineries. Maybe you’ll spot a few bluebirds perched among the vines while enjoying your tasting!

Wineries Offering Vineyard Tours
The best views in the Willamette Valley can be right underfoot when you step out into the vineyard for a tour with a winemaker or vineyard owner. You’ll get an up-close look at the vines stretching skyward, the cover crop in bloom, and the rolling hillside vineyards.
