Some great wineries in the heart of Willamette Valley known for their Pinot Noir. Here are few that I loved and would recommend.
A Classic! Ken Wright never disappoints - We enjoyed a fantastic glass of wine on the gorgous patio with a mini flower garden!
Ken Wright Cellars
Soter has not only has incredible wine but the people working there are honestly the kindest, and so knowledgeable. I learned so much about their brand. Highly Recommend making this stop on your tasting tours. Cheers!
Soter Vineyards
Pinot Lovers – This is a MUST stop! We did a sunset wine tasting tour and the property was so beautiful! We had the best time and even had a pizza delivered for dinner after our tasting :)
Ghost Hill Cellars
An architectural dream! This winery is SO modern. The tasting fee is higher than others, but it is worth it to see the property.
Abbott Claim
This winery was recommended over and over again. They are open seven days a week, with the last seating for tasting around 4pm. The property is stunning!
Flâneur Wines
Big Table Farm has the cutest century old farmhouse. I am normally a red wine enthusiast but their Chardonnay is great!

Places To Stay
Carlton's small town is mostly beautifully restored inns, homes, and cute B&Bs. Some accommodations are a short walk from town.
We stayed at this Airbnb. It was so cute and walking distance to restaurants. We had enough space and plenty of parking. I would totally stay here again.
The Carlton Pinot House
Someone else cooking breakfast? Sign me up.. This bed and breakfast has so much character. I would say it's better for 2 people rather than staying with a bigger group.
The Carlton Inn Bed & Breakfast
This farmhouse is so cute and also within walking distance to restaurants. Perfect for a friend weekend- Sleeps 6 people!
Carlton Farmhouse - Oregon
Another cute Airbnb option – Stay in and cozy up by the fireplace with a glass of local wine and watch Netflix.

Dining in Carlton: Here are a few culinary gems in wine country with a little something for everyone.
Perfect way to start the busy tasting tour schedule. I had a tasty breakfast sandwich (my favorite) and a latte - both great!
Carlton Bakery
Park & Main is the pizza we had delivered to the tasting appointment. They are wood fired and offer gluten free and vegan options!
Park & Main
Blind Pig has a seasonal menu with enough choices for everyone. They also have gluten free and vegan options. I feel like it's more of a causal vibe, but they get very busy so reservations are a good idea for dinner.
Blind Pig
Ikigai is a Japanese term meaning “that which gives your life meaning or purpose”. How cool is that? The name already sets the tone for how awesome the food is going to be. They have a great take out menu!

Carlton's fine dining restaurant - Steaks and plenty of seafood and even a housemade pasta!
