About Us

Established in 1983, Yamhill Valley Vineyards is the oldest winery in the McMinnville AVA. We farm and produce 100% estate grown wines on our 150-acre estate, just minutes from downtown McMinnville.

The heart of our wine making is dedicated to Pinot Noir, Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, Rosé, and Riesling. We believe that the distinctive, rich character of our wines is created in the vineyard and reaches full potential through the thoughtful application of attentive wine making practices. While keenly aware of traditional methods, we are committed to exploring new technologies and innovative techniques.

Since our first vintage in 1983 our wines have consistently won top honors in tastings and judgings across the nation. From our beginning we have been stubbornly dedicated to the pursuit of a character that is distinctively Oregon and distinctively Yamhill Valley. Our goal is to bring forth from this unusual and exciting property the finest possible expression of its intensity, charm, and uniqueness.

Our amiable tasting room is located in the heart of our estate. Visit for a flight and stay for glass while taking in the vineyard views from our oak tree shaded deck. Cheers!
