Dundee Hills Wine Trail — Oregon's Premier Pinot Noir Country

The Dundee Hills AVA is the most prestigious sub-appellation in Oregon's Willamette Valley — rolling volcanic Jory soil hills southwest of Portland where Domaine Drouhin Oregon, Argyle Winery, Ponzi Vineyards, Sokol Blosser, and Archery Summit produce Pinot Noir that is measured against the finest Burgundy. The Jory volcanic red clay is uniquely well-drained and produces Pinot Noir of extraordinary structure and longevity. McMinnville, 15 minutes away, hosts the world's premier Pinot Noir celebration each July. Sip & Summit builds your curated 4-stop Dundee Hills wine route in under 10 seconds.
