Downtown McMinnville Wineries

McMinnville bills itself as “the land of plenty,” and they aren’t misleading… the food, wine, and craft beer scene is flourishing here, and downtown Third Street is a joy to stroll and explore all the unique shops and craft beverages. On this page we highlight our favorite wineries to visit while in downtown McMinnville

McMinnville is about an hour drive southwest of Portland. Get Directions.

We recommend staying in a nearby vacation rental via AirBNB or VRBO.

Brittan tasting room in McMinnville

Brittan Vineyards

829 NE 5th St #700, McMinnville, OR 97128
Wines: Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Syrah

It took years to find the ideal site on which to grow Pinot Noir but after an exhaustive search, Brittan Vineyards began on a 128-acre hillside near McMinnville in December 2004. The soils are a mixture of glacial deposits and volcanic material, with a predominant presence of broken basalt. “For years, I have dreamed of making Pinot Noir in Oregon… From this site I believe I can produce unique wines, wines that speak of this place,” says Robert Brittan, Founder and Winemaker.

Why We Love Brittan: According to David Schildknecht of the Wine Advocate, “A personal encounter with these singular wines should be high on the to-do list of any wine lover— not just Pinotphile– who hasn’t yet had the experience.”

Why We Love Dundee Wine Library: The wines are exceptional! Winemaker Thibaud Mandet is esteemed in the Oregon wine industry and does an excellent job for the wines of Dundee Wine Library.
