How It Works

Built around
what you drink

A bottle you already love is the best brief you can give us.

01
Scan a bottle you love.
Photograph the label, or pick one you've been drinking. We read what's in the glass — the acidity, the weight, the oak, the earth — and build a picture of what you actually like.
02
We find the places behind it.
Not the wineries with the biggest tasting rooms. The producers working in that style, and the restaurants, wine shops and places to stay that sit around them.
03
You get a real trip.
Paced the way you travel, for the days you have, with a line on every choice explaining why it was chosen for you.

“You seem to gravitate toward elegant, restrained Pinot Noir with bright acidity and earthy complexity.”

Photographed where we stood

Every region here is one I have travelled and tasted through myself. The guides follow in that order, and the Willamette Valley is the one that is written.

What you actually get

Three days in the Willamette Valley, already planned

A real itinerary from the demo, built from one bottle of Domaine Drouhin Oregon Pinot Noir. Nothing was entered but the bottle, three days and two people.

3 days2 peopleBalanced paceWillamette Valley
Day One
Dundee Hills
10:00
Winery
The Eyrie Vineyards
Oregon Pinot's founding estate. The David Lett legacy in understated, mineral-driven pours.
Why this one for you: your bottle is restrained and earthy rather than ripe. Eyrie is where that style in Oregon began.
12:00
Winery
Domaine Drouhin Oregon
Burgundian-trained elegance in the Dundee Hills. Véronique Drouhin's restrained Laurène Pinot is the one to ask for.
14:30
Wine shop
Cellar 503
A small-production Oregon specialist — how you find bottles that never reach a tasting-room shelf.
18:30
Table
The Painted Lady
Newberg's Victorian dining room. Seasonal Oregon cooking against a deep Willamette list. Book ahead.
Overnight
Stay
The Inn at Red Hills
Boutique rooms in Dundee, minutes from the hills, with a well-kept cellar downstairs.
Day Two
Eola-Amity Hills
10:00
Winery
Evening Land Vineyards
Biodynamically farmed hillside blocks at Seven Springs — cooler, tauter and more savoury than the Dundee Hills.
Why this day for you: the same grape, grown higher and colder. The contrast with yesterday is the whole point of the trip.
14:00
Winery
Bethel Heights Vineyard
Family-owned since 1977. Benchmark Eola-Amity Pinot with red-fruit brightness and volcanic-soil energy.
18:30
Table
The Joel Palmer House
A historic farmhouse in Dayton, known for wild mushroom cooking that meets Oregon Pinot exactly where it lives.
Overnight
Stay
The Inn at Red Hills
Back to your Dundee base, through the hills at dusk.
Day Three
Chehalem Mountains & Ribbon Ridge
10:00
Winery
Adelsheim Vineyard
A Chehalem Mountains pioneer. Elegant, age-worthy Pinot from estate blocks planted in the 1970s.
12:00
Winery
Compris Vineyard
Chehalem Mountains estate Pinot, native-yeast and unhurried. Most listings still have it under its old name, Vidon — it changed hands and changed names.
14:30
Winery
Bergström Wines
Biodynamic farming across the Chehalem Mountains and Ribbon Ridge. Ask for the single-vineyard Pinots, and don't skip the Chardonnay.
18:30
Table
Jory at The Allison Inn
Newberg farm-to-table, and the easiest last night in the valley before the drive home.

Generated in about ten seconds, from one bottle. Several of these producers are written up properly in the Oregon guide.

The research happens in the field

Every producer in the guide is somewhere I have actually stood, and the photographs on this page are mine. The travelling, the tastings and the entries as they get written all turn up on Instagram first.
