Founded in the Chehalem Mountains in 1999, Alloro Vineyard is a 110-acre wine farm producing small quantities of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Riesling, and sparkling wines. In addition to 34 acres of planted vines, the holistic farm just 30 minutes from Portland raises pigs, registered Hereford cattle and heritage breeds of sheep, and grows fig, chestnut, walnut, hazelnut, and olive trees, along with vegetables and hay for livestock.

Located just 30 minutes from Portland, Alloro Vineyard’s new tasting house, a warm and open stone structure completed in late 2020, offers tastings seven days a week from 11 am to 4 pm.

Overlooking Alloro’s estate vineyard plantings, guests can opt to taste either inside the stylish, yet classic living room featuring large windows, soft furnishings, and elegant fireplace, or on the sleek, wrap-around patio to enjoy the view of surrounding forest and vineyards.
