Discover Winderlea
We look forward to sharing Winderlea with you. Depending on your time, interest and comfort, we offer a selection of experiences to learn more about our wines, our vineyards and our community. From Tasting Flights hosted by one of our knowledgeable Ambassadors, to a Vineyard Hike and Tasting, or perhaps a Summertime Lunch, we look forward to hosting you. You are able to book the experience of your choice online or by contacting us at info@winderlea.com or 503-554-5900.
Our experiences showcase Winderlea’s broad selection of single vineyard Pinot noirs as well as our white, pink and sparkling wines, when seasonally available. The proceeds from our tasting experiences are donated to ¡Salud!, the organization that provides access to healthcare and dental care services to Oregon’s vineyard stewards and their families. Because of this donation, Winderlea does not refund the tasting fee for bottle purchases. We do offer limited complimentary tastings to Winderlea Wine Society Members.

Clue Tasting
$35 Per Person | 4 Complimentary for Members
Feeling confident in your established or newly acquired tasting skills? Then this is the flight for you. A selection of wines will be poured blind, and your group will use the guidance and “clues” of a Winderlea Ambassador, and our tasting notes, to assist you in determining which wine is in each of the 5 glasses. Leave your egos at home and have fun with this sometimes humbling deductive journey.

Barrel To Bottle

Follow Winderlea’s Dundee Hills Pinot noirs from the barrel to the bottle.

The tour then moves from the vineyard to Bill’s “winerette” on the property. Here, the focus moves into the process of turning fruit into wine. This is followed by a tasting of selected Dundee Hills wines paired with local artisan cheeses.
