Winery
Domaine Willamette is Oregon’s first winery exclusively dedicated to producing world-class méthode traditionnelle sparkling wines in its underground aging cellar at Bernau Estate Vineyard. Located in the Dundee Hills, the winery offers Oregon-inspired hospitality with wine and food pairings, stunning views, educational tours and beautiful gardens to explore. Wines are paired with Willamette Cuisine – dishes grounded in the high-quality agricultural products of the Pacific Northwest.
Bernau Estate Vineyard is certified sustainable through LIVE (Low Input Viticulture and Enology) and Salmon-Safe. Additionally, Bernau Estate Vineyard is farmed using biodynamic principles and practices. The site’s original 15 acres of Pinot Noir were planted in 1994 and in 2019 the vineyard crew added an additional nine acres of Pinot Meunier, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.

- BDBill DeYoung1 day ago5.0The choices from the Pairings Menu were really delicious and went very well with the wines. Specifically, Devan was attentive and very helpful with the questions from my group. He even went back to the kitchen to clarify an inquiry about some of the items on the Cascadia Board.
- AAAimee2 days ago5.0During our visit to Domain Willamette today, we were elated by our experience with our server Devan. He went out of his way to inform us of the rich history of Willamette vineyards and their partners within our communities. We’ve been to Willamette vineyards many times and yet Devan still found things that we did not yet know Although our exchange with a gentleman named Gabe was short, we were impressed by his great customer service and friendly demeanor. As always the wines were exceptional!
- DSDiana SaladinoJan 5, 20265.0We spent a lovely couple hours at Domaine Willamette. The location itself is just gorgeous. We did a wine and chocolate tasting menu and everything was exceptional. Our experience was made even better by Autumn. She was so knowledgeable and we learned about everything from soil content to bees. Thank you, Autumn, for an amazing and memorable experience. We will definitely be back.
- GRGeo RuizJan 4, 20265.0Stopped by for a quick tasting and didn’t regret it one bit! Fay was excellent as my server and showed me the diversity of the wines along with perfect pairings for my food as well! Look forward to visiting again soon!
- MDMichele DelmarcoDec 28, 20255.0My husband Rob Stopped at Domaine Willamette enroute to Eugene for CFP. From the moment I walked in and over two hours later was treated like absolute royalty. Autumn was one of the most passionate and knowledgeable servers I have ever met! As a first timer to the Willamette Valley (and dedicated to Santa Rita Hills) I fully appreciated this terroir, the care and history of the land and winemakers and joined their wine club without hesitation, as ALL of their wines, white and red, were top notch, and is rare to experience such high quality across all of their wines. The grounds were absolutely breathtaking and the service was top notch. Thank you so much for such a memorable experience and I look forward to enjoying Willamette wines for years to come! -Rob
