Wine Tasting

Albany is home to a region full of vineyards and wine tasting opportunities. Enjoy lunch at Gamberetti’s where they buy from local farmers market, using sustainable, natural and organic ingredients whenever possible

After lunch, head to Springhill Cellars, where the estate vineyard and winery are on the slopes of Springhill, a gentle hill not far from the banks of the Willamette River. Call ahead for an appointment.

Just to the north of Albany is Willamette Valley Vineyards, one of the oldest and most prestigious wineries in the mid-valley. Call ahead for reservation information.

If you have more time to explore, try one of the Heart of Willamette Wineries–a collection of boutique wineries within 50 miles of Albany producing memorable Oregon wines. Then head back to Albany for dinner at Sweet Red Wine Bistro where you can order from local and international wines and sample great food and cheeses, or stop by Wine Crush for a shared appetizer or charcuterie board.
