Winery Tour & Tasting

We invite you and your group to experience a behind the scenes look at our winery. One of our staff will guide your group exclusively through the hows and whys of making great Oregon wine, and taste some of the many lots of our Pinot noirs directly from the barrel in our winery.

Over the course of 90 minutes, our knowledgeable and friendly team will guide your group through a comprehensive look at the process of making our delicious wines. Once you leave the winery, you’ll finish in the winery’s tasting room to end with a flight of our most current release, finished wines.

Reserve Seated Tasting

At R. Stuart & Co. Winery, winemaker Rob Stuart buys fruit from over a dozen vineyards around the Willamette Valley. This gives us the unique opportunity to marvel at the distinctive terroir of each vineyard – and now it’s your turn. While our blended Pinots are nationally renowned, our Single Vineyard Pinot Noirs are a well-kept secret just waiting for you to discover.

We invite you to join us for a 90 minute exclusive, private seated tasting. While you experience a hand-selected flight of our limited production Pinot Noirs, we will be your guide to the nuances of this wonderful wine valley, all without ever leaving downtown McMinnville. This is a fabulous tasting and learning opportunity for those with a passion for fine Oregon Pinot Noir, and for those who long to learn more.

    • Beginning at $45 per person and available by advanced reservation only. Tasting fee is non-refundable.
    • Maximum of 10 people per tasting.
    • Available Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday at either 11am, 1pm, or 3pm.
