Oregon is well-known for its stunning waterfalls, its lush, green forests, and its magnificent coast...but there's another claim to fame here in the Beaver State - our amazing wine. There's a vineyard in Eugene that's one of the largest organic vineyards in the entire world, and you definitely need to pay it a visit soon.
King Estate Winery is a family-owned vineyard located on the gently rolling hills of Eugene. You'll find it at 80854 Territorial Hwy., Eugene, OR 97405.
The winery opened in 1991, and it's been producing award-winning pinot gris...
...and pinot noir wines ever since.
The vineyards here are certified organic, and the winery never uses any kind of pesticide or chemicals on this land.
Instead, you'll find plants all around the estate that attract beneficial insects, and owls, kestrels, and other birds also provide insect control. Grapes are thinned by hand, and harvested by hand as well.
The result of this dedicated care of the land? Absolutely amazing wine.
In addition to 314 acres of pinot gris vineyards, and 143 acres of pinot noir vineyards, the property boasts an acre of lavender and 30 acres of gardens and orchards. The winery is one of the largest organic wineries in the entire world!
Stop in at the Visitor Center, where you'll find the tasting room and restaurant.
Winery tours are offered on the hour every hour until 5 p.m.. Reserve your spot in advance by calling the winery at 541-685-5189.
There's no better way to explore the wines produced at King Estate than by tasting them! The tasting room is open seven days a week.
Enjoy a delicious, gourmet meal at the restaurant, which features dishes made using the produce grown right in the gardens on the winery.
When the weather is nice you'll want to dine on the patio, where you'll enjoy gorgeous views of the estate.
The restaurant is open for Saturday and Sunday brunch, lunch Monday through Friday, and dinner seven days a week. You can also enjoy dessert, wine, or cheese and charcuterie all week long.
