Fall in Love with Dundee Wine Country

Fall is when Dundee, Oregon, truly glows. Locals claim it their favorite time of year, and with good reason. Grapes hang heavy on the vine through late summer and early fall, signaling the peak of harvest season when winemakers bring in the fruit that will define a new vintage of Pinot Noir or Chardonnay. Then, like a dance across the Dundee Hills, brilliant shades of orange, crimson, yellow sweep through hills, transforming the landscape into something uniquely local. This is the moment we wait for all year.
Crisp morning air, the crunch of fallen leaves underfoot, and curated tasting menus mark the season. Dundee wineries host special fall harvest events, offering a chance to experience the full rhythm of the vineyard up close. Between sips, soak in sweeping, misty views that stretch for miles, framed by the glowing autumn foliage.

Dogs aren’t just allowed here — they’re warmly welcomed guests.

Ditch the Umbrella in the Willamette Valley
Fall in the Willamette Valley brings more sunshine than you might expect. Think crisp air, golden leaves, and bluebird skies perfect for wine tasting and vineyard tours. Skip the umbrella and enjoy the views. And if the skies sprinkle a little, all the better. It’s the perfect excuse for a bubble bath and a glass of Pinot back at your Dundee hideaway.
Prepare to Unwind in Wine Country
This is Willamette Valley wine country with a laid-back vibe. Gravel roads lead to charming tasting rooms, meals over-deliver in the best way, and the people are as warm as the wine is smooth. Forget the dress code and settle in. Dundee is the kind of place where slowing down just feels right.
