Discover Wine That Tastes Vibrant and Alive in the Glass Get a fresh perspective on Oregon wines from the heart of the Willamette Valley.
Reawaken your senses with wine grown in cool climate, high elevation and diverse soils. Our terroir offers a long hang-time that enables us to hand-harvest at the optimal "just ripe" timing that retains the grape's acidity level while also ensuring full phenolic development. In the winery, we control oxygen contact every step of the way and treat every barrel with precision and care. What does this all mean? Exceptional wine with vibrancy, tension and freshness. Experience a curated flight of our wines with a guided tasting in the barrel room of our McMinnville winery or seasonally at our Estate vineyard in Sheridan, Oregon.
Our group of four each had a different glass of Pinot Noir and they were all excellent! The tasting room was very comfortable and the service was impeccable. We'll definitely return.
Violet Vines makes some fantastic wine (highlighted by their Ultraviolet label) and the experience we had at the tasting room and vineyard was outstanding. April and Brian are great folks, wonderful hosts, and have some exciting new varietals coming in the next couple of years. Run, do not walk, to try their stuff. No doubt you’ll become a member.
Came here on a whim. Do not regret my decision. Amazing Pinot Noirs. Ambiance outstanding. Service excellent. Do not miss this Vineyard!
The wine was exceptional and the atmosphere was very welcoming. The owner, Brian, even sat down with us and told us the story of each wine. I would recommend this tasting room to anyone visiting the area.
Beautiful classy space with great wines and friendly people. A can't miss when you are in Carlton!
Absolutely love this fabulous new wine and the incredible experience we had at their new tasting room.
The wine was lovely and a really nice tasting room. Service was great. We really enjoyed our time here.
These guys are amazing! I would highly recommend visiting! The wine will not disappoint cheers
Great experience, great wine! The team did a great job catering to our group. The wines were absolutely perfection - can’t wait to see what Violet Vines comes up with next. No brainer to sign up for the Club!
What a beautiful winery! The reserve ultra violet wines were the best, the pinnacle of an Oregon pinot noir. Thank you for this experience. Cannot wait to return!
The vineyard is beautiful, the tasting room is well-designed and comfortable, and the wines are magnificent. This is a special place…incredibly passionate wine makers who care deeply about their craft.
Chardonnay was lovely and everyone working in their beautiful new tasting room were amazing!
Emma and Brian made us feel like family!! Amazing wine, amazing story and amazing experiences!! Highly recommend coming in and trying it and getting to know them!
They are a new winery in Carlton. They are just the nicest people. I dropped in to say welcome to the neighborhood and left about an hour and a half later! The wines are also some of the best I have ever had! What a great experience! I highly recommend a stop in to try their amazing wines and have a wonderful experience in wine country!
So personal and so welcoming, absolutely loved the experience but the information given on the wine tasting and yet the actual amazing wine brought us back two separate times on one tour!
Beautiful, welcoming tasting room with delicious wines! Amazing service. A must visit.
1st stop on our wine tasting tour. Tried 4 pinots and loved all of them for different reasons. Will definitely make a point to come back on our next tour.
Surprised us by being open late for ladies' night in Carlton. Brian and April were terrific hosts. Brand new tasting room, fantastic wine & a special peanut butter fudge & shortbread treat. Just visit!
Open Wine that Creates a Moment Because the best bottles aren't just tasted, they're remembered and become a part of your story.
Wine owns the dinner table. It's a catalyst for conversation and deepens connection. It's shared during everyday moments and life's special occasions with those who matter most. At Violet Vines, we make wines for people who value the story behind the bottle and take pride in discovering it before everyone else. Not louder, just more intriguing. Do you choose the safe bottle or the interesting one?
Choose Wine with Intention Some wines are purchased. Others are chosen. The difference is identity. Shop from small wine growers and avoid mass produced wine. Choose wine that tastes real and not over-manipulated. Because wine should mean something when it reaches the table and says something about the person who opens it.
We passionately craft delicious wine with authenticity and transparency. Taste our wide selection of varietals that thrive in Oregon's near perfect climate for grape growing. We take pride in crafting small batch wines with integrity that embodies the diverse terroir of both Oregon's Willamette Valley and Rocks District of Milton-Freewater. Minimal intervention. Thoughtfully made. Priced responsively.
