Newberg

Varnum Vintners Tasting Room

Eola-Amity Hills / Newberg · Newberg · Wine Tasting Room

The Wild Card

Varnum Vintners is the kind of small Oregon producer tasting room that rewards curious drinkers willing to lean into something a little different — primarily bubbles, zero pretension, and prices that won't make you wince. If you're doing the Eola-Amity Hills wine trail and want to veer off the Pinot-only path, stop here.

Chehalem Winery Downtown Tasting Room

Downtown Newberg · Newberg · Wine Bar / Tasting Room

The Wild Card

This isn't a wine list — it's a masterclass in one winery's output, and Chehalem has more than enough depth to make that a worthwhile trip. If you're in the Willamette Valley and haven't booked a flight here yet, fix that.

Jay's Bar & Grill

North Newberg · Newberg · Bar & Grill

The Lazy List

Jay's is a perfectly decent neighborhood hangout where wine is an afterthought — and that's fine, except you're in Newberg, Oregon, surrounded by world-class Pinot Noir producers who'd love to be on a list like this. If you're here for the wings and a cold drink, you're in the right place; if you came for the wine, you took a wrong turn about three exits back.

The Allison Inn & Spa – Bar and Lounge

East Newberg / Allison Inn area · Newberg · Hotel Bar / Lounge

The Rager

The Allison's bar and lounge is doing something genuinely rare: a grower Champagne program deep enough to anchor a dedicated wine bar, bolted onto a luxury hotel in the Willamette Valley. If you're anywhere near Newberg, this is worth the detour — ideally timed to the 2 p.m. Happy Hour.

The Bar & Grill at Chehalem Glenn

Chehalem Glenn / East Newberg · Newberg · Grill / American

The Lazy List

Come here for the golf, the views, and a cold beer after your round — the wine list is an afterthought in one of America's great wine regions, and that's a shame. If you must order wine, grab the Rainstorm Pinot and appreciate the irony of drinking Oregon on an Oregon golf course while a hundred better bottles go unpoured nearby.

Social Goods

Downtown Newberg · Newberg · Wine Bar / Market

The Wild Card

Social Goods is not a wine destination, but it's a wildly pleasant surprise — a pizza and beer joint in the middle of Oregon wine country that's actually paying attention to the glass pours. At these prices, with these producers, it earns a visit even if you came just for the trivia night.

Rosmarino Osteria Italiana

Downtown Newberg · Newberg · Northern Italian

The Wild Card

Rosmarino is doing something quietly ambitious: building an all-Italian wine list in the middle of Pinot Noir country and making it feel completely natural. It's not a deep list, but it's an honest one — and that Yamhill-Carlton Dolcetto alone is worth the detour.

Red Hills Kitchen

Downtown / Atticus Hotel · Newberg · New American / Wine Country Bistro

The Wild Card

Red Hills Kitchen isn't trying to be a wine destination — but with a list this tightly focused on local producers and markups that won't make you wince, it quietly earns that status anyway. If you're rolling through Newberg and want to drink Oregon wine the way it's meant to be drunk, this is the room to do it in.

JORY Restaurant at The Allison Inn & Spa

East Newberg / Allison Inn area · Newberg · Pacific Northwest farm-to-table, seasonal American

The Rager

JORY is the rare resort restaurant where the wine list is the reason to show up, not just a supporting act. If you're passing through wine country and only have one serious dinner in you, make it here.
