Cória Estates

Cória Estates is a hilltop tasting room that feels more like a family backyard fête than a corporate cellar. Hand-crafted stone walls and unexpected palm trees frame a sun-baked patio with panoramic Willamette Valley views; servers bring blankets on breezy afternoons and a local musician often strums nearby. The Cória family weaves Mexican-American warmth through the wines — small-production Pinot and sparkling sit alongside a surprising, knockout Chardonnay — and staffers greet regulars by name while making first-timers feel at home. Bring a picnic or time a visit for a weekend tasting paired with BBQ or playful candy pairings. Locals treat it as a weekly escape and members chant its virtues; visitors from out of town come for the vistas and the stories behind the bottles. It’s intimate, proudly bicultural, and unapologetically personal: a place where hospitality is the headline and the wine is the encore.
