At Airlie Winery, we have dedicated ourselves to crafting exceptional wines since our founding in 1986. Established in the heart of the Willamette Valley, our winery was originally a Christmas tree farm before transitioning to viticulture in 1983. As a women-owned and operated business, we prioritize sustainability through LIVE Certified Sustainable and Salmon Safe practices. Our destination winery offers an immersive experience with a family-style atmosphere, featuring an intimate tasting room, scenic outdoor seating, and a tranquil pond area where guests can relax with their dogs. With over three decades of experience, our team, led by owner Mary Olson and winemaker Elizabeth Clark, produces award-winning wines from nine varietals across 30 acres of vineyards.We pride ourselves on creating a welcoming environment where visitors can linger over curated wine flights, enjoy picnics, and experience the natural beauty of our estate. Our commitment to quality extends to our Wine Club, which provides exclusive benefits and hand-selected releases twice annually. As stewards of this land, we balance tradition with innovation to deliver wines that reflect the unique terroir of the Willamette Valley.

If you want to visit one of the most accommodating, friendly wineries, this is the place. The winery is nestled in the hills of King's Valley. It's quiet, secluded and very scenic. The wine maker is up and coming, making truly spectacular wines. I expect these wines will, all be world class in no time. Spend an afternoon, take your dog, buy a bottle, and enjoy. You'll be glad you did.

Great laid back setting with delicious wines. They are dog friendly so there was several dogs running around, which was super fun for us, but may not be for everyone. Worth a trip!

My new favorite winery. The wine selection is great and the tasting consists of 6 wines of your choice for only $10. Of that $10, $5 is donated to local food banks. The grounds are gorgeous and the dogs are very cute.
