King Estate Winery is my favorite in the United States. My husband and I have been fans of King Estate wine for more than ten years so when we had the chance to go for brunch and wine tasting, we were so excited to go. Boy, the vineyard, food, and wines were amazing! Go early Wednesday - Sunday, if possible, so that you can be there when there aren't so many people. However, check their website for opening times before you go. I'll be back next year!

Long, but beautiful drive(25 min from Eugene). Beautiful hilltop setting and a chateau stlye lodge. Great service, great food, on the pricey side, but worth it. Perfect for intimate dinner, or groups.

Wow. We picked this spot because it was open a little later than the rest and we were driving through EugeneSUCH a gorgeous place - literally like a castle in Spain. This spot is a pretty sustainable operation as well; composting grape skins, using sheep to mow the grass Their wines were phenomenal. Lots of care and thought into the process. We had a tasting with the pros and they were so knowledgable and friendly. We had a charcuterie board which was amazing as well. You cant beat the view from the patio and service. When we told some friends we stopped there they mentioned how fancy

The online reservation process was straightforward so we ventured out to enjoy a wine tasting experience for the first time, in a long time. The wines were good, the snacks were delicious and the views were outstanding. We did not order a meal in the restaurant but we will be back. Definitely a place to check out!!

We had hoped to dine at the restaurant, but covid-19 spoiled these plans. We ordered the cheese and charcuterie board and the fish board. Both were amazing. The wine flight was reasonably priced with generous pours. Beautiful vineyards and hills surround the tasting patio. Ample parking with charging stations too.
