Urban Wineries in Portland
Many wineries have sprouted in the bustling city of Portland. These wineries trade in their rolling hills for a view overlooking downtown.
These are known as urban wineries. They are making a big impact in the city not only because they are convenient but also because they have access to a variety of grapes that can be harvested and bottled. Oregon is well-known for its pinots. These 10 urban wineries offer excellent Pinot Noir, Gris, and many other varieties.
