The Willamette Valley is recognized as one of the premier wine-growing regions in the world and is home to two-thirds of Oregon’s wineries. That is why it is no surprise that Portland is home to more than 30 wineries and countless bars and restaurants with wine lists that will impress even the most seasoned sommelier. May is Oregon Wine Month, so this week we are bringing you some of our favorite spots around town to get a great glass (or bottle!) of vino.

  • Beaumont: Blackbird Wine Shop is a cute neighborhood emporium offering French, Spanish, and local wines by the glass, plus gourmet cheeses and meat products.
  • Central Eastside: There are numerous options for wining and dining in the Central Eastside. For a private, small group tasting and personalized experience, try Division Winemaking Co.
  • Division/Clinton: Where everyone that proceeds with kindness, curiosity and sense of humor is welcome, Division Wines is where people see one another and connect over a common love of wine, and countless other things. This place is a staple of the PDX wine scene.
  • Foster: Level up your grocery run with a trip to Bread and Roses Market, where you can grab a quality bottle of wine with their well-curated assortment of produce, food, and other grocery items. If you’re looking to lounge a little bit with a glass (or bottle to-go) of something locally sourced, Portland Wine Company is just north of Foster and has an excellent vibe and selection.
  • Greater Brooklyn: Hip Chicks do Wine is Portland’s Oldest Urban Winery! They are known for hosting regular events at their tap room and winery.
  • Midway: For a great selection of bottled wine from around the world, check out the locally-owned Grocery Outlet at 122nd & Division. Their buyers make it a priority to stock a selection of high-quality wine for every price point.

  • NE Broadway: Great Wine Buys is Portland’s oldest independent wine shop – established in 1984. They stock over 1500 wines from the world’s top wine regions, including more than 400 from some of the Northwest’s best (and hard to find) wineries.
  • NW Industrial: Bodecker Cellars specializes in small lot, terroir-driven Pinot Noirs and is Co-owned by Athena Pappas, who studied wine-making at UC Davis and Chemeketa CC.
  • St. Johns: 45th Parallel Wines is a retail bottle shop and wine bar with an emphasis on highlighting unique wines from all corners of Oregon. They primarily work with independent, sustainably-minded producers.
  • Williams District: Ora et Labora firmly believes that drinking wine is about more than sensory engagement. It is an intellectual, critical exploration of all that goes into a glass. Their beautiful space is a great spot for a glass, bottle, or more! And, for more than 20 years, GC Wines has sourced fruit from growers in Oregon and Washington who have committed to sustainable, organic and sensible farming. Check out their tasting room!
