Our visit to Laurel Ridge Winery was one of the most memorable experiences of our Oregon wine trip…read more Set on a beautiful 240-acre estate in the Yamhill-Carlton AVA, this second-generation, family-owned winery embodies everything that makes Oregon wine country special -- authenticity, passion, and a deep respect for the land. We were greeted warmly by Kira Teppola, who now carries on the legacy started by her father, founder David Teppola. From the moment she began sharing her family's story -- from her father's early fascination with French wine to his pioneering belief in the Willakenzie Loam soils -- we were captivated. Kira's knowledge of the land, the vines, and the winemaking process was extraordinary. Her enthusiasm was contagious; we hung on every word and felt truly connected to the spirit of Laurel Ridge. Even the family vineyard dog, who was initially a bit cautious, became our friend by the end of the visit! The wines were exceptional. My favorite was the 2017 Barrel Select Pinot Noir, beautifully balanced and expressive of the terroir. We enjoyed it so much we opened a bottle that very night. The next day, I couldn't stop thinking about the bright, refreshing 2023 Sauvignon Blanc, so we went back just to buy more! Kira graciously set us up with a picnic table outside under a heat lamp so we could enjoy lunch overlooking the estate -- and even poured us a little more wine "so we wouldn't get thirsty." It's rare to find a place that feels this genuine -- where every glass tells a story, and every detail reflects generations of care. Laurel Ridge isn't just a winery; it's a living family legacy built on passion, perseverance, and love for the land. If you're exploring the Willamette Valley, don't miss this place. Come for the wine, stay for the warmth of the people.

She gave us advice on wines, talked about the area, talked about when she first visited before moving and what she'd recommend we do later in the evening. She gave us an extra tasting as well of something that I don't think was even on the menu. Really appreciated everything she did and she made Argyle worthwhile. The wines were good but I wasn't blown away by anything. It was a broad selection which meant they definitely had something for everyone but it did feel a little bit more corporate than some of the other local places. I would return, we had a great time. Super convenient location, cool vibes.

It was so luxurious I had to take a bottle of the special port style dessert wine home to enjoy on special occasions. We can't wait to return and have another experience like today.

Flash forward a year or so ago, when they were having an event in late winter with complimentary tastings. Since then, I am there every few weeks.

There is a food cart on site and the menu has been updated by a new chef, you won't be disappointed. I'm not a big games person, but you will see me and my ladies down for Bingo the first Thursday of the month! Have I mentioned the music? The best musicians in Oregon Wine Country are there every Friday and Saturday evenings and with that comes many of their groupies. Other events include, trivia night and Song writers Show case as well as line dancing.

This place is very clean and the grounds are well manicured and taken care of. The Brazilian lime aid is my favorite as it tastes just like you're eating a key lime pie! I did like the hardchata as well, it's creamy and blast you with cinnamon. We had to grab a 6 pack of the Hard Brazilian lime aid to take home to enjoy. Fantastic find!
