Cheers to 20 Years of Exceptional Wines & Community

In 2025, the Yamhill-Carlton AVA marks an extraordinary milestone—20 years of cultivating one of the most celebrated wine regions in the Willamette Valley. Over the past two decades, this beautiful corner of Oregon has grown into a world-renowned destination for exceptional Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and sparkling wines.

The journey of the Yamhill-Carlton AVA has been one of dedication, innovation, and a deep respect for this land that we call home. With rich, ancient marine sediment soils and gentle rolling hills, the region offers the perfect terroir for crafting wines of elegance and complexity.

We are proud to contribute to this thriving community. Our vineyards are more than just places where grapes grow—they are where stories are shared, connections are made, and memories are created over a glass of beautifully crafted wine.

Reaching this 20-year milestone is a testament to the passion and collaboration of the people who have poured their hearts into nurturing this region - from family-owned vineyards to innovative winemakers, Yamhill-Carlton has become synonymous with quality and authenticity.

To mark this epic milestone, the Yamhill-Carlton AVA invites you to the 20th Anniversary Spring Tasting Event on Saturday, May 3, at Abbey Road Farm. This event promises to be a delightful gathering of wine enthusiasts, industry pioneers, and community members, all raising a glass to the past, present, and future of our beloved AVA.

Come and enjoy tastings from some of the region’s finest producers, connect with winemakers, and celebrate the incredible journey of Yamhill-Carlton.

Cheers to 20 years and the many vintages yet to come!
