New Estate Plantings

We've been busy at our Russell-Grooters Vineyard, and not only tending the Pinot for Roads End and Cape Lookout. Now we have four acres newly planted with four white varietals:

  • Sauvignon Blanc
  • Pinot Gris
  • Pinot Blanc
  • Auxerrois Blanc
  • Riesling

It'll be a while yet before the vines yield fruit and you start seeing Carlton Cellars whites in bottle. Expect the first fruit in 2010. Be patient! Meanwhile, no better way to pass the time than with the 2006 Roads End and Cape Lookout Pinot Noirs and our very limited-run 2007 Agate Beach Pinot Noir Rosé.

Harvest Dinners & Picnics in the Vineyard

Stay tuned — we're cooking up big plans for harvest-season dinners and picnics in our breathtaking hillside vineyard just outside of Carlton. We'll let you know just as soon as we have all the details for these special-invitation autumn events. Watch for the news in this e-newsletter and on our events webpage.

Petting Vineyard Now Open

Make an appointment to come visit the Petting Vineyard we've planted outside our Carlton Cellars Winery & Tasting Room. Come meet the grapes, get to know your winemakers, and slake your thirst here in the heart of Willamette Valley wine country. Call (503)852-7888 or visit our website for location and contact information.


See you in Carlton!
