Evening Land Vineyards holds tastings at their Seven Springs Vineyard in Salem.
Between January and March, vintners across the Willamette Valley take a deep breath and savor the joys of Cellar Season—a quiet time between winter's Giving Season and the first bud break in spring.
For fans of the Willamette Valley's more than 700 wineries, Cellar Season is a time to slow down, cozy up to fireplaces in their favorite tasting rooms, see what's new, and explore the regional wine scene at a more laid-back pace—usually over glasses of just-released vintages and while talking with the winemakers themselves.
So if you're interested in exploring the Willamette Valley wine scene this Cellar Season (Jan. 1-March 31), we've put together a guide for your tasting pleasure that explains this magical time of year. If you prefer a guided tour, rather than a solo expedition try our new luxury wine tours: Chef's Guided Tasting Experience and Hidden Gems Winery Tour.
