Put this on your must-visit list:📍Ambar Estate in the Dundee Hills.
The views, the architecture, the gardens, the hospitality, the food, the wine… everything is intentional.
Ambar is Willamette Valley’s first Regenerative Organic Certified vineyard, with all of their Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grown right on the estate.
And come hungry! Ambar has my favorite food program in the Valley, with seasonal pairings that complement each wine and special dinners led by Chef Heidi Whitney-Schile — all highlighting local farms and seasonal ingredients.
