Wine Tasting

Please Read Before Booking

We are truly a niche winery, and as such are, frankly, not equipped to handle everyone.

We’re not snotty or snobby - just the opposite in fact, but we’re very small and focused on a specific wine consumer. If you will take the time to read this next little bit, you can determine if we’re a good fit for each other. We want you to enjoy your trip to the Willamette Valley, and picking the right places makes all the difference.

We exist for those who truly love and appreciate wine. Our customers drink wine every week. If you are searching for exceptional wines at fair prices to purchase and take or ship home, Native Flora is hard to beat. We compromise on nothing. We grow every grape. We make every wine. All tastings are hosted by one of our two owners in their home/winery. Our wines are sold directly to consumer; they can only be bought here. We are not flashy - we’re steady and good at what we do. We make great wine.

If you are looking for the coolest, newest, chef-driven wine experience, that’s not us. If you want a place to hangout and share a glass or bottle with friends on site, that’s not us. If you want the glitz and glamour of a Napa-style winery, that’s not us. There are other places in the valley great for those pursuits. Our focus is wine, wine, wine, and then, wine.

Wine tasting at Native Flora is intimate, fun and unhurried. We are one of a handful of premium producing, all-estate, boutique wineries in the valley that offer owner-led, private tastings. Tasting with the owners offers first-hand insights into vineyard, winemaking, and business decisions - and an opportunity to ask questions rarely fielded in an open tasting room.

Tastings typically take 75 to 90 minutes as we answer questions and browse through the vast array of wines we offer. Our tasting fee is $50 per person, waived with a 3-bottle purchase per person. Our atmosphere is casual; you are encouraged to relax, breathe some fresh air, crack a joke, and ask whatever you like. We enjoy the personal nature of our tastings – we get to know our patrons as they get to know our wines and life.

All of our guests seem to appreciate the tranquility and humanity of our place, and the private nature of their visit. It allows everyone to wind down a notch or two, and enjoy both wines and conversation. There is a definite reason that we call our home “The Dundee Hills Winery Sanctum”.  Whether you are the ultimate “pinot snob” or a newer consumer trying to decipher the world of wine, we’ll do our best to make you feel at home while we delight your palate.  

Cheers!

Directions

Situated midway between the Ribbon Ridge AVA and the city of Dundee, you can reach us either via Highway 240 or from downtown Dundee. If coming west from Newberg on 240, simply turn left on Worden Hill Rd (be careful at the turn as oncoming traffic can be difficult to see), then travel 1.5 miles to our driveway. If in Dundee, turn north on 9th Street which becomes Worden Hill Rd, travel 4.5 miles to reach us.

We do not maintain any road signage. Our entrance is marked by an old silver barn with a white door and a broad chimney sticking out of its roof. This is the old prune dryer dating back to the 1930’s, when this area was a huge producer of plums, prunes and cherries. Our driveway runs right behind the barn. The entrance gate is very non-descript, and always closed - it keeps out deer. There is a keypad to open the gate. When you arrive, call us so we can give you the gate code for the day, and further instructions on finding us on top of the hill.

Once up top, you can see over 80 other vineyards and wineries in the distance!
