Oui! wine bar and restaurant

Oregon | United States

Oregon is known for its wine and food. Why not experience both at the same time? You can get just a simple glass of wine, try a flight, grab dinner or do the best of all worlds with a flight and food combination.

Cellier Dominicain Wine Tasting

France

This wine producer offers a nice indoor tasting room and pours both white and red varietals from grapes grown in the nearby hills. The tasting itself is free or you can opt for a cellar tour. The wine was quite good and very reasonably priced (we took a few bottles home).

Abbaye de Fontfroide

France

The Abbey was created in 1093 by a group of Benedictine monks and at one point became one of the richest Cistercian monasteries in the Christian world. Today it offers an extremely interesting historical tour of a beautifully intact abbey and is frankly impressive.

Maison Joseph Drouhin

France

You must book ahead for this! It's a great visit to a high quality winery / producer (it's not cheap and you will need reservations). It's located right in town and offers history along with tasting, as it served as the cellars of kings of Burgundy and France.

Patriarche Pere et Fils

France

This is the largest and most impressive wine cellar in town and offers a tour of some of their three miles of caves followed by a tasting of 1o wines (a better deal than the Marche aux Vins -  though perhaps not as broad a sampling as focused on one producer).
