Experience a Private Willamette Valley Wine Tasting in the Hills West of Carlton

We invite you to an exciting personal tasting at our estate vineyard in the hills west of Carlton, Oregon. Designed for guests who appreciate a thoughtful, guided exploration of both the wines and the place that shapes them, each appointment offers an exciting, in-depth experience of Lonesome Rock.

Hosted personally by the owners, tastings provide a rare opportunity to engage directly with the people behind the farming, winemaking, and philosophy of the estate. Appointments are intentionally limited to ensure an unhurried setting, with conversation tailored to your interests—from viticulture and site specifics to vintage character and cellar aging.

Each tasting includes a curated selection of current releases and, when available, library bottlings that reflect the evolution and longevity of our wines.

We are a working vineyard and do not offer walk-ins. For same-day availability, please text or call 847-308-9019 and we will accommodate you if possible.

$30 per person (waived with 3-bottle purchase or private client membership)
