If you Love Wine, you will Love Tumwater Vineyard...
March 17. 2019
I have had the privilege of not only consuming their tasty wine but have also attended events and created some gorgeous images at this beautiful vineyard location. Welcomed by the owner and their fabulous manager Pascale, with wine & a kind smile, how could I not love this place. Located on Pete's Mountain Road in West Linn, O.R. this close, yet peaceful, the location creates a warm and comfortable space to gather with friends.
Their Barrel House, replicated after an authentic barn, was built using timber-framed mortise and tenon joints. After careful planning professionals were brought in to assess what grapes would flourish, rows were plotted, the soil turned and stakes were set in place. All was left to do was wait!
The public had first access to the vineyard in July for the 2016 NW Natural Street of Dreams show, which lasted through August. Since then Tumwater Vineyards has won many awards and produced lots of delicious wine.
As a wine lover I had to ask Pascale what the best part of her job is and the variety of it all is what peaks her interest.
A challenge for this secluded vineyard is just that, it is hidden a little too well. Bringing more awareness to the public is what Tumwater is currently focusing on. Many locals are still finding this hidden gem and I hope to help with that by spreading the word.
As for any future plans, they are working on increasing the number of private events and distributing their wines more, locally. Let's not forget about getting a few more high scores from those wine critics.

“It’s so pretty and just a great place to hang out with friends loved ones and enjoy a glass of wine.”
We know wine is yummy to drink all year round but summer is when this Barrel House really goes off! 23-acres of vineyard, a wine tasting room, trout pond, and breathtaking Mt. Hood views, perfect for events, parties, and just because you can.
“Next year I plan on creating a fundraising event, a winemakers dinner, and few other happenings as well.”
When not at the vineyard Pascale enjoys spending time with her husband and two boys, exploring the nature of Oregon. We both hope you stop by for yourself to explore Tumwater VIneyards and what they have to offer.
Enjoy a flight of Tumwater wines, and of course, all are available to enjoy by the glass. They also offer a complimentary tasting for Wine Club Members and just created a second level in their wine club with 4 releases a year. Make the experience last, take some home and enjoy it anytime you want.
