Solena Vineyard (from Doc Ed)

Solena Vineyard (solenaestate.com) is a delightful destination in Willamette Valley.  Their grapes come from their 80 acre property, as well as multiple vineyards throughout Oregon and Washington.  They offer Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir, and Cabernet Sauvignon.  Most of their Pinot Noir offerings are blends of popular clones such as Pommard, Wadenswil, and Coury, however it can be difficult to determine which clones are offered in the bottles. 
The welcoming and well-decorated tasting room is open daily from 11:00 to 5:00.   The Solena staff were friendly and very knowledgeable about their product.  I appreciated that they checked each new bottle before serving it.  Several groups of guests were present when I was there, and all seemed to get an appropriate level of attention.

​The wine club membership levels are either three or six bottles every quarter.  Membership brings a 15% to 20% discount, along with free tastings.  Because Solena owns Hyland Vineyard, membership at Hyland brought free tastings at Solena.
In addition to the main tasting room, Solena also had a separate room for tasting which included an impressive kitchen area.  I could picture bringing a group for wine and food pairings!  Also, according to Solena’s website, they have a cottage on the property which is available for convenient overnight accommodations.
