Lonesome Rock Estate Wines

Location: 18495 NW Meadow Lake Rd, Carlton, OR 97111

Hours: By appointment only

Among the most northwestern vineyards in the Willamette Valley, Lonesome Rock is planted within a cool, sunny bowl at high elevation in the ancient volcanic soils of Oregon’s Coast Range. Rapidly rising mountains to the north and west shield the site from the early fall rains, while sunny days and cold nights create a sharp shift in temperature.

These combined conditions allow for an unusually extended growing season, during which the grapes ripen slowly and retain their natural acidity. Yields are naturally limited, resulting in small, intensely flavored clusters - a winemaker’s dream. The result is unique Pinot Noir and Chardonnay with depth, perfume, structure, electric acidity, and the rare promise of longevity.

Set apart by geography and microclimate, Lonesome Rock is a distinctive Willamette Valley winery - a beautiful, off-the-beaten-path destination just seven miles west of downtown Carlton, OR.

Enjoy a focused, personal wine tasting at their estate vineyard and tasting house in Carlton, Oregon - designed for both new and seasoned wine enthusiasts and collectors who appreciate an in-depth, guided exploration of our wines, vineyard, and story.

Each tasting is hosted personally by the owners, offering a rare opportunity to engage directly with the people behind the farming, winemaking, and philosophy that shape every vintage. Appointments are intentionally limited to ensure an unhurried, thoughtful experience, with discussions tailored to your interests - from vineyard practices to vintage character to cellar aging at the winery.

Tastings feature a curated selection of current releases and, when available, library bottlings that showcase the evolution of their wines over time.
