The Estate Tasting Room is nestled in the foothills of the coastal range less than 15 minutes west of Carlton. Relax while enjoying a flight with small bites, and taking in the beautiful scenery. The Estate Tasting Room is tended by our wine educators who can offer personalized winery and vineyard tours tailored to your interests. Chris James Cellars is a family owned and operated vineyard and winery that produces unique and interesting wines in Carlton, Oregon. The vineyard was planted in 2012, with additional blocks planted in each year since. In 2015 we produced our first lots of Pinot Noir and Sauvignon Blanc and have since expanded our wine selection to offer hand-crafted lots of Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc, Gewurztraminer, Riesling, Dolcetto, Lagrein and more.
