You can make this as much, or as little, of your day as you want.
 
Sometimes “going wine tasting” sounds like something you need to organize properly.
 
Pick a date. Rally everyone. Plan the route. Clear the afternoon.
 
But when the vineyard is about 15 minutes from Hillsboro and five minutes off the highway, it can also be a fairly spontaneous decision.
 
Come out for an hour.
 
Stay for two.
 
Turn it into a whole afternoon if you feel like it.
 
We’re not going to tell you which version is correct.
 
The point is that wine country doesn’t have to feel far away, complicated, or like something you need to save for a special occasion.
 
Sometimes it really is just down the road.

We added Sauvignon Blanc to the lineup this year. Safe to say, it’s settled in quickly.
 
This one comes from young vines at Forest Hills Vineyard in the Chehalem Mountains AVA, and it has a very different energy from the rest of our lineup.
 
Bright. Aromatic. Fresh.
 
Think lemon verbena, gooseberry, lime zest and passionfruit, with this sharp little key-lime-margarita snap that keeps everything moving.
 
It’s fermented in stainless steel, which lets all of that freshness stay front and center.
 
It’s the the bottle we keep reaching for when the afternoon is still warm and something cold sounds like exactly the right idea.
 
New to Shumaker Vineyards, but already feeling very at home.
 
If this sounds like your kind of Sauvignon Blanc, head to the shop and take a look.

An amazing Friday night is coming together at Shumaker Vineyards. Introducing - Vines after Five!
 
On September 18, we’re bringing together live music from Bill Hernandez, dinner from local family-run Dongbei Dimple Dumplings, and plenty of our wine.
 
The evening runs from 5pm to 8pm, with food and music starting at 5.30pm.
 
Tickets are $25 for Wine Club members and $30 for non-members, with wine available to purchase separately by the glass or bottle throughout the evening.
 
Wine Club members: booking is now open.
 
Space is intentionally limited, so if this sounds like your kind of Friday night, head to our website to grab your spot.
 
We’d love to have you there.

We are getting close! The grapes have turned color, called veraison, and it was time to head out into the vineyard to see how ripe things are getting. Looks like we’ve got a couple more weeks and we should start harvest!

We really like what happens when good local people bring their talent to the vineyard.
 
We’ll be sharing the full details very soon, but for now, consider this your first heads-up.
 
September 18th.
 
A little wine.
A bit of live music.
And a lot of very good dumplings.
 
It’s pretty hard to argue with that combination.
 
Save the date!

We’re not rushing into fall just yet.
 
Not while the afternoons still stretch out.
 
Not while there’s still shade to sit in, wine to pour, and enough warmth left to convince yourself you’ll only stay for one glass.
 
A little softer. A little slower. The vineyard is still full of life and our tables are still outside. Linger a bit longer in the evening, especially under that late-summer sunshine.
 
If you’ve been meaning to come out, this is a great moment for it.
 
No big occasion required.
 
Just an afternoon, a glass, and somewhere nice to sit.

A good Saturday shouldn’t require this much planning.

You know the version we mean.

Book somewhere three weeks ahead. Plan the route. Work out where you’re eating. Decide who’s driving. Somehow we manage to turn “let’s go taste some wine” into a whole ordeal.

We don’t think it has to be like that.

For a lot of the people who visit us, we’re around 15 minutes from their home.

You can come for a full tasting.
You can come and have a glass.
You can open a bottle and sit under tree for as long as you like.

There’s no rule saying a winery visit has to take over your entire day.

Sometimes it can just be a really good Saturday afternoon in someone’s backyard, with the vineyard a few feet away and nowhere else you particularly need to be.

That’s more our style.

If you’ve been meaning to visit, this weekend is as good a reason as any.

Three wines for the part of summer we’re not ready to give up yet.

August has its own kind of drinking rules.

Something very cold, for when the afternoon is still properly hot.

Rosé somewhere outside, preferably with nowhere else you need to be.

And red wine, yes. But give it a little time in the fridge first.

If we were writing our August wine list, these would be on it.

Sauvignon Blanc for the heat.
Rosé for the back porch.
Pommard, slightly chilled, for anyone who refuses to abandon red wine just because it’s August.

That last one is for Wine Club members only.

Three very different wines.

All three make a pretty convincing argument for staying in summer a little longer.

Which one are you reaching for first?

We spend a lot of August looking at grapes. Probably more than is socially reasonable.

You start noticing tiny things. The way one cluster is changing color faster than the row beside it. Do the vines look happy? Which ones make Doug stop walking and stare at them for a little longer than anyone else would.

And the funny thing is, while we’re doing all of that, there might be someone sitting a few feet away with a glass of wine from this very vineyard.

That still gets us.

The wine in your glass didn’t come from somewhere abstract called “wine country.”

It grew here.

On the same land you walked through to get to the backyard. On the vines you can see from your chair. And while you’re drinking one vintage, the next one is right there getting on with it.

That’s one of our favorite things about having the tasting room at home.

You don’t just get to taste the wine.

You get to sit right in the middle of where it begins.

Come see it for yourself.

This weekend could be one you just can’t stop telling people about.

Or it could be another one that disappeared 💔

You know the second kind. The one that starts with good intentions and ends with a load of laundry and three hours of something on TV that you weren’t really paying attention to.

The one where Monday rolls around again and you can’t quite remember what you did over the weekend when someone asks you.

For a lot of people who find their way to us, it starts with a 15-minute drive they almost didn’t make. That’s all it takes.

Then there’s the backyard they weren’t expecting.

A glass of something great, poured by the people who grew it.

Stay for one, stay for a bottle. Whatever you need. We’re open Saturday and Sunday.

Comment VISIT and we’ll send you everything you need to know before you arrive.
