If you’re interested in a winery that combines the passion for art with its wines, Saffron Fields Vineyards in Yamhill, Oregon, is the place to go.
A unique experience in the wine country of Willamette Valley, Oregon, Saffron Fields Vineyards has everything to inspire your own creativity. The tasting room itself is architecturally remarkable, much of it constructed of reclaimed wood from the mid-20th century Tillamook Burn, one of Oregon’s largest-ever wildfires. The room shares the space with an art gallery of the owner’s personal collection. Take the wine tasting outside to enjoy a firepit with an up-close view of the surrounding koi pond. The grounds feature a Japanese garden designed by world-renowned designer Hoichi Kurisu whose artisanal crafting reflects the winery’s own philosophy of creating unity with your surroundings.
