Guest Winemaker at Rain Dance

We are honored to be a “Guest Winery” at one of our favorite places - Rain Dance Vineyards in Newberg. Rain Dance is known for highly acclaimed Pinots, Rieslings and more. We’re a little biased because their Grand Oak Vineyard was once part of our Nicholas Estate Vineyard - so of course the wines are amazing! Tastings are held Thursday-Monday from 11 AM to 5 PM, with a final seating at 4 PM. The lovely, peaceful setting is just steps away from The Allison Inn and Spa and overlooks their first estate vineyard in the heart of Newberg. While reservations strongly suggested here, Walk-ins will be taken if space and staff are available.

First tastings are complimentary for Anam Cara Wine Club Members (four per membership) for the month of April.

to Jul 2

Artist and Winemaker Eric Hemmer of Vined is featured.

Eric Hemmer a self-proclaimed Technologist, Gardener, Nature & Animal Lover, Winemaker and Artist shares his photography at our tasting room gallery for the month of July.

“We work in multiple mediums: Photography, Stained Glass, Barrel Art and we can’t say that any particular one is our favorite – we love them all in addition to others.

 We believe that art in many forms – whether it be visual or music, even food and wine – is more than something you see, hear or taste but can instead be something that speaks to you.  It may spark a memory or emotion, both happiness and sorrow.  It can even transport you to another location or experience.

 We are excited to be given this opportunity to share a selection of our own original work for your enjoyment. Our art is deeply personally and meaningful to both of us - we hope that something you see here also speaks to you.” -- Eric & Colleen Hemmer”

The gallery is free to view and open during our normal tasting room hours.

We first hosted "PROJECT M" back in 2018 when they were brand new on the wine scene and headed for greatness. It’s a real pleasure to see just how far their wines have taken them and the great following they’ve created.

"PROJECT M" is the vision of owners Jerry and Meg Murray.  That vision has been clarified and refined over their combined 40 years of professional experience in winemaking, marketing and sales.

At PROJECT M, Meg and Jerry believe: Wines made with intention are not "objects" but experiences.  Those experiences add to the quality of our lives.  That such lives create a better world.

Join us to taste and acquire these wines! One tasting fee includes wines from Project M as well as Anam Cara.

"Birds" an Artist's Impression: Exhibit by Rob Ramage

We first met Rob at the Yamhill County Studio Open House in the Fall when we were fortunate enough to host him and enjoy his work. So it is with special joy that we welcome him back with an exhibition close to his heart - birds. As Rob says: “Birds have always been special to me, as well as my father who was a watercolor artist. I have somewhat of a body of work containing birds and continuing to build it for this show. Expect to see birds in a variety of habitats and attitudes. This is not an orthological pursuit of documentation but an artist having fun with subjects he likes.”
