About Ken Wright Cellars
Ken Wright Cellars is one of the founding names of Oregon Pinot Noir, established by Ken Wright, the winemaker widely credited with championing single-vineyard bottlings and helping define the Yamhill-Carlton AVA. The winery produces a celebrated lineup of site-specific Pinot Noirs drawn from vineyards across the northern Willamette Valley.
The tasting room occupies Carlton's beautifully restored historic train depot, where guided tastings walk visitors through the distinct personalities of each vineyard site. For anyone serious about understanding Oregon terroir, this is an essential stop and a masterclass in how soil and site shape Pinot Noir.
