Book a Tasting – Tendril Cellars

Tendril Cellars

130 West Monroe Street Carlton Oregon 97111 US

Tendril is open by appointment only. The winery is home to one of the region’s only seated winemaker-led tastings personally presented by Tony Rynders or Ben Friesen. During this personalized experience, you will enjoy Tendril’s five courses of Pinot Noir plus Chardonnay, plus some unique offerings from Child’s Play, Tendril’s playful younger sister wines.

If you’re lucky you may even get to pet Badger!

To reserve, contact Tony at [email protected] or 503-858-4524.

Our vision is “slow wine.” Everything we do is towards the best possible wines and it simply takes more time: continual interaction with vineyard, adaptive winemaking, separate small-lot fermentations, and longer aging. It is an process rather than a production, and not always successful.

We offer three different options for our wine club family, named for three of our wines: Extrovert, TightRope and C~Note.

Join Our Club

Tendril Wine Cellars offers intimate tasting experiences by appointment only. Our seated tastings are always led by one of our winemakers— they are an in-depth experience for all your senses tasting at minimum six wines.

We’re happy to hear that you’re interested in purchasing our wine. We ship to adults in most U.S. states. Please select a wine to add it to your cart.

We love visitors, although it’s always best to book ahead as our winemaker-led tastings require some preparation.

We don’t like policies as much as the next person— a handshake is bond enough in many cases. But this makes our lawyer happy because it keeps us in business, focused on the business of making wine.

We are opening for tastings May 15th!

At long last we are opening the doors to our new tasting room & winery in Carlton! We have several areas inside and outdoors to host you safely and spaciously. To ensure the safety of our guests and staff we will be operating with the following protocols:

We will be open 11am-4pm Wednesday through Sunday, and Mondays of major holiday weekends (including Memorial Day). If you would like to visit on a Monday or Tuesday, please contact us a few days in advance and we may be able to accommodate you.
Reservations highly recommended. To ensure we can accommodate you please give us a call at (503) 858-4524 or email us at [email protected].
Even if you’re down the street, please give us a call before coming – we may be able to host you at the last minute. For everyone’s safety we discourage guests from showing up at the door without speaking with us first.
We cannot host groups larger than 8.
If more than one group is visiting, each group will have its own seating area. We ask that guests respect a 6 foot minimum distance between groups. We will politely manage to keep distance between groups.
Our staff takes cleanliness seriously. We will follow hand washing protocols and will be disinfecting high-touch surfaces between guests.
Winery staff will wear masks. Trust us – we’ll still be smiling behind them.
