Going to a winery can be a unique experience; many find it a luxurious trip. In most cases, however, you must find a babysitter because you can’t bring your family. Now that’s changed! There are plenty of kid-friendly wineries in Oregon, and we’ve got a list of the ones you will want to take advantage of. While most don’t have playgrounds or things your children can play with, some do, and all have areas your kids will like. So, let’s find out which winery you’ll be visiting next.
While you can bring children here, you should know that there is no children’s menu. However, they can dine on popcorn and snacks. There are also plenty of non-alcoholic beverages available. Brooks recommends that you also call ahead and book an outdoor table for visits that include children. There is far less glassware, and you get more space. It can also be more enjoyable because you get away from the noise of the other tables.
They have games such as ladder golf and cornhole, so you’ll be sure to have a lot of fun. One last tip is that you must also reserve a seat for your child. Not just the adults in your group.
This winery is owned and operated by the family. They aim to make exceptional wines, and they care about the environment along with that. The King Estate Winery uses sustainable methods and organic ingredients to give you the best options for adults to enjoy their time at the winery. There are plenty of areas for your children to play in the open fields, and you’ll be able to relax and watch the entire time.
This is one of the wineries on the list with fewer areas for your family if you bring children, but it does have a few.
Not only is this kid-friendly, but everyone is welcoming and kind. The area is beautiful with lush greenery, and your children can play tag, enjoy the on-site playground, and play with something I’m sure we all wanted as children—a tire swing! Your children will have a fantastic time here because the family has taken the time to think about what families would enjoy.
They offer a plethora of drinks for adults, including Pinot Noir. They have been in business for over thirty years and ranked as the best tasting room six years in a row. In addition, they say that this winery boasts excellent working conditions, so you’re supporting a business that treats its workers well.
This is a winery that makes you feel like you’re in the heart of the country. It’s peaceful, and the sites are incredible. The children love taking walks in the garden and cypress trees, and they also have a dog that likes to play with children. In addition to this, the farm area offers gardens, orchards, and nut trees. They have grass-fed beef and lamb, which makes the menu diverse and tasty.
Among their most popular wines are the Estate Pinot Noir, the Primavera Chardonnay, and the Riesling.
Beacon Hill encourages families to bring activities for their children. They ask that you keep whatever activities you bring confined to your area. You can also get a pet, but they must be on a leash. Another tip they have is to dress appropriately. Like others on this list, they offer a wide variety of options. They also have gifts that would make any wine lover happy.
It’s recommended that you call ahead, but you’ll need a reservation for a party of eight or more. They also ask that you call ahead about their food policy if you have any food issues.
Additional Tips That Will Help
Like anything, you should get to the location early. This helps with less crowds and lets your children get the nap they need. You’ll also need to watch your little ones; it never hurts to call ahead. Sometimes, locations change the rules, and it’s a good idea to know that before you drive. I’d also ensure you have plenty of snacks and entertainment for your family. It will cut down on them getting upset and cranky.
Above all, don’t get drunk. Most people think the wine won’t hit them hard, but it can because everyone is different. Our best advice is to be careful. They are okay with you skipping samples and just tasting what you like.
