Domaine Serene's Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and woolly mammoth

When you arrive at the entrance to Oregon's Domaine Serene the beautiful setting, the estate vineyard and the Tuscan villa-style winery will immediately get your attention. If the scenic vista does not get your attention then the wines sure will. Domaine Serene is home to award winning wines. Critics, such as Wine Spectator and Wine Advocate, regularly award scores of 90-plus to Domaine Serene wines. In an area known for its Pinot Noir Domaine Serene is considered to be producing some of the area's top Pinot Noir. They also known for their Chardonnay. During an August visit to Dundee Hills wineries we dropped by Domaine Serene.

Most visitors to Domaine Serene will notice a woolly mammoth sculpture, made of weathered steel with bronze tusks. While there are rumors about how the sculpture arrived, there is no mistake about the wines and the overall ambiance of this winery. Domaine Serene's estate vineyard, stunning winery and great wines will definitely get your attention. Enjoy the grandeur of Domaine Serene but do not forget to spend some time with the woolly mammoth.

The winery is located in the Dundee Hills, a sub-appellation in the Willamette Valley. The Dundee Hills is home to a number of well known Oregon wineries. While in Willamette Valley Wine Country do not forget to check out wineries in other areas as well. Here is a list of Willamette Valley wineries. The Oregon Wine Board provides a list of Oregon wine regions.  We invite you to join us in our travels in Oregon and elsewhere in search of the best in Spaswinefood
