How does a glass of wine paired with some breathtaking fall views sound? We’re popping the cork on a handful of wineries near Portland where you can sip and savor some primo vino and watch the grape vines turn golden.

Purple Hands, 10555 NE Red Hills Rd., Dundee

The atmosphere: There are two tasting rooms to choose from; the Haakon/Lenai location is intimate and modern, overlooking 35 acres of pinot noir, chardonnay, pinot gris, and pinot blanc grapes.
Why you should go: You can taste and buy wines that are made and sold exclusively at the Haakon/Lenai vineyard.

Alloro Vineyards, 22185 SW Lebeau Rd., Sherwood

The atmosphere: The iconic cypress trees and stone buildings on this 100-acre farm will make you feel like you teleported into Tuscany, complete with pastoral views of rolling hills and flocks of sheep.
Why you should go: High-quality wine, professional and warm staff, and a stunning visual experience — all less than 20 miles outside of downtown Portland — make this vineyard a must-visit.

Villa Catalana Cellars, 11900 S. Criteser Rd., Oregon City

The atmosphere: Ethereal grounds and Romanesque architecture combine to create a fairy tale setting. The scene is anchored by a chateau-like building inspired by a 12th-century church in Catalonia, Spain.
Why you should go: Instagram. But also because it produces small-batch wines.
