Chris James Cellars is a family owned and operated vineyard and winery that produces unique and interesting wines in Carlton, Oregon. We produced our first wines in 2015 and have since grown to offer a wide selection of whites, reds and sparkling wines. Our approach to white wines is to emphasize and preserve the varietal aromatics, flavor and acidity. In red wines we seek to develop intense flavors through harvest decisions and winemaking techniques during fermentation and focus on mouthfeel and silky texture during maturation. The tasting room is open Friday through Sunday, 12pm-5pm (February through November) and by appointment. The tasting room is tended by the cellar staff who are responsible for making the wines and can offer personalized winery and vineyard tours tailored to your interests. The tasting room is available for private events.

The Carlton Winemakers Studio is an elite Oregon winemaking facility with more than 15 years of history as a home and launch pad for some of the most groundbreaking wines from the Pacific Northwest. It was the vision of its founding partners to provide a location for high quality winemaking in an efficient, economical and highly collaborative environment. So, in the heart of the Willamette Valley in 2002, they opened the Northwest’s first alternating proprietorship and first winery built to LEED standards. With top of the line equipment and a talented full-time staff, The Carlton Winemakers Studio allows artisan winemakers to focus solely on their craft. This has attracted an array of pioneering Oregon winemakers and new winemaking talent through its cellar over the years. Thus, the studio’s tasting room is always filled with an eclectic selection of Oregon and Washington wines in an array of styles from some of the wine world’s most exciting talent.
