Wineries & Wine Tours

Monmouth is surrounded by some of the best wineries in the state. It is easy to make MaMere’s Guest House your home base as you explore nearby wineries or even venture out and enjoy a scenic drive while you sip wine further north, south, east and west. We have some of our favorites within 20 minutes of the B&B that we are happy to recommend. See list below, in alphabetical order. Make sure you call ahead, as many are currently requiring reservations.

Interested in going on a wine tour and letting someone else do all the work, while you get to have all the fun? We highly recommend joining Crush Wine Bar & Tours for one of their joinable Willamette Valley Wine tour or setting up a private tour. Their joinable tours include 3 winery stops and 1 food/treat stop along the way. John, Crush owner, is knowledgeable, fun and will set up all the tastings ahead of time so you are guaranteed a tasting. To book a seat, reserve directly through the Crush Wine Bar & Tours website. They can even pick you up at MaMere’s!

Beer and Cider

Prefer beer? Have no fear! Parallel 45 Brewing is an independent craft brewery located in Independence, 10 minutes away from MaMere’s.

Gilgamesh Brewing also serves up pizza and pints and is only a 5-minute drive from the B&B.

Cider more your style? Then Salt Creek Cider is where you want to head. Bring a picnic and play on the grounds or schedule your visit when a yummy food truck is on site.

Many of these locations also have music and other fun events year around.
