The Argyle Story: Oregon’s Sparkling Wine Pioneers

Founded in 1987, Argyle Winery has been at the forefront of Oregon’s wine revolution for nearly four decades. As one of the first wineries to prove that world-class sparkling wine could be made in America, Argyle helped put Willamette Valley on the global wine map.

Today, Argyle is recognized internationally for both their méthode champenoise sparkling wines and their exceptional Pinot Noir. Their vineyards span some of the most prestigious sites in the Willamette Valley, including the legendary Knudsen and Lone Star vineyards.

What sets Argyle apart is their unwavering commitment to quality over quantity. Every wine in their portfolio reflects the cool-climate elegance that makes Oregon wines so distinctive—bright acidity, precise fruit expression, and the kind of balance that keeps you coming back for another glass.

This tasting offers a rare opportunity to experience the full breadth of Argyle’s craftsmanship in one evening, guided by an expert who knows these wines intimately.
