Rare Plant Research - Oregon City

We stopped on the way to oregon and this place was beautiful and soo relaxing. it was a labor day, and it was not crowded. I'm glad it wasn't ha! They had chairs distributed over their own. it was peaceful and calm. will definitely come back;

Villa Catalana plays hard to get because it's only open 3 hours out of the week but boy was it worth the chase! I was trying to find wineries with nice views and sceneries for my recent trip to Portland and found this place which I'm glad I did! It's just about 40 minutes south of Portland so it's not far away at all. By the time we got here at 1pm on a Saturday the make shift parking lot was already full of cars. It turns out there was a wedding going on at the time but the actual winery and tasting room was pretty busy as well. It costs 10 per person for a tasting of 7 wines which I think is a really good deal. We got our first glass and hung out in the area. There are places to walk around and just chill, from a bench to overlooking the entire area to a beach chair on a wooden floor on the lake. There's even a little dragon and a cave for you to take pictures and peek your head in. After we finished one tasting we would go back to a gentleman who would refill our glasses with the next wine on the list. My favorites were the 2018 Pinot Goir, the 2018 Grenache Rose, and the 2015 Red Blend. It was a really nice way to spend a relaxing and chill couple hours on a weekend, especially when the weather was great. If I lived in the area I could see myself coming here every so often. With 10 tastings it would totally be worth it!

Stopped into Villa Catalana today and I am so glad I did. Just a stones throw outside Portland located in Oregon City , you feel like you've hopped on a plane to Europe. The scenery is lovely and there are numerous seating options available throughout the property. I ended up sitting on the pond and enjoying a picnic with a bottle of wine after a tasting. The tastings go for 10 each with 7 pours. A glass goes for 10, and most bottles are somewhere in the 20 25 range. You can bring a picnic and enjoy the scenery with your wines! It was a lovely way to spend a summer afternoon, and I highly recommend checking it out!

The plants were lovely, healthy and robust were exactly as pictured and promised. Delivery was prompt. One year later, all 12 plants that I purchased remain healthy and are growing well. I am so pleased!

This is one of the coolest, most unique wineries I've been to in Oregon. It truly feels like you are transported to Spain as you explore the beautiful grounds or sip under the abstract foliage and sunroom. Not to mention the wine was delicious and a great value. Only 10 tasting flights! Awesome place, I will definitely be back with friends and family.
