Flâneur Wines — Attraction in Carlton

A Gem in Carlton: Flaneur Winery

From the moment you step into Flaneur Winery's tasting room in Carlton, Oregon, you're not just entering a winery; you're embarking on a multifaceted wine experience that transcends the ordinary. As a wine club member for over a year, I've had the pleasure of witnessing first-hand the unique offerings that set Flaneur apart in the rich tapestry of Willamette Valley's wine scene.

Flaneur doesn't just serve wine; they curate experiences. From the carefully crafted wine maker's dinners that showcase the versatility and depth of their vintages, to the engaging and unexpected events like Taro Card readings, there's always something new and exciting to look forward to. These gatherings are not just about wine; they're about building community, sharing stories, and creating unforgettable moments.

The heart and soul of Flaneur, however, is its people. The staff's passion for wine and genuine hospitality is palpable, with Mindy herself leading by example. Always positive and upbeat, Mindy ensures every visit is memorable, even during the quieter seasons when the valley slows down. This level of personal touch and warmth makes Flaneur not just a winery, but a home away from home for wine lovers.

The wines themselves are exceptional, embodying the richness and diversity of Oregon's terroir. Each bottle tells a story of meticulous craftsmanship and a deep respect for nature, qualities that resonate deeply with those who appreciate fine wine. It's this unwavering commitment to quality that makes Flaneur not only one of my top-rated wineries but also a frequent recommendation to my clients.

In conclusion, Flaneur Winery is more than just a destination; it's an experience, a community, and a testament to the beauty of Oregon wine. Whether you're a seasoned oenophile or new to the world of wine, Flaneur welcomes you with open arms and a glass ready to be filled with something truly special. I wholeheartedly recommend a visit to anyone seeking to explore the best that Willamette Valley has to...

I visit Oregon and the Willamette Valley often, and the Flâneur Grain Elevator Tasting Room has become my absolute “not-to-be-missed” stop whenever I’m in the area. It’s easily a family favorite, and for good reason: The wine is phenomenal, the space is stunning, and the ambiance is so inviting you’ll want to stay for hours.

The community vibe at Flâneur is something truly special. The staff are not only incredibly welcoming and warm but also super knowledgeable. You can tell they genuinely love what they do, and it creates an atmosphere that feels more like family than just a tasting room. From the laid-back, gregarious energy to the unique layout of the space, it’s a standout experience in the Willamette Valley.

And, of course, then there’s the wine! Flâneur’s Chardonnay is an all-time favorite of mine, but I’ve also fallen in love with the La Belle Promenade Pinot Meunier and the Extra Brut Sparkling (AMAZING!) Every wine they produce is exceptional, and you can trust the staff to guide you to something...

I can't say enough to say how impressed I am with Flaneur Wines. The creative spirit as witness by renovation and use of the historic Carton grain elevator as the tasting area and event center sets the stage for an experience hard to match. The staff is very knowledgeable and the hospitality is among the best among the Oregon wineries. As one who has been collecting wines for over 50 years, I have been fortunate to acquire wines from wineries before they were well know including wines from the Willamette valley going back to the 1970's. The wines of Flaneur are, without question, ones I will continue to add to my wine cellar. The 2017 La Belle Promenade Pinot Noir is an especially impressive wine, silky smooth, with complex, long lingering aroma and flavors, so satisfying and reminiscent of classic red burgundies. One can see why so many French wine houses are now establishing vineyards and wineries in the Willamette Valley. They see the potential when tasting...
