Located in the charming downtown of Newberg, the Chahalem Winery Tasting Room is situated inside of a brick building that used to be an auto mechanic shop, now turned into a hip, open air space. Great atmosphere, and we were told that they used to hold a variety of events in pre-covid times. We had a chilly tasting outdoors under a tent. I brought my own blanket, so we stayed warm enough on an icy grey winter day. The wine host was knowledgeable and very welcoming and friendly. The wines were of high quality and complexity.
