Open: Year-round

Marks Ridge would appear to be Oregon's newest winery. At least for the moment. Having christened their tasting room during the first week of December 2008, owners Jay and Janet Westly are up and running.

The couple call themselves "accidental vintners." They operated a small millwork and cabinetry business in Southern California for 30 years before coming to Oregon. Finally, after the kid was grown, they decided to make a total lifestyle change.
