The vintage photographs, golden Douglas fir interiors and wall of antique farm tools (an ode to the agricultural history of the area) radiate modern farmhouse charm. But as you walk around the recently opened Grange Estate at Dundee Hills, there’s also a luxe wine country aesthetic from the open kitchen with sea-green Moroccan clay tiles to the sumptuous leather couches and backlit bookshelves.

Set in the heart of the Willamette Valley’s famed Dundee Hills, this new retreat is the sister property to the neighboring and beloved Black Walnut Inn. The nine-room property is packed with treasures that celebrate the spirit of place, from historic maps and artisan furnishings to local crafts like an eye-catching Oregon flag tapestry that was hand-woven by Kush Rugs.

You can soak up vineyard views from most windows—or settle into an Adirondack chair on the rambling veranda. Even better, you can reserve an exquisite wine-paired dinner that’s just steps away at Anthology, one of wine country’s latest culinary hubs where executive chef Chase Williams turns locally farmed and foraged ingredients into plates you dream about.

ROOMS

Each of Grange Estate’s nine rooms embraces modern farmhouse vibes with bespoke antiques, artwork and furnishings sourced from local artisans like Joel Wakeman. Many rooms have fireplaces and stylish seating areas overlooking the estate vineyards. You’ll also find luxe bedding, Grown Alchemist toiletries, spa bathrooms and sensational soaking tubs in the premium one-bedroom suites (the Jory and Laurelwood).

FEATURES

Catch sunset on the graceful verandah with vineyard views or unwind with yoga in the property’s compact wellness studio. Find compelling reads in the micro-library’s collection of books that cover regional storytelling and Indigenous history, meditations on work and leisure, along with texts on food, nature, foraging, gardening and homesteading. Zoom in for a shelfie of the cool wallpaper—it’s composed of family letters and correspondence from the last century.

FARMHOUSE BREAKFASTS

Start your morning with one of the most sublime breakfasts in wine country. Recent options included oatmeal jazzed up with candied filberts and rum-soaked raisins and summer skillet (crispy potatoes, mushrooms, garden pesto, seasonal veggies, sunny-side up eggs). On the sweeter side, try a stack of buttermilk pancakes heaped with blackberry coulis, house-made buttermilk biscuits or sweet cream scones.

DINING AT ANTHOLOGY

Head next door to The Four Graces’ new tasting room for culinary magic from James Beard Award-nominated executive chef Chase Williams. In addition to daily wine tastings, there’s a reservation-only Anthology experience at the fourteen-seat open kitchen overlooking the Dundee Hills. The chef’s seasonal menu resembles chapters in a book with a table of contents, culinary sketches and personal stories. Anticipate about eight wine-paired dishes from petit Dungeness crab latkes and wild mushroom soup to an umami-packed tomato confit.
