Fine Wines to Experience The Art of Living. A flâneur is, quite simply, a leisurely wanderer, a worldly explorer, a connoisseur of life. The term, originating in 19th-century France, embodies the philosophy that the mind thrives at a slower pace, where curiosity leads to a life of significance. Founded in 2013, Flâneur Wines was created to reflect this philosophy, inviting those curious about both life and wine to experience the finest of Willamette Valley terroir with us. From our estate vineyards in the Chehalem Mountains and Ribbon Ridge AVAs to our historic hospitality spaced housed in a restored grain elevator in Carlton, we invite our guests to come experience the gracious, unhurried life of the flâneur.

MORE ABOUT FLANEUR WINES: Since 2013, Flâneur Wines has crafted exceptional wines from their two estate vineyards in the Willamette Valley: La Belle Promenade (Chehalem Mountains AVA) and Flânerie Vineyard (Ribbon Ridge AVA). Winemaker Anthony Sereni creates an award-winning portfolio of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Sparkling Wine, Gamay, Pinot Meunier, Aligoté, and Grüner Veltliner all organically dry farmed in-house. The name "Flâneur" captures the spirit of leisurely wanderers in 19th-century Paris, reflecting the idea that slowing down and embracing curiosity leads to a life of significance. This philosophy, inspired by Founder Marty Doerschlag, is embodied not only in the wines but also in the hospitality and curated tasting experiences at their restored Grain Elevator Tasting Room in Carlton, Oregon.
“You need to put this place on your radar to visit! The wines are very impressive and worth the visit for sure! We booked a reserve tasting and cannot rave enough! The wines are well balanced with depth and rounded with an exquisite mouth feel. The atmosphere is nostalgic, rustic in an old grain elevator! Love it! I highly recommend!”
“Beautiful setting and really wonderful tasting experience at the barn at the Belle Promenade vineyard. High quality, well-made wines in a magical setting. We can’t wait to visit again and see the vineyard throughout the seasons!”
“A group of us came in for our first time as part of a bachelorette party wine tour and we loved it! The place has such a great vibe, so many beautiful details, amazing wine, and excellent service. We all agreed we will definitely be back!”
“Flaneur’s tasting room is in a stunning refurbished barn that is both homey and elegant. The staff was super knowledgeable during our tasting, able to answer our detailed questions about the facility as well as the winery’s production process. Highly recommend adding the truffle popcorn to your tasting— you won’t regret it!”
“The folks at Flaneur are always so very welcoming. The space is warm, inviting and cozy. And the WINES ….all the wines are delicious. ♥️ One of my favorite spots in the Willamette Valley.”
