13 Willamette Valley Sparkling Wines to Try

Pinot Noir has long been the trademark of the Willamette Valley, the lush wine region about 50 miles inland from the Pacific in northwestern Oregon and southern Washington State. But, in recent years, an array of homegrown and far-flung winemakers in the Willamette have been crafting top-tier sparkling wines, too. “More than 100 wineries now produce sparkling here, some to great acclaim,” writes Betsy Andrews in the September/October 2025 issue of Imbibe. High-profile investments range from the Champagne house Bollinger and the Portland TrailBlazers’ CJ McCollum, among other developments. “All that, plus the work of some visionaries who set up the proper infrastructure here, and you have the makings of the top sparkling-wine region in the Americas.”

The world-class bubbles coming out of the Willamette span complex vintage sparklers built for aging, fruit-forward rosés, and surprisingly affordable wines that can turn any day into a celebration. Here are 13 bottles to try.

Adelsheim Brut Cuvée 2019

These creamy, zesty bubbles are made in the Champagne-style traditional method and hail from a 1971 estate. Each sip “starts round and easy with cherries and apples and finishes with a squeeze of lemon peel,” according to Andrews. $43.40, saratogawine.com 

Argyle Vintage Brut 2019

A vibrant blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier grapes from the volcanic Dundee and Eola-Amity Hills give this wine an array of flavors and textures. Expect citrus, floral, mineral, and earthy notes, plus a long, elegant finish. $24.97, plummarket.com

Corollary Cuvée One 2021

Corollary is exclusively devoted to sparkling winemaking, and its team farms what some critics consider to be the best vineyards in the Willamette Valley. The 2021 Cuvée blends 64 percent Chardonnay and 23 percent Pinot Noir, with Pinot Meunier and Blanc making up the balance. The results are dynamic. “With a lush, Pinot-driven mid-palate that finishes in pith and pineapple, Corollary’s 2021 Cuvée One is a lot of wine for $50,” Andrews writes. $49.95, northwest-wine.com

Elk Cove Mount Richmond Brut 2020

From one of Oregon’s oldest wineries—and the first in the Yamhill-Carlton AVA—comes this textured sparkler made from equal-parts Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Its baked apple flavors and creamy consistency wrap up in what Andrews describes as “a bristling finish.” $70, elkcove.com

Flâneur Wines Extra Brut 2019 

“A lively dance of yeast and berries wrapped up in piquant pineapple” headlines this blend of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Pinot Meunier, according to Andrews. The winery operates two vineyards: one in the Ribbon Ridge AVA that’s been planted to Pinot Noir since 2003; and the higher-elevation (up to 820 feet) La Belle Promenade Vineyard in the Chehalem Mountains AVA. $64, rhcselections.com

Gran Moraine Winery Brut Rosé NV

This traditional method, single-vineyard sparkling rosé from a certified-sustainable winery has “lip-smacking tartness and loads of red currant on the mid-palate,” according to Andrews. It’s gastronomic enough to pair with everything from shellfish to roast poultry to root vegetables, but still light enough to drink on its own during cocktail hour. $60, granmoraine.com

Granville Wine Co. 2022 Basalt Sparkling 

Made with fruit from organically farmed, high-elevation vineyards in the Dundee and Eola-Amity Hills, this savory sparkler spends two years en tirage. The results are round and ribboned through with minerally tension, plus bright lemon, green apple, and pear flavors. $50, cascadiawinestore.com

Lundeen Willamette Valley Brut

“About 10 percent reserve Chardonnay blended with a Pinot Noir base, Lundeen’s Willamette Valley Brut evokes a classic NV Champagne, with more of an orchard-fruit character than the high-toned citrus of other bruts here,” Andrews writes. The gently priced, traditional-method bottling is the winery’s flagship. $45, lundeenwines.com

Lytle-Barnett Brut 2017

A blend of 70 percent Pinot Noir and 30 percent Chardonnay, this sophisticated wine ages for more than three years before release, giving it nuanced flavors and structure; Andrews calls it “textural and meaty.” There are floral, orchard and stone fruit, and lemon-brioche notes, appealing salinity, and a delicately frothy mousse. $75, atthejoy.com

Rex Hill Grand Cuvée 2018

A Certified B Corporation, Rex Hill has been making Willamette Pinot Noir for more than 40 years. Its 2018 Grand Cuvée, which is simultaneously juicy and mouthwateringly briny, blends together “taut, phenolic Chardonnay from the Chehalem Mountains with Pinot Noir from the Dundee Hills, whose volcanic Jory soil lends a generous depth of fruit,” Andrews reports. $60, rexhill.com

ROCO Delayed Disgorgement Brut 2014

This barrel-aged blend of two-thirds Pinot Noir and one-third Chardonnay grapes has had time to come into its own. “Fermented in neutral barrels and left 10 years en tirage, ROCO’s 2014 Delayed Disgorgement Brut unfolds opulent waves of flavor: lemon crème brûlée, raspberries, pear skin,” Andrews writes. $110, shop.rocowinery.com

Soter Vineyards Brut Rosé 2019

Made from 81 percent Pinot Noir and 19 percent Chardonnay, these rosé bubbles from a certified-biodynamic vineyard are elegant and lively. The raspberry, peach, and cherry notes are offset by nutty, brioche, and minerally flavors, plus a dash of salinity. $85.99, esquin.com

Willamette Valley Vineyards Domaine Willamette Brut Rosé 2021

Made from a blend of estate-grown Pinot Noir clones, this brut rosé possesses a strong aroma of wild strawberries. Bright and equally at home at the dinner table or as an aperitif, the traditional-method wine has lively effervescence and long, citrusy finish. $80, wmv.com
