I have to say that if there was an amazing bucolic place to “settle down,” the landscape that is King’s Estate is a little bit of paradise. My uncle and I were blessed with a sunny Oregon day, which displayed green as far as the eye could see and the facility of the winery looked like a French country castle. Equally beautiful inside was the tasting room, located just inside the main entrance, in a vaulted ceiling room, covered in wood finished walls. You couldn’t ask for a better place to taste wine, unless you stepped outside and see the amazing view, wine tasting goes good with that too. It’s definitely a wonderful location for weddings, 
corporate parties, or just a day trip to restore your soul from the daily grind (“my case” scenario). I was able to taste a number of their white wines and six different King’s Estate pinot noirs; all very focused wines in their structure, well executed and worth tasting again and again. Unfortunately I didn’t have the time to try the heavier reds; perhaps my next visit will yield a more extended tasting. I did get to experience the free tour of their state of the art wine making facility. Part of the tour involved walking into the temperate coolness of the barrel room, and when entered, gave off an air of wine infused French oak. I inhaled deeply, an uncontrollable reflex, I had to have more of that sensual aroma like no other. Later I had lunch at the restaurant, a nice touch to the property and also, a great way to pair lovely wines with other Oregon offerings from organically grown estate gardens. I only wish I could have spent the day here, tasting all the wines and having both lunch and dinner. Next time… If you’re in the Eugene area, make King’s Estate one of your stops, you’ll be glad you did, and perhaps stop by again. Check out their amazing website for a virtual tour.
