Abbey Road Farm • Carlton, Oregon
There are 80+ grape varieties in Oregon. Only one is Pinot Noir. What about the rest?
Alt Wine Fest brings you the flip side of Oregon wine—pioneering winemakers who relish the diversity of grapes found here, producing original wines that make Oregon one of the most exciting wine regions in the country.
Join us for our fourth year (get tickets before it sells out!), where you can enjoy 34 winemakers, over 100 wines, and dozens and dozens of grape varieties all under one roof! From beloved classics (Gamay and Chardonnay) to eclectic and elusive gems (Garanoir and Huxelrebe), you never know what wonders you’ll discover.
One thing is sure—there’s not a single Pinot Noir in sight.
Ready to schmooze with boundary-defying winemakers, indulge in low-key party vibes, and immerse yourself in a truly alternative wine experience you won’t find anywhere else?

What makes Alt Wine Fest different?
🤘
Over fifty different varieties all under one roof.
There are over 80+ grape varieties grown in Oregon. Each year Alt Wine Fest averages 50-60 different of those varieties under one roof — a selection you won’t find anywhere else. While you’ll find familiar Oregon-style favorites such as Sauvignon Blanc, Tempranillo, and Gamay, you’ll also discover super-rare varieties like Garanoir, Ehrenfelsner, Kerner, and Sagrantino. Each year there are new surprises.
🤘
We focus on small-production winemakers and those who have paved alternative paths.
You’ll find a mix of established wineries who have long championed Oregon’s alt wines alongside newer producers. Much of the alt-wine wine scene happens on the fringes, so many of our winemakers are small-production, perhaps even micro-wineries who don’t have tasting rooms. There are probably some you’ve never heard of. And they are super excited to share their wines with you!
🤘
Wines you’ll have a hard time finding IRL.
Lots of these small-production wineries don’t have tasting rooms, and even those that do might not be pulling out their super-limited Garanoir for you to taste on the daily. In fact, winemakers will often put aside their few cases of of something special or rare just for Alt Wine Fest—so you really will only find those wines here.
🤘
Connect with the winemakers pouring their wines.
You won’t get salesy scripts or cold technical jargon from distant winery representatives. Instead, the passionate people behind the wines will be pouring and are excited to share their stories with you! They always tell us you are their favorite crowd to pour for—no joke.
(Get tickets to VIP hour for more one-on-one time with winemakers.)
🤘
No stuffiness or schmoozy vibes.
We believe you can geek out on wine and not take yourself too seriously. We keep our vibe casual and fun, distinctly anti-pretentious, and even a bit irreverent. The welcoming and friendly attitude of the Alt Wine Fest community contrasts with the stereotypical snobbiness of many wine events. It’s great for both wine enthusiasts and noobs alike.
🤘
No obnoxious crowds (so you won’t be packed in like sardines).
We limit ticket sales, so though lively and energetic, you can still have a comfortable experience with time to sample the wines, talk to the winemakers, and enjoy the Alt Wine Fest experience at your leisure.
