Visit Nicolas-Jay Estate
By Appointment
11905 NE Dudley Road, Newberg Oregon 97132
Nicolas-Jay Estate is one of the premier wineries in the Willamette Valley, with an inviting tasting room for wine connoisseurs and novices alike. Built into the hillside of Oregon’s wine country, the facility allows gravity flow during harvest, and a twelve-person sorting line for the meticulous sorting of fruit that Jean-Nicolas has employed as winemaker at Domaine Méo-Camuzet. Two separate temperature controlled barrel rooms allow for overvintaging of wine and proper elevage year-round. Our indoor tasting room and outdoor patio invites groups to understand our award-winning wines and vintages, and the people and places that made them.
All tastings experiences are by reservation only.
For inquiries, call 971-412-1124 or email us.

Testimonials
- “This will easily be the best experience you have in Oregon wine country.” – Marissa Ooyevarr, A Blonde Vintage
- “We left not only with some amazing bottles but also with a newfound appreciation for the craft. We’re so grateful for the warm hospitality and can’t wait to continue our journey as members. Highly recommend this gem to anyone looking to experience the best of Oregon wine!” -Anna H.
- “If you haven’t had the luxury to do a tasting at Nicolas-Jay you are missing out. I have yet to come across a wine here that isn’t a feast for the senses. My 2nd visit I had to join the membership and I don’t regret it one bit. Every visit is better than the last and it’s not often you find a winery where you literally LOVE everything. Not only are their wines amazing, but their service is impeccable. The staff makes you feel welcome and provides an individualized experience without any hints of pretentious undertones.” – Krista T.
