Dundee Hills · Chehalem Mountains · Ribbon Ridge
Bergström Wines Wine Tours.
Wine tours to Bergström Wines run between Portland, Oregon pickups and Ekollon, the by-appointment tasting house in the Dundee Hills at 8115 NE Worden Hill Road, Dundee, OR 97115; the winery and business office at 18215 NE Calkins Lane, Newberg, OR 97132 sit in the Chehalem Mountains AVA. The Bergström family founded the house in 1999 and Josh Bergström built its reputation on five biodynamically farmed estate vineyards across the Dundee Hills, Chehalem Mountains and Ribbon Ridge, topped by the Sigrid Chardonnay — one of Oregon's few genuine cult white wines. Wine Advocate and Vinous return 95-plus scores for Bergström's wines with steady regularity. A vetted chauffeur who knows the wine-country road network handles the drive so the guest steps out at the tasting-house door on the scheduled minute, and the vehicle holds on the property through the full appointment.

01 Bergström Wines & three AVAs
A family house built on farming,
The Estate Story.
Founded by the Bergström family in 1999, the house built its reputation under Josh Bergström on 70 acres of biodynamically farmed estate vineyard spread over three AVAs and on the Sigrid Chardonnay, one of Oregon's few genuine cult white wines. The scores follow the farming: 95-plus marks from Wine Advocate and Vinous arrive with steady regularity.
The estate map covers three AVAs: Bergström Vineyard in the Dundee Hills, Silice and Winery Block in the Chehalem Mountains, and La Spirale and Le Pré du Col on Ribbon Ridge, each farmed biodynamically and bottled on its own. The range gives the flight a geology lesson built in: Dundee Hills basalt against the marine sediments of the Chehalem Mountains and Ribbon Ridge sites, poured side by side.
1999, and Josh's Burgundy training
Founders John and Karen Bergström started the winery in 1999; their son Josh, who trained at the CFPPA in Beaune, France, took the vineyards biodynamic early. Five estate vineyards now cover 70 acres across three AVAs, starting with the 13-acre Bergström Vineyard planted in 1999 in the Dundee Hills, and farming-first remains the through-line of every pour in the tasting flight.
Five estate vineyards, three AVAs
Bergström Vineyard, the Dundee Hills site planted in 1999, sits on volcanic clay over basalt; Silice (planted 2001) and the two-acre Winery Block (planted 2002) sit on deep marine sedimentary sands in the Chehalem Mountains; La Spirale (2005) and Le Pré du Col (2006) grow on marine sediments over shale and siltstone on Ribbon Ridge. Every site is farmed biodynamically and bottled on its own, and the flight sets them side by side as a built-in geology lesson.
Tasting on Worden Hill Road
The by-appointment tasting house on Worden Hill Road in Dundee looks over the Bergström Vineyard with seated flights through the single-vineyard Pinot Noirs and the Chardonnay program. Hosts run the geology and the farming calendar through the pours, and larger formats reserve the private room upstairs.
The Calkins Lane cluster
Bergström's winery at 18215 NE Calkins Lane shares the lane with Adelsheim at 16800 NE Calkins Lane; Nicolas-Jay's estate is on NE Dudley Road, minutes apart, and Bergström's own by-appointment tasting house is on Worden Hill Road in Dundee. Beaux Frères, on Ribbon Ridge one hill to the west, is the fourth stop the chauffeur can sequence into the same booking.
Sigrid and the 95-point standard
The Sigrid Chardonnay is the house flagship — an allocation-managed white that critics score with Burgundy-grand-cru language, and one of the few Oregon Chardonnays collectors chase by name. Around it, the single-vineyard Pinot lineup posts 95-plus scores from Wine Advocate and Vinous with a regularity that has made the house a fixture of Oregon's top tier.
02 Service Standard
Vetted Chauffeurs, 35-Point Inspection,
And City Permitting.
Bergström Wines wine tour service runs on four operator standards that separate Marquee from rideshare and out-of-state operators arriving in the Dundee Hills: payroll chauffeurs, a daily 35-point vehicle inspection, Portland private-for-hire permitting held since 2018, and $1 million commercial liability on every ride to Dundee.
Chauffeurs on the Marquee payroll
Every chauffeur on a Bergström Wines tour sits on the Marquee payroll as a vetted professional rather than a 1099 gig contractor, with workers' comp on duty and the $1 million commercial liability policy on every wine-country ride. The chauffeur answers to Marquee leadership for punctuality and estate-arrival protocol at Dundee rather than a gig app's surge clock.
Wine-country-ready 35-point inspection
Every vehicle clears a 35-point inspection before the day's first tour — tires, brakes, fluids, cabin detail, climate. Attention runs higher in the wet season on the farm-road approaches around Newberg, and monthly detail keeps the cabin clean for guests heading into a seated tasting at Bergström Wines.
Full fleet across five classes
The Volvo S90 at $110 per hour covers couples; the Escalade ESV at $135 carries up to 6; the Sprinter at $165 handles groups to 14 across multi-estate circuits; the VIP Lounge Sprinter at $190 turns a celebration run to Bergström Wines into the party's first venue; the Portland Executive Limo at $190 (13 passengers) adds a rear lounge table and a refrigerated cooler, with the 20 percent service fee already inside every rate.
City permitting since 2018
Marquee has carried Portland Bureau of Transportation private-for-hire permitting since 2018 with continuous renewal. Corporate coordinators booking Bergström Wines retreats receive the permit, W-9, and insurance documentation within an hour of the first request — the compliance file procurement teams ask for before approving a wine-country vendor.
03 Tour Day Experience
The Bergström Wines
Tour Day, Sequenced.
A Bergström Wines tour day runs on four anchors from the Portland pickup to the drop back home. The tasting house pours by appointment on Worden Hill Road in Dundee, Adelsheim sits on Calkins Lane with Nicolas-Jay minutes apart on Dudley Road, and Beaux Frères is one hill west on Ribbon Ridge. Bergström plus Adelsheim is the classic pairing at 5 to 6 hours door-to-door, with lunch either at the tasting house's own At the Ekollon Table (Thursday to Sunday, parties of up to 10, reserved through the winery) or at a table in Newberg or Carlton. The full itinerary runs as one continuous booking with the chauffeur holding at each stop.
Worden Hill Road arrival
Tastings pour by appointment at the tasting house at 8115 NE Worden Hill Road, Dundee. The chauffeur drops at the tasting-house door on the reservation minute.
Single-vineyard geology flight
The flight pours the estate vineyards against each other with the biodynamic farming story threading the lineup: the Bergström Vineyard's Dundee Hills volcanic clay on basalt beside the marine sedimentary sands of Silice and Winery Block and the shale-and-siltstone marine sediments of La Spirale and Le Pré du Col. Sigrid appears when allocation allows, and it is the pour people remember.
Cluster sequencing
Adelsheim on Calkins Lane and Nicolas-Jay on Dudley Road sit minutes apart for the two- or three-stop day out of Bergström's Dundee tasting house, and Beaux Frères holds Ribbon Ridge one hill over. The chauffeur sequences reservations so no pour gets rushed.
Cellar-focused return
Buyers shipping allocations home hand the boxes to the chauffeur at the door; the cargo area holds case purchases upright and shaded.
04 Booking Your Tour
Reservation, Chauffeur Match,
FlightAware, 24/7 Dispatch.
Booking a Bergström Wines wine tour runs through the same four-step process as every Marquee wine-country reservation: itinerary confirmation on the first call, a chauffeur matched to the party, FlightAware on any fly-in leg, and a 24/7 dispatcher at (503) 706-8662 for day-of adjustments.
Confirmation email plus day-before text
Call (503) 706-8662 or book online at any hour. Dispatch confirms the pickup address, the Bergström Wines reservation time, the passenger count, and the vehicle on the first exchange; a confirmation email lands within 10 minutes and a day-before text closes the loop. Guests who have not yet booked the winery get lead-time guidance.
Chauffeur matched to the itinerary
Dispatch matches the chauffeur and vehicle to the tour profile — couples in the S90, milestone groups in the Escalade, celebration circuits in the Sprinter classes — with a chauffeur who knows the Newberg approaches and the estate-curb positioning across the surrounding AVA map.
FlightAware on PDX arrivals
Fly-in wine weekends run on FlightAware: live wheels-down data feeds dispatch, the chauffeur meets the numbered PDX pick-up location, and the Bergström Wines reservation holds even when the inbound flight moves. A delayed flight shifts the pickup with no meter running on the wait.
24/7 dispatcher, not a call-center bot
A live dispatcher answers (503) 706-8662 around the clock for same-day adjustments — a stretched tasting, an added stop at a neighboring estate, or a harvest-season reroute around 99W traffic on the way to Newberg. Late-evening returns reach a person, not a queue.

Frequently Asked
Questions, Answered.
How much does a Bergström Wines wine tour cost?
Bergström Wines tours book on the hourly rate — the Volvo S90 at $110 per hour on the three-hour minimum, the Cadillac Escalade ESV at $135 per hour for up to 6, or the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter at $165 per hour for groups up to 14 — with the 20 percent service fee included and the Portland round trip absorbed. The quote is fixed before pickup, with no surge pricing.
Where is Bergström Wines located?
Bergström Wines pours by appointment at its tasting house at 8115 NE Worden Hill Road, Dundee, OR 97115; the winery at 18215 NE Calkins Lane, Newberg, OR 97132, in the Chehalem Mountains AVA, sits about 45 minutes from Portland and 25 miles out. The five estate vineyards spread across three AVAs, the Dundee Hills, the Chehalem Mountains and Ribbon Ridge, each farmed biodynamically. The chauffeur handles the final approach and drops at the tasting-house door.
Who founded Bergström Wines and why does the story matter?
John and Karen Bergström founded the winery in 1999 and son Josh Bergström — trained in Burgundy — took the vineyards biodynamic early, well before it became a valley talking point. The house farms five estate vineyards, 70 acres in all, in the Dundee Hills, Ribbon Ridge and Chehalem Mountains AVAs, and the farming-first identity is the through-line of every pour.
Which AVA is Bergström Wines in?
The tasting house on Worden Hill Road in Dundee sits in the Dundee Hills AVA, overlooking the Bergström Vineyard; the winery on Calkins Lane in Newberg is in the Chehalem Mountains AVA, and the five estate vineyards span three AVAs. Bergström's winery shares Calkins Lane with Adelsheim, and Nicolas-Jay's estate is minutes apart on NE Dudley Road. The Ribbon Ridge estates, including Beaux Frères, sit one hill over.
What does the Bergström Wines tasting include?
Ekollon, Bergström's tasting house on Worden Hill Road in Dundee, pours by appointment with a seated flight of single-vineyard Pinot Noir and the Chardonnay program, the view running down over the Bergström Vineyard. Hosts walk the geology and the farming calendar through each pour, and larger formats reserve the private room upstairs.
What vehicles are available for a Bergström Wines tour?
The Volvo S90 runs $110 per hour for couples and solo tasters visiting Bergström Wines. The Cadillac Escalade ESV carries up to 6 at $135 per hour for milestone trips and small groups. The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter handles up to 14 at $165 per hour for celebration circuits; the VIP Lounge Sprinter runs $190 per hour for up to 10. Seating 13, the Portland Executive Limo is also $190 per hour. All rates include the 20 percent service fee.
How long is the drive from Portland to Bergström Wines?
Guests are dropped at the by-appointment tasting house on Worden Hill Road in Dundee; Portland to the Calkins Lane winery in Newberg runs about 45 minutes, about 25 miles. Weekend wine-country traffic can add 15 to 25 minutes in harvest season from late August through October, which dispatch builds into the departure plan. The chauffeur checks ODOT TripCheck before rolling and adjusts the route rather than the reservation.
Can you combine Bergström Wines with other wineries?
Yes. Bergström's by-appointment tasting house is on Worden Hill Road in Dundee; Adelsheim on Calkins Lane and Nicolas-Jay on Dudley Road sit minutes apart, and Beaux Frères and the Ribbon Ridge estates sit one hill west. The classic pairing runs Bergström plus Adelsheim in 5 to 6 hours door-to-door, with a Newberg or Carlton lunch between.
How far ahead should I book a Bergström Wines tour?
Book 14 to 21 days ahead for standard weekend afternoons and 30 to 45 days ahead for summer Saturdays, harvest weekends, and the Memorial Day and Thanksgiving open-house weekends, when both Bergström Wines reservations and vehicle availability tighten. Sprinter bookings for 10 or more lock about two weeks out. The winery's own reservation confirms separately through their site; dispatch coordinates the timing.
What makes Bergström Wines distinctive?
Bergström is the farming-and-scores house: five biodynamic estate vineyards across three AVAs (the Dundee Hills, Chehalem Mountains and Ribbon Ridge), the Sigrid Chardonnay with genuine cult standing, and a 95-plus critical record from Advocate and Vinous that few Oregon producers sustain year over year. Tastings pour at Ekollon, the tasting house in the Dundee Hills overlooking the Bergström Vineyard, planted in 1999 and the birthplace of the label.
Does the chauffeur stay during the Bergström Wines tasting?
Yes. The chauffeur stages on the Bergström Wines property and holds through the full tasting window on the hourly rate, so the vehicle is at the door the moment the party wraps — no mid-visit repositioning, no app request from a wine-country dead zone. Longer formats simply extend the hold; the rate structure does not change.
How much is the tasting fee at Bergström Wines?
Bergström Wines sets its own tasting fee and it moves with the experience booked, so the current price confirms when the reservation is made through the winery's site. The transport side is the fixed part: the chauffeur holds on the property through the appointment on the hourly rate, Volvo S90 at $110 per hour with the 20 percent service fee included, and the booking page returns your exact tour quote.
