Black Walnut Inn & Vineyard

Absolutely wonderful. Very accommodating staff. Fantastic food with a very talented chef using local product. Rooms were very comfortable, well decorated with nice amenities. Property has phenomenal views. I definitely will stay here again when in the area.

Best memories: Hiking perimeter of vineyards at sunrise during harvest, swinging under the walnut tree, visiting unusual wineries recommended by staff, watching the orange harvest moon rise over the valley from the fireside patio.
Best attributes of inn: The grounds and inn are beautifully appointed, AND...the staff, including Emma are truly the gem of this place. They were quick to share their knowledge about the Black Walnut vineyard, the Dundee hills and surrounding wineries. Their enthusiasm was infectious, we couldn't wait to drive to some outlying vineyards and just explore the Willamette valley.
Best takeaway: Trading a bottle of wine from our area with the staff, a visit to the Abbott Claim winery with its underground tasting room AND knowing that we will return to this hilltop inn again!!

My wife and I, along with two close friends, just finished our stay at the Black Walnut (Rooms 7 & 9). Both rooms were wonderful - spacious, well appointed and with incredible views (from the room and outside sitting areas). The property is located in the Dundee Hill with an amazing view of multiple vineyards, the Willamette Vally and Mt. Hood off in the distance. It felt like we were in Tuscany - and the architecture of the Black Walnut reinforced that notion! The Inn is centrally located in wine country with a number of good dining options (to keep with the Italian theme, be sure to dine at Rosmarino Osteria in Newburg while visiting!). Also, be sure to dine at the Inn one night as Chef Chase is incredible - creative/delicious menu! My wife and I can't say enough good things about the Inn - it is a must visit!

If I could give Black Walnut 1000 stars, I would! The first word that comes to mind is WOW. Our stay at Black Walnut Vineyard was nothing short of amazing. The service is TOP NOTCH. Collin, especially, is the absolute best! He is super friendly and extremely knowledgeable on all things Willamette Valley. He provided recommendations to great wineries and restaurants. The entire staff is extremely friendly, and the word “no” is certainly not in their vocabulary. They even helped us package and ship our wine. And hats off to Chef Chase. His food is incredible! We could not wait to go to breakfast in the morning which was outstanding! The food is fresh and delicious. Even on our last day when Chef knew we wouldn’t be able to go to breakfast because we had to leave very early for the airport, he packed us up some of his amazing breakfast scones which we devoured at the airport! And if you have time to do dinner at Black Walnut, absolutely do it! We had the most spectacular meal with Chef Chase. The food was just the best.

To top it all off, the grounds. Wow is Black Walnut a hidden gem. It is a Tuscan villa taken straight from Italy. The grounds are absolutely stunning. The views of the beautiful Dundee hills are spectacular. The property itself is great too. The main house is straight out of a Restoration Hardware catalog (literally). It’s beautifully decorated and there are plenty of things to do. You can lounge on one of the many patios, sit by the fire pits, play Corn Hole, or just simply open a bottle of wine and just sit to enjoy the view (with blankets provided if it’s chilly, of course). Our room was also so beautiful. We had a big comfortable bed and the room had all the amenities and more. Our favorite part of the room was the private patio with Adirondack chairs where we would sit and enjoy our wine each day.

I cannot say enough good things about Black Walnut. They truly make you feel like family here. I always thought going to Oregon would be a one-time experience. However, after staying at Black Walnut, I am already wanting to plan to return and stay here because it was just that good.

We loved our stay at the Black Walnut. Such a beautiful, peaceful place to stay. We had an amazing wine flight upon arrival. Really enjoyed exploring the nearby vineyards too. Definitely plan to return!
