Domaine Serene
The Excellence of Oregon Terroir • Dundee Hills • Free Shipping from $1,499 MXN
"Elevating Pinot Noir and Chardonnay to world-class standards through absolute precision and deep respect for Oregon's volcanic soil."
Philosophy and Legacy in Willamette Valley
Founded in 1989 by Ken and Grace Evenstad, Domaine Serene has been the winery responsible for putting Oregon on the global map for ultra-premium wines. Located in the coveted Dundee Hills, this estate stands out for its pioneering approach to precision parcel viticulture. As undisputed benchmarks in the curation of wines from the United States, they have demonstrated that the New World possesses the elegance and subtlety necessary to rival the most celebrated historic appellations of Europe in complexity and longevity.
The winery operates under a strict philosophy of gravity-flow winemaking and minimal intervention in the cellar, allowing the Jory soil (red volcanic soil rich in iron and clay) to dictate the aromatic profile of each vintage. This relentless pursuit of technical excellence has been supported by the Willamette Valley AVA, where Domaine Serene is considered a cult property for lovers of red wine with an aristocratic structure and supreme balance.
Each vineyard lot is harvested manually by hand and micro-vinified in stainless steel tanks before resting in custom-selected French oak barrels. This artisanal attention to detail translates into fine wines of impeccable tension, polished tannins, and unforgettable fruit depth.

Winery Icons
Evenstad Reserve Pinot Noir
It is the house's flagship label and the gold standard of American Pinot Noir. A master blend of unique parcels offering silky elegance, intense notes of black cherry, wild raspberry, lavender flowers, sweet spices, and effervescent minerality. This wine has been widely recognized by Wine Spectator as one of the best on the planet, surpassing several legendary Grand Crus of Burgundy in blind tastings. It is an essential piece for any wine collection of high prestige.
Evenstad Reserve Chardonnay
A masterful white that forever redefined white wine on the American continent. Meticulously aged on its fine lees in French oak, it presents a sumptuous palate with a balance between vibrant, citrusy acidity (green apple, lemon zest) and the unctuousness of toasted hazelnut and artisanal butter. Its production process adheres to the guidelines promoted by the Oregon Wine Board.
Yamhill Cuvée Pinot Noir
A supremely harmonious and seductive expression born in the Yamhill-Carlton AVA. It stands out for its nuances of red cranberry, pomegranate, cedar, and earthy forest floor notes. Medium-bodied with a velvety texture, it is the perfect introduction to the winery's high-end sensory universe.
