Ambar Estate is proud to announce its recognition by Wine Enthusiast as one of the Top Winery Restaurants in the World. Wine Enthusiast’s prestigious 2026 global roundup highlights 57 winery restaurants offering unforgettable dining experiences rooted in place, hospitality, and outstanding wine. Ambar Estate is the only Oregon winery recognized, and one of only 13 in the U.S.
“We are incredibly honored to receive this international recognition from Wine Enthusiast. This is a testament to Chef Heidi Whitney-Schile’s extraordinary creativity and her commitment to continually elevating the guest experience. Every menu begins with what’s growing around us and evolves through constant curiosity, collaboration, and refinement. To be recognized alongside some of the world’s most celebrated winery restaurants is both humbling and inspiring.”
– Julie Mettille, General Manager.
