2026 Best Winery Restaurant in America

USA TODAY 10Best Readers’ Choice Awards

Amaterra is proud to be named the 2026 USA TODAY 10Best Readers’ Choice Award winner for Best Winery Restaurant in America.

Presented annually by USA TODAY, the 10Best Readers’ Choice Awards recognize outstanding destinations and experiences across travel, dining, hospitality, and lifestyle. Each category begins with nominations from a panel of industry experts, and the winners are determined by votes from readers across the country.

This national recognition reflects the experience that has defined Amaterra since opening in 2022: thoughtfully crafted Pacific Northwest cuisine, handcrafted estate wines, genuine hospitality, and an unforgettable setting overlooking the Tualatin Valley.

Our chef-driven menus celebrate the seasons with locally sourced ingredients, while our winemaking team produces distinctive wines in Oregon’s most technologically advanced gravity-flow winery. Together, they create an experience where exceptional food and wine are designed to be enjoyed side by side.

We’re honored to receive this award and grateful to everyone who voted, dined with us, celebrated special occasions here, and continues to make Amaterra a destination worth sharing.
