Oregon's One-Man Dessert Winery | Atlas Obscura

Shallon Winery, located in Astoria Oregon, is one of the smallest wineries in the country. It is the only fully operating brick-and-mortar working winery in 7,000 square miles at the north end of the United States. Here, winemaker Paul van der Veldt runs a one-man winery known for unique, all-natural dessert wines in unexpected flavors, including an orange whey wine made with six kinds of chocolate and a smooth, semi-dry cranberry wine called Cran du Lait. However, the main draw might well be spending an afternoon with van der Veldt himself.
