The Mint

Erin Glenn’s winery and tasting room are located at The Mint ~ a fortress-like edifice commissioned by President Abraham Lincoln in 1864. After the gold rush failed to produce, the Feds thought better of their original plan and pulled up stakes, leaving the building incomplete and vacant.  It served as a moving and storage facility, among other things until 2005 when Erin Glenn moved in and began producing its wines here.

The people of The Dalles have welcomed the Schechtel family with open arms and hearts and have been integral in creating “The Mint”  an urban winery/“joint” and local hangout.  Local musicians can be found jamming at The Mint every Friday night and larger concerts are promoted there as often as winemaking allows.  Wine tasting is complimentary Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday from 12-5.

Come and visit our tasting room at 710 East Second Street, The Dalles, Oregon ~ 541-296-4707.
