Tucked away in the rolling hills of Oregon’s Walla Walla Valley, Dragon’s Gate Brewery is a hidden gem where old-world tradition meets peaceful farm life. The moment you arrive, you’re greeted by sweeping countryside views, the gentle presence of Friesian horses grazing nearby, and the inviting warmth of a rustic farmhouse brewery.
Our brewery is more than just a place to grab a pint — it’s an experience. The spacious beer garden is surrounded by vineyards and open fields, with plenty of seating to relax, unwind, and soak up the serenity. Whether you’re sipping on a Belgian-inspired ale under the open sky or gathered with friends by the firepit as the sun sets, Dragon’s Gate feels like a retreat from the rush of the world.
It’s a place where craftsmanship shines, flavors are bold yet refined, and every visit feels like coming home to something magical and timeless.
