When you say “end of May” do you mean around Memorial Day? If so, that’s one of the bigger wine weekends around here, and a handful of places that don’t normally open to the public will be doing open houses, like Eminent Domaine or Big Table Farm. If you’re not planning your trip on the holiday (and even if you are) def try to make an appt with Patricia Green Cellars. Beaux Freres is great too (although like White Rose they can be a little pretentious). Alexana and Furioso, in the Dundee hills have both great wines and good people. If you don’t mind a slightly longer drive, the setting at Coeur De Terre (Mcminnville foothills) is great.

undeniably the Eyrie Vineyards. you would be an absolute fool to go anywhere else before you went to Eyrie. One of the greatest and most historic in willamette.

Make sure to grab a bite at Red Hills Market in Dundee. All great recommendations on this thread, Sokol Blosser, Torii Mor and Vista Hills will be my adds. White Rose and Soter as mentioned previously are well worth stops. Enjoy Oregon!

Lemelson Vineyards is really good. Some of the best pinot I've tasted. I'm not sure if it's within one hour of Portland.

Soter Vineyards (appointment needed)- amazing sparkling wine, chardonnay and pinot. White Rose as mentioned and Patton Valley Vineyards- amazing pinot

Evesham Wood, Christom, Brooks especially if you're into rieslings and aromatic whites, Adelsheim, St Innocent, White Rose, Alexana, Bryn Mawr. If you're into more of a new world style I'd focus on the Yamhill-Carlton and Dundee Hills Ava's, if you're looking for more acidic and funky stuff go to Eola Amity, it's super underrated in my opinion!

Ayube and Patricia Greene.

If I recall correctly, we did some tasting in White Salmon WA and Hood River OR. Both are about an hour out of Portland. I cannot recall which wineries we went to however. Also the Willamette Valley has some good wines around the Dallas/Salem Area.

Stoller. Very nice place to visit, very nice wines.

Tumwater is also great! It sits on a pond in the Pete’s mountain area (about 30 min from downtown Portland) and they have some lovely flights. You get to choose your favorite from the flight for a full glass, which is included in the tasting. Sometimes they have live music. :) I always take friends who are visiting from out of town there!
