Had done brief review a few years back. Today, my friend and owner of A Vineyard Wine Tour, visited for her first time at CWS. Nick is AMAZING with his vast valley and even international knowledge. I have to say everyone that works there is awesome and so knowledgeable. This is where almost all of the valley wine makers got their start. Their ability to pour/customize a tasting that fits what you like, is unprecedented! If you are going to join a wine club, this is a great option with so many wine options! So unpretentious yet more information you could learn in 50 books or wine tours. I am a wine club member, even though I work in the industry, and will continue to refer anyone who is local or visiting to go here to get their "feet wet", or learn more than you can remember in two wines! Thank you!

Absolutely love this place! The variety of wine and the industry knowledge from staff made this place a must visit in Oregon wine country. The charcuterie vending machine is epic :)

The studio is a must-visit if you are ever in the valley. Wonderful staff and the wines are absolutely top notch.

Such a lovely and kind staff! Wine has always been great too with a variety of winemakers and options which I enjoy very much. You can bring snacks or they have a vending machine you can buy charcuterie items from too. No reservations needed.

Do you like trying wines from all different wineries?Do you like trying the same varietal but from different wineries / different nearby vineyards to see how they differ?Do you like supporting small winemakers / wineries?IF you answered YES, to any of the above, go see Whitney!She's a wealth of knowledge and tidbits about the wines and owners.So fun trying all the different wines.... and we found a GSM that is absolutely sublime. Oh... and a White Pinot Noir (Pinot Noir Blanc) was the surprising new wine I'd never tried before today. It was so good that I had to buy a couple bottles.Note: Walk-ins allowed and welcomed, and 2 people can share 1 tasting.Plus...they have a vending machine of charcuterie snacks you can buy to go with your tasting.

My partner and I love this place. We come every time we’re in town and we are never disappointed. Some of the best wines in the world come out of this little studio and you get to experience them in the tasting room. Nick and the service team always accommodate our taste in wine and the people are great. What a gem, I’m so glad we found it!

Griffen was fantastic! Super knowledgeable, personable and was able to tailor his explanations to enthusiasts and novices alike. The wines were all fantastic and this was one of the best tasting room experiences I’ve had anywhere. Highly recommend a visit here!

This is an all around happy place to visit. Staff is great and knowledgeable. My favorite aspect is the variety or wines and wine makers you get to try. Definitely recommend anyone come check it out

Visited on a beautiful Saturday afternoon in early October. Was very busy and understaffed and had paid ahead for the customized tasting experience. Even though the 2 employees working were slammed, Nick did everything he could to make our experience live up to their reputation. We had great seating outside with optimal shade. He created the perfect charcuterie board that paired well with the awesome selection of wines he chose for our tasting. He even carved time out to give us a tour of the facilities (which I did not even know was included in the tasting.) We were so pleased with the experience and wines that we became members. Can't wait to go back! Thank you, Nick, for your professionalism, patience and hospitality. It was very much appreciated.
We stopped in on a friend's recommendation and were very happy we did. We got in early, just after they opened, and that worked out well as the guy there (and I am kicking myself for not getting his name) had plenty of time to talk with us on the wines, the history of the area, the different winemakers, etc. We went through their basic tasting of five wines and enjoyed all of them. The place is set up really nicely, with plenty of room outside to sit and enjoy whatever you decide to order. The charcuterie plates looked delicious, so we might have to get one of those next time. The vending machine is a real kick as well, and it has some amazing cheeses in it.Five stars for sure - Mike sez absolutely check it out!

Can't say enough great things about this wine studio. Griffin was a gracious host in educating us in all the wines and the owner's backstories. I left with a lot of wine to take home. SO good!

What a surprise experience on our trip to Willamette Valley. Went to 3 other wineries and all of them recommended we go to The Studio to see Nick. Luckily they don't take reservations, so we walked in around 4pm on a Wednesday. Nick was absolutely wonderful and we learned so much about the winemaking process, soils, and the winemakers personal stories. We will definitely be back next time we are in the area!!! 10/10

Fantastic tasting of a variety of wines from multiple vineyards in the region. Highly recommended way to taste and get to know the wines of the area.
