“Had a great tasting experience here on a rainy afternoon! So cozy inside on the couches and our host Brit was so lovely to talk to. I loved hearing about the history of the place and seeing the soil in jars 🤓 and the wines were excellent. I loved and would totally buy almost all of the ones we tasted. Great spot for wine tasting year round and love the wines!“

“An amazing experience a great hospitality. Ryan always makes the experience for my wife and our guests enjoyable. I truly hate to tell you about this hidden gem but these guy's deserve the recognition. Hands down my favorite place to hangout and enjoy the sports on TV at the tasting room.“

“I was so lucky to stumble upon this tasting room in Carlton! I honestly can’t stop raving about it. Nicky provided fantastic service, and every wine I tried was delicious… the Rubis was an absolute standout. I’m thrilled to have joined their wine club and can't wait to go back!“

“We recently visited Ken Wright Cellars for a wine tasting and thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of the experience. Our host, Sidney, struck the perfect balance between education and hospitality. She spent just the right amount of time with us, providing excellent insight into the winemaking process while also allowing us plenty of time to relax and enjoy each other's company.

Our favorite wine of the tasting was the Willamette Valley Chardonnay, which was absolutely outstanding. We also ordered a charcuterie board that complemented the wines beautifully, with a well-balanced selection of cheeses, crackers, nuts, and olives.

One of the things that impressed us most about Ken Wright Cellars was the variety of wine club membership options available. The flexibility and benefits made it easy to find a membership that fit our interests. We were so impressed by the wines, the service, and the overall experience that we joined the wine club that very day.

Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and we highly recommend Ken Wright Cellars to anyone looking for exceptional wines, knowledgeable staff, and a welcoming atmosphere.“

“Love the scenery, the vineyards, setting, the choice in wines, friendly knowledgeable staff, and they are so friendly to my pug dog, Pancake!! Always take a different bottle home!!“

“Stopped in for a quick lunch before our winery visit
Had a half sandwich and soup special. Soup was delicious (creamy tomato) with fresh ingredients and delicious flavors. Sandwich was an Italian. Delicious as well.
Had a nice glass of Pinot Noir from Marshall Davis winery. Keri was a great host as well!

Great place for a delicious meal. Would definitely stop here again.“

“My girlfriend and I had a wonderful time here. Robin (our wine tasting guide) did an excellent job of explaining all of the wines to us and was so much fun chatting with. She really knew the wines and how they were grown and did a wonderful job of explaining everything. We ended up leaving the tasting room with more wines to take home than we expected. A great experience and fun location!“

“We decided to stop in for a glass of wine before going to dinner. Such a great spot. We tasted several wines and bought a glass or two. Kara was the perfect host and we enjoyed our before dinner drinks. Highly recommend if you are downtown McMinnville.“

“Excellent experience tasting Big Bold Reds with Teresa. Always a pleasure to chat with her and Hedrian. If need a change from Pinot Noir, stop in and enjoy the amazing varitels. Also, Stark wines are available from Roxanne, the wine makers daughter. We always feel like family when we stop by. This is a wonderful tasting room to stop & enjoy the view & wines. Cheers“

“This is a very fun wine bar; it’s got a mix of dive bar with upscale wine bar and just a laid back atmosphere. It’s probably our favorite wine bar in downtown and a must stop for anyone visiting! Even if you’re stopping for a quick glass or looking to play some pool, you have to check it out.“

“Very nice tasting room in the heart of McMinnville. Katie had a nice table setup for our party. We started with some sparkling white wine. We had a wonderful wine tasting and we even bought some Pinot Noir. We highly recommend this winery to others.“

“Easily the most fun bar in downtown McMinville! We go for the karaoke and go back every time we are in town. The owners and staff always make it feel like another neighborhood bar and make you feel so welcome. The karaoke song options are endless! They’ve got great drink options too. If you love karaoke or just want a fun night out, this is a great spot after dinner!“

“We have been in this community since 92’ and have learned the immeasurable value of the people and businesses that care about this place we call home. Rich Washburn and Pinot Vista value leaving this community better than they found out it. It shows in everything they do. And they have great wines! 😎“

“the wine and the service are both fantastic.“

“Absolutely delicious food, atmosphere impeccably curated and service with great warmth and attention to detail.
Eating here is a wonderful and exciting experience that will leave you feeling fully satisfied. The wine list is especially enchanting, with a carefully selected 10,000 bottles to choose from on site.“

“Tyler & Jonathan were an absolute blast at the tasting room. Great conversations and the wine is phenomenal - left with several bottles and a promise to return. Just a great vibe that should be experienced by all. If you couldn’t tell, we plan to return. 💕“
