“Excellent ambiance and wine. If I were to design a tasting room from the ground-up, this is what it would look and feel like. The tasting room feels like a contemporary Italian château, complete with multiple fireplaces and an occasional guitarist. The staff is extremely welcoming and friendly. Zero pretentiousness here - it’s a great place to ask questions and learn more about wine. We even had the winemaker come out to our table and chat with us about the wines. My wife and I became members here after our first visit because we immediately knew we’d be coming back for more.“
“Absolutely incredible experience! My family has done a lot of wine tasting throughout the years and this was by far one of our favorite experiences. The house is incredibly cozy and all the wines were deliciously paired with food. Our server Jo was also very sweet. We will absolutely be making this a tradition. Could not recommend more for a cozy, rustic and unique wine tasting experience!“
“This was a needle in a haystack.. Beautiful beautiful grounds, lovely animals and fun people people.. The tasting flight all of them were fantastic. I highly recommend!“
“We had such a wonderful time New Year's Eve at Elk Cove. Kohl was an awesome host for our noon wine tasting extravaganza! Love the Elk Cove family and thanks so much for sharing the beautiful view of the vineyard from your new tasting room!“
“This was one of the best experiences my husband and I had during our trip to Oregon! As we were tourists, we happened to fall upon this amazing winery coming back from our trip to the coast. We were immediately greeted with friendly faces and amazing service as well as a bit of shelter from the rain :) Huge shout out to Lori for not only being extremely personable and knowledgeable, but also for teaching us so much. From telling the story of the winery, and how the wine flavors are influenced from the soil of the region, it was so eye opening. We do not come from a wine country region of the US and we quickly learned we did not know what good wine was or much about wine in general. It was a learning experience but also with truly the best wine we have ever had. Also make sure to ask about the stories of the winery cats and how they help out the winery! We will make a trip back to Oregon strictly to come visit this winery again. Thank you Lori and the all winery staff for the amazing experience and wine! FYI- they ship wine if you're traveling from out of state!! :)“
“Elliot was a wonderful host! We learned so much about the history of the Ponzi winery and the wine making process. The wines were delicious and the charcuterie board was perfect! The setting is spectacular too! A lovely way to spend an afternoon in Oregon wine country.“
“Great view and great snacks with the wine. Loved the entire time we spent there“
“This winery has an INCREDIBLE view! The sommelier was incredibly kind and outgoing and made us feel right at home. I love that this winery is named after the falcons and raptors in the area. Got to see a beautiful red tailed hawk from our table! Highly recommended!“

“Blizzard wines is one of the most unique wineries I’ve been to and I’m a retired sommelier that saw the rise of Napa Valley in the early 1980’s. Dana and Nick Blizzard started making wine in her parent’s garage and now have expanded with a world class tasting room to go with their world class wines. What really attracted me to become a wine club member was their Grower Champagne selections that they import. Andrew and Michelle are seasoned and educated wine pros that make you feel like family. Thank you Dana for a wonderful evening at the new members event last night!“
“Stopped by yesterday afternoon -- had a flight of wines -- both white and red (you get to choose 5 from their list). Every single one was a winner - smooth - fresh - fruity - lush - bold! The service and atmosphere were inclusive and fun. Highly recommend if you love good wine!“
“Wonderful Wine Amazing People Great Nonprofit Always a Great Time!“
“Excellent weather to go to a winery. There are hundreds of vineyards around Oregon, and I try to take the time to check some of them out when possible. This year however we’ve made it more of a priority. This one is right close to our home (about 15 minutes away). One of my all time favorite wines is the Toasted Cow White Blend from Oak Knoll. Sweet but not too sweet and light and refreshing, perfect for a Summer’s day. Highly recommend.“
“I had wonderful time at a winery for my first time!!! I’m definitely going back, thank you so much for the wonderful service.“
“Wine was very good. I think what set them apart was their Rose, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir were all worth purchasing, and we did. Seems rare for a winery to excel across multiple categories.
My only complaint is the tasting fee is expensive given you need to purchase $70 or $75 worth of product to waive just one tasting. For $35 you’re better off ordering 3-4 glasses at table for your party. The tasting pours are tiny…an ounce or less. Truly, just a taste. Go to catch the view and enjoy a glass of wine…they’re all delicious and worth the price. Don’t waste money on the tasting.“
“I came across their wines at the wine shop near our house in Yachats. I was visiting a friend in Portland and we happened to drive by a sign saying the vineyard was a few miles away, so we stopped by and had a tasting flight. The staff was super friendly, as was Steve, the owner. We bought some amazing wine and just really enjoyed our afternoon.“
“What a delightful establishment. We wandered by after having a bad experience at another winery (sat for 25 minutes while no one so much as looked at us), and could not have been more pleased with the service we received at Kramer. It completely turned our day around. The wine is excellent and we even got to chat with the winemaker! Don't miss the charcuterie board either. Delicious.“

“This is by far one of the best wineries I’ve been to in Oregon! The views of Mt. Hood are absolutely stunning, and the overall atmosphere is immaculate. The owners are incredibly welcoming and made the whole experience even more enjoyable for me and my friends. Plus, they have the cutest dog! The wine and food were both fantastic, especially the Bulls Blend! I highly recommend this place if you're looking for a great wine-tasting experience in Oregon with friends or family.“
