My husband and I decided to try a new winery on our recent Dundee visit. We took a chance and stopped at Alit. We were the only patrons on a Sunday afternoon. Josh was a lovely host. We felt welcomed immediately. He spent time with us, talking not only about the wines, but chitchatting about a variety of topics. The wines are good - we really enjoyed their rose and purchased a few bottles for our summer enjoyment. Comfortable seating, open concept tasting room, and outdoor seating when the weather is nice. They also serve beer on tap for those who prefer beer over wine.

I joined Alit Winery in 2023, shortly before losing my job. As a disabled veteran, financial stability is crucial for me. Alit failed to inform me about the auto-renewal of my membership and never sent any communication regarding the renewal process. The only time I heard from them was when my payment failed due to a new debit card.
When I contacted them to explain that I was unaware of these charges and had not utilized the membership in 2024, I requested a cancellation and a refund. They flatly refused. This lack of transparency and customer care is unacceptable. I advise potential customers to steer clear of Alit Winery. Their business practices do not respect consumer rights or financial situations. Consider this a warning from a disappointed veteran.

Enjoyed a great morning at this lovely place for tasting. Nice wine and very friendly service. As I was traveling with my kids, they were able to offer non alcoholic drinks for them while the adults enjoyed the tasting.

A visit to Alit Wines for tasting is a must if you're in the area or passing by. The store is beautifully decorated and tranquil, and the staff were amazing. Their passion for wines was clear, as they explained to us their different products and the industry in the Willamette Valley. We had the white/rosé flight which was excellent. I'm normally not a fan of chardonnay, but the one they had to sample was excellent, which shows how good the wines are. To top it all off, they comped our tasting ($25) when we purchased 3 bottles of wine afterwards ($80). So it's a good value too! If you're local, they also have a wine club where you can purchase an annual membership and get bottles at a discount.

My bridesmaids & I went here the night before my wedding. We had the most amazing experience with Bailey as our wine connoisseur! Bailey made sure we were taken care of every step of the way, and did everything for us to get the perfect picture ? will be going back for sure!!!

Awesome wine in a cool space right off the main drag. Very clean and modern decor. The staff were very friendly and the music playing was great! Much more reasonably priced flight than the places nearby. They were able to get us in without a reservation easily which was great. Love this spot!

My guy and I stopped by on our way through town Saturday before close. We had the best time at the bar tasting and chatting with staff. They were so kind, knowledgeable and enjoyable to talk with! The wines were all absolutely AMAZING, I don't know if I can pick one favorite. Definitely a treasure & treat, thank you for the hospitality!!!

Great wines and even better customer service! We first tried their wine at a restaurant where a sommelier recommended it for us. Highly recommend Alit wines!

YES, THERE ARE MORE THAN 140 WINERIES IN THE LOCAL AVAS BUT ALIT IS MY PERSONAL FAVORITE AND YOU'LL BE THRILLED WHEN YOU VISIT.ALIT WINES ARE CREATED WITH THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF SUSTAINABILITY AND FROM SOME OF THE MOST INTENSE CULTIVATING TECHNIQUES DESIGNED BY GLOBALLY RESPECTED AGRONOMISTS AND VINICULTURISTS.THE PINOS ARE EXQUISITE, THE PARRETT MOUNTAIN CHARDONNAY AND THE MUSCAT ARE WITHOUT PAREL.MEMBERS OF THEIR COMMUNITY AND ALL VISITORS ARE WELCOMED EXUBERANTLY WITH SUPERB PROFESSIONALISM.
We had a very unexpected and completely wonderful time at Alit. We went there on a Wednesday to have a light lunch and taste a wine or two and really weren't expecting much more. But when Cameron started telling us about the wines we got interested (he's really good at describing the terroir and what it imparts to the wines). We ended up tasting a number of wonderful winesand buying quite a few of them. Thanks Cameron!

Alit has a great space for tasting and wonderful charcuterie boards. They give a 45% discount to wine club members for $130 club entry. Their wines are a great way to explore Dundee wines, Bring friends to one of their many food truck/music events!blots if parking in the back.

Stopped in for an unscheduled tasting and we were quickly greeted. The building is a very airy, and modern. The server informed us that it was built into an old gas station, which we wouldn’t have guessed if he hadn’t told us! It offered a variety of indoor and outdoor seating options. We both tried the Pinot flights. Not only were the wines wonderful, but the server also went into detail on the winery’s history, location, and their own unique, scientific approach to wine, including their research into the soil and Bed rock of their vineyards. The have a number of scientists and wine experts that all contribute to this. They continued to show us pictures of trenches in the vineyards, how vines grow (made into pretty chandeliers inside) in different soil types, and various maps of the vineyard with different elevations, soil types, and electrical currents. It was a truly fascinating and unique experience. I’d love to go again on my next visit to the area to hear about any new developments or hypothesis on their research— in addition to buying their wonderful wines again.

We really like this place! Employees are very knowledgeable about their wines. We are members and we're able to just taste what we wanted. The Mexican food truck is nice. After having several tastes of wine, the food is greatly appreciated.
