“Decided to stop at this winery to do a tasting happy they are dog friendly and we were able to take both the pups inside. Grounds are lovely and flowers were beautiful. Wine flight was delicious 😋 and happily purchased some to take home. The server was very pleasant and helpful with describing various wines and areas grapes 🍇 were grown.“
“The Venue
From the moment you arrive, the panoramic views of the Willamette Valley take your breath away. Perched high in the Dundee Hills, the tasting room offers a sophisticated, rustic atmosphere that remains warm and inviting. The windows are seemingly endless so the interior is never lacking in views. Nevertheless, there is a very pleasant terrace should you want to be outside.
The Wines
The quality here is undeniable. Knudsen is legendary for their Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, and the tasting flight beautifully showcases their commitment to elegance and terroir. Each pour was balanced, expressive, and truly reflective of the high-elevation site. Jeff did an amazing job explaining the wines and showing us exactly where they came from.
The Ruling
We were impressed by the majority of the wines we sampled. As is always the case - everyone’s palate is different, but if you don’t find something to suit you here, you probably won’t find it anywhere else.“
“Great wines at a great price!“
“My wife and I have been passionate about wine for almost two decades, and have traveled the world to taste wine. I have never had a host as great as David was with our party. He is smart, funny, and passionate about his wine. He makes you feel like family and his wine is amazing! Book a tasting, you will be thrilled you did!“
“Such a great experience at Purple Hands! Bobby was so kind, welcoming and knowledgeable and shared so much good info with my mom and I about the wines and the Willamette Valley as a wine region. Loved every single wine we tasted - really incredible, complex Pinot is being made here and I was happy to grab some amazing bottles to share with friends and family. Thank you Purple Hands!“
“Had a lovely experience here. Giselle is a lovely server and made our experience phenomenal. She is super attentive, taught us everything about what makes their different wines unique. Definitely stop by if you're in the area if you want to have a taste of what Willamette Valley has to offer for wines.“
“If you’re looking for an intimate tasting of extraordinary wines, you’ll have to work a little to find this hidden gem, tucked up into the Dundee Hills. Cody’s wines express complexity and nuance that will have you falling in love with every vineyard, every vintage. Owen was a knowledgeable and insightful host, sharing so much detail about the care that goes into production. You’ll feel like a Valley insider who’s treated to a personal and special experience.“
“The team from Andante Vineyard was delighted with our experience at Domaine Roy. Osmond was the perfect host, providing all the technical information we could want and speaking into his experience with the company over even years, all while keeping service calm and unpretentious. The wines are stunning, and show the unique terroirs of their two Estate sites. The hospitality space is beautiful as are the views. Highly recommend!“
“Wasn’t originally on my list of stops, but I’m very glad I made the detour. The experience was hospitable, kind, and attentive, all wrapped in a relaxed, easygoing tasting environment. And it certainly doesn’t hurt having Mt. Hood as a backdrop, hard to beat that view while enjoying a glass.“
“My husband introduced me to Torii Mor during my first ever wine tasting experience back in 2008. Since then, we've come on and off for the last 18 years (with some time off during our early parenting years, as well as during the height of the pandemic). We now try to visit about once-a-quarter. The thing I love most about the winery is that it's the kind of place you can go to sip a glass of wine, or do a tasting, in relative peace and quiet - this is not a place where the influencer crowd visits. I don't drink often, but when I do, I prefer a glass of Torii Mor. Over the decades they've managed to create consistently good wines across all their varieties (special mention to their Old Vine Chardonnay... there's something magical about it, as it's the only Chardonnay I like).
You can't beat the views, either: whether it's sitting out on the back deck and looking out at the Willamette Valley during sunny days, watching the foliage change and fall during the autumn, or cozying up in their indoor tasting room during the rainy season, the location high up in the hills offers something year-round. The mood, ambiance, and wine all make for an experience where you can get clarity to a question that's been on your mind, or have a good conversation (philosophical or otherwise) with a friend or loved one. And if you ever want to talk wine, you can always find good company with Nicolas (Torii Mor's resident wine expert).“

“Thank you, Trellis, for elevating our family's anniversary celebration with desserts that are almost too pretty to eat, hands down so delicious, I'm at a loss for words, which as a writer is a big deal. Appreciate your attention to detail and your role in making our celebration memorable. Make them your go-to for your next special occasion, or enjoy tasty seasonal desserts at their charming restaurant in Dundee.“
“We had seven Willamette Valley wine tastings in three days, and Day Wines far surpassed the rest. The tasting room is warm and cozy on a rainy day, the wines were excellent, and Brianne and Layla were friendly, informative, and professional. We left feeling as if we’d made a few friends!“

“What a stunning location! Although we experienced a delay with our food due to a WiFi glitch that prevented orders from reaching the kitchen, the staff handled it with impressive care and urgency. They quickly sorted everything out, allowed guests to switch to lunch options, and generously comped all our meals—plus treated us to delicious lemon pies. Best of all, when the food arrived, it was absolutely incredible. Everyone in our group was raving about their dishes. Despite the initial hiccup, the atmosphere was lively and the service truly outstanding. Highly recommend!“

“Was able to finally re-visit this winery that I hadn't been to since before covid. Earl was awesome and knowledgeable. I also had fun talking to some of the other tables that came to visit their lovely smaller tasting room that looks Northeast I believe and gives you a great vineyard view. Some very nice wines and reasonably prices. Strongly recommend them.“
