Wineries near Gaston

“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!“

“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.“

“The best wine ever!!“

“We're wine club members and have been here often. Always enjoy tastings at Alexana, but this was especially delightful. Wonderful host who helped us compare the vintages and the vineyards. We sat outside overlooking the vineyards, the January sun streaming in. Charcuterie was just right. Alexana wines are lovely.“

“One of the most beautiful winery properties we’ve ever visited! We loved it so much we went back the next day. The service is amazing, the wine is delicious, and the views are picturesque! This is a must visit if you’re in the valley or looking for a new winery experience.“

“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.“

“What an amazing recommendation from NW Wine Shuttle and Kim. We squeezed them in and it ended up being my favorite part of the day! Spending time with Russell and the heart and story of Flaneur gave me a little bit of Paris married with delicious wine of the Willamette Valley. I cannot wait to return for food pairing and getting the most our of my new membership and reason to head to quaint Carlton from Portland as much as I can and recommending others as well as clients. What a great stop, don't miss it.“

“I am visiting from Az and my son took me here, the owners have been here for a little less than a year and are simply wonderful. What a beautiful piece of the world with wonderful owners. Perfect“

“Great view and great snacks with the wine. Loved the entire time we spent there“

“Recently became members after the first time we stopped by and wow this place is truly so beautiful and peaceful! The tastings are fabulous and I love how they host other events which gives it a social club feel. We were having such an amazing time we didn’t even realize how much time passed by! Highly recommend coming especially when they have the pizza to order! Great selection of rose and Pinot and amazing staff!“

“Wonderful Wine Amazing People Great Nonprofit Always a Great Time!“

“Very enjoyable visit and informative tour. Wonderful selection of beautiful wines to taste. Several of our group had never been to a tasting, so this was a special treat. Giancarlo took great care of us, including incorporating special snacks in the charcuterie board for our vegan friend. Thank you for a tasty and informative afternoon!“

“Ribbon Ridge wines are some of the best of Oregon Wines. Ribbon Ridge is a tiny AVA that produces the amazing grapes. Ridgecrest (RR Wines) knows how to make the most of those grapes. The added plus is fantastic owners and staff. Highly recommend visiting their tasting cottage..“

“Beautiful evening with unique flights, stunning views, and passionate staff. It’s incredible to learn entrepreneurs' stories and how invested, they are in winemaking. We loved the Rieslings, will definitely visit again!“

“We had an absolute blast visiting Patricia Green Cellars! We were a group of four women who range in wine education and interest. I booked PGC because I'd heard that they'd have the best range of Pinot Noirs (Oregon's most famous grape) for the newbies in our group. We arrived at 3pm on the Friday of a long weekend. It was quiet when we arrived, but we were greeted with warm smiles and welcoming vibes. We were sat at a large table indoors, from which we enjoyed great 180 degree views. Yes, even from inside! Bottled water and a cheese plate were already laid out upon our arrival. Abigail was our server and wine educator. She was absolutely fantastic - amiable, humorous, and knowledgeable. She provided us THE BEST Oregon Wine 101 class and served a range of Pinots, allowing us to really understand the vastness of the Pinot grape. Moreover, she was just the best intro to the area. She gave us great recommendations on food, bars, and other wineries we might want to consider (while also telling us we'd planned well, lol).

We'd recommend PCG as a great place to start any Willamette Valley wine weekend!“

“Great place to visit, relax, and sip some great wines.“

“I will definitely be back“

“We had a great experience tasting at the winery today! The new spirits area is also really cool with a cozy vibe. The staff were all very friendly and knowledgeable, the wines and spirits were all lovely, and the view is gorgeous even on a rainy day like today. We will definitely be back again soon!“

“We had a wonderful tasting experience at Saffron, thanks to our host, Adam. He was the right amount of everything: attentive, funny, informative and so accommodating. Our wine purchase was mixed up and Adam went out of his way to make it right. That’s the kind of customer satisfaction that is so hard to find!
We will definitely be back and bring friends!!“

“This place is an absolute vibe. The staff is incredible and knowledgeable, and the semi private seating areas throughout the tasting room are quaint and cozy. Looking for a more rustic vibe? They have an enormous barn with cozy seating as well. If the weather is great, enjoy the wrap around porch. Beyond that, their wines are fantastic! Small production (about 3K cases) AND they are VERY dog friendly!! Special thanks to Katie the tasting room manager who made my visit exceptionally special!“

“Our first visit to Willamette Valley on our fist day we decided to take a ride down to the coast, ended up on an amazing hike, visited the beach and stopped at a local seafood place in Manzanita and happed upon the most wonderful glass of Lemelson Pinot Noir. I immediately took a picture of the wine name to research later. We visited the vineyard the very next day, had a wonderful experience and as expected enjoyed every sip from our tasting. We are now proud Lemelson wine club members and couldn’t be more thrilled. I am a huge fan of Pinot Noir and this is some of the best. Our tasting experience was just as wonderful, the staff was friendly and knowledgeable, we had the best time relaxing by the fire and sipping on wine. This is a must stop when visiting the Willamette Valley!“

“Delicious wines; cozy, welcoming atmosphere. Jasmina will take good care of you!“

“I went to Carlo & Julian Winery today with a friend. I haven't been there since 2019. I liked this winery then and I love it now! 10 wonderful wines to taste and he just happened to have made a pulled pork and homemade chimichurri which was AMAZING both food and wine. If I had the money I would have come home with a variety case. Pricing of wines are extremely reasonable and the quality of the wines are amazing! I'm not a Pinot Noir person as a rule, but he had 3 that I could drink very happily. He also had the best, bar none, a GSM!!!! That did go home with me.😁 The 2021 Merlot-Malbec was so delicious that it also came home with me. The Syrah and Melbec oh my! Seriously if you haven't been or it's been a while you need to go! I plan I going again and bringing more friends to try his amazing wines! See you soon Carlo & Julian Winery!!!“

“For a very intimate tasting of some truly great wines, Native Flora should be on the top of your list. Looking forward to opening our bottles we bought and getting more from this cutting edge wine maker. Beautiful home, property, and dog 💕“

“Wonderful experience! We had a reservation for 6 and were seated at a table outside, which was absolutely wonderful. The guide for our tasting was excellent and the wines were top notch. We joined the wine club and are very excited for our first shipment. We also enjoyed our interactions with the cat and dog on the premises.“

“The wine tasting experience here was incredible. The staff were so friendly! They offer a nice range of red and white wines. I bought a few bottles and can’t wait to try more. I also recommend getting the cheese board - it was a nice touch throughout the tasting experience!“

“Really nice estate wines. Jody does a great job talking through the history of the vineyards and describing the wines. If you're buying 6 bottles or more, consider signing up for the wine club for additional discounts and free shipping.“

“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.“

“We spent a wonderful Sunday afternoon at Sealionne and look forward to going back. The views were stunning and the hospitality was supburb. All of the wine we tasted felt pretty darn special and I am excited to enjoy the bottle of pinot noir we brought home with us.“

“A family experience with a wine kicker!“

“We had a drop-in tasting with Liz, who was so kind and funny! She explained the wines were more dry (we prefer sweet) however they exceeded our expectations! The rosé was fantastic. We were able to have a private picnic out on the patio as well.“

“Great experience! You get to meet the people that do the work, they have great pride!!“

“Such a great wine tour and tasting! We had Eric as our guide and he was a wealth of knowledge (as well as a great photographer for group shots).They were very accommodating when we ran into some transportation issues too. The winery has such a cool history and amazing views! This is a must do when visiting the area!“

“My husband and I stopped at La Biblioteca yesterday, mainly because I'm a bibliophile! From the minute we walked in, we felt welcomed by Kalina, who was an absolutely wonderful hostess. She was extremely knowledgeable about wine and we chatted the entire time we visited, not only about wine but about books, travel, and life in the Willamette Valley. The tasting room is tastefully decorated with comfortable and adequate seating. We are not normally pinot noir drinkers but their wines have changed our minds. We purchased a few bottles and will look forward to visiting again.“

“The owners were fantastic, and so were the wines! We were on our way back from Cedar Hill to McMinville, and based off of other Google reviews decided to stop at Kason Vineyards for some wine tasting. It's a small operation owned by a husband & wife who are incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. Their wines are superb, especially their pinot noir! This is a MUST VISIT if you're in the area!“

“beautiful wines, great people and spectacular views“

“Such a cool experience. Our awesome tour guide (Grape Escape- Ralph Stinton) who we highly recommend set us up with David and a few other great earthy French style Pinot Noir producers which we prefer. My wife and I sat on David’s back porch with Walker and had EXCELLENT Pinot Noirs. It felt like sitting with a friend just enjoying great wine before David took off for the coast with Walker. He had really interesting stories of his experiences and we felt like we really got to know him.

David was kind enough to delay his trip to the coast for us and we are very thankful he did. We are new members of his wine club and look forward to receiving our first case in the fall. Highly recommend visiting particularly if you like earthy French burgundy style wine.“

“Good variety of wines with a wine maker that has great passion for his work.“

“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.“

“We had an amazing time during our visit! While we didn't sample every wine, the Cabernet Franc truly stood out for us. The winery itself is intriguing—it may appear to be a simple storefront in the city, but it boasts stunning views of the valley and mountains. We also enjoyed the bocce ball courts, and the staff provided a warm and friendly atmosphere. Plus, the prices were very reasonable!“

“Ken is always so nice and helpful when my wife and I show up. I love going and getting tasting flight and just relaxing in the back on the couches. The storefront is very warm and inviting and if you get a chance to join the wine club the parties, he throws are so wonderful. Look them up and go have a taste. His 2021 Chardenay is what hooked us and we've been going back often ever since. The bonus is that Carlton is such a cute little town with lots of little shops and spots to eat or grab a cup of coffee.“

“Incredible experience. Had the place to ourselves on a Thursday afternoon. Ray the manager of Craft guided us through the tasting and even gave us some extra wines to try as well. He was charming and gregarious and made the whole experience even more enjoyable. If your in North Willamette you need to go to Craft, a definite must stop in Carlton“

“Incredible and educational tasting experience! In the area for a 4 day girls birthday weekend. So glad we found this place and reserved our experience! It exceeded our expectations! And we loved the wine so much, we purchased some to send back to Wyoming! Thank you for a great experience!!“

“Incredible hidden winery. We went here on a whim and we are so happy we did. The view is beautiful. The service was terrific. The wines were delicious. I highly recommend making the trip here. I can’t wait to return and to share it with others.“

“Cellar Door Wine Tours took us to Tendril Wine Cellars first on our 3-winery tour and warned us we'd like it best. We truly did. Each wine was delicious. I'm an Oregon pinot noir fan and they make great ones, but also loved their white pinot noir and rose. Tasting manager Andrew was delightful and kept us both informed and laughing! The tasting room is very small, but they also have outside picnic tables for warmer months. Make an appointment and enjoy! I signed up for the wine club as I enjoyed every sip.“

“Great wines, relaxed atmosphere, nice little farm there as well. Winemaker is very knowledgeable about all the grapes.“

“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.“

“Super yummy wines, wonderful people, and a nice, laidback vibe. ❤️“
