We had a lovely visit to the Winery. Derrick was very welcoming and knowledgeable regarding the wines. The wines were enjoyable, mostly Pinot noirs but the merlot was excellent, too. The best part was sitting in a lovely homey atmosphere by a wood stove and having a relaxing afternoon.

Such a cute vineyard and great hospitality! Derrick is so knowledgeable and friendly and we loved hearing about the wine. And it was delicious too!

Delightful small vineyard and winery in Washington County. Grapes are grown sustainably, wine is crafted with care, service in the winery is friendly and knowledgeable. These folks make wine tasting something all can enjoy, regardless of how educated your palate is.

We enjoyed our wine tasting at this very small vineyard. The outdoor seating was quite rustic which was ok I guess. The wines and service were very good. We had an Estate Pinot Gris, two or three Estate Pinot Noirs, a Columbia valley Riesling, and a Merlot. All of these were nice, we especially liked the Pinot Noir and Riesling. We did not purchase anything but wines seemed rather reasonable. Will be back in the summer when the outdoor seating should be a lot of fun.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting this winery, and it exceeded all expectations. The wine selection was excellent, offering a delightful variety. The tour provided an amazing insight into the art of winemaking, and the owner’s passion and knowledge were truly one of a kind. Throughout the tour, I found myself immersed in the experience, allowing me to momentarily escape and park my troubles away. A heartfelt thank you for a memorable visit. Highly recommended!

The was an amazing experience. We learned so much about wine making and tasting in a very relaxed and comfortable setting. John was super friendly and answered all of our questions no matter how silly they might have been. The wine is spectacular too! We will definitely be back.

Stumbled upon this place during our weekend trip to Portland and 10/10 recommended. The service was outstanding, the host was super friendly and welcoming. The space itself is so peaceful, quiet and relaxing. Would def visit again.
Wonderful wines. Amanda was very informative and knowledgeable about the wines and history of the area. It was a pleasure to meet John and so considerate to give us a quick tour since harvest had just started.

We love Helvetia! Our tasting server was friendly and warm, and he paced out our flights effectively. We loved sitting in the cozy chairs by the wood stove and the pleasant folksy band was an unexpected surprise! Only suggestion-fly traps could help control the little buggers. I know fruit and wine attract flies, but they were a little bothersome on this particular trip. See you again soon!

We enjoyed a very pleasant afternoon at Helvetia Winery. The wines were lovely and Tina Yee, our host, was knowledgeable and helpful. The winery is special and the countryside is beautiful!

We scheduled a tasting and enjoyed all five wines we tried, buying the the pinot gris. They had just completed harvesting while we were there and we’re delighted when John the owner offered to give us a tour of the processing just down the road. It’s a lovely small winery with delicious high quality wines. We’ll definitely visit again when we return to Oregon!

We had a lovely experience here on a cool rainy weekend day. It has a very cozy feel, and we had a fantastic host who increased our knowledge regarding wine and the Tualatin Valley. We really enjoyed our tasting and we'll definitely return!
