Valley View Winery

Had an absolutely lovely Saturday evening here! Really fantastic tasting, with delicious food, grounds are beautiful, peaceful and serene. Russell provided an excellent experience, the Syrah was fantastic, the Moscato was a delicious surprise and the wine salts are a must! We look forward to our next visit! Thank you for such a relaxing evening!

Great wines, great views, great relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommend.

Beautiful place...lovely wines!

We just had an amazing experience at your winery on Sunday. Great service, some fabulous wines, and an amazing view.

My daughter and I had the best experience here Sunday June 15th, 2025. I hate seeing the bad reviews from years ago because this place was amazing. I'm not sure if it's new owners or new server or what, but it was fantastic. I didn't get our servers name, but he was an older gentleman with longer hair. He was fantastic. Instead of just having a list of 4 or 5 wines to try, he asked what kind of wines we liked and focused our tastings on that. It was great because my daughter and I both like different wines. We each got I think 8 samples and hers were all different than mine, so we could try each other's too. They had live music playing out on a beautiful lawn area with a great view. Others were bringing their own snacks which I thought was great that that was allowed. The tastings were complimentary if you purchased a bottle, which of course we did. Of all the wines we tasted there were only 2 we didn't care for. Both were Chardonnay, which I'm never a big fan of. Their Malbec was amazing. The only con I can think of was the big dog walking around, while people were trying to eat.

Love the wine!

Awesome service, friendly and knowledgeable.

Awesome wine and great experience.

My girlfriend and I had an amazing experience today at Valley View Winery. I went to Valley View Winery for the first time about 7 years ago. It was a different winery then. Today it has an amazing new wine maker, his wife (who was running the tasting room today) and they have done an all new take on this beautiful Winery. She gave us so much background on the winery including their history and the direction they have taken the wines. Too many award winners to list here. The tasting room has amazing views to the west, overlooking the vines, mountain peaks and their barn where all the processing, labeling and bottling occurs. We enjoyed every wine they had on their tasting list today, but especially their Chardonnay and their Syrah. I am not a huge Pinto Noir fan but they have the best Pinot Noir I think I have ever had!

The winery is just outside the small town of Ruch which is only a short drive from Jacksonville. Dog friendly, beautiful inside and outside seating areas including a grassy area. The parking lot is right next to the tasting room. A gorgeous, family run operation that is a must visit for any wine tasting trip to the Applegate Valley!

Valley view is a beautiful place and such a rich history! The people here are so personable and make it a great experience. You can walk around the vineyard, they have games and tables and seating outside with beautiful views of the mountains and the grounds. Your next wine tasting experience with the girls, date night, or with family and friends needs to be here!

Great place...amazing wine...and stellar staff (Gale)!!

We visited on a Sunday, they had a food truck and live music, the lawn area next to the tasting room had lots of sitting areas to relax and take in the view...I wish we would've brought a picnic blanket to lay in the grass, that would have been perfect. Gale was so kind and fun, she reminded us of home/our family which was nice after a long trip away from home!

Thank you Valley View for a great experience!

Their Chardonnay is delish!! The Pinot noir is yummy too!

There Chardonnay was so good!

Chardonnay was the perfect taste of butter and sweet!

WONDERFUL TASTE AND COMPANY
