“Every Memorial Day and/or Thanksgiving, I make a trip out to visit Westrey's warehouse in McMinnville. Dave and Amy are such great hosts who make amazing wine! I always have to buy pinot from Justice, Oracle, and Abbey Ridge because I can never decide on a favorite because they are so elegant and interesting in their own way.If you want to support a small family winery, this is it! Don't miss it on your trip to McMinnville!“
“Had a wonderful wine tasting today with Miriam. She was kind and knowledgeable! She taught us so much about the area and the Brittan family and the owner is on their 51st harvest! We loved the wine. It’s the first Chardonnay I’ve ever liked. They’re in a busy season so we got to see a bit of their process and learn more about how the wine is made. We will absolutely come back.“
“If you're serious about Willamette Valley wine and haven't found Ricochet yet, fix that immediately.
The Pilot Blanc stopped me cold. Sourced from some of the oldest Pinot Blanc plantings in the valley, it's completely unadulterated. Gently pressed, neutral barrel aged, and utterly alive. No winemaker fingerprints, just the vineyard doing its thing. It's the kind of white that makes you rethink what Oregon can do outside of Pinot Noir.
The Gamay is equally arresting. Bright, precise, and impossible to put down.
Then there's the Off-Line series . A sparkling Grüner Veltliner and a sparkling Tempranillo Rosé that manage to feel both playful and serious at once. Dry, food-friendly, and genuinely exhilarating. The kind of wines you open on the patio and finish before you meant to.
Winemaker Erich makes the whole experience feel personal and unpretentious. He'll answer anything, and as club members we've had the chance to get our hands into production, which is rare and genuinely special.
This is a winery with a clear point of view and the craft to back it up. Highly recommended.“
“A beautiful spot to enjoy a glass of wine & fresh creative food delicacy. A true special occasion destination.“
“We were lucky enough to meet Rob and his son Ben as we were enjoying wonderful wine. Honestly I am not a fan of Pinot Noir or even any red wine, so I was especially interested in the bubbly and the rose. It was DELICIOUS!!!! Our entire party was so very impressed. Best yet, there will be 6 bottles of bubbly waiting for me on my return home!“
“Wines that are a good mix of displaying typical Oregon pinot fruit, but with enough restraint to let the complexity shine through.“
“This is a hidden gem! Tucked in the hills, the tasting room has a beautiful view of the vineyard and forest. There are wild turkeys nearby adding to the charm. The wines are named after Persian historical figures and the staff share the unique stories and connections to the Persian winery owners. We had a lovely visit and the wines are all great!“
“One of my favorite wines and couples in the Valley. Tim & Denise are warm, knowledgeable and professional.
I always feel part of the family.
Tim's 20+ years of winemaking show in the quality and approachable style of their wines.“
“We received another case of your fabulous wines today. Megan gave us attentive service from start to finish.“
“We stopped in while driving by on a Sunday morning and had a great time. Sahara took great care of us. She was very knowledgeable and fun to talk to. We were impressed by all of their wines! If you are in the area I would definitely stop by to check the place out and try some wine“
“We’re so glad we stopped in to Jacob Williams Winery in downtown McMinnville! We made a reservation for tasting before dinner, and they were very helpful in accommodating when we needed to push back our reservation time day-of. We didn’t realize the winery was based in Washington, but we really enjoyed the change of pace from all the Pinots we had in the area and loved trying many different varietals. Shantel was so nice and knowledgeable and gave us great recommendations. She very sweetly surprised us with a gift upon learning we were on our honeymoon trip. We now can’t wait to enjoy what we brought home and plan a visit to wineries in Washington!“
“We are so fortunate to have The Eyrie Vineyards in Oregon. If you visit, please learn the history of this vineyard so you will understand why Oregon is able to maintain its beauty and bounty.“
“I love Rob's exceptional wines! As the Beverage Director at Sawgrass Country Club in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida I literally have access to just about any wine there is in the world, not just the Willamette Valley. While I haven't had a R.Stuart wine I did not enjoy, the single vineyard Daffodil Hill Pinot Noir is a stand out for me every year. I highly recommend stopping by Rob's tasting room when visiting Mcminnville. You will not be disappointed!“
“I recently did a flight of the distilled spirits and was blown away by the 22 year old brandy. All the bourbons I tasted were also good.
It's a neat place that combines wine and spirits tasting under one roof. They also had cards and board games to play while you're there. Overall really a nice experience.“
“My Dad is a Vietnam Vet. He always said…(You don’t have to be perfect at life just work hard at being your best!! And just like Horseshoes and Hand Grenades… you still hit the target.)Thank you for keeping this memory alive!! Great Wine ???“
“Retour Winery is an absolute gem in downtown McMinnville. The tasting room is stunning—elegant, warm, and inviting, making it the perfect place to relax and enjoy some truly incredible wines. Lindsay Woodard’s passion and expertise shine through in every bottle. It’s clear that Retour is built on a love for craftsmanship and quality, honoring her family’s deep roots in the Willamette Valley. Whether you’re a seasoned wine lover or just beginning to explore, Retour is a must-visit.“
“I always want my reviews be helpful and factual so I’ll say bottom line, we loved our stay and would recommend it. However, there are so key details that I felt important to share. For some, these things might matter and some it might not. To us, they did. PROS: The water. I travel a lot and hoard waters on my trip so I was shocked when they said they don’t have bottles on site. But that’s OK! The water is delicious straight from the tap, extensively filtered and truly does taste like bottled water. The views. The views are spectacular and were part of the reason we chose to stay here. The shower in our suite. The two shower heads, the water temp, pressure, tiles, stone, large bathroom, etc. It’s quiet. Very quiet! Almost too quiet for me though but if you’re looking to disconnect, this is the place. No TV in the suite. I actually loved this part but my husband not so much. Also added to how quiet it is. They’re very attentive making sure you get in OK, particularly because we arrived after hours. Their tasting is definitely worth incorporating into your stay. The wine is great and we had the opportunity to sit and chat with the owner and that was a really nice experience! CONS: Coffee. They provide you a serving of coffee prepped the night before. I’m used to unlimited when staying in hotels but they were pleased to provide extra. Breakfast pastries. They do not have a kitchen onsite, also surprising and not clear when booking. Luckily, not a big deal for us because they have great recommendations that are 10mins away so we got to try some cute local spots! Otherwise, stock up on leftovers or snacks throughout your stay because there’s not much else out there. That’s also how we got the incredible views but no concierge or front desk 24/7. Their hours are 10-4 and they do have a phone number to reach them but something important to know ahead of time. Again, would recommend! These were simply things that were important to us, but might not be for others. 🍷“

“Pike Road is an amazing tasting room on 3rd Street in McMinnville! If you haven’t tried it yet, do yourself a favor and go. My friends are wine club members there and I’m so grateful. Each time we go, Dane, Mike, and anyone else working that day, are friendly, fun, informative, inquisitive, and caring. They pass on their knowledge and love for wine just by having simple, easygoing conversations with their guests. Thank you, Pike Road! See you again soon, I hope! 🥰💜🍷🍇“
