“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!“
“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.“
“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.“
“A beautiful spot to enjoy a glass of wine & fresh creative food delicacy. A true special occasion destination.“
“Very nice tasting room in the heart of McMinnville. Katie had a nice table setup for our party. We started with some sparkling white wine. We had a wonderful wine tasting and we even bought some Pinot Noir. We highly recommend this winery to others.“
“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!“
“We received another case of your fabulous wines today. Megan gave us attentive service from start to finish.“
“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 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 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.“
“Tyler & Jonathan were an absolute blast at the tasting room. Great conversations and the wine is phenomenal - left with several bottles and a promise to return. Just a great vibe that should be experienced by all. If you couldn’t tell, we plan to return. 💕“
“Outstanding venue! No wonder folks have weddings here. Grounds are impeccable. Love the choices too - if you're not into wine, Ransom has a wonderful selection of spirits to sample. (we ended up buying the vermouth and gin!) The offered "Oregon platter" was enough of a snack for 3. We'll be back :-)“
“This place was a great find. First, wonderful staff. They don’t rush you. They explain their wines clearly, but without any semblance of pretension. They also pour you an actual tasting (those who have been to Napa will understand).
On a nice day, sitting outside is a given (the people watching is great, as you get to see the push and pull between young and old locals and odd tourists as they ramble in front of you).
The wines? Exceptional to good. Why no actual ratings? Simple. You choose for you. I am not doing the work, then finding out that you and I like different things. Trust me, the staff at this place will guide you and not push you to try different wines. They will also go out of their way to make sure you have a great time.
When you leave (hopefully, with a bottle), you will feel like you had an experience that is suggestive of the phrase: “Nice place, great people, good wine, and NOT Napa.”
Not that Napa is bad. But Jacob Williams could teach some of those Napa wineries a thing about producing a product to enjoy (at a price you will accept). And this location, in the midst of McMinnville, thrives because it has the staff to make it simple: sit, sip, enjoy, and buy if you want to do so. Trust me, at least one of their offerings will make it into your basket.
Napa? Did you hear me? By the way, Jacob Williams is closer to the vibe of Mondavi than Mondavi has been in decades.“
“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.“
“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 ???“
“Our visit to Youngberg Winery was truly one of the highlights of our Oregon trip—honestly one of our favorite experiences of the entire vacation! The property is absolutely breathtaking. The views are stunning, the grounds are beautiful, and we genuinely didn't want to leave.
Nicolette made this experience completely unforgettable. She was incredibly welcoming, attentive, and so knowledgeable. She took her time with us, making sure we had the best tasting experience and sharing so much about the wines and the property. She also took the most amazing photos for us that perfectly captured our visit, and we're so grateful to have those memories.
We can't thank Nicolette enough for making our visit so special. If you're anywhere near the Willamette Valley, this is an absolute must-visit. We already can't wait to come back!“

“My girlfriend and I had a wonderful time here. Robin (our wine tasting guide) did an excellent job of explaining all of the wines to us and was so much fun chatting with. She really knew the wines and how they were grown and did a wonderful job of explaining everything. We ended up leaving the tasting room with more wines to take home than we expected. A great experience and fun location!“
