50 Best Wine Bars near Milwaukie

“My first time here...drove from Salem, and it was well worth the trip! Excellent service, food, entertainment and atmosphere. I had the spicy garlic shrimp appetizer and a Caesar salad. Both excellent. I will definitely be back!“

“No exaggeration - THE BEST SOURDOUGH CRUST PIZZA. Some places say they have it, this place actually lets you taste it. It’s strong and punchy and I cannot wait to get more.

We had a very romantic albeit cozy dinner before a movie next door. We were lucky to score a table on a Saturday evening and have the most fun server! The special was super unique, featuring grilled peaches & prosciutto. We omitted the meat for my vegetarian husband, but next time, I’d recommend any vegetarian sub it for something salty to balance the sweetness.“

“Amazing holiday dinner experience! This dinner from start to finish, along with the wonderful service, is one of the best dinner experiences we have had in a while! Relay impressed.“

“I live in the Roseway Neighborhood, I have lived here for 14 years, and have loved every year. This Year, I am excited as many new dining options have appeared, and they are good. Parallel Food and Drink, is one of the best. I have been 4 times now, and am already looking forward to my next visit. The team is amazing, the wine is amazing, the food is amazing, and did I say the team is amazing? Run, don't walk, you won't regret a moment spent here.“

“Dinner was amazing. Staff was amazing. just AMAZING. My son took me as a surprise while visiting him from FL. Thank you for making this moment for us. 5 star!“

“I wish I'd known about this place sooner! Nice wine selections, delicious snack - the salted rosemary focaccia with tomato jam was terrific! Chanelle and Haru were welcoming hostesses, and the place was a very comfortable place to just hang & enjoy being where I was. I'll definitely be recommending it to friends, and I'm looking forward to my next visit!“

“Twice now I’ve eaten at Ox. I came back for the Clam Chowder with Smoked Bone Marrow as it left such a lasting impression. This time, we tried the Skirt Steak with the Radicchio & Romaine Salad. It was a 10/10! Most excellent meal. We also sat at the grille where all the steaks and chops were being prepared, and we loved feeling part of the process. Can't wait to bring family!“

“❤️Focaccia: w/ Tomato Chili Butter ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
- Easily our favorite dish of the night
- Tasted almost like a rosso pizza in the best way
- Rich, savory, slightly spicy butter with super comforting bread
- I so wish this was a permanent item

Fennel and Olive Salad, Oregano Oil, Fried Chickpeas ⭐⭐⭐✨
- Fresh and bright but didn’t really stand out
- The fennel and olives were nice together, just not especially memorable

Grilled Beets, Bagnet Vert, Parm ⭐⭐⭐⭐
- Really good balance of earthy + sharp flavors
- The parm and sauce worked well with the beets
- Great dish, just not quite “obsessed” level
- loves the vert

Torta Caprese, Cherry Zabaglione, Espresso ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
- probably Incredible with red wine
- Rich chocolate + espresso flavors without being too heavy
- definitely needs red wine or it'll dry out your mouth“

“We celebrated my husband’s birthday here and what a treat! Our server was phenomenal and helped us make great choices for amazing food + wine pairings. The chef also accommodated my food allergies with ease. Highly recommend! We plan to return very soon.“

“Went here as a early Mother’s Day treat with my daughter. Had the sample plate…. So delicious and we learned we liked it all! Also got a sundae….. totally recommend. For take home I got the cookies. This place is a gem! Stop by and check it out for sure if you are ever in the area.“

“Warning! Feral's delicious food may convert you to veganism. My husband and I are not vegan, or even vegetarian, but we have dined at Feral three times in the past couple of months. We used to walk right past, not realizing that plant-based cuisine could truly be as or more flavorful and satisfying than dishes using animal products. I also like that they change up their menu, which will encourage us to keep coming back to see what they are up to. The folks in the kitchen really know what they are doing; I wish they would publish a cookbook! Some outstanding dishes we have tried: focaccia with tomatoes (best we have had) summer squash fettucini, cavatelli with eggplant, little gem salad, cucumber tostada, and a ravioli type dish with a yummy French green sauce. The cocktails and service are also great. I highly recommend Feral to all hungry diners, vegan or not.“

“Play there For the Saturday open mic.As The Ten'N' Ben band we have nothing shy of an awesome night.Come & join in.Either play a gig,listen while sitting amongst the audience,or Both.Hosted every third Saturday by Kirsten.Very welcoming atmosphere.“

“Dynamite. Great crust that's a blend of crispy but soft under the immediate toppings so when you eat it the temp is what wrecks the top of your mouth but then you don't chop it up with the too crisp crust shards. Sauce is lovely, hint of orange. Quality cut meats and veggies. Come here and eat this pie.“

“I make it a point to visit Canard Burnside on all of my trips to Portland! The unique flavors and presentations on their menu keep me coming back for more. Had the roasted beets last night for the first time and the flavor was out of this world.“

“Highly recommended! This place is great!“

“Hands down my favorite restaurant. Everything about it from the staff to the vibes to the food is nothing short of amazing. I love that the menu changes every so often as it gives an almost new experience every time. Couldn’t recommend this restaurant enough!!“

“I had a fantastic experience here. The Vietnamese food was delicious (especially the peppery spring roll) but the service I received from Davey made it really outstanding. He curated a really well chosen wine flight & his wine and food recommendations were superb. He even took the time to wish me safe travels at the end of his shift. Grateful thanks to Davey & can 100% recommend to any wine & Asian food lovers!“

“I love this place! Such great selections on their rotating list, and amazing food to boot“

“Great wine, great service, veri nice staff! PS. Sommelier team from Romania!“

“If you are a wine connoisseur this is quite the find. It's a tiny shop located out of the way but their selection of wines is good and their prices are very competitive. The two owners are there almost all of the time... Easy going and good conversationalist. You won't want to miss this one.“

“Very friendly and accommodating staff from the hostess, who seated us to the servers. The happy hour menu is quite delicious and many items to choose from including delicious cocktails! I will definitely be coming back and highly recommend!!“

“Delicious wine and tapas and specials. They serve sangria too. One of our favorite spots in Portland. Definitely check out this place if you haven’t because you won’t be disappointed.“

“New favorite wine spot. As somebody who doesn't know a lot about wine, the opportunity to purchase some stranger and sometimes more limited items by the glass is wonderful. The menu formula encourages guests to talk with others about what they are drinking. I loved the atmosphere and the hosts, this is now without a doubt my favorite PDX wine spot.“

“there are few places in portland to drink actually beautiful natural wine with sexy people. you want to find a new crush? you want to drink something where your heart explodes? you want to watch five people kiss? you can have it all.

staff are helpful and insightful without being cagey or snobs. also a plus they actually know what they’re talking about. for anyone who wants a cheeky drink solo, bring your new flirt, or join the collection of bar flies that share bottles for many hours across the bar. a gem and sacred place in the city, i love it here“

“I stopped by this place on a week day afternoon, and Stefan was very welcoming. I'm not super knowledgeable on the different types and flavor profiles, and he helped me choose some really nice wines. The overall vibe was very unpretentious and comfortable, and the conversation with Stefan was interesting. I got to learn a little bit about the different wines and production processes while I sipped. The Willamette Valley 2024 Pinot Noir was my favorite as someone that prefers red wines, but I was really surprised how much I ended up liking the white pinot noir. Definitely worth a visit!“

“My wife and I come here for special occasions and last night we celebrated her birthday! As always, the service was excellent, food was impeccable, atmosphere was cozy, and a very enjoyable experience. It is a small place which only adds to the intimacy of service and atmosphere. The owner is a great guy who is very knowledgeable in all his dishes and wines which were incredible as well! We love C'est Si Bon and will continue to come here everytime we want to celebrate something at a special place!“

“It’s always a warm & friendly time at Will’s place. He is a master of recommending wines you’ll like. The food is divine. Cheers to Will & Danielle! 🥂🍾“

“Super cute wine bar! If you like wine, stop by and see what they are pouring that day. Also, they don't really have food. So if you want a full meal, eat before going here. I gave the food 4 stars, because they don't serve meals. You can get nuts, bread, and one other item (I forgot what it is).“

“Amazing spot! I had the pleasure of enjoying an awesome glass of wine while talking with the owner Eric (apologies if I got this wrong!). They’ve been open for a little over a year and deserve all the love from the neighborhood!

Very homey spot, good beer/wine selections and great staff! Will be back very soon.“

“So, I went to this place called Forte Portland just to check it out. I ended up getting a coffee, but it was completely silent in there. Not a single person was around, which was kind of relaxing, I guess. There's a piano there, but no one was playing it. And get this, the person working the counter was practically asleep when I walked up. I'm guessing it's not exactly a popular place during the day. Maybe it turns into a nice bar or something later at night.“

“Stopped by Bar Diane on a Sunday and absolutely loved it. We had the $2 oyster special, which were fresh and delicious, along with some tinned fish that paired perfectly with our sparkling wine. Sundays are a great deal here with 20% off sparkling wines, making it even better. Cozy vibe, great bites, and excellent value — definitely a spot worth checking out.“

“Great date-night vibes. Loved the simple menu (I get overwhelmed when there are many options) and intimate feel. My music-snob date enjoyed the tunes, and I enjoyed the romantic lighting, great wine, and variety of seating options (private spots, window seats, tucked-away tables, bar seating). Love that it's not just one big room. Bathroom was clean. Bartender was kind and low-key. 10/10.“

“Loved it, fun wines that are less commonly seen but really nicely curated. Staff is awesome, industry vets that really care and are great to chat with and happy to put you into a glass that fits what you’re looking for at the moment. Will absolutely be back.“

“Really nice space serving charcuterie plates, sandwiches, and some other small plates. Full bar as well. Really enjoyed our visit. Waiter was a bit short and to the point , not super friendly so knock off one star. But overall id certainly recommended.“

“I popped in here for the first time several months ago for lunch and a glass of wine, and ended up having what could arguably be one of the best Italian cold cut sandwiches I’ve had in my life. Seriously, I wake up dreaming about that sandwich sometimes it’s so good. The pepper spread pulls it all together. My partner really enjoys the Cascadia Dip.

When it comes to their wine and beer selections, there is a lot to choose from. It’s a great place to take friends or family because there is something to suit everyone’s tastes. The service has been friendly every time, and the atmosphere is great. I feel like they did a great job maximizing their space without crowding tables so close together you’re bumping elbows with strangers. Amazing spot to try out if you’re in the area!“

“1000 stars. Definitely our local. Always take friends from out of town - everyone falls in love with it like we did the first time. Christopher, Kai and Arlan have become family. Oh, and try wine list is spectacular as are the snacks ❤️❤️“

“We recently held a family event at Battle Creek Cellars in Portland, and thanks to Jenny, in particular, and the whole staff in general, it was an amazing experience. Thank you one and all!“

“Home for live Music featuring talented players.“

“Best place for beer in the area!!! AJ, best Beertender ever!“

“Went here before my meal at Luce and was so impressed with the vibes and the wine— this is a great little spot while you wait for a table. It has some delicious affordable options for wine and also some fab expensive options!
service and dinner at Luce was excellent too. Perfect date night.“

“Delicious wines paired with fresh sweet oysters and Pinot noir mignonette…. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ check out their wine tour too! Wine tasting from 9-5!“

“I stopped by this wine tasting room while visiting from out of town and honestly, I didn’t want to leave. The space is so warm and inviting. It immediately felt like the kind of spot I’d be a regular at if I lived nearby. Cozy, charming, and perfect for a laid-back evening or a quiet date night.

The wine selection was fabulous. I tried a few different pours and loved what I tried. And the food was absolutely delicious without trying too hard.

What really made the experience special was the staff. They were so kind and attentive. Friendly in a genuine way, not just polite. It felt like they really wanted me to enjoy myself, and I did.

I truly wish I lived closer. This would be my go-to spot. Until next time!“

“Tried the classic cold sandhwich and was blown away. Every ingredient in it, especially the meat and bread, was too quality. Very nice customer service and chill atmosphere. Only complaint is the limited hours they're open! Also tried my friend's cubano and while it was also delish we both thought it could use a little less ground mustard since it's so strong. Would definitely eat here again!“

“Great atmosphere, great service. Exclusivity!!“

“Down home cool. Not a bad wine in the place. Jill does her homework.“

“Excellent food and drinks!“

“Amazing cocktails, decor and bartenders.“

“My wife and I got married at this wine bar late last Summer and it was the best day ever. Jack, Stephanie AND Cassi were the best hosts and we’ll always be grateful for the experience they provided us in their lovely space.

We revisited the wine bar this weekend and had a lovely time reminiscing over our previous time in the space while sipping delicious wine, nibbling crackers and cheese and of course engaging with the staff, Elijah and Connor. They were welcoming, charming, knowledgable and attentive. We were happy to hear that Jack was enjoying a well deserved day off ;-)

Always good wine and a lovely time at Backcountry Wine Bar. That’s why it’s our favorite!“

“Great pho with better than most cuts of meat. My wife got the pad thai and said she enjoyed it very much. Would recommend to friends. They were also very nice to my 2.5 year old daughter and were considerate enough to bring a small bowl for her to share some of our food with.“

“Had two really nice wines here perfect for summer: a sparkling rose brut and a nice chilled red wine. The team running Yours Truly is amazing. I was helped by two different people and they did a wonderful job describing the different wines and tasting notes. Theyd hear my preferences and make a great rec. Loved both glasses I had here. Theres outdoor and indoor seating. Very cute aesthetic. Did not try the food but ill be back again to try more food and some snacks next time.“
