Out of an entire day, J.K. Carriere stood head and shoulders above every other winery we visited.Spectacular views, wonderful wines, and the hospitality was exceptional. Thank you Tim!

Jim is a down-to-earth guy who knows his stuff. There is no pretentious attitude or snobbery here.

Beautiful winery! I loved this place. Came here with my family that was visiting from Sweden and they loved it as well. You should look over the staff though....we came in with a group of 11 people and the lady that greeted us had a T-shirt that said "screw it" and my father-in-law said that he liked it, whereas she responded-"yeah that's kinda how I felt when you guys walked in". This kept going though out our entire visit, never said anything about the wine, had no recommendations and completely tried to ignore us and our questions! Horrible service from the Brooklyn bound lady! Ps when we asked for water, she replied "you'll have to wait, I'm busy right now and it's gonna be lukewarm from the tap.

Their tasting room is off the beaten path but is a must visit for lovers of pure, intensely delicious pinot noir!
Great wine, wonderful staff, and a beautiful winery.

Though this winery is off the beaten path, you can find it if you simply follow the directions on their website, and you will be rewarded with excellent wine, excellent view, and excellent service. The sister of the winemaker was pouring our tastes, and was a wealth of information about their wines and the area in general. We are glad we made the extra effort to visit them, and I would definitely recommend a visit to this winery to taste their great wines.

We scheduled a tasting visit at JK Carriere with Linda Crabtree, who was an excellent host for an incredible wine tasting experience. My wife and I had visited this winery 6 years ago, and loved their wines. This trip we brought 2 other couples, and thought that they would enjoy JK Carriere as much as we did on our first visit to the Willamette Valley. And, they did! Linda did an excellent job educating us on their wines, and on the history of this winery. Their wines are incredible...and the winery is a really beautiful place to visit, as well. If you like fine, reasoanably priced wine, give JK Carrier a try.

After deciding to make a trip to Oregon to visit wineries, we asked the sommelier at the top-rated local restaurant (The Refectory in Columbus) for recommendations. This was his top choice. We were not disappointed. As we would be in the area on Monday, my husband contacted the winery in advance. The tasting room was closed, but Jim (owner and winemaker) agreed to meet with us to explain the chemistry of pinot. The personal tour was amazing. Sitting with the winemaker is just not something you can usually experience. We joined the wine club (not all Oregon wines can be shipped to Ohio) and are looking forward to our first shipment! While we were without kids, they definitely would have enjoyed this visit. The vineyards are beautiful. The porches are very comfortable with a gorgeous view. There were even toys and games in the tasting room to keep kids busy. The drive to the vineyard is beautiful as well.

We went in today and were the only ones in the tasting room so we got excellent service from Leo. He was amazing and super knowledgeable. Very passionate about the entire process. The white Pinot is delish! Great views too!
Very kool and picturesque.
