This is a wonderful winery with a very welcoming atmosphere. Every wine included in the tasting was excellent, and the charcuterie board was generous, beautifully varied, and delicious. As a special bonus, we enjoyed seeing llamas strolling near the winery and truly appreciated the owners giving us the opportunity to feed them—it was such a unique and memorable experience.
We are also very grateful to the lovely and friendly staff member who guided us through the wine tasting and shared insights about each wine. Her warmth and knowledge made the visit even more enjoyable.

We had a great experience getting helped by Noha! We even had a couple bottles break that we flew home with and they replaced them for us without issue.

Small winery up the street from the Allison. The facilities here were quaint, but the wine was excellent. Sean took care of us, and he had great knowledge of the wine they served, and even knew where each thing came from on their charcuterie board.
The charcuterie board was also amazing. 100x better than what I am used to out in Hawaii.
Excellent service, great atmosphere, excellent wine, excellent food. Easy 5* rating from me 🤙🏻

I attended my girlfriend's husband memorial gathering at this winery. It was the perfect afternoon, to spend time with her family and friends who came to enjoy memories of her husband. Beautiful grounds and location. Great wine and charcuterie fare for this event. Will definitely return for other enjoyable afternoons.

We had a wonderful experience here. Sean did an excellent job of sharing about the wines and keeping us entertained. We really liked the wines and the variety offered, to the point that we brought several bottles home. Price is comparable to other wineries in the area but comes with bonus tastes in addition to the listed ones. We will definitely be back!

It was my first time visiting Rain Dance, and I came on a second date 😉 — what a perfect setting! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with breathtaking scenery that makes you want to linger. It’s the kind of place that truly enhances the company you're with. The wine was exceptional — you can genuinely taste the care and health-conscious practices that go into every bottle. A special shoutout to Kathy, our hostess — she was so welcoming and fun to chat with! Her energy added so much to the experience. Can’t wait to come back!

Rain Dance Vineyards delivered one of the most memorable tastings we’ve ever had. Katie was so welcoming and knowledgeable—it felt like visiting family by the end. Matt, the GM, even came out to share stories about their locally sourced charcuterie board, which was delicious. My husband, who never eats olives, was shocked to find himself enjoying three of them thanks to their thoughtful pairings!
The wines were fantastic, the atmosphere warm and genuine, and the handmade Christmas bell ornament we purchased was such a special keepsake. The only thing that could have topped it off would have been smooches from the adorable llamas. Tremendous job, Rain Dance team—thank you for going above and beyond. We look forward to enjoying every bottle we brought home!
Kelly and her team did it again! What a nice pickup party today… Truly an amazing experience.🍷 cheers 🥂

We enjoyed the location, live music, fire pit, and outdoor ambience. Didn't feel the tasting price is fair, but we aren't local and where we are from the tasting prices are far less than in Oregon. Wines were good. A bit too dry for our taste. Pricey. But nice. Staff were very friendly and attentive.

Amazing vineyard. Ken, Zach, and Corwyn made this an incredible experience for us as we traveled in specifically for this vineyard. Great wine and customer service. Couldn't speak more highly of this establishment and recommend that anyone in the area visit here.

Made reservations a couple weeks in advance of our visit. Provided credit card to prepay for mom and sister and me. Got to tasting and Ron was our server. The wines we were offered were terrible. One of the worst tastings ever. All three of us choked down first two my sister dumped one and we were never offered dump bucket as if that’s insult. The third tasting I left in the glass and we waited so long in between. The clue is if someone is leaving essentially the full tasting in a glass they don’t want it. Ron was too busy with other people who obviously were big spenders. We were one of three groups and there were other people serving others too. No idea why we spent almost two hours there. My sister purchased a bottle out of pity. It was the best of the horrible. When she went to purchase Ron asked how the tastings needed to be charged and my sister said oh well my sister already paid and he said oh no we don’t charge the credit card. I thought that was unusual because everywhere else charged the cards when we booked ahead. Then on top of that the tastings were 5 dollars more a piece. There was no way we were each buying 3 bottle a piece to save on tasting fee. I even have the email stating 30 each not 35. The worst experience of our entire weekend. Oh and they had awful yellow jacket problem with them swarming.

We were staying nearby and decided to stop by. We did not have a reservation but the website said "advanced reservations encouraged", not required. We showed up about 1.25 hours before closing on a Wednesday. There was a tasting happening outside so we waited inside for about 15 minutes. No one acknowledged us in any way. There were at least 2 staff members on site and other than the 2 guests doing their tasting, there were no other patrons. I don't know if it's a Willamette Valley trait or a product of COVID but the idea that we are unwelcome intruders if we haven't made an advanced reservation just did not sit well with us. We would have been happy to simply purchase a glass or bottle of wine and learn a little about the property if they were unable to do a full tasting but to be utterly ignored was shocking.
