“I love their coffee. I go there as often as I can. The ladies are always nice and friendly“
“We loved our experience at WillaKenzie. Our wine tasting host, Diane did an excellent job giving us just enough history and background of the winery and winemaker to make it interesting. The Pinots were delicious, plus we tasted a wonderful Chardonnay as well. The property is lovely and recently updated to make it look very exclusive but approachable as are their wines. This winery is a little farther north but absolutely worth the trip!“
“Great wine and a beautiful property with a lovely tasting room and gorgeous ponds and gardens. You couldn’t ask for a better setting to sit and enjoy a glass of wine. Adam was so friendly and accommodating to our group which included several kids. We had a fantastic experience and I would recommend Saffron Fields to anyone.“
“Great staff, great food, great atmosphere. GLUTEN FREE DELICIOUSNESS“

“I’m so happy to have a reasonably priced Italian food restaurant in McMinnville!! The food was amazing. To good to get pictures before we started eating it. My family and I got the steak bites, cheese bread, mushroom raviolis and a pepperoni pizza. They were all amazing and the service was great as well.“
“We spent a week with another couple in Willamette Valley tasting wines at 20 different wineries, and Penner-Ash was definitely one of our top three favorite tastings!
The weather was perfect for us to enjoy tasting wine on the deck in the sunshine and with beautiful views of the winery and surrounding mountains. Our host Joseph was very knowledgeable about each wine presented, and answered all of our questions with ease. To top off the experience, we purchased an additional bottle of wine to enjoy with our picnic lunch in the grove at the winery. We enjoyed so many of the wines that we decided to have some shipped home, which arrived a few days after we returned, in perfect condition. If you are planning a trip to Willamette Valley wine tasting, this is a place that represents superb Oregon wines (12 single vineyards Pinot's, as well as great Sauvignon Blanc and Rose) and should be on everyone's list!“
“Winter Hills Estate Winery has become one of our favourite places to visit. My partner and I have been here multiple times, and every visit has been such a wonderful experience.
The wine quality is exceptional, the views are absolutely beautiful, and the team is always so warm, friendly, and welcoming. What really stands out to us, though, is how authentic the experience feels. It’s clear that they genuinely care about producing great wine and creating a memorable experience for every guest.
They’ve created such a consistently enjoyable experience for us that we find ourselves looking forward to coming back every couple of months. It’s one of those places where you leave already thinking about your next visit.
Highly recommend Winter Hills Estate Winery if you’re looking for exceptional wine, incredible views, and a genuinely welcoming experience. 🍷“
“Love the scenery, the vineyards, setting, the choice in wines, friendly knowledgeable staff, and they are so friendly to my pug dog, Pancake!! Always take a different bottle home!!“
“We were visiting from Va and meeting a college friend. This is her favorite winery. It’s off the beaten path but IT IS SO WORTH THE TRIP!!! It’s beautiful, wines are great and Nick our server was amazing!!! When we showed up they had no power but no worries! Nick had it under control! We weren’t sure what we wanted and he was very kind in helping us decide with a few tastes before committing to the 100% Cabernet for me and Reserve Pinot for my friend and my husband. Both wines were great!!!!. I also tasted the sparklings. Love the Sparkling Rose and the Blanc de Blanc. Of course we had to have pictures and Nick was very patient. I was thinking about joining and Nick was great to help me pick the plan best for what I liked.
The Owner is an artist and he picks one of his paintings for the labels of the bottles. Beautiful work.
This is a must stop on your winery tour!!!!“
“Great view and friendly staff. The facility is airy and nicely decorated. Sadly, the wine we tasted was underwhelming, and we didn't like any of them. We really wanted to like something, but didn't taste anything good to our taste. Hope others have different opinions“
“What an amazing recommendation from NW Wine Shuttle and Kim. We squeezed them in and it ended up being my favorite part of the day! Spending time with Russell and the heart and story of Flaneur gave me a little bit of Paris married with delicious wine of the Willamette Valley. I cannot wait to return for food pairing and getting the most our of my new membership and reason to head to quaint Carlton from Portland as much as I can and recommending others as well as clients. What a great stop, don't miss it.“
“Wow, such wonderful Pinot Noir. We fell in love with the Elk Cove Pinot we stumbled upon while at Albertsons and had to try the wines at the vineyard. We were not disappointed.
Wonderful hospitality and delicious wines.“
“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!“
“This winery was absolutely amazing. From the at home vibe, the gorgeous view, and the taste of the wine, we could not have asked for a better experience. Tenise was incredible, telling us all about the history of the vineyard and explaining all there was to know about the wine, she made our trip and experience one to remember. Maxwell was also amazing, telling us his personal history as a family member and walking us through the vineyard and spending time with us. if you want beautiful views, delicious wine and amazing people, this is the place to go! Thank you Tenise and Maxwell for making out experience one to remember!“
“As always we had a great time sampling some fantastic whiskeys, yummy snacks, AND we got a couple of “fly bys” from the Thunderbirds during our stay this afternoon! (Thanks, McMinnville Air Show!) The owners and staff at BP are attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. And the whiskey is really good! We’re been several times and will continue to return! Thanks BP for another amazing experience!! Y’all rock!! 😉❤️“
“Had a great experience this past Tuesday while out in the valley for a Wine & Spirits conference. As retailers who already carry a broad array of Lemelson wine, we already new the quality level of what was in the bottle, but the depth of knowledge the duo of Josie & Devin provided, it really created a total experience. There’s nothing that beats tasting Stermer Vineyard Pinot Noir while standing in Stermer Vineyard.
Highly recommend for anyone staying around Newberg or in the Yamhill Carlton or Dundee area.“
“Very laid back with old school pricing. Love their whites and Rose. They’re sold out of Sauvignon Blanc. Great deal and atmosphere although just off the highway.“
“Elevated Farm and Forage for the WIN !! had an amazing intimate dinner with 3 other couples right in the Kitchen with the head chef Jesus Nater. It was truly and experience that I will never forget and the food and wine pairings were top notch! Special Thanks to Sara and the rest of the Sokol Blosser Team for such great evening.“
“Went to the recent event at the winery, it was great! Good wine, and the staff was marvelous as always. The food was good, enjoyed it. But it was-is not appropriate for wine tasting. I do not understand the current trend of wineries inviting mexican food carts to wine tasting events. The food style tends to mess up ones palete. Beer or soda go great with Mexican food. Or possibly a huge red, but not the refined Pinot Noir and whites of the Willamette Valley.“
“This place was absolutely wonderful! The vibes were amazing from the moment we arrived. As someone who’s sober, I really appreciated that they offered a delicious non-alcoholic blueberry lemon spritzer and it was so refreshing!
The live music created the perfect atmosphere, and the R & R food truck did not disappoint. I had the Impossible Smash Burger, and I’ll definitely be ordering that again.
There are plenty of games to keep both kids and grown-up kids entertained, plus the views are absolutely gorgeous. The bathrooms were clean, parking was easy, and the scenic drive out was worth every minute.
Can’t wait to come back!“
“What a cute place! The tastijg room was not prepared to receive a large party although reservations were made in advance but the market place was cute and cozy. Durant is a national brand and we were able to sample various oils and spices.
The tiny concord grapes I purchased were sweet and packed with flavor. The grounds were pretty with plants, wines and gnomes available for purchase.
They bake bread and baguettes onsite and the smell will have you pulling out your money to purchase.
Be careful- i purchased some Black Garlic Sea Salt to take home and it triggered a long delay at the airport and they tested it for drugs. I was finally able to get to security but barely made my flight😉.
I should have shipped it!
Outside seating was beautiful, quaint and cozy. It is worth a visit. The skyline including the view of the mountains was worth the trip!“
“Cellar Door Wine Tours took us to Tendril Wine Cellars first on our 3-winery tour and warned us we'd like it best. We truly did. Each wine was delicious. I'm an Oregon pinot noir fan and they make great ones, but also loved their white pinot noir and rose. Tasting manager Andrew was delightful and kept us both informed and laughing! The tasting room is very small, but they also have outside picnic tables for warmer months. Make an appointment and enjoy! I signed up for the wine club as I enjoyed every sip.“
“Wines that are a good mix of displaying typical Oregon pinot fruit, but with enough restraint to let the complexity shine through.“
“Good variety of wines with a wine maker that has great passion for his work.“
“Would highly recommend visiting this tasting room. We last visited in about 2019 and the renovations they made are definitely upscale but comfortable. Likewise, the tasting room manager, Charles, was very knowledgeable about the entire Oregon wine industry and made our tasting here memorable.“

“The BEST Thai food in Salem! We love going here for lunch, the woman is so nice and texting our order is super convenient! Great service �“
“We are on a girls trip to Willamette Valley and came across this beautiful vineyard on our way home from day trip at the coast. Although it was close to closing time, we decided to at least drive up to check out the gorgeous view. We were met by Kevin who graciously offered a short tour and told us the history of the vineyard and winery. We had time for a quick glass which was generously comped. The Pinot Noir and Rose were delicious. Thankful we found this hidden gem and for their amazing hospitality!!“
“Incredible experience. Had the place to ourselves on a Thursday afternoon. Ray the manager of Craft guided us through the tasting and even gave us some extra wines to try as well. He was charming and gregarious and made the whole experience even more enjoyable. If your in North Willamette you need to go to Craft, a definite must stop in Carlton“

“Great downtown tasting room with beautiful outdoor and indoor tasting areas. We enjoyed our tasting at Ken Wright Cellars which is located at the old train depot in Carlton. Wines are very nice and our wine educator was excellent. The location draws a lot of walk-ins but we never felt crowded or neglected. Each tasting is waived with a $100 purchase. We enjoyed the wine and therefore purchased $200+ to have the fees waived. The owner and winemaker Ken Wright has years of experience in the industry. He buys excellent fruit and in turn produces excellent wine. Definitely worth a visit when in Carlton or nearby.“
“We really enjoyed our time at Archery Summit. We had a group of about 10 people including an infant. The staff was very helpful when we had a last minute change of guest count. The tasting was delicious along with the snacks and bites we had. We are members as well from the east coast, so it is always great to visit such a beautiful property and experience the winery in person!“
“My friend and I had a terrific time last weekend at Laurel Ridge. Channel (sp) was our host and guided us through their wines. We loved ALL the wines we tasted and the charcuterie platter was terrific! Channel was knowledgeable not only about the wines but the wine region in general so we learned a lot! Highly recommended.“
“My husband introduced me to Torii Mor during my first ever wine tasting experience back in 2008. Since then, we've come on and off for the last 18 years (with some time off during our early parenting years, as well as during the height of the pandemic). We now try to visit about once-a-quarter. The thing I love most about the winery is that it's the kind of place you can go to sip a glass of wine, or do a tasting, in relative peace and quiet - this is not a place where the influencer crowd visits. I don't drink often, but when I do, I prefer a glass of Torii Mor. Over the decades they've managed to create consistently good wines across all their varieties (special mention to their Old Vine Chardonnay... there's something magical about it, as it's the only Chardonnay I like).
You can't beat the views, either: whether it's sitting out on the back deck and looking out at the Willamette Valley during sunny days, watching the foliage change and fall during the autumn, or cozying up in their indoor tasting room during the rainy season, the location high up in the hills offers something year-round. The mood, ambiance, and wine all make for an experience where you can get clarity to a question that's been on your mind, or have a good conversation (philosophical or otherwise) with a friend or loved one. And if you ever want to talk wine, you can always find good company with Nicolas (Torii Mor's resident wine expert).“

“I had my first visit just this last week and I was really happy to see what a great, healthy and delicious menu it has! 100% rating on all flavors! Chicken kebab, Moroccan mint tea, Mezza sampler and the chicory salad all have high quality ingredients. The value of that for me is why I can enjoy dining out these days. Not just a menu of burgers and fries or tacos that are easy to make at home. I will keep Cypress on my top list of local restaurants worth returning too! The service level of quality management is very enjoyable.“

“We have been dropping in to the Horse Radish for lunch in Carlton many times over the last 10+ years . We stopped by today, and decided we neeed to let people know how good it is. They have the most delicious sandwiches anywhere. I had Carlton Ham on ciabatta bread with bacon and fig jam--perfection! A half sanwich with a half salad and a glass of wine was the perfect lunch. Loved it!“

“Berts chuckwagon is some of the better barbecue we have around here. Trouble is in the northwest we just don’t have a lot of barbecue. I feel like the sides are what really shine. His ribs are good. They do it smoked style but they are pretty tough and dry and that’s what happens when you smoke ribs. Mine are like 10 times better in the oven and so juicy they fall off the bone. He’s a nice guy and the prices are moderate for what they offer portions are pretty generous. I’ve eaten here multiple times when I didn’t feel like cooking. Will probably come back again. But I do prefer to make my own barbecue over berts.“
“This winery is so beautiful!!! Location is absolutely stunning with amazing views, staff was very friendly and the wine was delicious! A must stop when in the area. I recommend making a reservation so you have a guarantee table for your tasting 🍷“

“I moved to Mcminnville in January of 2025. I began frequenting the Dutch Bros 100 yards from my driveway!😁 The morning staff is without a doubt the most kind, caring, friendly, fun staff there is. I began to have a bunch of health issues and couldn't visit for a couple months. The warm welcome back was just what I needed. Your staff has laughed with me, listened to my troubles, comforted me after learning of the loss of my 15 yo granddaughter, and celebrated with me as if they were my family! Bravo! You've hired some of the best Broistas on the planet! I am blessed just to know them! This staff needs to be protected at all costs! The world is a better place because they are in it. You guys are truly AMAZING! Always and always, I will have a special place in my heart for every one of you🦋💜🦋💜🦋💜🦋💜🦋 Love, Gigi😍“
“We rode our bikes up the hill to Youngberg and were met with the most lovely service there. The lady with the short blonde hair and tattoos (can’t remember her name) was so nice and accommodating. She provided us immediately with tall glasses of water and gave us time to cool down before recommending some fantastic wine. She also allowed us to enjoy the breathtaking views and offered to take pictures of us. I’m not sure if we’d recommend taking your bikes all the way up the hill for everyone, but it is well worth a stop no matter how you get there - for the views, the wine and especially the service.“

“This is country French cuisine. Plentiful and delicious. They take the comfort food preparation very seriously but true to Oregon, you can show in your Sunday best or jeans and feel comfortable. We celebrate We drive from Hillsboro a few times a year. The staff always warm and friendly. Just go, and make it a special drive date.“

“Must start with full disclosure--my wife, Sunshine and I have never been there--BUT, having just completed an AMA waterways wine cruise in France we met wonderful people from Stoller, including Gary Mortensen who presented wine tasting of their excellent wines and enthusiastic, humorous lectures. We sampled many great French wines on this cruise, but none topped the Stoller chardonnays we tasted. The Stoller Family Estate is definitely on our "bucket list". We also met Bill Stoller's lovely sister, Nancy. We tasted a wine Bill named after her and it was to die for! Thanks Stoller for sending your lively group on our cruise. I'm sure when we finally visit, you'll earn this five star rating! Say hi to Gary and Nancy for us.“

“Celebrated 'moving to McMinnville day' with three other adults. One of us had this establishment recommended to him .. the recommendation was spot on. Grain Station is conveniently located in McMinnville, (but honestly, I have yet to find a place that's not cunveniently located in McMinnville.). We had plenty of parking to choose from. The facilities are very attractive with lots of light and tastefully warm colors and decor that puts you at ease the moment you walk in. We were greeted promptly and warmly by the staff and seated instantly in a booth with anchored benches. Our seats rocked back and forth a bit, like a swing chair. It wasn't bad but I wasn't sure if that was by design or an actual malfunction
The menu was extensive and very well presented and featured a cowboy / western flair with lots of options from salads, to a variety of appetizing sandwiches, burgers, pizzas, meatloaf, steak, fish and chips, and even steak. The sides are appropriate and numerous.
The food was very tasty. I had the cowboy brisket sandwich and it was delicious, though a touch on the fatty side. Others had maple bacon burger and waxed poetic about it. A grilled herb chicken and meatloaf with gravy rounded out a very nice dinner. Service was prompt, consciousness, and spot on. Only reason I didn't give it five stars was that the portions were a touch on the tiny side.
Overall, highly recommend Grain Station Brew Works.

“Such a great wine tour and tasting! We had Eric as our guide and he was a wealth of knowledge (as well as a great photographer for group shots).They were very accommodating when we ran into some transportation issues too. The winery has such a cool history and amazing views! This is a must do when visiting the area!“
