“Very enjoyable visit and informative tour. Wonderful selection of beautiful wines to taste. Several of our group had never been to a tasting, so this was a special treat. Giancarlo took great care of us, including incorporating special snacks in the charcuterie board for our vegan friend. Thank you for a tasty and informative afternoon!“
“We had a wonderful tasting experience at Saffron, thanks to our host, Adam. He was the right amount of everything: attentive, funny, informative and so accommodating. Our wine purchase was mixed up and Adam went out of his way to make it right. That’s the kind of customer satisfaction that is so hard to find!
We will definitely be back and bring friends!!“
“The owners were fantastic, and so were the wines! We were on our way back from Cedar Hill to McMinville, and based off of other Google reviews decided to stop at Kason Vineyards for some wine tasting. It's a small operation owned by a husband & wife who are incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. Their wines are superb, especially their pinot noir! This is a MUST VISIT if you're in the area!“
“The wine tasting experience here was incredible. The staff were so friendly! They offer a nice range of red and white wines. I bought a few bottles and can’t wait to try more. I also recommend getting the cheese board - it was a nice touch throughout the tasting experience!“
“We're wine club members and have been here often. Always enjoy tastings at Alexana, but this was especially delightful. Wonderful host who helped us compare the vintages and the vineyards. We sat outside overlooking the vineyards, the January sun streaming in. Charcuterie was just right. Alexana wines are lovely.“
“Passionate and knowledgeable host, Joseph, did an incredible job showing us the ins and outs of all things Penner-Ash with a great attention to detail and a natural spirit for hospitality. He made our winter tasting experience incredibly special and we will certainly be back!“
“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.“
“This is by far one of the best wineries I’ve been to in Oregon! The views of Mt. Hood are absolutely stunning, and the overall atmosphere is immaculate. The owners are incredibly welcoming and made the whole experience even more enjoyable for me and my friends. Plus, they have the cutest dog! The wine and food were both fantastic, especially the Bulls Blend! I highly recommend this place if you're looking for a great wine-tasting experience in Oregon with friends or family.“
“We had such a wonderful time New Year's Eve at Elk Cove. Kohl was an awesome host for our noon wine tasting extravaganza! Love the Elk Cove family and thanks so much for sharing the beautiful view of the vineyard from your new tasting room!“

“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!!“
“Ghost Hill Cellars is one of the best places to visit in wine country. Not only do they have stunning views both inside the venue and out (and amazing sunsets), but their wine is delicious and all of their staff & the owner (Cam) are INCREDIBLE! They are personable and make you feel like family from the moment you get on their property.
I recently held a rehearsal dinner there and they were the easiest people to work with - we got the whole venue for 3 hours, they were flexible, their communication was quick and they always answered our questions + more, and the event went seamless. I couldn't have been luckier to score this venue to host my rehearsal dinner and everyone couldn't stop talking about how amazing it was!
11/10 recommend on having an event hosted here and/or visiting for wine tasting! We are obsessed and will definitely be back. :)“

“Recently became members after the first time we stopped by and wow this place is truly so beautiful and peaceful! The tastings are fabulous and I love how they host other events which gives it a social club feel. We were having such an amazing time we didn’t even realize how much time passed by! Highly recommend coming especially when they have the pizza to order! Great selection of rose and Pinot and amazing staff!“
“We had a great experience tasting at the winery today! The new spirits area is also really cool with a cozy vibe. The staff were all very friendly and knowledgeable, the wines and spirits were all lovely, and the view is gorgeous even on a rainy day like today. We will definitely be back again soon!“
“We had an absolute blast visiting Patricia Green Cellars! We were a group of four women who range in wine education and interest. I booked PGC because I'd heard that they'd have the best range of Pinot Noirs (Oregon's most famous grape) for the newbies in our group. We arrived at 3pm on the Friday of a long weekend. It was quiet when we arrived, but we were greeted with warm smiles and welcoming vibes. We were sat at a large table indoors, from which we enjoyed great 180 degree views. Yes, even from inside! Bottled water and a cheese plate were already laid out upon our arrival. Abigail was our server and wine educator. She was absolutely fantastic - amiable, humorous, and knowledgeable. She provided us THE BEST Oregon Wine 101 class and served a range of Pinots, allowing us to really understand the vastness of the Pinot grape. Moreover, she was just the best intro to the area. She gave us great recommendations on food, bars, and other wineries we might want to consider (while also telling us we'd planned well, lol).
We'd recommend PCG as a great place to start any Willamette Valley wine weekend!“
“A lovely family winery with incredible wines! I have been a club member now for many years and have enjoyed the consistent excellence of their wines as well as the lovely and peaceful setting with views of the coastal range while the sun goes down....“
“Great place to visit, relax, and sip some great wines.“
“Had a lot of fun doing a tasting at Knudsen Vineyards. The wine was wonderful and we enjoyed the charcuterie we purchased. The wine was served in beautiful Reidel red wine stemware. We were also given a bonus tasting and a chocolate to enjoy. The tasting fee is waived if you purchase two bottles during your visit or join their wine club.“
“This place is an absolute vibe. The staff is incredible and knowledgeable, and the semi private seating areas throughout the tasting room are quaint and cozy. Looking for a more rustic vibe? They have an enormous barn with cozy seating as well. If the weather is great, enjoy the wrap around porch. Beyond that, their wines are fantastic! Small production (about 3K cases) AND they are VERY dog friendly!! Special thanks to Katie the tasting room manager who made my visit exceptionally special!“
“Our first visit to Willamette Valley on our fist day we decided to take a ride down to the coast, ended up on an amazing hike, visited the beach and stopped at a local seafood place in Manzanita and happed upon the most wonderful glass of Lemelson Pinot Noir. I immediately took a picture of the wine name to research later. We visited the vineyard the very next day, had a wonderful experience and as expected enjoyed every sip from our tasting. We are now proud Lemelson wine club members and couldn’t be more thrilled. I am a huge fan of Pinot Noir and this is some of the best. Our tasting experience was just as wonderful, the staff was friendly and knowledgeable, we had the best time relaxing by the fire and sipping on wine. This is a must stop when visiting the Willamette Valley!“
“Pike Road is an amazing tasting room on 3rd Street in McMinnville! If you haven’t tried it yet, do yourself a favor and go. My friends are wine club members there and I’m so grateful. Each time we go, Dane, Mike, and anyone else working that day, are friendly, fun, informative, inquisitive, and caring. They pass on their knowledge and love for wine just by having simple, easygoing conversations with their guests. Thank you, Pike Road! See you again soon, I hope! 🥰💜🍷🍇“
“Nice people great wine!! I highly recommend going there.“

“Had a great tasting experience here on a rainy afternoon! So cozy inside on the couches and our host Brit was so lovely to talk to. I loved hearing about the history of the place and seeing the soil in jars 🤓 and the wines were excellent. I loved and would totally buy almost all of the ones we tasted. Great spot for wine tasting year round and love the wines!“
“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.“
“Ribbon Ridge wines are some of the best of Oregon Wines. Ribbon Ridge is a tiny AVA that produces the amazing grapes. Ridgecrest (RR Wines) knows how to make the most of those grapes. The added plus is fantastic owners and staff. Highly recommend visiting their tasting cottage..“
“Wonderful experience! We had a reservation for 6 and were seated at a table outside, which was absolutely wonderful. The guide for our tasting was excellent and the wines were top notch. We joined the wine club and are very excited for our first shipment. We also enjoyed our interactions with the cat and dog on the premises.“
“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!“
“Delicious wines; cozy, welcoming atmosphere. Jasmina will take good care of you!“
“Celebrated an anniversary here with a tasting and enjoying the views and it was amazing! Our host Maddie was especially helpful, knowledgeable, and kind. Made the experience a 12/10! Would highly recommend coming to this beautiful vineyard and asking for Maddie! Will definitely come again :)“
“I went to Carlo & Julian Winery today with a friend. I haven't been there since 2019. I liked this winery then and I love it now! 10 wonderful wines to taste and he just happened to have made a pulled pork and homemade chimichurri which was AMAZING both food and wine. If I had the money I would have come home with a variety case. Pricing of wines are extremely reasonable and the quality of the wines are amazing! I'm not a Pinot Noir person as a rule, but he had 3 that I could drink very happily. He also had the best, bar none, a GSM!!!! That did go home with me.😁 The 2021 Merlot-Malbec was so delicious that it also came home with me. The Syrah and Melbec oh my! Seriously if you haven't been or it's been a while you need to go! I plan I going again and bringing more friends to try his amazing wines! See you soon Carlo & Julian Winery!!!“
“What a delightful establishment. We wandered by after having a bad experience at another winery (sat for 25 minutes while no one so much as looked at us), and could not have been more pleased with the service we received at Kramer. It completely turned our day around. The wine is excellent and we even got to chat with the winemaker! Don't miss the charcuterie board either. Delicious.“
“We had a really great experience here on our first visit to McMinnville! The wine itself is amazing, we did both flights on our first visit then 2 red reserves on our next.. Suzanne went way above and beyond with us! She was super personably, knowledgeable and helpful. We had tons of questions and she had tons of answers. At one point I mentioned I had a mixed drink at a restaurant that I loved and she immediately text the bartender and got the recipe for me. She gave us a whole written out card of things to do in Astoria and winery’s to hit at our next location. She also gave us an extra tasting of their ports (which are amazing as well!) and made a really lovely charcuterie board, the best offering at any place we went really. We plan to go back to McMinnville next year and R Stuart will be one of our first stops!“
“For a very intimate tasting of some truly great wines, Native Flora should be on the top of your list. Looking forward to opening our bottles we bought and getting more from this cutting edge wine maker. Beautiful home, property, and dog 💕“
“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.“
“An amazing experience a great hospitality. Ryan always makes the experience for my wife and our guests enjoyable. I truly hate to tell you about this hidden gem but these guy's deserve the recognition. Hands down my favorite place to hangout and enjoy the sports on TV at the tasting room.“
“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.“
“the wine and the service are both fantastic.“
“Wine was very good. I think what set them apart was their Rose, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir were all worth purchasing, and we did. Seems rare for a winery to excel across multiple categories.
My only complaint is the tasting fee is expensive given you need to purchase $70 or $75 worth of product to waive just one tasting. For $35 you’re better off ordering 3-4 glasses at table for your party. The tasting pours are tiny…an ounce or less. Truly, just a taste. Go to catch the view and enjoy a glass of wine…they’re all delicious and worth the price. Don’t waste money on the tasting.“
“My husband and I stopped at La Biblioteca yesterday, mainly because I'm a bibliophile! From the minute we walked in, we felt welcomed by Kalina, who was an absolutely wonderful hostess. She was extremely knowledgeable about wine and we chatted the entire time we visited, not only about wine but about books, travel, and life in the Willamette Valley. The tasting room is tastefully decorated with comfortable and adequate seating. We are not normally pinot noir drinkers but their wines have changed our minds. We purchased a few bottles and will look forward to visiting again.“
“Wines that are a good mix of displaying typical Oregon pinot fruit, but with enough restraint to let the complexity shine through.“
“We had an amazing time during our visit! While we didn't sample every wine, the Cabernet Franc truly stood out for us. The winery itself is intriguing—it may appear to be a simple storefront in the city, but it boasts stunning views of the valley and mountains. We also enjoyed the bocce ball courts, and the staff provided a warm and friendly atmosphere. Plus, the prices were very reasonable!“
“Ken is always so nice and helpful when my wife and I show up. I love going and getting tasting flight and just relaxing in the back on the couches. The storefront is very warm and inviting and if you get a chance to join the wine club the parties, he throws are so wonderful. Look them up and go have a taste. His 2021 Chardenay is what hooked us and we've been going back often ever since. The bonus is that Carlton is such a cute little town with lots of little shops and spots to eat or grab a cup of coffee.“
“Such a cool experience. Our awesome tour guide (Grape Escape- Ralph Stinton) who we highly recommend set us up with David and a few other great earthy French style Pinot Noir producers which we prefer. My wife and I sat on David’s back porch with Walker and had EXCELLENT Pinot Noirs. It felt like sitting with a friend just enjoying great wine before David took off for the coast with Walker. He had really interesting stories of his experiences and we felt like we really got to know him.
David was kind enough to delay his trip to the coast for us and we are very thankful he did. We are new members of his wine club and look forward to receiving our first case in the fall. Highly recommend visiting particularly if you like earthy French burgundy style wine.“
“Incredible hidden winery. We went here on a whim and we are so happy we did. The view is beautiful. The service was terrific. The wines were delicious. I highly recommend making the trip here. I can’t wait to return and to share it with others.“
“We visited Sokol Blosser on a January weekend for a tasting, and so I could propose to my long-time partner. I am so thankful to the folks at Sokol Blosser for helping make it a truly special visit. They worked with me in the weeks leading up to our visit to ensure I had a great plan on place. It worked out perfectly. Thank you so much for their attention and hospitality. And let's not forget we really love their Pinot and sparking wines :)“
“We received another case of your fabulous wines today. Megan gave us attentive service from start to finish.“
“Good variety of wines with a wine maker that has great passion for his work.“
“Beautiful setting and great wine!!“
“Came on an amazing group tour. I have never been through wine aging caves in the US. The two leading is were great! The in-house golden retriever was a sweetheart. And of course, the WINE was AMAZING. We sampled 5 and their Summit was my favorite. Great tour to do on a rainy day since it's all inside and we were there in March before anything was growing outside.“
“This is our favorite winery in Oregon, hands down. Kira, Lucas, and the team are exceptional. Very knowledgeable, so warm and inviting. The tasting room is gorgeous, but the outside seating is unreal. Their reserve Chardonnay is out of this world.“

“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!“
