“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!“
“For a first experience at a live painting and winery this one will be tough to beat. I might just have to keep going back to this one. Thank you to my nephew and his bestie for taking me and my bestie on this wonderful adventure.
We saw @erinhansonartist live painting while basking in all the beauty of the vineyard this weekend and literally cannot wait to go back especially since the artist is live painting there till June. Who’s going with me?
✨The vibes and views were immaculate
✨The staff were beyond welcoming to a group who felt very out of place 😊
✨The food and bubbly absolutely five stars🌟
Thank you for coming to my amateur review 🤩😊“
“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!“
“Stopped in to use our Groupon, and had a great time! Thank you for the cheese plate and wine tasting. We even saw a coyote just after we left the place. Will be back in the summer :)“
“Alexana is absolutely stunning. Their property and tasting room are unique in a classy and beautiful way that stands out in a valley filled with wineries. Our host, Ean, was truly a delight. Ean shared with us the stories about the people and impressive team behind their wines and the family that built the brand. We got to learn about the 18 different soils on the property and how each one has an affect on the vines and grapes that grow from them. Ean had our tasting menu customized with our party's name and provided bottles of our preferred water so we could hydrate. Alexana came highly recommended by several others in the wine industry and it's easy to see why. Our tasting was absolutely perfect. Sitting next to the fire in the cover porch on a rainy day was lovely for both warmth and ambiance.
The wines were excellent, smooth yet bold pinots, refreshing rosé and a chardonnay that was crisp, clean and light. Ean made this entire experience one that I highly recommend to anyone looking for a truly excellent tasting as well as an intriguing tutorial on soils. Alexana has other properties in Napa and Argentina! Tasting the wines from Argentina was such a nice surprise, the Grenache and GSM left me speechless - and of course we had to buy a few bottles. We will undoubtedly be returning for more.
Thank You, Ean and the Alexana tasting for giving us an unforgettable experience.“
“These wines are SPECIAL. Not only was the space amazing, but the intention and craft of each wine blew us away. The experience was crafted and personal - if you are thinking about a trying a vineyard in the area…don’t mess around…try Rodeo Hills.“
“The staff here is amazing! We love Alexis and Reed. Super knowledgeable about the wines, the region and also just fun to be around. Oh and let's not forget about the wines. Soooo good. The pas de nom series is chefs kiss. The rose all day. The vigonier too! We became members this wine and the tasting room setting are so great.“
“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.“
“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!!“
“What a beautiful vineyard & taste room 🙌 Kate took such good care of us first timers. She educated us on the vines, wines & so much more. We loved our time here & ordered 6 bottles to go home with us. Thank you Kate for making our 1st Willamette Valley vines top so wonderful 🥰“
“We had a fantastic wine tasting experience at Knudsen Vineyard in Willamette Valley. The vineyard is beautiful with stunning views (even in the rain today!), but what really made our visit was our host, Jeff.
Jeff was incredibly friendly, welcoming and very knowledgeable. He took the time to explain each wine and share more about the vineyard and winemaking process in a way that felt engaging and relaxed.
We visited with our children and really appreciated how welcoming and accommodating the atmosphere was for families too.
The wines were excellent and the whole experience felt personal and memorable. We’d highly recommend a visit and would definitely return next time we’re in the area.“
“We visited Ghost Hill on a winery tour for my bachelorette party. Cam and his team were so friendly and the wine was delicious - the sparkling Chardonnay was fab, and I don't typically like Chardonnay! We spent a few hours at Ghost Hill, the venue itself was stunning and we were able to spread out and chat, take photos, wander a bit all while getting served wine every few minutes. Highly recommend, we can't wait to come back!“
“Absolutely stunning vineyard! We had a relaxing afternoon surrounded by incredible vistas, relaxing spaces, and knowledgeable staff. Phil and Jeff curated an exceptional flight making for a perfect afternoon with friends. Five-star experience!“
“We just returned from a fantastic tasting experience at Trisaetum. While the wines were excellent as was the setting, what really made it an experience to remember was the hospitality we received from Alice. We have done our fair share of winery tastings over the years and the ones that end up being memorable are the ones where the hospitality is on par with, if not exceeds, the wine itself. Alice, we will raise our glass to you with a toast when whenever we open a bottle! Whether it’s the 7am Rose or 5pm Martini! Cheers!!“
“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!“
“Great place to visit, relax, and sip some great wines.“
“Nice people great wine!! I highly recommend going there.“
“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! 🥰💜🍷🍇“
“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....“

“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!“
“Their Inverse is the best Rose I’ve ever had, and their property is a delight to explore. On top of this, their hospitality is incredible and they even recognized me on only my second visit many months later. This place is a gem in wine country.“
“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..“
“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.“
“Warm and highly engaged hosts. Jodie is a terrific tasting room manager. I had a great time walking around the vineyards with Rob, and they accommodated me with a tour of the winery and the cellars. Easily one of my favorite wineries to visit while in Oregon, especially for their organically farmed and beautifully nuanced expressions of Pinot Noir and other varietals.“
“We went to L'Angolo Estate Winery during our trip to Oregon wine country. This is a fabulous winery with amazing wine. The staff member(Gaelen) was very welcoming and informative. We loved the tasting room, with its fireplace and huge open windows looking out onto the vines in the vineyard. The tasting included a fantastic charcuterie that had some nicely sourced, delicious cheese and meats. I would highly recommend this place.“
“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!“
“the wine and the service are both fantastic.“
“A stop that definitely stands apart from some of the other tasting rooms in the area. Set in a converted pig barn connected to their wine operations, it offers a unique, down-to-earth atmosphere. Friendly furry companions roaming about only add to the charm, making for a memorable and distinctly different tasting experience.“
“My son and finance introduced us to Kramer Vineyards. It’s a little out there but well worth it. Awesome people and great assortments of wines. And if you’re lucky, you can see the pigs, Ludo and Lenny, one of which will be the ring bearer at their wedding next month. Yes, they do have occasional weddings out there.🩷 Beautiful drive and a wonderful time with loved ones.“
“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!!!“
“Our group came down from Northern Washington to the McMinnville Wine and Food Classic at the Evergreen Flight Museum. We decide to take a trip into Carlton and stopped by K&M Winery to have a glass of wine. The atmosphere is very inviting almost like your family and the wine is so good. The staff and the owners are delightful! Please stop by K&M Winery if you are in Carlton, Oregon and say hi to this amazing group of people.“
“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 💕“
“We were lucky to have a wonderful back of house office/marketing person who wanted to enjoy the beautiful weather help us. The food was delicious, beets with strawberries and goat
Cheese and pink peppercorns and wonderful spring pea hummus and a great olive oil tasting. Wine selection was good and they also have a nature trail good to walk pups and me, after all the food.
My husband discovered an additional bakery cafe in the back and left with some wonderful shortbread type cookies, one lemon with lavender, I think, and one dipped in chocolate, and some sea salt caramel brownies. All delicious and also very pretty cozy place!“
“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.“
“If you're serious about Willamette Valley wine and haven't found Ricochet yet, fix that immediately.
The Pilot Blanc stopped me cold. Sourced from some of the oldest Pinot Blanc plantings in the valley, it's completely unadulterated. Gently pressed, neutral barrel aged, and utterly alive. No winemaker fingerprints, just the vineyard doing its thing. It's the kind of white that makes you rethink what Oregon can do outside of Pinot Noir.
The Gamay is equally arresting. Bright, precise, and impossible to put down.
Then there's the Off-Line series . A sparkling Grüner Veltliner and a sparkling Tempranillo Rosé that manage to feel both playful and serious at once. Dry, food-friendly, and genuinely exhilarating. The kind of wines you open on the patio and finish before you meant to.
Winemaker Erich makes the whole experience feel personal and unpretentious. He'll answer anything, and as club members we've had the chance to get our hands into production, which is rare and genuinely special.
This is a winery with a clear point of view and the craft to back it up. Highly recommended.“
“We were lucky enough to meet Rob and his son Ben as we were enjoying wonderful wine. Honestly I am not a fan of Pinot Noir or even any red wine, so I was especially interested in the bubbly and the rose. It was DELICIOUS!!!! Our entire party was so very impressed. Best yet, there will be 6 bottles of bubbly waiting for me on my return home!“
“A friend recommended we stop at Archery Summit and all of our group was happy we did. We had an outstanding tasting curated by our host. Several delicious pinot noirs that ended up being shipped back to Ohio. Beautiful facility, friendly people. Highly recommend“
“Wines that are a good mix of displaying typical Oregon pinot fruit, but with enough restraint to let the complexity shine through.“
“Big open fields, spiralling hedges omfull of flowers, and a four legged cutie boy named Jax. These are the things that matter in committing to a bright and wonderful experience wine tasting. This place has all three. Also, give a sixth star to the wine, is good. Cheers!“
“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.“
“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.“
“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!“
“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.“
“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.“
“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.“
“We received another case of your fabulous wines today. Megan gave us attentive service from start to finish.“
“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.“
“Good variety of wines with a wine maker that has great passion for his work.“

“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!“
