“We have toured/tasted at wineries all around the world & Synchline was definitely our fave experience! A true hidden treasure, and a peaceful, beautiful garden environment. The staff was wonderful, from the cheerful greeting by Lauren, followed by, Randi, our knowledgeable tasting server. Cody made sure we were treated well & had an enjoyable experience. The Picpoul was our fave white, don't miss this one.“

“Small, intimate family run winery with wonderful and affordable wines. Julie was attentive, knowledgeable, friendly but never intrusive. Located right on 2nd Street in The Dalles, it's a great place to stop if you're wandering the various tasting rooms and bare pubs in the area. Since it was my first time here, I did the flight. The first wine, the Locomotive, had me with the very light taste with hints of honey and papaya. Not one to typically drink whites, I was surprised at how much I enjoyed it. On a warm or even hot day, this would be perfect. As I made my way through the tasting, I found that I was enjoying several of their wines. The High Tension, their club favorite, was a full bodied blend of Syrah, Merlot and Barbera. A perfect everyday drinking wine And good for parties where you need a wine that pleases many palettes.The other standout for me was the Barbera. Very smooth, full body and slightly jammy. Since I'm in a Barbera club at Cascade Cliffs, I left with the Locomotive. I'm looking forward to a warm spring day to sit in my deck and enjoy with friends. The tasting room inside is small and simple. A picnic tables and seats out in the paved area out front, nice on a sunny day. I'll definitely be back.“

“Idiots Grace is a beautiful little winery hidden away in the Columbia Gorge on the eastern edge of Mosier, Oregon. My wife and I had the fortune of knowing someone who is a member of the Idiots Grace wine club and tagged along with them when they went to pickup a few bottles of wine. I'm a bit of a novice at wine tasting but I've never experienced anything like what's offered at Idiots Grace. We sat outside on a beautiful day in the shade while a wine steward brought us a sample of six wines ranging from white, rose to red. The steward described each wine in detail and mentioned a few other wines she thought we might like. Two of the wines I ended up buying (2020 Marssonne Roysanne & 2020 Dolcetta) came from grapes harvested after the 2020 Oregon wildfires which gave them a bit of a smokey flavor (which I loved). Idiots Grace is a hidden gem and I highly recommend giving it a try.“

“The incredible wines (featured in The New York Times!) and biodynamic production are reason enough to love Analemma, but the people at the winery and the atmosphere they’ve thoughtfully curated, are equally worth celebrating. Wineries can sometimes feel impersonal and stiff, but Analemma has embraced a uniquely inviting, inclusive, and educational approach that allows everyone who visits to feel at home. The owners and their staff (including Lawna, Sarena, and Lilly) are kind, funny, and truly go the extra mile for customers. My husband and I are members, and some of our favorite times spent together have been at Analemma. We love to pick cherries in the summer, enjoy glasses of Albariño overlooking the view next to rows of lavender—and ordering the cheese plate is a must. Analemma is special to us, and we couldn’t recommend it enough.“

“The view of the river is beautiful and the staff is very friendly and informative. We found the wine to be hit or miss for our palates, though. A couple we liked and a couple we didn't even finish the tasting portion. Our favorites were the "Too Sexy" and the Tinto Dulce.“

“Super cool place to just visit and poke around. A lot of the old mill equipment is still there, as part of the decor, and they've turned it into a neat meeting space for small as well as large groups. We met one of the proprietors, and she was a fun and enthusiastic source of info. Plenty of kitschy fun items to buy as well as a nice menu. A cool place to visit; we'll be back.“
