We were looking forward to our Adelshiem tasting, but we're completely underwhelmed. It was the first stop of a 3-day wine vacation. Word to the wise...don't buy until you have completed your tastings. The service was top notch, they had a great outdoor setting to accommodate Covid issues, only complaint was the wine....the real reason we went there. Pinots were flat and lacked character. Do yourself a favor and check for small Mom & Pop wineries...you'll find better wines and friendlier faces. read more

We visited as a group of 6 in a limo on an unusually quiet President's Day. It was our final stop and typical of a limo wine-tasting day (for us anyway) - running behind. By the time we got there, I was worried we wouldn't have enough time. We needn't have worried - we were welcomed like family and treated like royalty by Michael, the tasting room manager. He took us through a wonderful tasting starting with sparkling, white and a rose and then the Pinot Noirs came as side by side tastings. Wow - that was so cool, to taste them together to really see which ones you liked better. Michael also used some cool technology to explain the different vineyards of the wines that were tasting. In the end we weren't rushed at all and it was a really special way to end a great day out with fabulous friends. Thanks also to Mark for setting up our reservation ;) read more

Amazing service from Charlotte today. She offered us some pours we were curious about and end helped us purchase bottles we we're interested in. She was very knowledgeable and personable. She made our experience lovely and them ambience was quite nice. Thank you so much! Brit and Mike read more

Best winery in Oregon!! And shoutout to my girl Aly who is, hands down, the best hostess/somm/wine teacher/best human ever!! Aly was knowledgable, educational, engaging, and fun! We do quite a few winery tastings in Napa, but this was our first time in Oregon. The other wineries we visited don't even come close thanks to her. The property was gorgeous, the wine was fantastic (so fantastic that we ordered 6 bottles), the market jars of goodness and the truffles were also amazing. And those jams!! Oh the jams! Do yourself a favor and visit this place, ask for Aly, and buy some wine and baby jars of jam! Just do it! read more

Beautiful view and a great stop on our tasting tour. Phil was very accommodating and knowledgable and it sounds like they have some fun wine education options and a fantastic patio. Great staff. read more

Best winery! Great service and wines. Ask for Paul- he took amazing care of us during our tasting.

If you want great conversation about wine and want to taste some awesome wines, go there. Definitely make an appointment as it helps timing and service. Mark was very attentive and had us try wines he knew we would like based on our comments from the first one or two tastings. It was an awesome experience and one we will do again in the future. read more

Relaxing and inviting tasting room. The word ROOM doesn't so it justice. Very comfy interior space and very spacious outdoor area made up of two levels. Knowledgeable and friendly staff. Really enjoyed talking with wine guide Ariel. Bonus if you go with a friend that is a member... tastings are free! read more

Great 'LIVE' certified sustainable winery. We tried a couple, grabbed some Rose and took a walk in their garden. Great day with cool people. Thanks Michael and Elizabeth for the knowledge and hospitality (and yummy wine). read more

Adelsheim Vineyard - Outside spaces. - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Newberg, Oregon

We came on a Tuesday, which normally means that most wineries do not have a lot of traffic, which we prefer, so we can taste and enjoy wines at our leisure, as well as engage in pithy banter with the tasting host. Its always nice to learn a few things and in exchange we enjoy sharing some stories of our amazing wine adventures over the years. Well the place was packed at the counter, with industry types from of all places, South Dakota. The wine host was primarily focused on taking care of his industry "peeps" little knowing that we might purchase and consume more wine than both N & S Dakota combined. Well more than all ten of the people that live in that god forsaken land. Sometimes you only get one chance and they blew theirs. We thought the wines were on the pricey side averaging in the $85 range, and they did not warrant that pricing. Nothing tasted particularly outstanding at all. Its that age old mystery does something warrant an expensive price tag or is it simply expensive. read more

We had an amazing time at Adelsheim. Our server, Melissa, was so amazing. She was incredibly knowledgeable and shared so much great information about the wines. We also had an amazing Burrata plate. So much food for a really great price. The wines are great too. And the views are awesome! Go and enjoy! read more

Jessica was extremely knowledgeable about each wine and the different regions they are grown in. Her service was amazing and she helped us pick some great bottles to take home. Adelsheim is a beautiful winery and we will definitely be back. read more

Came here with some girlfriends just for some tasting and each other's company. It was such a perfect day to relax. My experience with everyone here is phenomenal. The wine here is a must try!!! read more

The setting is beautiful and the wine decent; however, the tasting room staff ruined a long-planned group event for us. They were not prepared to manage a group of 10-12. Despite a long email chain booking our reservation--- and an almost empty tasting room when we arrived, the tasting room staff initially refused to seat us because in our email confirmation I had stated that our party's number may vary by one or two less people. They stated that without an exact count that it wasn't a reservation, despite my having an email from another staff saying "your reservation is confirmed in your name." They made a big deal over this for almost 15-20 minutes, but then finally agreed to seat us. Adelsheim was recommended to me by another winery as well equipped for a party of 10-12 people; however, even though the tasting room was almost empty they didn't seem prepared for or interested in our business. read more

Very friendly and accommodating. They were so happy to pour whatever we were interested in. No pressure and interested in whatever we wanted. Would love to come back again and sit outside...the tent was well done but could not see the beautiful landscape. The quarter mile lane Pinot was stunning--Incredible. read more

Excellent experience - wine was very good, setting was lovely, and Robin was a great hostess!

I was there Sunday afternoon, 12/13/20. They've got a gorgeous outside, covid-safe, set up with tents, heaters, sanitized blankets and wonderful charcuterie board, fondue, and of course the wine was amazing! Friendly, knowledgeable staff. A perfect afternoon get away! read more

What an awful experience! Booking our trip well in advance, we were driving through to Portland and decided to add a one night stop to Wilamette. It was a bucket list area, after all... ever since visiting Napa Valley a few years ago all I can drink is red, now. While not a huge Pinot fan, I was excited to be introduced to a vineyard that would change our mind. Double checking my email confirmation the night before, we showed up to our 11am tasting. As this was the ONLY vineyard on our "tour" we opted for the meat & cheese tasting and were expecting to send 4-5 bottles home (it's my mom's favorite, Pinot Noir.) We never got that chance. Their computer system somehow had a failure and our appointment was not on their calendar. Being the only ones there you'd think this would be no big deal & they would simply (behind closed doors) come up with an accommodating back up plan, and be grateful for us being there and our business. Wrong. We were literally told "it goes both ways" after expressing we felt they were treating us in such a way that was making us very uncomfortable. They were uncomfortable with us because, regardless of my showing the email confirmation, it wasn't in their calendar!!! I'm here to give you business (the only reason you're here) and they spoke down to us and had no sense of how to handle customers. I He couldn't see the end of his own nose it was so high in the air when he spoke. It was the most pretentious behavior that actually left me in tears- as our entire day was ruined and we blew our only day in Portland. Unfortunately the experience was so bad we have crossed Wilamette (damnit!- because apparently they get super pissed if you say it like the rest of the country... Wil-uh-mette) off of our "future travel" plans and will not be back. Save your time, money and go to Napa where they actually appreciate and thrive on the tourism. read more

I've got a passion for Pinot and if you ask me, they don't get any tastier than at Adelsheim. The first winery in the Chehalem Mountains, I've heard, and still going strong! I've been tasting their wine for years and I think they only get tastier and tastier! Even in these trying times they go out of their way to show you a really nice time. Cool Cabanas! You gotta go taste! read more

Really enjoyed our experience here. The service was warm and welcoming. We were informed of each pour, what made it unique and provided ample space to enjoy our visit. Our reservation was 3PM on a Saturday and the place was not too busy but seemed to have plenty of friendly staff to help everyone without making food feel like they needed to move along to accommodate other visitors. The grounds were beautiful and quiet. The vibe was unpretentious and had a clear appreciation for the arts. Would definitely visit again! read more

Amazing ambiance. Great service, friendly and a place for the kids to hang out while we tasted in peace. Good Pinot noir. Bought$100 In wine and two tastings were free. Knowledgeable about the area. Highly recommend. read more

Terrible place, they try to charge you $20 for a wine tasting! I asked about sitting out on the patio and they said you must buy a bottle and drink it there. Prices are absurd per bottle, about double to triple what you can find other wine for in the area. I walked out, what a waste of time! Wayne Gorsek read more

Hi Catherine D. - Thanks for the follow up. I like seeing more business owners respond to Yelp reviews. I don't have any concerns. You make nice wines. I don't like posting negative reviews online and don't very often. This one is all about value at your tasting room. Your pricing structure when I visited was $120 for six of us to taste relatively tiny pours of five wines, with the fees not waived when I bought three bottles. You're on the highest of the high end of tasting fees of anywhere I've been in the world... only at very high end Napa wineries and once at a winery in Burgundy have I paid $100+ for a group of us to taste wines, and in each case the winery experience and quantity of wine being tasted justified the cost. Not so at Adelsheim. read more

Every time I go to Adelsheim I look forward to a few things, the tasting room staff, the incredible view and the latest sampling of their Pinots. My first visit was a spontaneous layover in my mission to find some wineries to join and I'm very glad to have taken that unplanned fork in the road. In my opinion, Adelsheim wines exemplify Oregon Pinot Noirs. They are light with complex flavors that evolve over time, and depending on the conditions of the year and location of the vineyards, vary from vintage to vintage. This lends to cellaring and keeping wines around to be enjoyed years from purchase. Which leads to me another point, they offer a magnum club in addition to the typical clubs; not many wineries in the Willamette Valley have this unique offering. It give me the opportunity to feel like a bonafide collector and pretend I know something about wine. And ultimately, great wine and excellent perks mean nothing if the staff representing the winery aren't friendly, welcoming and open to teaching you a little about their craft and product. This is where I get to personally thank Matt for wonderful experiences at Adelsheim and imparting some wine knowledge on this plebe. read more

I really enjoyed this winery. There were 4 of us, and we shared two tastings. Started out with the pinot gris, which is crisp, with good acidity. The first pinot noir was a little light for my tastes, but the rest were delicious. They have a bunch of single estate pinots, each with unique characteristics. It's one of the oldest wineries in Oregon, with some of the vines up to almost 50 years old. I would recommend a visit! It's not on the tasting menu, but ask to try the Auxerrois-it's a white varietal that is native to Alsace, France. It's aromatic and crisp-delicious with cheese! We also tried the dessert wine, made from pinot noir grapes, and loved that too. read more

This place has the best pinot in the Willamette Valley. Yes, it may be more pricey than other places for tastings, but you can split tastings, they'll let you retry any wine on the tasting list, and it gets waived when you buy a certain amount in product, which I think is about $50 - that's less than the price of one bottle of pinot - a bottle you can save for a special occasion. The pinots are medium-full bodied and have such a complex taste. Elizabeth's and Ribbon Springs were my faves (they are almost out of Ribbon Springs, so hurry fast and get it). Do I have the money to be buying $50+ bottles of wine all the time? No, I'm a student - but I appreciate good wine and will save bottles that I loved. If you want cheaper places (watered down pinot) - there are plenty of other places nearby. But you know what? Many of those places are $15+ for tasting fees with $40+ bottles. Brought our out-of-town friends (our former Napa/Sonoma wine tasting buddies when we lived in the Bay) here about a month ago and we tried this place for our first time. We were all blown away, and each bought a bottle (us couples split tastings so we paid no tasting fee). Fast forward to last weekend when we brought my fiance's parents, they were so blown away they joined the wine club! Also, their chardonnay here is fantastic. I detest buttery chardonnay and cringe at the thought of it, and if you do too, try this chardonnay. Not one bit buttery. If you appreciate quality, complex wine and are not afraid to buy a bottle when tasting (in order to have tasting fees waived), then come here. You will NOT regret it. I can't wait to come again and see how their 2011s are doing. OH, and they were the only place we went to last weekend in the valley still pouring mainly 2010s - every other place we went to already had only their 2011s out. There's another plus right there! And in regards to the outdoor tasting area - we found out at our first visit it's for wine club members only to do tastings out there, but they definitely don't mind you going out there to take pictures. read more

We drove all the way here from the Hillsboro area to drink wine from the back stairs because their porch was reserved for their wine club. I counted 12 tables and even though only 2 had people they wouldn't let us sit at any of the tables and enjoy the view, instead we enjoyed the view from back stairs. Definitely not coming again and wouldn't recommend anybody too, unless your into sitting on the ground :). read more

Adelsheim Vineyard - Thumbs down for thumbs down experience. - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Newberg, Oregon

My first trip to Adelsheim was a nice experience. I wanted to take my friend out to some of the wineries along North Valley Road because there are a lot there that I have never been to. We were both impressed with the facility as we pulled into the parking lot. The tasting room was just as beautiful as the outside. We started out with the '09 Caitlin's Reserve chardonnay. I don't normally care for oaked chardonnays, but I'm starting to realize that many of Oregon's winemakers can oak chardonnays tastefully - they don't go overboard and make you think you're drinking butter. I enjoyed this one so much I picked up a bottle to bring home. Next on the flight was the newly released '10 Willamette Valley Rose of Pinot Noir. It had only been bottled the weekend before. I think for me this one was just a bit too dry and acidic. Not sure if there was some bottle shock going on or if it's just a different style than I'm used to. Or maybe it was the cool gray weather that put me off. I'll have to give it another try this summer on a nicer day. The flight ended with three '08 pinots: Temperance Hill, Elizabeth's Reserve, and Bryan Creek. All three were nice though a bit pricey for my budget right now. I think it would be lovely to come back in the summer and enjoy a picnic on the patio overlooking the vineyard. read more

I concur with others here: the wines are very good to excellent, and the staff (at least the guy we got) was nice enough. But the pours are minuscule (truly, as in two sips; I have never seen such a small pour before), the atmosphere is wanting, the tasting fee is very high, and the bottle prices are insane; in my view 30% more than what I would be comfortable with based on the tasting. Their lower end, near $50 (!), does not justify its cost for what you get. Their high end, which is excellent and considered purchasing, is also over $100. I collect wine, so while I will spend that occasionally on a nice Barolo or Burgundy or Cote Rotie or whatever, that's also what I'm comparing it too in terms of value, and it doesn't quite get there. So overall I'm glad that we got to experience their high end. That was interesting. But was that entire experience worth it? I don't know. If I had more money, yes. But I don't. So. read more

Wine tasting over Memorial weekend landed us here.... I drive by this winery everyday to and from work and finally stopped in here. Living in Oregon's wine country is very nice, but I rarely get the opportunity to wine taste on weekends! Memorial weekend and Thanksgiving weekend are the 2 biggest tasting weekends out here... and they were busy for sure! We were greeted right when you walk in the door and was handed our glass for tastings. We were escorted over to the Rose to start with, then off to the long bar in the tasting room for whites and reds. The staff is very informative on their wines, they know what they are selling for sure! The tasting room could have a warmer feel to it. It's very spacious with a beautiful wood bar, but almost to big. It kind of gives that sterile feel with the white walls and ceiling. The views are gorgeous though, and they do have a large deck, but there was not any seating out, maybe it was closed? The tasting is priced high at $20 per person, but keep in mind this is high end wine with most wines in the $40-$60 range. I probably would not buy their wine on a regular basis for this reason, but for special occasions, yes! read more

After being impressed by an '08 Adelsheim Willamette Valley from a local wine store, we made it a point to visit the winery in the fall of 2011 and enjoyed the many single vineyard Pinot's so much, we decided to join Club Noir. If you enjoy good Oregon Pinot Noir, this is definitely a stop that needs to be on your next wine tour list. My wife has also found that all of their wines do not affect her in regards to migraines which she finds a lot of red wines can do (double bonus). The winery facilities are impressive and expansive while nestling into the beautiful hillside. Their tasting room is larger than average, but is designed to facilitate the large number of visitors we have seen every time we have made it out to the winery. The staff is knowledgeable and exceptionally friendly (props to Matt, Elissa and both Katherine's!). The prices for their wines are above average, but so are their wines. Their base wine (Willamette Valley) can be found in a lot of wine stores and is a nice invitation to try the other rungs on their varietal ladder. Elizabeth's Reserve is the only other production you will be able to find outside the vineyard. All the single vineyard Pinot's (Bryan Creek, Boulder Bluff, Calkins Lane, Nicholas, Ribbon Springs, Temperance Hill, Zenith, Winderlea, and Quarter Mile Lane) are only available direct from the winery, a few of which are only available via club membership. Besides the Noir's, they also offer Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc, Chardonnay, Rose and an Auxerrois (oaks-er-wah), all of which are great in their own regard. If you find that you really like Adelsheim's wines, taking part in one of their annual barrel tastings to get a sneak peek of the upcoming vintages is highly recommended. Included is a tour of the winery along with commentaries from one of their expert vintners. If Adelsheim fits your palate, a couple other wineries you may enjoy are Bergstrom just up the street, Panther Creek in Dundee, and Archery Summit which is a bit to the south. read more

First: Adelsheim makes great wine that is very honest for the region: no over extraction in the Pinot or over Malo in the Chardonay. This review is not about the consistently excellent wine. I do agree with the reviewers that find the tasting fee excessive (though not as excessive as the complete rip-off up the road that is Ponzi). If the point of a winery tasting is to introduce customers to what is special about the wines, why not make it more accessible (this is particularly important in larger groups because folks can discuss and compare)? Why not consider these sorts of tastings a bit of a loss-leader? How about $10 per person that is refundable with any purchase, period? (like, I might add, the nearby Trisaetum) read more

My husband and I visited Adelsheim Vineyard last spring as part of a wine tasting weekend with another couple. It was a last minute decision to stop by, but I had passed it while riding my bike and knew the Adelsheim's were some of the original growers in the area. We had to stop by and taste it! We had a great experience in the tasting room. The person helping us (Sean?) stayed with us through the tasting and answered lots of questions. We thought the wines were great and bought some bottles. Fast forward to Christmas Eve a couple of nights ago and we opened a bottle of the 2009 Bryan Creek and it was... breathtaking on all accounts. A stunning bottle of wine and now I can't wait to taste the others. Thinking about joining the wine club. Yes, wines in the Willamette can be a bit spendy, but they are also high quality, and if you like Pinots you can't go wrong here! read more

We came to try some wines and ending up joining the wine club. The staff is very knowledgeable about the wine. We had John who help guide us on our tasting journey. Very friendly and helpful. Excited to learn about wines thru their member class they offer. Thank you John for taking care of us! read more

I've been here a couple times, once with a large group, and once with my husband. Both times the staff was very courteous and they were very gracious in waiving tasting fees for our large group when several people bought bottles. So why only three stars? Like other reviewers have mentioned their prices seem exorbitant for the quality of their wine. I have a hard time justifying paying $75 for a bottle of wine that doesn't hold up to less expensive bottles from the region. The Willamette Valley seems to be getting a reputation for over-priced pinots and Adelsheim is no exception. read more

Two weeks ago I took my nephew who was visiting from Korea on a little wine-tasting tour. We enjoyed every place we stopped at but the only review I'm writing is for Adelsheim which was outstanding for its hospitality. The host was really knowledgeable and friendly and he was eager to make our experience as enjoyable as possible. I plan on returning and recommend it highly for anyone visiting the area. Oh, and BTW, the wines were excellent. read more

Wow ! What a incredible experience. Robyn and Michael went out of there way to give us a VIP experience. Highly recommend. Great wines , beautiful property. read more
