Stopped by from out of state for the third or fourth time just to buy a couple of bottles of their fabulous wines. Their Pinot and Roses are delicious AND affordable. No view, but their easy access tasting room, friendly knowledgeable service, and wine more than makes up for it. read more

Stopped for a $25 tasting of their Pinot Noir selections. This is pinot country and they did not disappoint. This spot is not the winery but a local tasting spot. They gather grapes from throughout Willamette Valley and their winery is about 20 miles away. We grabbed a bottle for our hotel room enjoyment. Friendly and knowledgeable service in a modern living room style of tasting area. Fun stop. read more

I've been to Alit twice now. I used the online reservation both times. Both times it was quieter and we got to choose where we wanted to sit. My first experience was a late Sunday afternoon with a friend and there was only one girl working, who was great. She was attentive and knowledgeable. The second time, two guys were working. One with glasses who seemed clean cut and professional. I had to flag him down a few times because the other male employee was not paying attention at all. The male employee who was our primary interaction looked sloppy. His nails were dirty, and yes, I notice that because it's a pet peeve of mine. And you should have clean hands and nails working in hospitality in a customer facing role. My first trip I ordered the $25/person flight. The wines were all good and I thought Rock, River and Angel Crest were excellent. For the membership fee, I decided to join that day because I wanted to buy some wine and I knew I would be back to buy more at such an affordable price! I also find the tasting room absolutely charming. I love the rustic feel. Our second visit I ordered the basic flight, free to members. I liked a whopping 0 of the wines. I had sips of most and was done. I sat for a good 15-20 minutes before our clueless server figured out I was trying to get his attention. I ordered us glasses of the Rock and River and that took quite some time to get to as well. So I was less than thrilled with my second experience as far as service goes, but I do love those three wines!!! I'll be back for more tastings and more wine! read more

Great ambiance cute place, bright and open. Loved the grape roots on the ceiling. Service was great, the employee told lots of good information and background. Very knowledgeable. Wines were ok to great. The Rose was excellent. The "flood" and "fire" pino noir I bought a bottle of. Same exact grapes, one grown in lower soil (flood) the other grown in higher soil volcanic, (fire). Some of the other pinots were decent, nothing special. Overall a nice place. read more

We had an amazing wine tasting experience. The staff perfectly paced our tastings, was very knowledgeable and happy to answer questions. The space is nice, we had a relaxing afternoon. I don't normally buy bottles at tastings, but I had to take home their River pinot noir. read more

I was really pleasantly surprised by everything!! Lovely atmosphere, great staff, house dog, Raffi and the quality of the wine is amazing. Their club has a unique structure and is a great value. Sunday music in the summer, sublime! read more

The wines are incredible and a great value. I love that they have true champagne (at times) and it's priced to be enjoyable. We have had a couple negative experiences, but I won't allow that to overshadow the wines and I do keep coming back. read more

$6 flights! Let me repeat, $6! Yep, before I even tried the wines I was already impressed that you could get a flight of four wines for $6. A flight of four pinots will cost you $15. Do what my friends did and order both flights and share. The Chardonnay and Rose were the fan favorites from the $6 flights. The Rose might have been the best Rose I've ever had and it had notes of watermelon. A bottle only cost you like $15 too. The Pinot flight was a fun experience. They start you off with The Flood and The Fire. Both wines were grown, harvested, and produced the exact same way EXCEPT they were grown in different soil. It's interesting, before even tasting the wines you could smell a distinct difference. The tastes were different as well. The Flood had a fuller body and a slight tart taste, whereas The Fire was smooth. The fourth wine called The Last Chapter was grown in both soils and perfectly blended the fuller body and smooth flavors creating a fantastic pinot. It's so interesting how even the soil can change the flavor of wine. All in all, this place was a delight and I can't wait to come back next time I'm in Dundee. read more

Alit Wines - Cool light fixture. - Wine Bars Near Me - Dundee, Oregon

We did a spontaneous drop-in on the way home from the coast and so glad we did. I absolutely love the champagne they have here... left with a couple bottles of it. We lounged here for at least a hour... the place is super comfy - I love how it's decorated... especially the chandeliers made out of the roots from a vineyard. The owner served us and he was super cool. Would definitely come here again read more

Alit winery is a rebranding of whatever was in this space previously. New owners, new winemaker and a new tasting room/ hospitality manager make this the hottest new experience in the esteemed winemaking Willamette Valley region. The winemaker approaches his craft with a higher acid content which results in a more crisp (refreshing) flavor to his Chardonnay. And let's talk about his Pinot Noir- WOW! What a treat! The nose on this wine is rich and woody with tremendous depth and complexity that is unusual with other Oregon Pinots. The flavor profile is amazing and surprisingly big with hints of oak, pepper and plum. The tasting room is modern and chic with a hip, contemporary vibe. The space is light filled and the dark vine roots (from their own grapes) hanging from the ceiling and cork paneling balance the white walls nicely. Deep house/ alt rock music adds to the experience that sets it apart from it's more mainstream and conservative neighbors (come hither hipsters). The wine club approaches the customer interaction differently as well. It's more of a membership fee that gives you access to events and significant wine discounts versus the more common mandatory, twice-a-year purchase requirement of other wineries. The entire experience was refreshing with a millennial take on the wine country experience. The wine is delicious and approachable. Check it out before this becomes the must visit spot in Dundee. read more

Alit is doing some great things here! Glad to see they took over the former Chapter 24 space... Decorated beautifully, it invites you to lounge and take your time during your tasting. Not a typical belly up to the tasting bar, tasting room. You have a seat and they come to you! The glasses are laid out in a flight style. All pours are done at once, so you can take your time, and revisit as you choose. Their "wine club" is a bit different too. A flat fee allows you to buy wine at the winemakers cost. As much as you want, when you want! No quarterly shipments, no extra bottles that you don't want. I love the vibe they have going on here, and hope they stay a long time! Can't wait to see what this year will bring for them and their wine! read more

Alit Wines - Wine flight - Wine Bars Near Me - Dundee, Oregon

Love Alit Winery! We joined shortly after moving to Dundee last July! It's our favorite place to go, buy wine and take friends visiting from near and far. The people are fabulous! Especially Sam! The wine is very good and the vibe is friendly and warm! Not to be missed. Alit never disappoints! read more

This place is a little gem! Not a ton to seating but if you get in be sure to have room to bring some wines home. This was our first stop and I honestly have to say the only thing I regret is having bought only one of their Chardonnays. The workers were very knowledgeable and friendly. I honestly don't remember if they had any snacks since I was so focused on the wines. We will likely have to reach out for another shipment soon. read more

Good wines. Good stories. Good hours (the wineries all close too early, as I'm sure you know)... read more

Easily some of the best wine in the Dundee area and Oregon in general. Very cool tasting room with rad people and excellent customer service. They have umbrellas and heaters if you want to sit outside. Really love this wine and hope you check it out. read more

I really enjoyed my tasting experience at Alit wines! The tasting room itself is very fresh and unique in its design and decor. There is seating for various group sizes, including a long dining table, inside. There is additional outdoor seating, and space for a food cart. We had friendly, hands on service from both Paul and Navisha in the tasting room. I asked Paul a lot of questions about wine tasting and production and he was always ready with a thorough answer. One thing I appreciated was that, after letting him know I was trying to practice tasting more thoughtfully, he explained the differences between the wines as they were poured so I could try to taste the differences myself. And when I asked about the differences in flavor, he could tie it back to a step in the production of the wine. In the end I took a few bottles home and joined the wine club. The wine is great too! :) read more

Alit is a must when visiting Dundee! Their wines are delicious and a beautifully refreshing start to a day of tasting in the valley. The tasting room is beautifully decorated and provided a relaxing atmosphere to enjoy some wine with good company. The wine alone could have earned a 5 star rating, but Paul truly elevates the experience here. He was incredibly welcoming and made us feel right at home from the moment we walked in. read more

Amazing wine! Great service! A gem in Dundee amongst bigger wineries. Support small business and visit, they are awesome

Great spot to have wine and awesome collective program! We love all their wines and the hospitality is wonderful

We are locals and Alit is our go-to tasting room. We love spending time there with the knowledgable, friendly, and fun staff. It's also conveniently located off 99W making it an easy stop on your way to anywhere. All of their wines offer something unique and interesting, but the Rose is a favorite of ours. Highly recommended! read more

Paul is absolutely wonderful! He is super knowledgeable and friendly! He really cares about the people who come into the tasting room. My group loved him so much and loved the wine that we tasted and ended up joined the wine collective/membership. We are so excited to be apart of the alit wine family! read more

WOW. Absolutely blown away by this experience. Paul took such excellent care of us. He shared lots of knowledge and background about wine in general, along with the wines they have in house. If you get the chance to try the rose + arrow gold label, do. read more

The wines are paled only by the atmosphere and hospitality. Please enjoy a flight and light bites. You will not be disappointed.

Small but lovely tasting room. Make their own wine and it's amazing. Highly recommend for anyone! Also serve beer for those who aren't in love with wine. Very contemporary compared to most winery's which is awesome! Frequently have food carts on site and soon will be having live music on site as well. Love the atmosphere, very open and airy and enjoyable. Right across the street from Dobbes Winery and right behind Argyle winery so location is amazing! Highly recommended to anyone who likes good wine or good beer at affordable prices! read more

Derek was our server and he was very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. The wine costs are very reasonable and we were very impressed with the wines. I personally like bigger reds and the wines were exactly what I was looking for. They allow dogs which is such a plus and the atmosphere was great. Thank you Derek for making a remarkable experience! read more

This was a pretty cool, albeit small, tasting room in the center of town. The gentleman who helped us was great. Very friendly. He adjusted the order of the tasting to compliment the food we had brought in. And he provided some side by side comparisons so we could see how we liked the Flood vs the Fire. And he provided some of the most entertaining descriptions of their wines. Very interesting and unique 'membership' construct to operate more like a cooperative than a quarterly/monthly subscription. Interesting comparison to some of the other wineries in the area. Would definitely recommend checking this place out. read more

Beautiful tasting room, wine and experience! Decor is fun, other wines and champagne to taste which was fun in Pinot region.

We started our day off here in the beginning of our day long time tasting adventure. The wine was excellent. I was a fan, and so was my wife. We bought two bottles to take home with us as well. I think it may have been a different tasting spot back in the day. Never got to stop by the old one, but everyone here was friendly and attentive to our needs. read more

A pretty unique space. They had a nice true Champagne and a tasty chard. We went when it was slow, which is what we like so that we are not rushed or overwhelmed. A nice relaxing tasting. read more
