Very beautiful setting with views of Mt Hood behind the vineyard however felt very unwelcome here. The hostess/server nearly rolled her eyes at me when I told her we had children in our party. She told us to go find a table to sit at. Sat at a table near the lawn for a good 20 minutes before another server came out to ask if we have been helped and then in an annoyed tone told us to come to the tasting room to check in next time, which we did. Overall the tasting was good but very stingy pours. I would not recommend if you have a larger party or any children in your party.

We stopped in for a tasting this weekend. We were looking for wineries at which we could bring our pup...she was very welcome at Ardiri, just had to be on leash and off the furniture. The indoor patio area is perfect for chilly days. They have a fireplace with seating, along with many tables with center fires and loads of blankets. The setting is beautiful, and the service is friendly. They even offered up some soup to enjoy with our wines! We had 5 tastings for $15. The wines were all pretty good, as was the soup. Overall it was a nice and relaxing tasting experience. We recommend and will be back.

Pretty vineyard in Oregon. They had live music which was a nice touch. The wine tasting came in graduated cylinders which was unique. They also had Frose

20ml pour

Beautiful view, but by far the stingiest wine tasting I've ever experienced. For $20 you can try 4 different wines and each pour is 20ml! Honestly the amount was laughable. An average glass of wine is 187ml. This wine tasting was not even half a glass of wine! What an absolute joke and rip off.

Wine tasting for 2.....

What a beautiful winery and tasting room. Loved the wine, views and staff! Great first time in experience. The Rose was amazing! We even joined the membership because we know we will be back!!!

Went to have a tasting at Árdíri and was thoroughly impressed with the quality of the wine. The taste was amazing as well. The owners were so nice and accommodating. When I was there an entire bus load of people came so it was crunch time, yet all was well. Highly recommend

Excellent winery with a great mix of local wines. The Rosé was my favorite. May and June is the start of the season and I must say I will be coming back many times again. The interior is like walking back in time! Kid and pup friendly as well! Great views and location!

Ardiri in Sicilian dialect means "take a risk". My hubby is Sicilian heritage and that intrigued him to want to visit this winery and try and buy their wines. (Available only by mail and at the tasting room which is open Friday through Sunday.) We knew little about Ardiri before our visit. We left big fans. Reasons follow. TASTING ROOM SETTING: This is a spectacular setting for the tasting room views, in particular for outdoor seating when weather cooperates including big firepits with chairs surrounding. Kanoodle the photos, in particular Dan P's. Accessible including accessible (aka ADA) parking and level, stable surface path into the tasting room. The only drawback may be that parking is limited, so at events where attendance is high, be prepared to hike up the hill. TASTING ROOM AMBIANCE / TASTING SET UP: With the roll up garage doors rolled down during inclement weather, as the day we visited, the tasting room is sleeker much smaller than some of the others nearby (as in David Hill and Montinore). But the host behind the tasting bar, Zac, was welcoming and knowledgeable. A $10 tasting fee (refundable with two bottle purchase) returned pours from a five wine fixed card that included the winery's white blended wine, Chehalem Gold, as well as four Pinot Noirs. A small plate of Pecorino Romano and crackers was offered to go with the wine. You'll also note how small are the tasting glasses here, unlike the larger Riedel glasses at others nearby. That's because the smaller glasses with shorter stems are more stable to prevent tipping over in the prone to wind outdoor seating area we were told. THE WINES: We enjoyed the Chehalem Gold which is a blend of their estate grown Pinot Gris and Pinot Blanc. At $20, this alone is worth a visit to the winery. We hope Ardiri will bottle Pinot Blanc as varietal in the future too. Being Oregonians (me a native, my husband a transplant) we are biased in favor of Oregon Pinot Noir and were surprised to find Ardiri's parent effort is in the Carneros area of Napa and so three of the four Pinots being poured were from Carneros. Carneros is a perfect growing area for Pinot Noir grapes and Oregon bias aside, the three Carneros grown Pinot Noir were really good. As high praise for him, my husband compared one to Chehalem's Stoller Vineyards Pinot Noir. Ardiri's single Oregon Pinot, the first release from their 15 acre vineyard in Cornelius was both hot (at 15% plus for alcohol) and a bit tight. But good enough to be interesting for what they will do as the vines mature. Although not on the tasting card, Zac was nice enough to open a bottle of the Due Stati (two states) for us to sample. Although still a touch young, this blend of both Carneros and Cornelius Pinot Noir (under $40) was very good for the promise it holds after it has been in the bottle for a while and we brought some home to lay down. BOTTOM LINE: We arrived curious and departed fans of Ardiri wines and winery. Both owners (John Compagno and Gail Lizak) grew up in Italian heritage families with a connection to wine starting in their childhoods and an appreciation for the connection between good wine, food and hospitality. Cent'anni! Highly recommend a visit to the winery and purchasing the wines.

Just a portion of what's in the yummy snack box! Sooooo good!

I have been to Ardiri twice now and have had the best experience both times. I happened to have the same server Melissa both times and she is excellent. She is kind, checks in often but not too much, answered all my questions, and is just a fun person to be around! Others also checked in with us, possibly the owner? It's a beautiful environment whether inside or outside, the perfect space for relaxing. We will definitely be back!

I don't drink whites. But the Pinot Blac here at Ardiri was superb. Now, let me be clear, no buttery Chardonnay for me, but plenty of Vinho Verde. I love the crisp flavors and the effervescence. And the Pinot Blac captured my attention-because it had the right texture profile, with a fabulous crispness and maturity that vinho verde does not: it was truly fabulous. Now, I'm no sommelier; I just play one on TV. But this vintage makes me want to always keep a bottle on hand for friends...guess now I need to buy a wine cellar, or start excavation.

Went for trivia night recently and it was so enjoyable not to mention the wine and charcuterie…read more Love their wine and the atmospheric was outstanding. Will be returning as often as possible.

A local favorite of mine, I'd say! Especially if you're staying in the Banks, Forest Grove, or…read moreHillsboro area. This is one vineyard that's a short drive, and not very difficult to get to for being located in Cornelius. No long and windy roads is what I'm implying. An easy vineyard you can show out-of-town guest what Oregon wines are all about. I feel this would be a quick treat for them. Even after work, just to relax with a glass and charcuterie board, we've been here! ~ The Views (or a view) ~ If you've seen the yelp pics on the views, then that's exactly all you'll get. You can chill inside for a tasting or out on the patio while enjoying an excellent view of the vineyard. On a clear sunny day, you can see Mt Hood in the background. Down below the patio, at vineyard-level, there are a few wooden beach chairs and picnic tables as well. It's relaxing wherever you choose really, to say the least. ~ Reds, Whites, and You ~ If you're looking for a white chard that's not too sweet, then this is your place! Their wines are simple enough to enjoy. I don't recall having a bad pour. But like practically every vineyard in Oregon, they too serve pinot noirs. I personally have more of an earthy pallet, so I do not have a taste for pinot gris or rieslings, but theirs I did admire. You'll have to try them for yourself. Again, I believe all their variations can satisfy anyone's pallet. ~ Owners, Staff, and Service ~ At one of the member events, we did get the opportunity to meet the owners, and their pup. All of them really down-to-earth people in my opinion. But I would like to give credit to Mach and Melissa as well. These two hustle! Not for you to just purchase their wines and join the club, but they're attentive on what you'd be interested in. Thank your Mach and Melissa for your generous and friendly hospitality. We've had questions, they've had answers. This little winery just gives you everything you'd expect from a winery. Case and point!

I love sake and I was so happy to find this place on Yelp so I can experience my favorite tasting…read moremenu. I didn't take pictures so I need to go back soon, I highly recommend trying everything and I can't wait to come back! Stellar

It's not every day you get to sample premium sake. To be truthful, I never really knew much about…read moresake, other than the good stuff is best served cold. My usual M.O. with sake is a small, hot carafe when I have sushi. But my experience here has made me rethink this incredible beverage. I opted for the Daiginjo flight, which I highly recommend. Daiginjo is the best form of sake, with the process polishing down the rice grain to 50% or less of its original volume. The ones I had ranged from 40% to 50%. I'm not sure exactly what this does, but I can sure tell you, it makes a massive difference in the smoothness and taste. The first 3 sakes in the sampler are from Japan; the last is their exclusive sake made right in Forest Grove. Here's my take on the sakes I had: The Murai Family was aromatic and slightly floral. The Hakutsuru: smooth, slight fruitiness, subtle, with an interesting aftertaste on the back sides of my tongue. The Yoshi No Gawa was smoother with a slight tang at the back of my tongue. And last but not least, the in-house Nagata had a nice balance of bold, silky, and fruity/floral. I even admired its "legs" as I did a swirl to see viscosity. After the flight, I decided on a cocktail, the Blackberry Lime Martini. Tart, sweet, deliciousness. When I left, I bought a bottle of Sho-Une, which didn't break the bank, but is supposed to be great for the price point. I'm saving it for a special occasion. I'm looking forward to visiting this fine establishment again.

If you're lucky enough to go when Joe is working - he is the best and always makes my wine tasting experience so fun! I highly recommend trying every variation of their wines. I went from being a periscope girly to getting a case of multiple different wines and bubbles. I love that they are dog friendly and we can relax in the tasting room. Can't wait to visit again!

Occasionally, they have a food truck come up and serve food. They do have your basic cheese,…read morechocolate, cracker, etc. plate they'll put together for you. We became members here just on a random visit but if you know Joe or once you've met Joe, who generally is the one working both locations... Well, how could you not want to join! And most important of all, the wine is delicious! Every bottle is named after a airplane or member or event, etc. part of any and all military positions. So it makes a very unique! Both locations are very beautiful and all I can say is you actually need to visit both! This winery is military based, and although we are not military, we love what this place is founded on and what they support. The forest Grove location is a cute little hole in the wall winery and I believe you can sit outside as well. It is in the heart of downtown Forest Grove so everything is in walking distance! The old Highway 47 location is perched up on a hill just down the road from Henry Haag Lake and if you look closely, you can see, Helens and one other mountain. You sit back relax look over the vineyards and if you're lucky there might be somebody playing some live music. They also have seating options for inside the highway location, which has AC and heat depending on the weather. You should definitely try out dauntless wine! You won't regret it.
