A sparking Pinot Blanc and a complex, delightful Chardonnay started the wine introduction while the Pinot Noirs at the end are extraordinary and memorable. Enhancing our tasting was a delicious charcuterie board. Our wine advisor has a deep passion for the vinyard, the wine they make and pride for being from the Willamette Valley. The biodynamic farming practices remind me of the wineries of France and Italy that many of the wineries practice. I pray this beautiful winery and this region doesn't change when the crowds discover this slice of heaven.

My mother and I went here in the summer of 2023 and really loved our visit. As a birthday treat my mother bought me a wine tasting for two with a special charcuterie board through Groupon as a birthday gift again this year to use in the summer or around my birthday in September. We weren't able to come back until late fall, but the nice thing about the Groupon is that it lasted for six months. It's a fabulous deal because you get a tasting for two and a chaucuterie cheese and cracker plate to share for an affordable price. This place is one of the few vineyards that has a unique experience like this and a good offer through Groupon. We came back this November (2025) and Crystal helped us. She was so kind and showed us true hospitality. I felt like we were with a good, loyal friend. The wine was fantastic, but when we explained that we only wanted it for our wine tasting and didn't need any to take home, she wasn't upset or bothered. She truly wanted us to enjoy our tasting experience and create a special memory. We talked about wine, cats, and aging. All the important things in life. The cheese and crackers were really nice. We were almost done eating our delights when she offered us more pita chips and walnuts that actually came right from their walnut trees. They were so good. I should have asked if they sold them there. The drive out to the winery is beautiful too. I would definitely recommend this winery to all my wine loving friends.

Although there is a prescribed tasting menu, Kat asked us what we liked and then proceeded to pour from their extensive list of wines. Kat is very knowledgeable about wines and easily one of the best we have come across in this business. Gran Moraine makes incredible wines. Although the wines were excellent, the star of the day goes to Kat. We enjoyed several wines with a few that truly stood out from the rest. Tastings were comped with the purchase of a few bottles and Kat provided us with sparkling water and truffle popcorn for the road. Gran Moraine was our last tasting on this trip and as the saying goes, we saved the best for last. We will definitely return to Gran Moraine in the future and we hope Kat is still there when we return.
