Another Yelper commented that their visit was like walking into Cheers and we totally echo that! We left with a bottle of the Cabernet Sauvignon and the Sangiovese and are looking forward to enjoying them at home. We will definitely be back when we find ourselves in downtown Sherwood!

Fast forward to today, we own a car and decided it was time to find a more local option. After visiting Hawks View this past weekend I can say we've accomplished that and then some. This place sits firmly in the sweet spot of not being too "dinky" or small and not being too stuffy or corporate. I know we all have our preferences, I just like for my environment to be laid back or relaxed. The wines are fantastic here. Keep in mind, I'm no connoisseur of fine wine but I do know good from bad. Beyond the wine, we love this place due to the view (of course) but also the fact you can parlay your wine allocation pick up with a rotating menu of food. Makes for a great little weekend getaway or drive in the car.

She completely ignored us as we stood in the foyer, obviously waiting to be seated. If you're going to work in hospitality, at least be cordial. We finally were taken care of by Sam who made up for our initial impression. Sam was warm, friendly, and hospitable which complimented the great wines we tasted. There wasn't a bad wine in the bunch. The zucchini bites were a tad bland but the cheese/charcuterie made up for it. Beautiful facility, views, and great wines.

This time, I brought my friends from Hillsboro, one who is hesitant about most wines, especially reds. This place convinced her that reds can be good, so I take a lot of pride in being able to show her and her husband this gem. They said they'll definitely take their parents here too. The views are amazing, the people are friendly, and tipping is very much optional. I recommend doing the tasting and then getting a glass and strolling the property. There are adirondak chairs out front and picnic tables out back. They'll open up the glass folding windows in the tasting room on breezy days. There are beautiful flowers all over the property. Some of the wines are named after the owners' dogs - Delilah's Cuvee is my favorite!

The owner, Diane, is an inspiration; she not only farms and maintains her entire vineyard, but she is also the wine maker and proprietor of the entire establishment! She is 100% responsible for all aspects of her operation, from vine to bottle, and everything in between! Talk about sustainability and quality control! All of her hard work shows in each bottle of her wine selection! Diane, personally, walks you through the wine tasting, pouring, serving, and answers questions about each vintage! The views of the vineyard, as your sipping wines, and enjoying fresh, local charcuterie, were truly magical! I highly suggest this venue, for anyone looking for an out-of-the-ordinary EXTRAORDINARY wine tasting experience!

Diane is a wonderful host and she has a passion for wine making. The wine tasting was small, intimate, and special. I loved that she surprised us with some snacks and food she made. Diane gave us information about how the wine was made and specific notes of the wine and just overall did a great job. She's extremely friendly and reminds me of my family. I want more people to come experience what I did at Nemarniki Vineyard. My experience nothing short of incredible and I cannot wait to potentially come back in the future. The views from the house were stunning, and the atmosphere she created was beautiful. The wine tasting was $40/pp and you can book it through the phone. I was first skeptical when booking since there were only 2 reviews on Yelp but I'm glad I took a chance on this place. The wines were fantastic and I would highly suggest coming here versus other wineries/vineyards.

The wines are very good to excellent. We both chose their home flight, which paired a chardonnay and a Pinot noir served side by side. Interesting concept. We also ordered the charcuterie board which was amazing (pricey, too!). At the end, we decided to join their club because it just makes sense. If you go, you may decide that, too. It was a special experience and memorable. I recommend.

Very friendly and so willing to help you pick a wine and provided table service. The sparkling Blanc de Blanc was so amazing I broke my wine budget just to take a bottle home to my very picky man. He gave it the thumbs up, huge win!!, and it will become a splurge wine for us; we love dry sparkling wine.

We visited during a Wine Share month, a great way to discover new wineries without any risk. The Garden Cottage tasting room on the lower level of the property was not open in February so we enjoyed our tasting in the home. literally. We sat in the living room on couches around a coffee table while the adjacent dining room was being utilized by a party of 8. it was a great vibe, warm and inviting. Our host explained they use regenerative farming and winemaking processes. Their wines are aged in clay amphora casks, something we had never heard of, which imparts unique, earthy characteristics. Since the clay allows for a slow oxidation, the wine has softer flavors without the oak derived butter, vanilla and spice flavors. It's a middle ground between the oxidation of oak bottles and the more sterile stainless steal. We enjoyed the education and the wines! Would love to come back in the spring or summer for the full Garden Cottage experience. Since this is a small, family owned winery, tastings are by appointment only. Their website has the link.

We were unsure if it would be crowded or not, so we chose to arrive early enough to get a wine taste in before he started off his set. This location has a huge outdoor patio and great views. We opted to stay indoors and enjoyed our Charcuterie snacks that we brought for home and washed those down with some great varietals. Our server was great, and kept a close eye on us during our 2 hour plus visit. I would definitely go back for the good wines and the added bonus of bringing in your own food.

Dear greatest Hamacher, what a wonderful & delightful time I had at your facility lol!…read more I visited this winery over a month ago and I've still managed to talk about it at least 2X a week since. This was my first time at a vineyard and what a FANTASTIC time it was. The sommelier there was beyond amazing (I didn't catch his name silly me), the customer service was top tier and the property is beautiful! The sommelier was extremely attentive, exceedingly knowledgeable, eager to teach and I haven't been so pleased with a service before in my entire life. They allowed us to lounge around in between our wine tasting to walk the property, take pictures (both indoors and outdoors), even introduced me to some new snacks I hadn't tried (miso/caramel rice crispy I am indeed thinking of you) Man, where do I even begin. We decided to end our Oregon trip with this winery, that we actually found the previous day. We took an uber which was fairly cheap from downtown Portland and although the trek into the property was a bit sketchy, where else was I expecting a vineyard to be located lol. Upon arrival we were greeted and chose our seats. There were two types of wine tastings on the menu. One was of their seasonal wines and the other was one they would curate towards your liking in terms of what your enjoyed, we're looking to try, or what you were open to. And would you guess? We did BOTH options haha During this wine tasting, I have found my FAVORITE wine this far, which was actually ironic because they released the wine for the first time JUST the day prior, talk about perfect timing ehh. I have been pushing off ordering the wine, but will soon! The one I fell in love with is the Pinot Blanc by LERZI- it's a young wine, but the flavor is bold, fresh and sweet. It was honestly amazing and is the only wine I could care to even have in my collection lol The sommelier- what an awesome guy with amazing social skills! Took the time to explain wine history to us, explained the concept behind each wine we tried (that's 9 different wines we tried in total people), even how certain wines came about, how each were made and the history of certain wine regions and how the grapes there are produced. There was a reservation for the "vault" I'll call it, but it's just a separate tasting room. He told me there was a group coming and still let me go and run to take some pictures before they arrived. Which was perfect, because it is absolutely stunning! (I am not sure how many pictures I will be uploading for this place, but know that it is many haha). You know how first experiences mean a lot and are just a well held memory? I had such a wonderful time at this vineyard I am not sure how others will compare. Every single aspect tasted, experienced and saw here was absolutely amazing. Although we spent time here before heading to the airport, this experience def made the trip. Mostly, how welcoming everyone was! That is always something that sticks to ya! We visited mid-afternoon on a Monday and though there were people in and out, we felt like we had the place to ourselves lol! It was cozy, peaceful and quiet, even when others were there. It was very comfortable and felt like I could literally stay there all day. Being able to walk around the property while drinking wine, going to get your other glass and continue taking pictures was great. There was this essence of trust for us to be able to walk around and explore. That felt lighthearted and ofc added to the experience as well I look forward to visiting this winery again and it def made Oregon a place for me that I would love to double back on. I'll stop here, this review was long enough. I enjoyed myself thoroughly- and that surprised me the most.
