The owners - Karen and Joe are passionate about Oregon wine. What impresses me most is that everything is done with purpose and with class. The location, the design of the winery, the gardens, the service, the food and the wine are all quite exceptional. If you come for a visit, the first words out of your mouth will likely be "wow". After that you'll be questioning yourself on why you didn't find this gem sooner.

Michael was the chef, and his presentations rival any Michelan rated chef. We had a four course tasting menu, and 5 wines, with bonus desserts at the end.  Every course was beautiful and delicious. Michael explains each food course, while our host Jessica explains the wine it is being prepared with. There wasn't a course that wasn't anything less than exceptional. However, if we had to choose, the real standout was the corn with winter mushrooms. The presentation looked like corn on the cob, but underneath there was a delicious creamy polenta, that surrounded by seasonal mushrooms.  We were informed that Chef Michael changes the menu regularly so no two experiences will be the same.

I love attention and details about a winery/Vineyard and the setting and friendliness from my host. The wines can be average if the experience shines. My visit Thursday was met with indifference and that alone was off-putting. The person in charge was glued to her computer behind the counter any time she wasn't pouring for us. She added nothing to our stay at Illahe Winery. I will be hard pressed to suggest Illahe to friends and I had such high hopes. Reading about the philosophy of this winery for years created a vision that probably couldn't be matched but I'd always swore I would visit. Diane and I were most disappointed.

There are so many amazing wineries in Oregon, but what truly makes Van Duzer stand out is the experience and how personal and welcoming it feels.

Welcomed with their Pinot Noir Rosé and did a four glass tasting of their reds. Tried their charcuterie. Took in the misty view as the fog rolled in with the winds over the valley.

Stopped here on way to and from the coast from Salem. Nice place. Nice knowledgeable staff…read more Several interesting ciders. One favorite of mine is Folklore. It is a standout because it is a dry cider made from cider apples. Since cider began to gain popularity in the last few years, a lot of cider makers make cider from eating/dessert apples. Traditional cider apples are hard to come by. Eating apples tend to not have a lot of flavor once the sugar is fermented away. Traditional cider apples have more complex profiles, beyond sugar. Folklore is made from cider apples. It is dry with complex character, full flavor, and an apple "nose". I brought home a growler jug and it kept well over a few days, with the flavor holding up well and the apple aroma becoming more apparent as the carbonation subsided slightly. This cider was reminiscent of draft ciders I had in UK made of apples such as Kingston black and Yarlington mill, though it is less intense, and less alcoholic. A pint of those would knock me on my keister. Folklore is more moderate. Anyway. Living in socal sadly won't be getting this much. This is especially true, as Folklore is made in small batches and it varies batch to batch based on limited availability of cider apples. Hopefully in the future Cider apples will become more common.

We seriously could not stop talking about how amazing this was the entire rest of our trip. Thank you Niki!!
