SB is the Oregon winery to visit. Their service is impeccable, always friendly-regardless of how…read morebusy they are you always feel like the priority guest-and they are extremely knowledgeable about all their wines. They have several spaces for tastings, both for members and guests new to SB, indoor and outdoor, kid and dog friendly, with an incredible view of the not only the vineyards but the mountains. They have several small bite food options, the charcuterie or cheese boards are perfectly paired with the tasting menu choices for that day, there was a fresh baked focaccia today that was heaven. Oh and I have not even mentioned the fantastic wines yet. Whether you are a red or white fan, like whole cluster or small, tannins or less tannins, sweet or full bodied reds, you can find them at SB. And that is not to say they make such a variety that they are spread thin cause that's what I would think if I read that. They are meticulous about every wine they make, it's special, has specific flavors, pairs with particular foods well, each year with its vintage that every one has their own favorites of. We have member members for over a decade, their wine, the winery, and the people are the perfect combination.

This was the first time visiting. My sister and I were on our way to the beach. It was a wonderful…read moreexperience. The grilled ham and cheese sandwich paired beautifully with the wine. It was all so delectable. So I had to join the club. So glad we finally stopped in. Isaac was a fun and engaging young man and very knowledgeable. We hope to see him next time we stop in. Thank you.

We visited Domaine Drouhin in mid-July, specifically seeking it out because this region sits on the…read moresame parallel as the Beaune region of France, which we have also visited last year. We did the 1880 Connection to compare wines from Beaune to Oregon and this was an amazing experience. From the start, when we walked in, we were warmly greeted until the time we left, we had an absolutely extraordinary experience. Our host, Connor, was phenomenal. He was exceptionally well-versed and shared a wealth of knowledge about the wine and the estate. Every single wine we tasted was an unforgettable experience in itself. After our tasting, we walked up to the garden on the hill overlooking the vineyards, and the views were simply breathtaking. It was the perfect finale to a wonderful visit. We cannot recommend this place highly enough and definitely want to go back! Thank you to Connor (also Vincent - helped us with our French) for an amazing and fun time.

An industry friend recommended Domaine Drouhin and it was on our list of wineries to visit so we…read moredecided drive two hours through incredibly heavy rains to make the visit. There were no tastings available, but given the weather we had just driven through to get there, and bc my friend is a certified somm with the CMS, we decided simply to create our own tasting experience from the single pour options made available. Other reviewers have also mentioned it, but when we sought input from the staff to make our initial wine selections, our experience of service was underwhelming. It was frankly a little disappointing given the status and caliber of the house. Gratefully we met Ben who was solidly helpful; he appreciative of our Quest to create a meaningful tasting experience for ourselves, even if we had not been able to score an appointment with a venue host. He was very knowledgeable and spoke to with us without condescension, intelligently answering our questions about the vineyards, wine making processes, and house history. With his help we also learned about some excellent options for dining in the area. Ben poured our selection of four wines and we chose to take the glasses outside on the patio as the rain had stopped. We helped another couple with photos they were trying to take, and then were able to film a few tasting clips against the picturesque back drop of the vineyards. We ordered a serving of the gougères, which came out warm and were delicious. I picked up a bottle of the Zeraphine Pinot Noir for the friend who had recommended the winery, and Mac picked up three bottles including the estate chardonnay, to return to Canada with. All in all a solid self-guided tasting and learning experience.

Every time I come to Durant, I'm reminded of why it's my favorite! The wines are wonderful, the…read morefood is always delicious (the meat and cheese boards are a fav for me and my friends), the views are stunning, and the staff is incredible!! I highly recommend either starting or ending your day there by visiting the gift shop, trying the various olive oils (with olives they grow there! Fun fact: the arbequina is what Salt & Straw uses in their olive oil ice cream) and vinegars. They have unique seasonings and salts and tons of lovely dish wares. You can even visit the nursery portion and take home your own olive tree! 10/10 experience every single time and the membership is totally worth it! Plus they're dog friendly!

We love this place. It was a lovely experience. Claudette attended to us and she was excellent and…read moreso knowledgeable about wine. Great view of valley. It was very, very sad - and spoiled the outing when,- after purchasing wine and olive oil tastings and purchasing wines and purchasing olive oils and whatnots we took 5 minutes to eat a bite under the shade of a tree before we got on the road. It was very hot. Literally, we were standing under a tree - not camping there - and a young woman came out and told us to "eat in our car." She was unkind. I am sad. I was recently widowed and this was one of my first outings. TALK ABOUT A BUM'S Rush!!! Yes, we've got your money, so GET OUT!!! We'll be back because we loved everything except the last 5 minutes. I want to cry now- but that's how people are now...
