I purchased a Living Social coupon and it was due to expire. So, I while I had planned to use this…read morecoupon during the sunny summer months,alas, here it was late October and the rain had started. This property is off the beaten path, but well signed and you have to know in advance that this location is at the end of Dick Road (so keep going). I had looked it up on the map and noticed that fact so I knew that at the end of the road there would be the vineyard. We pulled up to a house but it had various golf carts and other implements around so it appeared that no one resided there. The sign on the front door said join us outside on the patio just down the stairs. So, we followed down the stairs (I'm not sure what you do if you cannot do stairs--it looks like you maybe able to pull around on another side but I'm not clear on that) I would probably call first if I had any kind of mobility issues. We walked a little ways and saw a lighted room and so we went inside. Turns out this is the bathroom and not where they were wine tasting. We kept walking through the patio and there was no one in site. Finally, we spotted a large tent that was put up and the tasting area was set up there. We walked in and were casually greeted by a young girl who proceeded to tell us what they were out of and wanted to know if we wanted to taste a wine. I said that we had a coupon for the lunch basket and she wanted the info off of that and she would go and make it up. She then took off to go do that leaving us huddled on some damp chairs under the tent with another couple. It was about 48 degrees under the tent and they had heaters for the outdoors but they weren't lit. The YS and I were beginning to think we should get the food to go and forget the wine. Then the owner Melinda came out and asked if we wanted to taste a wine and proceeded to tell us a bit about them and we decided to split a tasting. She told us about how their vineyard as well as their farm acreage (they have about 70 acres). While we were talking the girl brought out the food and set it down not saying anything to anyone. I later asked Melinda if that was for us and she said yes. Melinda also quickly lit the heaters when she got out there she said that her helper (the girl from earlier) didn't know how to do it. I think the girl needs some training as she's doing a great business a real disservice. We ended up eating our lunch which was very tasty and bought a bottle of wine to enjoy with our lunch as well as two bottles to take home. I will say that our first impression was not a great one based on the girl and her demeanor we were going to eat and leave. Melinda is very friendly and customer service oriented. I will definitely be back again. If we didn't have two wine club memberships already we would have joined theirs as they have fun events with the wine pick ups as well as other events open to the general public. Beautiful setting, I would highly recommend.

Since it's be closest Winery to our house we had to check it out! We were very pleased with the…read morewines and venue. The only critique is that the grounds were not kept up as well as they could be. This spot could be a true gem!

CHO Wines takes sparkling to a new level. My friends and I were excited to reserve a tasting at…read moreCHO, and communication was very easy. We added the caviar treat to our tasting as well. Upon arrival, you notice everything is very simple, clean, yet homey and elegant. Lois Cho met us as we walked in with a taste of one of their many delicious sparklings, and she told us briefly about their history. She said, if you see it, it's me; if you taste it, it's Dave. The open and airy tasting room was full of sun, and you could see the beautiful views if you opted for an indoor seating. We were outside, and the breathtaking views and crisp fall air just fills your soul. The venue is family friendly, and we actually got to meet one of the Cho's children. Dave's mother ( I believe) tends to the beautiful flowers and fall decor that was set up. There is grass area seating, tables, and covered. When the sun overtook us, we were offered another area to sit. I hate that I failed to get the name of the girl who took care of us. She really went above and beyond. Each and every wine tasted was amazing. There were even some varietals of sparkling that I do not favor, and the taste of those surpassed my expectation. They give you enough time to taste the wine, to get pictures, to enjoy the property, even between the pours. We were allowed to revisit a few, and our party ended up racking up quite a haul. Cho Winery absolutely leaves you with a peaceful spirit. I love seeing the family and hearing the stories. I hope my path takes me up to this absolutely stunning venue again one day.

Visited the Willamette Valley area with friends the weekend before Thanksgiving. I joined Cho's…read morewine club earlier that year one of our goals was to visit but we didn't have a packed schedule. We actually attended an event in the afternoon that Cho was part of and were able to visit with Dave. We knew when we headed to Cho we were too late for a tasting but were hoping to squeeze a glass in before the they closed. My friend really wanted me to see the tasting room cause he knew I was a member and would appreciate the space. Thank you to the team and Lois for accommodating us. It was a fight day and we were there late so I definitely will be back when it's lighter out. Really loved the space warm and welcoming and reflecting their culture as a fellow Asian American I loved it!! I already knew the wine would be wonderful otherwise I wouldn't have joined. But another goal of my friend's was to have their Rock Syrah it's one of his favorites. We drank it there and bought a bottle of the Syrah West to enjoy back at our hotel as we had some time to waster before dinner. Can't wait to visit the area again always a pleasure to visit with Lois and Dave was nice to be able to do it in Oregon instead Seattle.

My husband and I stopped in on a lovely fall Saturday while some of the grapes were being…read moreharvested. We have tasted at wineries all across California and Oregon (relaxed all the way to fancy), and we tend to prefer places like Oak Knoll. It just feels like everyone is welcome, we get to pick which wines we want to taste, and there's a bottle of something for every preference. $15 for 6 2-ish oz pours and there were more than 12 wines available, so my husband and I each made our picks with only 1 overlap and got to try most of the offerings. We stock all kinds of wine in the house: red, white, bold, dry, sweet, earthy, blackberry, and more. We bought a bottle of the white blend and twilight blush because they were delightful and flavors we felt were missing from our cabinet. I see us stopping by a couple of times a year for an easy afternoon date to get some fresh air, sip a variety of wines, talk and decompress, and still have enough money to take home a bottle or two without breaking the bank. Staff was lovely; warm and friendly without being pretentious or pushy. Thank you!

Came for a holiday magnum as a Christmas gift, didn't love the wine, but thought a membership could…read morebe cool to enjoy the wineries activities. Then, I forgot about it. Stopped in today to see - did I have a membership? I know I used a card that's tied to an old email - so really truly unsure. Figured it would be a no or a pickup. Instead; when I wanted to try a wine to see if it was worth drinking, I got the third degree. I dared to ask for a wine on the wall behind the counter - apparently those aren't wines that they have but a display of old ones. LOL: So I ascertained from the experience that I won't likely want to come back so I requested cancellation. No hard feelings - nothing bad - just not my deals Then was asked why - well, I'm from California wine country and I don't want to continue to he a member at a winery with wine I don't enjoy and a vibe I don't like. Kudos to the other worker who got the hint and helped me to checkout. This place is lovely and clearly has a strong following so much love to local businesses like this. I just would have loved a little kindness (reminder this was an issue with one of the workers and not the other - she was a delight!!)
