Quiet and cute patio and inside space is cute. My Pinot noir was pretty good, Pinot Gris was less than meh. Didn't too much care for wine in plastic cups..... I'd come back, but I think there is a lot of opportunity to enhance the experience. The woman at the front was friendly, but the other person didn't provide much help or options when we arrived. read more

The overall experience here was absolutely 5 stars! There are a lot of wineries / wine bars in Portland, and this was at the top of my list because of the vegan charcuterie board options. FYI: the charcuterie vending machine was temporary, and they are now back to an a la carte charcuterie board menu. I had a tasting flight, and enjoyed the depth of flavors and variety in the wines -- lots of unique and beautiful fruit notes! I ordered the vegan balsamic cheese and OMG!!! Soooo creamy and delicious!! I also ordered the mushroom jerky -- well worth it! It's not as tough as beef jerky, which makes it easier to eat. And the flavor is bomb -- definitely tastes like mushrooms and jerky mixed together. The kind lady working the business on the day we visited gave me extra complimentary crackers and apricots. :) She was absolutely wonderful, and it's safe to say the service here was top notch. It was an unusually cold day in Portland (just after their unprecedented snowstorm this year!), so the seating room was crazy cold. That's my only complaint. Lol Highly recommend this business, and hope to go back for more vegan cheese and jerky when I can! read more

We enjoyed every single wine on the tasting menu, plus a few pours, and left with four bottles to drink at home. With affordable prices and family-run feel, this is a can't-miss stop on any Willamette Valley wine tour. Highlights included adaptations to the pandemic with hepa filters circulating the air, the full tasting flight served at once to pour at your own pace, and a well-stocked charcuterie vending machine with DIY boards. This is what immunocompromised individuals' dreams are made of (or at least mine). Laura was very knowledgeable and engaging and we could have chatted with her all day! Can't wait to visit again! read more

You need to come here. I am a club member at another urban winery in Oregon and I've been to a lot of wineries in Oregon. The wine here is outstanding. Come for the charcuterie vending machine and stay for the amazing wine. I was impressed by all of the pinot noirs, the skin contact pinot gris, and the cab sauv. Every wine tasted beautifully. read more

I found this winery when researching cellars that will delivery to home during the Shelter in Place restrictions (I'm writing this during the COVID-19 pandemic). I picked Boedecker to support local and was totally blown away by the wines I chose. I'm not sure you can go wrong with any of the Pinot Noirs and am looking forward to making my next purchase. God knows I need good wine right now! read more

Do yourself a favor and visit Boedecker Cellars! My partner and I have visited on 2 special occasions and it was really special both times. We did wine tasting both times and next time we plan to buy a bottle and hang out. The person serving us wine was really knowledgeable and had answers to our questions. I'm exited to take guests here next time I have people in town. read more

This is a wondering winery taking all the appropriate precautions regarding COVID. The wine was fantastic and the server was great at explaining all the little nuances of the wine as well being able to explain the Umpqua Ava versus the willamette Ava read more

I have been a fan of the Boedecker's since they were in Carlton, and now their studio for the past couple of years is conveniently in NW PDX. This couple has a passion for good wine and its economical. They are throwing events like soup nights and harvest tastings regularly. In fact, last night, I went to a wine club happy hour pairing of their rose and two pinots. The tables were donned with white cloths and bottles of wines with candles lit. The wine was each accompanied by a wonderful appetizer - balsamic strawberries and goat cheese, shitake mushroom frisee salad and a crouton of pork and chutney. I have to admit - I joined their wine club on the spot! Glad you are close! Beautiful space for events too when its not filled with the oaking barrels! Tasting room is tres chic minimalism. Encourage you to stop in for a sip of your own! read more

I got the opportunity to check this place out because my friends had a fourth reservation space available. They are all huge into wine and I am definitely a newbie in the area. It should stand as a testament to this location that both they and I were entertained and enjoyed the wine as well as the tour and the personable staff. Boedecker, named after its founders only about ten years ago, is full on PNW charm; the employee working today during my visit told us that the furthest south the winery goes to acquire its fruit is Eugene, Oregon. Boedecker Cellars also has dueling Pinot Noirs--one named after founder Athena and one named after founder Stewart--made to highlight different flavors in various Pinot Noirs. All in all, it was a great first wine tasting experience for me and certainly worth it for the others present. They were all there using a current deal: $22 for two to have wine tasting, snacks, and go home with a bottle of wine for your trouble. Not too shabby. read more

Great service and really enjoyable wines! Several good wine options for both bottles and glasses. Lots of seating in a nice warehouse. Looking forward to going back with my pup to enjoy some wine. My favorite part was the "build your own charcuterie" board using their charcuterie vending machine. Parking is easy and plentiful. read more

Did a tasting and was impressed with the overall experience. One of the owners was on site and she was delightful. The wines are excellent and we left with a few bottles of Pinot noir, which rival any of the beat the region has to offer. It is in the NW industrial part of Portland so it is convenient. Highly recommend this for a tasting experience, for the service, and the wine. read more

An amazing AMAZING tasting room. Burt was extremely attentive to us and gave us a wonderful tasting. Athena was extremely nice and prepared a charcuterie plate for us and brought us more crackers when we ran out. The rose we tried was very good and refreshing for a hot summer day. I ended up taking a bottle of that home! I want to come back for a bottle of the bumper sticker which is a very easy to drink red. Very delicious I'm excited to come back and visit them both! read more

Wanted a little more info on the wines but it was busy in there. Lovely couple. Lovely wine and lovely decor

Our first visit to Boedecker Cellars for a event last night was a great surprise. They have a wonderful tasting room in an architecturally interesting older warehouse. Be sure to look up at the wooden arches for roof supports. Right off the tasting room is a open barrel room with additional seating. Boedecker wines are tasty & complex yet approachable for this simple wine lover. We eagerly purchased two bottle and look forward to enjoying them before our next gathering with friends. Thanks Stewart & Athena for your gracious hospitality read more

Apparently if you reserve a car online, that doesn't guarantee it will actually be there when you go to Avis to pick it up. (I should write a separate ranting review for Avis...) Anyway, our plan to visit the vineyards fell through, so we decided to make the most of being stranded in Portland. Solution: urban wineries. This experience is completely different than visiting a vineyard in Dundee, but it was still a wonderful afternoon. It isn't really fair to compare the rolling vineyard hills to NW Industrial parking lots, so I'm trying to review Boedecker Cellars for what it is. And I should also mention what it is not. It is not a fancy, elaborate tasting room, but a small and simple space. This place is about wine, and that is it. However, that is certainly enough! The wine here is wonderful, and priced fairly. Bottles range from $15-$65, and you'll get a quality wine at any price point. A tasting is $10, but that's waived if you buy a bottle. Since the atmosphere doesn't lend to relaxing and drinking wine all day, I suggest a quick, informative tasting, and then taking a bottle (or a few) home. I came in on a quiet weekend afternoon, so there were only a few other people tasting and stocking up on bottles. Based on the yelp photos others posted, it looks like they hold events here as well. I'll have to keep an eye out for that! I'll definitely be back to stock up on "special bottles" (which to me and my boyfriend, as students, means anything over $10). If you're into Pinots definitely look into joining the wine club... You can find out all about it when you go, but it may be worth it to have a local source for quality, affordable wine. read more

Nice little wine bar in the NW industrial area. Not the same as others where they really understand what they are selling, they buy various grapes from various places under various labels. Seemed a bit cliquish. We did attend a barrel type party there once which was fun. read more

This winery is a little gem in the industrial neighborhood of NW. I'm tentative to write a review because I don't want to let others in on my secret! Stewart and Athena are completely down-to-earth winemakers, and you can usually spot them somewhere around the winery. The wine club is super fun, and Athena creates great little snacks for every release event. We joined this wine club because we love every single wine we taste. If you don't feel like driving out to Dundee, head over to Boedecker! read more

I've been here three times and I'm impressed. Staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. Wines are quite good. I recommend!

I love Boedecker Wines! Their pinots are phenomenal. My wife prefers the Stewart and I prefer the Athena so we always have to get both! The entire Pappas line is amazing and a great value. I highly recommend! We've never been disappointed by anything that we've opened from them! read more

The best wine, the greatest hospitality and all without the 45 minute drive to wine country! They are my favorite producers of Oregon Pinot Noir- hands down. There's no better place to relax and enjoy a glass of wine as you gaze into their barrel cellars. Go there---you'll be happy you did. read more

The wines of Boedecker Cellars pair great with a variety of foods, and the entire line is consistently good. From the casual glass of Rose on a summer day to the full bodied Pinot Noir at dinner - the flavors mix well with food or alone. I would recommend these for both the new wine person as well as the experienced connoisseur. We always buy by the case and we've never regretted a single purchase, except that we didn't buy more! Exceptional wines from hardworking, dedicated and "real people" owners. read more

I really love this little winery. I went recently to their Monday Night Happy Hour and was really impressed with their wines and staff. I also had the opportunity to meet the owners, a really nice couple. Since it's in Portland I can get my tasting room fix w/o having to drive all the way wine country. I'll be bringing friend and family in when they come to town as a nice afternoon activity. read more

my coworker and i go here almost every Saturday after work. the place is simple, and comfortable. the wines are fantastic. Bert, the tasting room manager is truly top notch. If you have a chance, pop in. You will love it. read more
