A nice tasting room in the center of Cannon Beach with good wines and friendly employees…read more We knew that we wanted to get some wine while visiting the area and used Yelp to find this tasting room. The actual winery is in Washington, but I would still consider that local. The number of wines offered was impressive. They had a large selection of whites, reds, and an even larger selection of sweet wines. We each did a tasting which offered five samples so that we could try more of the wines. I liked everything I tasted, but my favorite was the Pear Riesling. All of the wines were smooth and had nice flavor. The employee that did our tastings was friendly. He knew a lot about the winery and the wines we were tasting. He made conversation while we tried our wines and added to the tasting experience. The wine tasting room is on the small side, but was comfortable and clean. There is a tasting counter and then an area of food and other items for sale. Some of the wines for purchase are already refrigerated which was nice.

You get to taste 5 different wines, from an extensive list, and the tasting fee is waived if you buy a bottle. At this point, many of the grapes for their wines are sourced from eastern Washington, and notably Columbia Valley. Standouts for me were the Smoky Nor'wester, a Bordeaux Red Blend; and the Surfer Syrah. The Syrah was good and peppery, but on par with other readily available Columbia Valley Syrahs, so I went with a bottle of the smooth and balanced Smoky Nor'wester (hint: the name doesn't describe the flavor). My wife really enjoyed the "Rapture of the Deep", a sparkling cranberry wine. We came home with a bottle of that, too. If you are visiting Seaside, and enjoy wine, I would highly recommend stopping in for a visit.

I enjoy their Sangria and took a bottle to my sister & niece in Montana. My hubby loves Syrah and enjoyed it so much he bought a bottle of that also!

We were on a camping trip with our pop up trailer so venturing into a small town can be tricky but the winery had RV parking which was a bonus! We loved the apple cranberry and Willapa Red blend.

I've been a member ever since my first visit and I've never had a bad experience. I've tried almost every wine they have on their menu and there is NOT a bad one! There is a wine for every kind of wine lover on their menu and I am elated that they now have bubbles. Every single one of the staff that I've encountered has been beyond accommodating and gracious! They make you feel welcomed and never pretentious (like some of the wineries around town). I've been wine tasting in Napa, South Africa, Australia, France, Spain and a few I'm forgetting and the service I've received here is definitely top 3! I love that the atmosphere here is laid back and welcoming. You can come as you are, wine expert or newbie and you will be welcomed just the same. Do yourself a favor and just visit!

Blue Heron French Cheese Company was a bit of an impromptu and unexpected stop for us. We wanted to…read moredo something in the area that wasn't the Tillamook cheese factory and Yelp directed us here. I'm so glad it did. They have a shop with cheese, wine, ice cream, snack options and lots of other items. There is also an area outside where you can sit and enjoy your food. They have animals on the property and we purchased some feed for them inside the shop. It's only $1 a bag so we bought lots and headed out to meet them. I loved spending time with the animals but they were not at all interested in the feed. We happened to be eating a sandwich and they were much more interested in that. They have a wide range of animals, from sheep to alpacas and donkeys and ducks and chickens and even peacocks. There's lots to see. That said, I can't really give them five stars because like a lot of the reviews mention, the state of some of the animals is concerning. As much as I enjoyed interacting with them, there were things about their care and surroundings that made me feel really sad. Something I did really appreciate though is that this location allows you to camp overnight in your RV or van for free. This is a huge perk when you're traveling through the area. Because we got here late in the afternoon. We did end up staying the night, but if you decide to take advantage of that be prepared for the bugs. There were so many bugs. There is plenty to see and do here and this place definitely has a lot going for it. If you're road tripping this is a good place to stop. You can get supplies, spend some time with the animals and have a safe place to spend the night.
