The staff here... every one I've met, are not only super nice and helpful but very knowledgeable... and there's no attitude even if you browse and leave empty handed... the vibe is very chill. And...

I suppose in case you are having a Jäger emergency and need to drink it cold right away. This store is very clean and well ordered. The staff is nice and they are just a few doors down from Safeway. They also have a humidor and sell cigars if you want to puff and sip. Until Oregon wises up and lets you buy your alcohol at the grocery store, this is my best local option.

He has an incredible selection of both full and half bottles to pick from, and is very helpful if you're in search of something special but don't really know how to go about deciding.

Don't want NW Pinot?, fine, try something delicious from Italy or France. Andrew also stays on top of the best of the best from the many small vineyards in the area and keeps you in the know related to special opportunities. Highly recommend this business!

We were wandering around downtown Newberg when the skies decided to open up. Unprepared for the…read morerain and with a couple of hours to kill, we decided to seek shelter at VWM to check out the selection and talk to owner Andrew. When I go to a wine shop, I like to see how well organized the store is. I've been in some shops that have open cases of wine at every endcap and it feels disorganized and chaotic, not to mention it makes it very challenging to find anything. On this front, VWM has a well-organized selection and absolutely no clutter on the floors - two walls with wine, and a decent number of labels as well, and plenty of space to walk. The shop focuses on wines from Oregon, which makes sense. Perhaps 60% or more of the labels are from Oregon producers, and most of those are smaller producers that might not see a ton of distribution. There was also a decent selection of champagnes as well as a smattering of still wines from France (mostly Burgundy), Italy, etc. This is a very well-curated selection with some unique wines as well - when's the last time you've seen Beaujolais Blanc or the Saint-Amour cru from Beaujolais? And not to worry if you don't know the first thing about wine. Andrew, the owner, is incredibly knowledgable and knows all of his wines inside out. Whether you're looking for something specific or not sure what to go, you will almost certainly leave the shop with a wine you'll love and within the budget you indicated. In terms of price, you may be able to find some of the wines more cheaply than VWM's price. I looked up a few labels compared to retail prices for shops in my home state and found VWM is about 10% more expensive on average, however I'd gladly pay slightly more to receive the value-added knowledge that Andrew adds to the buying experience - details about the producer, its history, its winemaker, the site, etc. Although many of us that travel to the region are there to visit wineries and do tastings, if you're looking for an excellent shop where you can find some Oregon's best producers all in one place, VWM is definitely the place. Best part is that they can ship to most states so you don't have to worry about carrying a case (or two) of wine back on an airplane and wondering if it'll survive the journey home.

We had a very frustrating experience while trying to plan our wedding here…read more During our tour, my fiancée initially mentioned the 10th, but I immediately corrected the date to the 9th. Toward the end of the tour, we looked at the calendar together and discussed the 9th as our date. We left under the impression that everything was settled and came back the next day to confirm it. That's when we were told that the small wedding package is only available Sunday-Thursday and that Saturdays in October were not an option. The representative later acknowledged that the date had indeed been corrected to the 9th while we were looking at the calendar and apologized for not clarifying the Saturday restriction at that time. I understand that the package information sheet stated Sunday-Thursday, but when you're sitting down with the venue representative, going through the calendar and selecting a date together, I feel that an important restriction like Saturdays not being allowed should have been brought up when we selected the 9th. Instead, we found out only when we returned to confirm our date. What was especially frustrating was that we were essentially left having to change our plans because something that should have been clarified during the appointment wasn't. I appreciate that they apologized and acknowledged the misunderstanding, but it was still a very disappointing experience when you're trying to plan something as important as your wedding.

I love my kids, but sometimes I just want to hang out with my friends w/o any kids around, so bravo Tumwater. The staff seem to love their jobs even when they are running around, and they do run around alot. The manager is super personable and loves what she does and it shows. Can't say enough good things, so i'll end it there. I'm so glad I found my little spot to be, and they always remember my name!!! (Cheers!)
