This is a beautiful drive from Portland. And the vineyard is gorgeous. We didn't have a reservation but the staff were very accommodating and we were able to do a tasting for five of us. We ordered the baked Brie and enjoyed ourselves walking the vineyard. It was a lovely day. read more

Even if you don't partake, this is a nice drive and good views. We had some of the cheeses, and tried the riesling and merlot, both very nice. would have liked a bit more information about them, but we read it ourselves. We walked the beautiful grounds a bit as well. read more

On your way to the coast? Stop by David Hill to get things started with a sip of wine overlooking the valley. This old white farm house, turned winery, is cute and the staff are very pleasant. I watched them take a van of 10 at last minute with no reservation. Other wineries will laugh at you if you show up without a resy! read more

Found this place by chance and honestly I didn't want to leave. We showed up with no reservation hoping they could get us in and the person working was very welcoming. The place was beautiful and I can't think of a better place to enjoy some absolutely wonderful wine. I will definitely be back and did I mention the wine was great! read more

David Hill Winery - Wineries Near Me - Forest Grove, Oregon

It was spontaneous plan and decided to visit, it was on the list of wine passport. They have two flights 5 pours for $10, 7 pours for $14. (Thought they could pour a little more per serving...) My favorite was Pino Gri, crisp and refreshing, and Cuvée, deep aroma and clean finish. Nice backyard like space in front of their vineyards, you can bring dogs, throw a birthday party, and can do nice picnic on weekend afternoon. It is close from the city, and perfect way to pass time with friends and family for sunny afternoon. read more

Very pleased to find this place for my girlfriend and I while on our anniversary weekend staying in Forest Grove. On the drive up to the winery in the hills was very breathtaking. Pulling up to the house was also amazing with the views of vineyards all around the main house. We made reservations prior to arrival and when we got there we were promptly seated and served our wine and charcuterie board. We were able to sit and relax and enjoy our wine and enjoy the beautiful view of the rolling hills of vineyards all around us. read more

David Hill Winery - Amazing wine tasting paired with a deluxe charcuterie board - Wineries Near Me - Forest Grove, Oregon

My first visit to David Hill Winery was easily one of my favorite tasting room experiences of the many I've had in Oregon. Good wine at affordable prices, charming tasting room, warm hopsitality, beautiful setting. Details follow. SETTING: The winery is named for it's location off David Hill road which was named for one of the area's early settlers. Setting is beautiful with vineyards surrounding and picnic tables on a lawn behind the tasting room. Easy to find with GPS. TASTING ROOM: The tasting room, which is in an 1830's old house which was salvaged and renovated to be the same, is bright and welcoming. Fully accessible. If you can't navigate the stairs in the front, there is a ramp in the back with an accessible parking spot across. One of the two loo is accessible too. TASTING SET UP: Uber friendly, charming and knowledgable hostess (Carrie) led us through the tasting. The set up for tasting here is my favorite of formats in which you can choose from a selection of wines those which are of most interest to you to try. Much prefer this over a "fixed card" sampling. In this case, the options are any of the wines made by David Hill (with perhaps the exception of a single Pinot Noir reserved for wine club members only) and for only $5 you are able to taste seven wines. Made all the better by the fact the wines are delightfully good. Even remarkable in the case of two of the seven tasted. WINES: My husband's and my favorite of the seven wines we sampled was the 2009 Blackjack Pinot Noir ($55). So named because it comes from the vineyard's Block 21. (Get it? Of course you do.) We think this is arguably the best of all 2009 Oregon Pinot Noirs we've sampled including those made in the Dundee Hills. We enjoyed all the wines sampled and the ones in the lower price points (around fifteen bucks a bottle as I recall), a blended white called Cumberland Vineyards and a blended red called Farmhouse Red are a great value for really good wines. The white contains a good share of Pinot Blanc, one of my favorite white varietals which is starting to be bottled as a single varietal in other parts of the Willamette Valley (with Four Graces perhaps producing the stand out of that varietal) and which I hope David Hill might also bottle as a single varietal eventually because in the blend it was distinct and delicious. Other standouts were the Reserve Merlot, no kidding...the varietal is making a comeback now that "Sideways Effect" has worn off and a Port of Muscat ($28). The latter was apricot - caramel, delicious and just sweet enough but not too much. (They were sold out of the Port of Pinot Noir but no worries.) We who like Port are fortunate that David Hill (and nearby friendly competitor Montinore) sends their port wines to be fortified by Clear Creek Distillery in Portland. In everything is connected to everything else mode, having that fabulous distiller in the mix is an excellent thing for Port quality. All David Hill wines including, Chardonnay, Riesling, Pinot Gris, Gerwirtztraminer, Merlot, Temperanillo, the blends and Port are proof that a vintner can make really good, drinkable wines and keep the price point within reach for everyone. They even have a Pinot Noir around $20 (others in the $35 - $55 range). THIS N THAT: 1) WINERY DOGS: Three delightful winery dogs, a Golden Retriever, an Australian Shepherd, and a Catahoula mix are on hand to greet visitors. Two of the three are featured in the Winery Dogs book available to purchase in the tasting room. This is a great tasting room experience all on its' own, but the delightful dogs make it even better! http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/david-hill-winery-forest-grove?select=R7KgJu52VLiCBSS_80dPog#R7KgJu52VLiCBSS_80dPog 2) SIP & SHOP: The tasting room has some interesting wine centric "gifties" for sale in local-ish food products (jams, nuts, cheeses and so on) and otherwise (cookbooks, bottle corks, glass drying towels, soap and so on). Highly recommend the Seattle located Boat Street Pickles pickled figs - think balsamic syrupy pickled. The tasting room hostess recommended them and they are outstanding. Gift giving occasions abound. Pick up some great gift items and a bottle of wine to go with them and you can call your shopping complete while you get to taste some great wines in the tasting room. Everybody benefits! read more

If you want to take a nice drive out in the country outside if the Forest Grove area you need to include a visit to David Hill Winery. In the summer months the gorgeous surroundings alone are reason to come here, and the wine is the icing on the cake. Some of the Gewürztraminer vines here were planted in 1965 making them some of the oldest in the state. That carries over to great wine! The tasting room, which is located in an 1883 farmhouse on the property, is open 11-5 daily. Yes, there has been wine production on this property off and on since the 1880's. The customer service in the tasting room could improve a bit. I have been here several times and the people working here could be a bit more friendly. The wines currently are Rose, Pinot's, Riesling, Chardonnay, Gewürztraminer, Tempranillo, Merlot and they even have a couple Ports. They do offer cheese, sausage and crackers for sale if you forgot yours in case you may want to grab a bottle and picnic on the beautiful grounds. Enjoy! 2015-116 read more

The drive out to Forest Grove from downtown Portland was gorgeous. The vineyard is nestled away in the country and in the middle of farmland. Such a rare sight these days but so worth the drive. The tasting room is bright, beautifully lit and filled with a lot of history. The hostess was friendly, inviting and held a conversation with ease. We left with two bottles of Riesling and wish our luggage could fit more! read more

This place was very beautiful! We came early on a Friday so there wasn't a lot of people. The wine was splendid. The charcuterie board was very delicious. The only thing is the tables were so so small. To fit everything on 1 table was impossible. But overall the experience was good, worth the drive. read more

David Hill Winery - Outside tasting area - Wineries Near Me - Forest Grove, Oregon

This vineyard was amazing ! The view is perfect. When you get there you walk straight into the house where you can do tasting of wines first. We did all sorts of samples and for the first time ever I found a white wine I liked. The bottle prices are cheap as well. We bought a bottle and took it outdoors. Great for relaxing or playing corn hole in the back. There was actually a wedding taking place on site when I was there. read more

We stopped in this winery on a recommendation from Tualatin Estate Vineyard and we were very happy we did. All the wines we tasted were outstanding. The staff was great and we loved the hike around the vineyard. We enjoyed the fresh picked blackberries along the way. The only downside was that they can't ship to NY. We had a tough decision on which wines to purchase to bring back to NY with us. read more

Absolutely beautiful property tucked away in the rolling hills of the Willamette Valley. I was greeted by a wave from a winemaker on my drive in and our group was graciously taken care of by a wonderful server. She seemed passionate about the wines, gave us a brief and knowledgable description of the vineyard, and gave me an extra sip of a Wadenswil pinot I was curious about. I'll definitely be back for a date day in the Adirondack chairs that overlook the wines and to enjoy their large list of daily glass pours. read more

WONDERFUL place to pack a picnic and enjoy the view of the hills. Plenty of picnic tables and shady trees to set up on/under. Dog-friendly. I didn't think much of the service but we also weren't really there to get to know the wines either. The overall vibe is friendly and laid-back. Will return with friends and family in the future to show off beautiful Oregon wine country. Open every day (some other tasting rooms in the area are closed Mon/Tues). read more

David Hill ~ What an amazing array of Pinot's you have! Let alone an amazing VIEW of their 45-acre valley! So picturesque! (Guys, take note of this winery for a date place *ahem*ahem*) Arriving to David Hill, it was a bit of a bumpy ride due to the gravel road leading up to the winery. Upon parking, there are about 3 medium-sized friendly dogs which roam around the winery and greet the visitors. They're cute and friendly dogs! Amidst the valley of vineyards, lies a yellow house, which is the tasting room for David Hill. What was tasted at this phenomenal winery? WHITES *Estate Gewurztraminer (2009; $16/bottle) - a simple, dry, white wine which had a hint of honeysuckle and spice. *Estate Pinot Gris (2011; $18/bottle) - probably my favorite from the set of whites that I had tried out. This Pinot Gris had an essence of grapefruit, which was quite surprisingly refreshing. *Estate Reserve Chardonnay (2009; $18/bottle) - had hints of green apple and "mineral notes" *Estate Riesling (2010; $18/bottle) - had the same components as the Estate Reserve Chardonnay. Between the both of the two, the Riesling was much sweeter. REDS *Estate Pinot Noir (2009; $16/bottle) - was quite exuberant! Full of spices and cherry essences were quite delightful! *Estate Reserve Pinot Noir (2008; $32/bottle) - was very aromatic, earthy and much more pronounced than the 2009, yet had a crisp ending. *Reserve Merlot (2008; $28/bottle) - was delivered with a piece of milk chocolate. Enjoy the piece of chocolate, then take a sip of the Merlot - lo and behold, an amazing burst of wine-gasms emit upon your taste buds. You'll love David Hill if you're into Rieslings, Pinot Gris, Gewurztraminer, Pinot Blanc, Sylvaners and Semillions. Most of their wines are award winning! I wouldn't mind coming back to visit David Hill to enjoy a glass or two (or three, or four..... or a bottle) and picnic on their scenic vineyard and winery. Drink up! read more

My boyfriend and I stopped in before heading to a wedding, hoping to get a glass of wine or do a tasting. We didn't make a reservation, but the hostess was super helpful and accommodating and found a spot for us. We ended up buying a bottle of Pinot Noir because it was so good. The location and views are spectacular as well. A really great place to enjoy a glass of wine, but I would recommend making a reservation if you want to do a tasting. read more

It wasn't very busy the afternoon we were there. I thought for sure we'd have good service, maybe some chat about the wines and the vineyard. Nope. We were asked which tasting we wanted and then they poured without any comment at all. It was weird. I've been to many wineries over the years and they are usually eager to tell you about what you are tasting. Not here. The whites were all mediocre. Had high hopes for the pinot noir but it was weak and acidic on the finish. The tempranillo was lovely. Paid up, got out. The point of sale screen suggested a tip. For what?? It is a pretty place, but if you'd like a fuller experience I suggest elsewhere. read more

We have a wine subscription at David Hill and it's worth every penny. Stunning scenery in every season. Friendly staff and awesome cats. Before Covid, you can bring your own food and have a picnic. Love to come here. Here is how it looks in Autumn https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kopCRUW8h9o read more

I felt like a bystander in some weird discriminatory Trump country scenario. We showed up SUPER late, so I totally understand that was super inconvenient for the restaurant. (We were very willing to wait our turn for a table and potentially come back at a later time since I'm sure our reservation had expired.) I also know restaurants are being really diligent about Covid rules. (They want groups to remain six people or under. We had seven. Fair enough, totally understand, let's make two reservations- one for four, one for three) With those things at the top of my mind, I still can't wrap my head around what just happened. I hate to even have to describe our appearance because it feels so unnecessary but all seven of us were sober, wearing nice clothes, wearing masks, closed-toed shoes... and four of us are gay. When we walked up to the counter we were apologetic about our obscene lateness, but met with some weird shortness from the hostess who explained "there's no room for you in here." I did happen to catch a glimpse of the outdoor seating and noticed only two of their eight tables were seated. No worries, maybe they're booked? My friend continued and said we would love to come in and try the wine at some point. And again we were met with some insistence saying "we're completely booked." After my friend pressed the matter a little more it was revealed that they don't want to let us in because we are a party of seven. But we explained that we didn't plan on sitting together. For some reason our plan wasn't good enough. They changed their story and explained that "if you've been wine tasting at other locations we don't want you to come in and be loud." My friend assured them we haven't been wine tasting and we won't be loud. Alas, we were never allowed in. Why? We still don't know, we got at least three reasons. We're currently wine tasting at Apolloni Vine area which is gorgeous no one turned us away for any obscure reasons. Go there instead!! read more

If you like wine and being discriminated against; this is the winery for you. Hate to describe the group we were with - well dressed and well behaved group. Not that it should matter, but 4 people were gay. To start, we were late, 30 minutes late. But our reservation was for an hour and a half and even though they weren't full they refused to seat us. Accused us of being drunk despite coming straight from home. Accused us of being in too big of a group, despite having two separate reservations to minimize proximity. We all had masks and despite all of the available tables, we were turned away. It felt humiliating. read more

Drink elsewhere - they are discriminatory and rude. Arrived within our reservation time slot (albeit 30 minutes late) and were rudely turned away and told they had "no room for the rest of the day" -- after politely asking why our reserved tables were not available for the remaining hour of our reserved time slot the manager admitted they did have room but she thought we may be "too loud" -- we are a sober, polite group of women and gay men in our late 30s. Keep in mind there were countless empty tables and the same staff was politely seat other people. So many amazing wineries in Oregon - skip this spot and go to the Apolloni down the road instead! read more

If I could leave a Zero Star, I would. Don't go there, they definitely seem to be discriminatory (since we were younger they assumed we would be loud and obnoxious). We went here and it was literally the worst customer service I have ever experienced at any establishment. We were a bit late to our reservation and were told they could not sit us because they had no room. First, are the reservations pointless? Second, after some push back on why we could not be seated for the remainder of our reservation (when there was obviously still room), we were told that we had obviously been to other vineyards and would be loud if they did seat us. read more

Great location. Nice staff. Great wines. What else can I say?! The setting is so lovely and perfect for a picnic lunch. OR....... buy their cheese to go with a bottle of wine and some crackers while you sit at a picnic table amongst the vineyards. read more

The gorgeous grounds are enough reason to come wine tasting here! One of the prettiest vineyards I have seen. The drive up is gorgeous and there are plenty of ground to cover wandering around with a glass of Pinot. Bring a picnic or pick up some of their cheese, sausage and crackers and open a bottle. Beautiful grounds! The tasting was 7 wines for 10 dollars and waived if you spend 40 dollars or more on wine. You choose the 7 you want from whites, reds and dessert wines. A couple of their higher priced (55 dollars a bottle) wines were pretty good. The lady who served us was very friendly and talkative! Service was great! 4.5 stars read more

The lady checking our party in was super rude. We had 8 in our group and she made sure to tell us that "they texted to make sure we knew we weren't going to be seated together". She was very unprofessional and when she seated us and said, "well I see so-and-so isn't happy from your group so you can just leave if you want". This place was icky and made you feel like they are better than you. We didn't have any of their wine and walked out after that kind of behavior and I'm glad we did because I'm sure their wine was shitty anyway. I would give this place 0 stars if I could. read more

I really enjoy David Hill Winery. The tasting room is beautiful as well as the grounds, the staff is always friendly and helpful. The wine however is not top tier in my opinion, but they are at a good price point, which makes it absolutely a must visit for those newer to wine or looking for a place to have a leisurely picnic lunch. I like their everyday drinking white and red. read more

David Hill Winery - Loves of picnic tables (and bees) - Wineries Near Me - Forest Grove, Oregon

This has become one of my absolute favorites when I'm in the mood for a tasting and a picnic! They have a nice standard lineup as far as their wines go, but I am rarely, if ever, disappointed. They have a healthy balance of whites to reds that they produce along with a couple ports/dessert wines usually. The staff is friendly, but aren't always able to answer my questions about the wines. Just want to mention that they have two clean, beautiful public restrooms on site. $5 tasting fee per person but they do subtract it from the price of a bottle if you end up buying one...which you probably will...or even two... I believe the bottle prices run from about $18 to $60. And if you REALLY fall in love they have a wine club membership they will be happy to give you the scoop on. I love this place because it gives a nice, well-rounded tasting experience without pretension. Picnic here! You won't regret it. I like to bring my own food, but they are pretty good at keeping picnic items on hand to purchase: glasses, cheese, crackers, etc. The views are breathtaking, especially in the late Spring through Summer. I'm planning on picking a colorful Fall day to visit and test out the views then! I can't wait. read more

This Winery had the worst customer service I've ever experienced. I'm in customer service and a General Manager of a hotel, if any of my staff ever treated a customer the way we were treated then they would no longer have a job at our establishment. This establishment was very discriminatory and I would never return or give them a penny of my money. Please think twice before picking this place. This business definitely needs to retrain their staff and improve their customer service. read more

Worth the drive. The Estate Winemaker Cuvée Pinot Noir is a full bodied wine. With a smooth finish. The Estate Black Jack Pinot 2010 very fruit forward. Can be laid down. 26 months in French Oak. Very nice. One of the finest wines I have had this trip. $55. read more

We ordered a charcuterie board with our wine and it was delicious! We are hoping to come back some day and tour the vineyard a little more! read more

Had a wonderful time yesterday at David Hill at the picnic table area ( with a reservation). The sun was out, it was cool and they had warned us to bring a blanket, which we did. They are very good in following Covid 19 restrictions here and we felt very comfortable. The wine was very good and I purchased the Pinot gris, Pinot noir and the Pinot Blanc, and Tempranillo based on the recommendation we received from Kim, who was amazing! They are very welcoming here and I would encourage you to come! read more
