Ardiri Winery is a gorgeous location in the hills of wine country. The wines just aren't great…read more I like the presentation of the wines as you pick your flight and then small carafes are brought out for your tasting. But the server never went thru the wines and explain the origin or the history of the wines. This was a negative as the winery we previously visited had an informative narrative as part of the presentation. There are so many wineries in the Willamette region, and we will continue to taste at many others. But I will not recommend Ardiri as one for new visitors to visit.

We didn't have a reservations, but were still able to get a nice fire pit table outside under the trellis. Once taken to our table, we were brought out a pour of their bubbles, such a delightful way to be welcomed while we decided what we wanted to order. Two of us opted to taste and the other two for a glass of wine. Glass sizes were generous pours. For tasting we went with both the classic - red, and bianca - white flights to share. Since we were sharing, our tasting associate was nice enough to give us a splash more of each so we could really try the wines. It was interesting that even though we were surrounded by a vineyard, most of the wine on the tasting menu didn't seem to be local. While the wine was all made by the winery, there were wines made with grapes from both Napa valley and Washington. They even had a blend that was made with both Napa and Oregon grapes. While these weren't necessarily my favorite wines I've had, I still really enjoyed my experience here, and did end up going home with a bottle of pinot. I'd probably skip the tasting next time and go for a bottle or glass, after trying and determining one that I liked.

Their common areas include a dining room, a living room, a small library (with books and games) and TV room, as well as front and back porches. We originally booked the Oregon Trail room, but Kristin offered to upgrade us to the Oregon Coast room at a discounted rate. We chose the Oregon Coast room for the private balcony and stunning views over the valley. The room was lovely and comfortable. Toiletries, robes, and slippers are all provided for the guests. Our room also had an electric fireplace, which was nice. There was no TV, but that wasn't an issue for us. This is their handicapped accessible room, so there were extra shower and toilet seat handle bars. We stayed two nights and enjoyed two amazing breakfasts prepared by Ayelet. Over the two days, we were treated to blueberry French Toast, a poached pear, homemade bread, scrambled eggs, diced potatoes, blueberry scones, and a baked apple. Plus a selection of their homemade jelly/jam. A lot of the ingredients were sourced right from the property. While we ate, Ayelet asked us about our plans for the day, and she offered super helpful suggestions on what to do, where to go, what to eat. She even gave us printed maps! Some other noteworthy items: you get one free T-shirt with your stay; you have a choice of breakfast at 8 or 9 am; there are coolers, sunscreen, and sunglasses you can borrow; they ask your breakfast beverage of choice and usually have it out in the dining room an hour before your breakfast time; there are always homemade cookies, water, and glasses by the mini fridge; you can buy their homemade jam/jelly as well as T-shirts, mugs, coasters, etc. We loved our stay here. The view was gorgeous, the food was delicious, our room was comfortable, and Ayelet was amazing!

Even the jams at breakfast are for sale, and reasonably priced for the unique combinations. An outstanding base for a few days in Oregon's beautiful wine country.

Flash forward a year or so ago, when they were having an event in late winter with complimentary tastings. Since then, I am there every few weeks.

There is a food cart on site and the menu has been updated by a new chef, you won't be disappointed. I'm not a big games person, but you will see me and my ladies down for Bingo the first Thursday of the month! Have I mentioned the music? The best musicians in Oregon Wine Country are there every Friday and Saturday evenings and with that comes many of their groupies. Other events include, trivia night and Song writers Show case as well as line dancing.

A friend of mine had a "Club Share" for Trisaetum and we decided wine tasting was a fantastic way…read moreto avoid Black Friday traffic. The tasting room is filled with art created by the owner, James Frey and is featured not only on the walls but used for many of the bottle labels. Our server, Nick, was well educated on what he was pouring and made the whole tasting experience a great way to spend a dreary Friday afternoon. It was tough to limit my self to 2 bottles to take home and went with the nontraditional Oregon pinot selections even though those were good. I love me a good Pinot Blanc and anything, Walla, Walla. The 2 bottles, one, from their 1841 label, were added to my wine fridge. This stop is definitely worth it on a Ribbon Ridge Wine tour. I am anxious to go back for a Gin tasting from their newest venture, a distillery, called Brixeur Spirits. It sits on the property to left of the original tasting room where one can taste various Gins and maybe, a new specialty cocktail?

Oh man! I was so in this place for the first half of our experience! Let me preface it by saying…read morethat we went on a Sunday at noon when it was 85° outside and this place has no AC. Uggh. It was positively sweltering but I was not going to let that deter my review nor my lunch. We ordered promptly - at the time there was only one other party in the restaurant and they already had our food. Appetizer and drinks arrived within minutes of ordering and food arrived shortly after that. I ordered the nachos with chicken, which had queso and were a very large portion considering they were listed as a starter. All of our food arrived as ordered and looked delicious. However, by the time we were finished eating, the restaurant had started filling up. There were only two servers and unfortunately, our server had many tables she had to keep up with. It took her 25+ min to come check on us after we had finished our meal so that we could pay the check. It was so hot that it just made the experience miserable. I would definitely give this place another chance, maybe on a cooler day. And definitely when it is less busy.

She sent us a ceremony we could edit, incorporating our own written vows and the ring-exchange sections; we could see the flow of the ceremony beforehand and knew it would be natural and lovely. It was. Harold McKay grew up on the beautiful wine-country land where the inn is located, and he and Leah create a graceful, easy, peaceful atmosphere both on the site where outdoor ceremonies take place and in the room we had for the night. In the morning on the day after our ceremony, Harold made us an absolutely fantastic breakfast--fluffy scrambled eggs, beer pancakes, bacon, orange juice, coffee. (He and Leah, John, and I had such a great breakfast, laughing and telling stories, that John and I didn't want to leave.) We sincerely recommend Owls Nest Inn as the place for your wedding

We came here for my birthday with our family and friends, sitting outside and buying food and both tiers of wine tastings. The food was good, wine was average. The outdoors was busy, with long lines for getting our next pours, thinking we would do the normal thing and get our fill ups indoors we tried that to be met with "out, no" something I would expect when talking to a dog, not a paying customer at a nice winery. When paying over $100 for our three person group I would expect better. Unimpressed. Nice play area for kids though.

Fast forward to today, we own a car and decided it was time to find a more local option. After visiting Hawks View this past weekend I can say we've accomplished that and then some. This place sits firmly in the sweet spot of not being too "dinky" or small and not being too stuffy or corporate. I know we all have our preferences, I just like for my environment to be laid back or relaxed. The wines are fantastic here. Keep in mind, I'm no connoisseur of fine wine but I do know good from bad. Beyond the wine, we love this place due to the view (of course) but also the fact you can parlay your wine allocation pick up with a rotating menu of food. Makes for a great little weekend getaway or drive in the car.

Beware the yellow jackets if you order food and are seated outside! Hopefully, they will find the nests and reduce the problem We went in early evening and were hungry so we ordered a couple of the flatbreads, hummus platter and a gazpacho. We had the white and OG flatbreads and both were delicious. Bigger than expected so we wound up taking one home. The hummus plate was also delicious and the gazpacho was the best I have ever tasted! Now on to the wine flights. We both had flights which they let us customize. We both loved all the wines we tried and we both bought a few bottles to take home. It is unusual for me to like all the wines anywhere so it was a nice surprise. We finished our meal and moved outside with a glass of the Reserve Chardonnay to relax on the lawn. The service was a tad slow - perhaps because they had a trainee that day? Hopefully, when I go again, and I will, the service will be a bit faster.

I contacted Kellie to rent a space for a small wedding ceremony and got quick responses. She's amazing. She helped us find the perfect room to rent and made sure it was filled with all the correct amount of tables and chairs. We rented room 201 for about five hours for the ceremony and a small reception. It was a perfect size, filled with huge windows for amazing natural light. The sweet lady from the front desk (gosh I wish I remembered her name-I'm sorry!) came to check on us to make sure everything was going okay. All I have to say is I absolutely love this space and all it offers. Chehalem and it's staff went above and beyond, providing us with exceptional service and a great room to celebrate our special day. I'll definitely be back for future events!
