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. I joined the Chehalem Winery club and lucky for me, this is part of my membership!!! Sam, is the Tasting Room Manager and is kind to everyone who enters into the former car garage. 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.

The gentleman pouring was absolutely lovely and very attentive even though the place was packed when we arrived. The wine was good.

The members help to keep the prices lower than some of the surrounding tasting rooms. A knowledgeable staff very well versed in the art of conversation not too over the top on the wine lingo. Enough to wet your whistle and give you a good story about your bottle as you open it at your event. Surely you will be the star of the show when you offer this wine to your friends. Of course its about taste and each individual can and will find something they like maybe even a couple favorites. They make a wide variety and even try some special bottles. It's always exciting to see what's next. I recommend them as a starter stop or an end stop on your wine country journey.

We really did only stop for a glass of wine, so I can just say that it was enjoyable. It was just too quiet here to feel really comfortable even having a conversation.

Absolutely beautiful with amazing service and tasty wine!…read more Yadira (I think I spelled it correctly) was warm and welcoming, she was really knowledgeable about the wines and was a delight the entire time she waited on us. My faves from the day: 2019 Alloro Pinot Noir- lots of floral notes, with a hint of vanilla! Sits nicely on the tongue and smells delightful. I regret not getting a bottle to go but I will be back to pick one up. 10/10 highly recommend!!!

Having visited their…read moresister winery prior to this visit, we were lucky to have a complimentary tasting for our reserved tasting. Upon entering Rex Hill, Garin greeted us and showed us to a beautiful spot inside facing the vineyards. The winery was a buzz with excitement as a large party was there, and another came in while we were there. Despite the large parties, we still had amazing service and a wonderful tasting! We loved the Rex Hill rose, and would have brought more bottles home with us, but needed to have room for our travels. During our visit, we decided to purchase the coolest wine animal pourer. This is definitely a unique place to visit with amazing wines to taste!

We had a good wine tasting at Rain Dance Vineyards in Newburg, Oregon. Rain Dance was one of a few…read morewineries that we selected for our Willamette Valley wine tour (Oregon Wine Country). The staff was polite, welcoming, and friendly and the atmosphere was relaxing. The experience was like going into a nice home, next to a vineyard, for wine and cheese. Lovely atmosphere. Our group of eight had a Saturday afternoon reservation. We arrived and were seated before 12:30pm and left by around 1:45pm. This did not appear to be a big operation. During our visit, I saw only two lady employees tending to all the customers. Rain Dance has indoor and outdoor seating. We were seated inside. Regardless of where you sit, there are good views of the property's vineyard and garden. It's beautiful and serene. Shortly after our tasting began, a bachelorette party left. Therefore, we had the inside all to ourselves save for a couple seated by the window. The weather was pleasant so several doors to the house were left open, creating a calm, gentle breeze. We had the wines listed below. Individual bottle prices are from the time of our tasting and descriptions are from Rain Dance's website at the time of writing this review ( https://raindancevineyards.com/shop/ ). * 2022 Grand Oak Vineyard Riesling. $32 for 750-mL bottle. "Classic aromas and flavors of stone fruit and tropical flowers are lifted by vibrant acidity on the palate. This drier-style Riesling allows for so much versatility at the dinner table, but fish dishes are our favorites." * 2023 Grand Oak Gewurztraminer. $32 for 750-mL bottle. "A Rain Dance favorite! Gewurztraminer is a rare find in Oregon, especially in such a dry style. Its lively notes of jasmine, peach and spice box are perfect for Asian and Indian dishes loaded with their own exotic spices." * 2022 Estate Pinot Noir Cuvee. $45 for 750-mL bottle. "Fresh notes of cherries, pomegranate, plums, black pepper, pipe tobacco, and cinnamon." * 2021 Grand Oak Vineyard Pinot Noir. $60 for 750-mL bottle. "Bright and fresh with a complex assortment of dark cherries, raspberries, cranberries, intermingled with thyme, sage, and cinnamon." Since the time of our visit, I think the 2022 Grand Oak Vineyard Riesling and the 2021 Grand Oak Vineyard Pinot Noir have been replaced by 2023 and 2022 vintages, respectively. We also had at least two charcuterie boards ($35 each) that included crackers, roasted hazelnuts, onion jam, pork rillettes, raisins, and three kinds of cheese. The total cost for our group for everything was $336, which worked out to $42 per person. While I've been to a lot of wineries/vineyards and done a lot of wine tastings (just search my reviews), I'm still by no means a wine connoisseur. All I can say about Rain Dance is I thought all of the wines were enjoyable. All four, from the riesling to the pinot noirs, were delectable. They smelled and tasted well made and high quality. In short, I enjoyed our visit to Rain Dance and thought it was worth the visit. Rain Dance Vineyards is named after owners and founders Celia and Ken Austin's Rain Dance Ranch. The ranch was established in 1991 and the vineyard was established in 2009.
