    Ok....home base for wine. I'm a tad partial since we're shareholders and we get 50% off, but it's still awesome wine. I'm not sure if this is still the case but tasting is free. The only downside is that it's Southwest of Salem, so there's a bit of a drive. Summer, one of the gals that works there, is really friendly and very easy to deal with. I'm sad that they don't have the Sunday brunch that they used to, oh well.

    I have been visiting Eola Hills Wine Cellars for years. Really nice people there. As per standard the tasting fees are waived with a purchase. The recent new paint and update to the front is great. Wonderful prices for the quality of wines. The reserves are my personal favorites. On sunny days, the Legacy Estates is beautiful to sit back and enjoy the view. Definitely will be back soon.

    Beautiful legacy location

    Great location and very friendly staff. Took my daughter with us and she had a soda and played with our puppy on the grass. Very friendly and great selection of wines... The legacy location is breathtaking and just as friendly and knowledgeable.

    We almost didn't stop based on the outside looking almost like a pole barn. However, once inside we felt like we found a little, hidden gem. Definitely enjoyed our visit here and would recommend to others.

    Quaint excursion with plenty of outdoor space and nice views. Tasty wine and nice staff make this a great stop when passing through or on the tasting trail for a day. Even some snacks if you're hungry.

    I apologize for the delay, this review has been a long time in coming, its just sometimes hard to put into words. When I first started hearing about The Great American Eclipse, I just knew I had to see it. This was my chance to see my first Solar Eclipse, and the path of the totality was over the United States! But where should I go? Well, I love wine, maybe I'm a hopeless romantic... but sitting in a vineyard, drinking a glass of wine, and watching the totality... thats what I wanted. A couple Google searches later, and BAM! I found a special event being put on by Eola Hills. I spoke with Stephanie over the phone, and was able to secure one of the last VIP hotel accommodations at the beautiful Grand Hotel in Salem. Everyone was very friendly at the winery, I got to have dinner with the winemaker in the vineyards, the food was included in my VIP package, and the staff went out of there way to make sure I was taken care of. Katie the wine club manager (Katie, you rock!), was so nice and allowed Shane to take us to a wine testing at the Rickreall wine room. Shane was very accommodating and even took us to OTHER wineries in the area to taste some of their wines. I think I took about 3 cases of wine home that weekend, in addition to a new Wine Club membership. Every night there was something to do! Some of my favorites: 1. Stargazing 2. That Smores Truck (OMG! AMAZING) 3. The Winemaker's Dinner in the Vineyard. 4. The Eclipse talks during the day, where they explained some of the science behind it. Overall, it was a great experience thanks to everyone involved who made the Eclipse weekend spectacular. I look forward to visiting again.

    We are huge fans of Eola Hills. Their tasting room is free and the service is excellent. Their wines are also very well priced with some amazing case discounts etc. I have been here a great many times though and am always astounded at how great their service is. If you are into super sweet wine I highly recommend the Pacific Blanc which you can find on the shelves at Trader Joes or you can get a case of it at Eola for around $70 usually. It is well worth it. We go for the brunch though - you seriously cannot get a better deal. Start out your trip to wine country with all your can eat breakfast foods that are excellent. Their brunch is now year round too which just started this fall due to its popularity and is $19.95 per person which includes a glass of wine (which is a VERY generous glass). I cannot stress enough how wonderful their pan fried oysters are or that you really need to make reservations! They also have a great deal I might try for my birthday this year which is if you bring ten people with you for your birthday and have brunch then you eat free and get a complimentary bottle of sparkling wine for your table. Sounds lovely....

    Such a lovely winery inside & outside. The inside is quite expansive. I have to say the women who helped me was super nice & very knowledgable. I forgot her name which is terrible but she was a gem. The outside patio is where I chose to taste. I felt like I was in my own backyard so it was very relaxing. The wines that I tasted were excellent. I would have done more tasting but I had to pace myself. They have multiple options for tastings which was great.I had chosen the 3 tasting option The wine quality of the wines and service was wonderful. I purchased a bottle before I left.

    The price has jumped up 41% this year and the quality continues to decline. I used to eat at this brunch many times a year and have noticed a huge decline in selection of brunch foods as well as the quality of the food. The chocolate covered strawberries disappeared long ago, the salad selection is now limited to one Caesar salad, the champagne disappeared as well. The apple juice is gone. Inflation is not 41%! You used to receive two glasses of wine with each brunch and now, you only receive one glass and a very limited low quality brunch for $35 a person. What happened Eola Hills? I cannot recommend this brunch anymore; how sad.

    Love it!

    I am not a huge wine drinker. My review is solely based on customer service. We walked in at around 4:40. We had no clue they closed at 5. It wasn't mentioned at all to us. We hate to be "those people.." however after no one else walking after us I started to wonder when they closed. So I asked. She said 5. Also she said she didn't mind at all because she enjoys her job and has no plans. Super nice. Her name was Rachel. Shout out to her making us feel welcome even though we kept her later than we should have. She was super flexible with what we tasted and let us switch out a few. Thank for the great service, Rachel! It was so polite to to rush us out. We will definitely be back!

Something about a connection to a 12th cousin, twice removed, who once washed the car windows of the creator of Pliny....or something.

Decided it was a beer day and vowed to buy some wine to take home for later. Simply stated, these guys rock. Have stopped in here a few times after adventures at the Pelican. Very cool, very down to earth. We showed up in our bike clothes( this is one relaxed tasting room) and were welcomed by Shawn, one of the owners. He had some cool music groovin', some old vinyls alongside the bar, and with my Pliny in hand, I wanted to spend the rest of the day here chatting up the locals. If I lived in town, you'd probably find me here more often than the Pelican. You can always find fresh Russian River beers on tap and for sale in bottles here. Ask me how I know? Why don't you ask them? :) The wine is really well priced, lots of Cabs and Syrahs, (try the Reversal Syrah!) and as they said on their menu, good for Wednesday, Thursday, Friday night drinking.... We noticed Chenin, Shawn's wife wasn't around that day and found she was at the PSU Farmer's market where they attend all summer. Shawn also told me you can find them Thursday evenings at another Farmer's market in the Pearl in Portland. Sweet. As much as I love coming to Pacific City, it's also nice to know we can find their wine in Portland in the summertime since they don't sell it retail in stores. An hour later, (maybe two?) we left smiling with two bottles of wine, the Basket Case Syrah and a red table wine in hand, and two empty pint glasses of Pliny on the bar.

    First and sadly, last place we would go…read more We recently visited Heater Allen in McMinnville for their Oktoberfest with six family members, excited to support a local spot that calls itself "kid friendly." Unfortunately, the way we were treated made us feel anything but welcome. Our 3-year-old was playing with the toy bin they provide for kids inside, while we were mainly gathered outside. Like any toddler, he made a mess, but I was mindful of it and cleaned up after him when asked. About 15-20 minutes later, I noticed the entire toy bin had been removed. When I asked the staff member (manager?) why, her response was curt and dismissive--essentially saying she was tired of cleaning up after kids. She even said she "had kids too," but the tone felt more like scolding than understanding. I explained that we come to places like this because they advertise themselves as family-friendly. Instead of hospitality, we were made to feel like a burden, as though children weren't actually welcome. The worst part was overhearing her continue to talk about us to others while we were still there. That crossed the line from unprofessional to just plain rude. We ended up leaving and taking our business elsewhere. For parents constantly searching for places to enjoy a beer while their kids have space to play, I can confidently say Heater Allen is not it. If you don't want children there, don't advertise as kid-friendly--it's misleading and creates an experience that feels hostile for families.

This isn't one of the fancier brewpubs in Portland (looking at you 10 Barrel and Deschutes) but that's never been the Crux brand so I'm happy to see them stick to their down to the earth origins and focus on making really good beer. The bar is nice and long and a good place to post up for a couple of pints, with plenty of cheery tenders to pour them for you. The space is overall industrial-feeling with tall ceilings and minimalist decor and mostly bare walls inside, but there's also an outside patio area with picnic tables in the parking lot, though that's best in the summer. We got the General Tso Cauliflower to start which was a great share plate, with awesome flavor in the sauce, though the actual cauliflower was a bit undercooked. Still, we polished it off no problem. Fish tacos were also a good call, and the thin, crispy fries were a crowd favorite. There are so many good sours, IPAs and other craft beer options here, my buddy just opted for the 4-brew flight (mostly IPAs) which we all sampled and loved, though it's kinda pricy for what's basically 20 ounces of beer. The one-off vintage 14% special beers are where it's at, but at that ABV level, we just decided to share one barrel aged Imperial Stout. So friggin caramelly and delish - the perfect dessert. The space was pretty quiet for a Saturday night but our service was absolutely next level, so it made for a super pleasant gathering for our small group. The food at this Crux location is probably best described as better-than-average pub fare, but not mouth-watering, and the ambiance is low key but also nothing super special. The beer and the staff though, are awesome, so I will be back for more.
