During our 3rd annual WA/OR wine road trip, among Pinot Noir wines we found Bells Up 2017…read moreVillanelle Reserve to be our unanimous favorite, and agreed that this small winery's Pinot Noir lineup ranked among the best. We three had a 2 hour wine tasting with David on a sunny day in August. This was our first visit. WINES: 5.0. We enjoyed the wines, especially the 2017 Villanelle Reserve Pinot Noir and the 2021 Jupiter Pinot Noir. We purchased 4 bottles of wine to take home; we look forward to tasting them outside the warm, seductive ambiance of our winery visit. SERVICE: 5.0. David, the owner, patiently answered our questions as he guided our 2 hour experience on an outside veranda overlooking a vineyard. We learned new things about wines (both in general and the Bells Up selection in particular), the naming of the Bells Up Winery and of its wines as related to music, and more. AMBIANCE: 4.5. Attractive setting. Our private tasting on the outside veranda was enchanting. Though the sound of a leaf blower at a neighboring property was a minor distraction during the first few minutes, the music of the wines effortlessly drowned it out; the leaf blowing ended soon after our arrival in any case.

We had a wonderful afternoon enjoying great wine and the beautiful surroundings. There's plenty of parking, making it easy to visit. We would definitely love to come back, especially on a weekend!

About a year ago, he took care of us at Stoller as they are partners. Finnley is quite knowledgeable but equally engaging. Thank You again Finnley. We tasted a fun Brut, Chardonnay, Gamay, Rose and of course a tremendous Pinot Noir. The food is also incredible as we enjoyed the Arancini, Focaccia Bread, and Tuna and Crab Salads. We love the food, and the service remains top notch.

They offer a few mocktails, but they appeared to be geared toward the sugary side so I didn't partake. The food was really tasty.

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.

Its new location is off of Bell Road in Sherwood and it's worth the drive to catch amazing views of Mt. Hood. Now the facts. The staff at this winery is the best in field. Once you enter the absolutely stunning room, you are greeted by the engaging servers. I have never felt like being a part of the Cool Kids club, and that's the feeling I get. Everyone knows you by name and I even received a personalized note from my server when I broke down and joined the club. The food prepared by Chef Brent is so yummy. Don't pass up the chocolate cookies, a fantastic pairing with the Ridgecrest Pinot. Great wine, food, fun people and right off of 99. I would say, make this your next stop when wine tasting, but you might never leave.

This was one of the reasons we chose to go to Oregon and we were happy we did both. Oregon was so…read morebeautiful and Chehalem was an awesome stop for us. We scheduled a tasting for 10a as their main event person happened to be getting married and we were glad they were able to accommodate us. Wine for Breakfast? Heck, it WAS 1p EDT so it worked out. Their tasting room wasn't necessarily elegant, but the glasses were all set up for us and we began promptly. It was a rainy morning and we did get to walk through one of the vineyards, eat some grapes from the vine, and hear about Chehalem. We also toured the winery with the tanks and workers being friendly and doing their thing as it was time to make the wine. The tasting was done very well and what was very interesting was we tried the same Chardonnay from a narrow glass and a wide glass and they tasted completely different. Who would have thunk it? The science of wine! We joined the club (they waive the tasting fees if you join) and our box just arrived (they ship to FL later so the heat doesn't ruin the wine), which made me write the review. I wish I knew about that before the great quarantine of 2020. Anyway, what an excellent experience from our host at Chehalem. They also have a tasting room in Downtown Newberg by the food trucks where the road splits. If we ever go back (we want to), we may stop to see what's new.

Gnocchi was killer and the pizza was pretty good. The service was absolutely meh. We watched a table seated after us get drinks and salads before we even gave our drink order, and they got their meals before we ordered.

If I had it to do over again, I'd request the restaurant area up front. Overall, we'd go back to give it another go. But there was room for improvement for sure.
