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.

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. It's not a big place and without even light music you feel very loud when you're the only customers in here. It's a cute place and if it were busier I probably would have felt more comfortable.

I would try the Tystrya Chardonnay, the Tystrya 2022 Pinot and the Out of Necessity Chardonnay. On my next visit I am going to try the Barrel Tasting Experience. I am also looking forward to their next event!

The outside area is super sleepy and comfortable, with bocce ball and outdoor seating surrounded by huge shady trees. They have a vending machine for charcuterie inside which we thought was a smart concept. The indoor tasting room is a little less impressive than some others in the area but it's comfortable! The staff is very friendly and remembered our names. BUT The wine is amazing and was ultimately what made us become members. Excited to see how the year unfolds here!

We stopped in for a tasting on a weekday late morning / early afternoon, and it was not crowded at all. We had a lovely tablet right by the window, allowing us to overlook their beautiful property. It was a little chilly during our visit, but during the summer months, I'm sure it would be beautiful to sit outside for the tasting. We did spend a bit of time walking around the property, which I'm glad we could do - it was truly lovely and with great views. The wine tasting itself was excellent - we tried just the right amount of wine, and I appreciated all the backstories and info our server gave us with each one. I particularly loved the Fairsing Vineyard Pinot Noir (this is the Willamette Valley, after all!), but all our pours were delightful. The quality was high, the wines were complex yet simple enough to understand, the service was wonderful, and the views (even on a cloudy, chilly day) were impeccable. We wound up taking a few bottles back with us, which was a great move to continue the experience even after we left the premises. I would recommend Fairsing to anyone looking for a true Willamette Valley winery experience!

I have been in the wine club for about 6 months. I'm very particular on where my wine dollars go…read more I discovered their wine where it was the Chehalem tasting room in downtown Newberg. 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.

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.
