Unfortunately, this was not the experience we were hoping for. The best part of our visit was…read moreeasily the views, which are beautiful, but nearly every other aspect of the experience was disappointing. First, our group of three was informed that a mandatory 20% large group service charge would be added, which felt surprising considering the level of service we ultimately received. After waiting over an hour for our food, we had to go find someone ourselves to ask about it because no staff members were walking around checking on tables or updating guests. It turned out our order seemed to have been missed entirely, and we were then told it would take another 15 minutes. We also noticed multiple groups around us waiting around the same amount of time for food, so this clearly was not an isolated issue. While we understand it was Memorial Day weekend and likely busy, we would hope the winery would anticipate and staff appropriately for holiday traffic. When the food finally arrived, the pizza was undercooked and lacked flavor, and the chicken Caesar salad tasted very basic and prepackaged. For the prices, the food quality and service fell well below expectations. The setting and atmosphere itself are beautiful, but the service and food quality need significant improvement before we would consider returning or recommending this winery to others. We felt it was important to share our experience in hopes that this feedback leads to meaningful improvements for future guests.

I wanted to finally go wine tasting somewhere in Oregon. We were told to try out this winery so we…read morefinally just went for it. It was a far distance to travel from where we live but very much worth it. What a cute winery with beautiful views of the mountains. It's a very relaxing environment. They had a couple of cute, tiny, winery kittens that they had just gotten. They were adorable to watch roaming around the premises. Their wines are good, so again, worth driving the distance and we will drive the distance again. They offer food as well. We ordered pizza and a charcuterie board with chocolates and cheeses. The service was very good. The ladies were very nice and helpful. If you are in Oregon and would like to go wine tasting, this is definitely a winery to check out.

We got there right as they opened on Saturday and were greeted by Hannah who was absolutely amazing. I had a white flight and my husband had the red. We had our two littles with us and ordered them a cheese plate and Capri suns. Our kids thought this was the coolest. We also had a dog with us so we sat outside - Hannah was so on top of our drinks and describing all of the new wines. I also ordered a frose because why not? It was amazing. We ended up walking away with three bottles as well. Love Evoke and hope to make it back here more often - but until we do we will enjoy the wines being delivered!

She shared the history of the Riedel glassware company and explained how the shape of each of the four glasses changes the aroma and flavor of the same wine. It was fascinating to experience the difference firsthand. Ashley was knowledgeable, friendly, and incredibly patient with our group, even when we got a little chatty and wandered off topic. She made the experience enjoyable from start to finish. The charcuterie board was more than enough for the two of us, and every wine we sampled, from the bubbles to the Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and final bottle of Cabernet, was an excellent selection. This was something completely different from a typical wine tasting, and we really enjoyed it. I already have several friends in mind who I think would love this experience. I hope Willamette Valley Vineyards considers making the Riedel Glassware Experience a regular offering!

Our family signed up for the Lavendar wreath making event. The event page says 10:00-11:30am. We…read morebrought our kids very excited to make a wreath with them at the end of summer. We showed up at 10:30 thinking that it was any time we could arrive to make a wreath the event page did not specify a 10:00 strict start time. As we arrived I felt like I just showed up to a mean girls table in high school. The instructor said the event started at 10 and when I shared that the event page was a big confusing as we thought it was an open arrival time. A woman at the table mumbled "well it wasn't confusing to me" and the instructor said nothing. Not welcoming acted like we were not welcome. We said we would like to have a refund and didn't appreciate the unwelcoming rudeness when we just drove 20 minutes to bring our kids to this event. Whoever is in charge at this farm should probably never have this woman work an event again. I've never met an ADULT woman act that way toward a customer? Completely disappointing and won't be returning or supporting again.
