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.

We've been to several tulip farms in the PNW, but this was our first time at Wooden Shoe. While it…read moreisn't as expansive as places like Roozengarde, it's still very impressive: vast flower fields boasting a prismatic array of colors stretching across several acres, and spread out enough to accomodate the largest of crowds. Despite our visit occurring just after the start of the blooming season, the crowds, including parking, were very manageable, with very little wait time. Same can be said of shopping and making purchases at the gift shop, ordering food from one of the dozen or so food carts on site, and even finding a table or cozy spot on the lawn to enjoy a meal, or just relax in the warm spring weather. Exploring the fields is a treat and a feast for the eyes, and one doesn't feel rushed or crowded in doing so. Photo opportunities abound here, so you'll frequently encounter young families, annoying influencers, and young couples in love taking advantage of this gorgeous, evanescent landscape, and you should too. To me, tulip season in the west is a lot like hanabi (cherry blossom season) in Japan: a fleeting season when nature, wreathed in radiant raiment, comes into her full floral glory, reminds us that although our time here on Earth is brief, and through our beauty will eventually fade, a new season is perennially on the horizon.

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.

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.
