This was not the same sandwich we enjoyed 11 years ago. Same owner, perhaps different kitchen staff or purveying products from a different source.

Hayward is nicely remodeled and decorated. There are bar seats, booth seats, table seat and outdoor seating. Outdoor seating is surrounded by lush green plants. There is a tasting menu for $98, but the items are undisclosed, left to the chef to chose so I didn't go with this and ordered a la carte. The bread is served warm, soft, oiled, so good. So good that I ordered a 2nd piece. Probably best bread I've had. The food is good. I wish they had more red meat options though. The cod is probably the best entree item from a consensus. They also have the cutest match boxes. Portions are on the small end. Street parking.

I had a fantastic experience tasting here with my partner. The tasting room itself doubles as a…read morelittle artisanal goods shop-- think little wool/knit wine bags and hand-crafted birdhouses. The birdhouses in particular were absolutely lovely and added so much charm to the space. The tasting room takes walk-ins, and were greeted as soon as we entered and told we could sit anywhere. Our sommelier was absolutely delightful-- there were two women working and both were so, so friendly and made us feel very welcome. We tasted one white (a Chardonnay that I actually quite liked despite it being my least favorite white wine) and a number of reds. When they poured the various pinot noirs, they brought a second glass and had us do a side-by-side comparison. I absolutely LOVE it when tasting rooms make the effort to do this-- it really brings us the differences in the wines so you can tell what you're trying. We also tasted a red blend and a syrah. The syrah was my favorite. In the midst of us tasting the reds, the women pouring for us brought out a couple of chocolate hearts, which was really the cherry (or the chocolate) on top. It's been hard in the past couple of years to find people that offer such a wonderful experience at this price point ($20)-- especially if you're a younger person. I can truly say that this was wonderful, and we will absolutely return next time we are in the Valley.

It's also great that the Studio offers a perfect space for making wine - in some cases startups but often winemakers that are between other gigs or just have small enough production that it doesn't make sense to build out a space of their own. I have visited many times and know a number of winemakers who have utilized this space over the past 20-ish years, and I'm a fan. They hosted a release party this August for McCollum Family Vineyards which was great and the wine was fantastic plus C.J. and Elise McCollum were amazingly gracious hosts. J.C. Somers winery has returned to the Studio in 2026 and makes some of the better wine you'll find anywhere, Jay Somers has been making world class wine in Oregon since the 1990's but currently makes a couple thousand cases on his personal label available at the Studio. Definitely stop by for a tasting if you're in the area, a cool place to visit and some great wine to be tasted/purchased.

This meant to us initially that we weren't walking away without spending some good $$...with that said EVERY wine was smooth and tasty and honestly were reasonably priced. Here's the catch this family owned winery means you're meeting a place that cares more than about the $$ but also about the person/couple etc behind it It didn't take long for us to learn about his cute pup Lando and exchange puppy stories. The wine is reasonably priced with a touch of family. We became wine members not ONLY because we immediately felt like family at the tasting room but because NOT A SINGLE wine disappointed. Each one was unique and flavorful and had a good nose followed by a good full body and smooth finish. (Overally that describes MOST of the wine) HIGHLY recommend!

Wines are very nice and our wine educator was excellent. The location draws a lot of walk-ins but we never felt crowded or neglected. Each tasting is waived with a $100 purchase.

He buys excellent fruit and in turn produces excellent wine. Definitely worth a visit when in Carlton or nearby.

This was an odd experience. I had reserved a tasting with J'Aime a month or so ahead of time--so as…read morea visitor from the midwest, I had put it into my itinerary. The night before, I emailed to confirm--only to get, the next morning, a text from J'Aime saying that I had never followed through. We ended up talking on the phone, and this was so very weird for me because I was actually looking at the email I had sent while she was aggressively arguing that I hadn't sent it. As things developed, she conceded that she missed it (but didn't apologize for gaslighting me), and agreed--somewhat reluctantly--to meet me, as long as I could get there earlier. I got there as fast as I could, maybe 40 minutes ahead of schedule. Then, I was given a very fast tour where I was told to not ask questions, to not speak at all, to just listen to her "set piece." It's not that the "set piece" wasn't interesting--it was, in a way. But 1/3 of it was stuff I already knew, from traveling the area for a couple weeks, and 1/3 of it was stuff she presented so quickly--and clearly not wanting me to ask questions--that I couldn't fully grasp it, as I had wished. The other 1/3 was useful. At the winery itself, the wine was fine, I liked it. There was nothing so special that I felt the need to join a membership, but I did take a bottle of wine back to my Airbnb with me. And to J'Amie's credit, she did make sure that I was fully recompensated for both the tour and the tasting. This was a learning/studying trip for me. I'm a former professor; studying wine is my retirement hobby. To shut "students" down from asking questions is inimical to real learning, so I was very disappointed in this. This was one of two wineries in Oregon who insisted on forced listening, rather than engaging.
