Intricate tablescapes and decor everywhere, with amazing vintage pieces and beautiful furniture. I have been everywhere, and there is NOTHING like this. We spent our first 30 min there just walking around in awe. They are super dog friendly! Dogs allowed inside and all the employees seemed happy to have them there. Our dog had a wonderful time sniffing. I did a wine flight so that I could get a bit of everything. The tasting room is full of light and all the colorful vintage decor sparkles. No two inches look the same. The staff was so friendly, petting our dog and checking on us just the right amount. The wine was lovely. There was so much variety in the flight and each one was totally unique from things I have tried in the past. We spent hours here playing "I spy" with all the decor. I will be thinking about this place for a long time and can't wait to return!

The wines I tasted were quite delicious, my favorite being a Cab Franc blend. After my tasting, i enjoyed a full glass. They offer a wonderful selection of food to accompany the wine, the charcuterie board has high quality meats, cheese, olives and a baguette. Enough for four. On weekends when the adjoining food hut is open, try whatever they are making! Tamales, tacos, sliders - you can't go wrong. Plenty of seating areas available to accommodate couples or groups. Inside there are views everywhere you look. The covered patio on the side is peaceful and serene, great on a warm day and provides shade during the super hot summer. Kids and dogs welcome! Small 2 man operation and it shows in the warm hospitality And friendly service. The owners have lots of chickens so you will often find beautiful fresh eggs for sale right at the bar.

Located right on 2nd Street in The Dalles, it's a great place to stop if you're wandering the various tasting rooms and bare pubs in the area. Since it was my first time here, I did the flight. The first wine, the Locomotive, had me with the very light taste with hints of honey and papaya. Not one to typically drink whites, I was surprised at how much I enjoyed it. On a warm or even hot day, this would be perfect. As I made my way through the tasting, I found that I was enjoying several of their wines. The High Tension, their club favorite, was a full bodied blend of Syrah, Merlot and Barbera. A perfect everyday drinking wine And good for parties where you need a wine that pleases many palettes.The other standout for me was the Barbera. Very smooth, full body and slightly jammy. Since I'm in a Barbera club at Cascade Cliffs, I left with the Locomotive. I'm looking forward to a warm spring day to sit in my deck and enjoy with friends. The tasting room inside is small and simple. A picnic tables and seats out in the paved area out front, nice on a sunny day. I'll definitely be back.
