They always have some new interesting menu happening for bites to accompany the wines. Their wall of wines to purchase are amazing. And plenty of room to sit quietly or gather with friends.

Located in an 120 year-old barn in cottage Grove, Oregon at the southern end of the Willamette Valley. This is a beautiful spot. There's a large gravel parking lot with tables and chairs outside for the perfect tasting experience during the summer and fall months. Inside there are a number of large tables and seating at the bar if you're not into meeting new people at your table. During my visit, the young lady, waiting on us was outstanding both in terms of her customer service and her knowledge about Saginaw wines, and wines in general. She made great recommendations to everyone who came into the tasting room. There are food options here with both a small and large cheeseboard, and some 10 inch pizzas. Both of these go very well as an accompaniment to the wine. I particularly liked the Malbec with the cheeseboard. There is also a Muller Thurgau white that is really good. A great German food wine, unusual to find in the US! I was there on a Saturday afternoon and the place was really buzzing by 4-5 pm as it filled up with locals. Very impressive wines that have won awards in Oregon. Their Pinot Niur is not the fruit bomb you find in California, but a very pleasant, light drinking wine with a bit of a spicy backbone, reminiscent of a Syrah. I REALLY enjoyed my visit and bought a bottle of the Muller Thurgau to share with my friends in Phoenix

We worked closely with Carolyn P. and Paula W. who could not have been more helpful with helping find the perfect fit for our groups needs. Catering was top notch, and the serve staff was awesome. Nearly invisible, however they were diligent in making sure everything was set-up and removed at the right times. Bravo! The only negative point was that the college was closed the day of our Friday evening kick-off workshop. Thus the conference room was warm and stuffy once we had all 85 folks inside. Lorette G. from the LCC staff did everything in her power to rectify the situation. We did manage to cool the room by opening a portion of the next room to create some cross ventilation. On Saturday, the conference day, Lorette was eager to please all of our last minute requests. Can not say enough about how warm and professional she is. From our post conference survey to the attendees , everyone enjoyed to venue site and would entertain us having another district conference held there again.

The food is always delicious and beautifully presented. They are so easy to work with, I can always rely on them to do everything even better than I could dream of. Jeanie really works to provide a quality product. The food at an event is probably the most talked about and lasting impression that is made. With Jeanie, I know that my guests (and my workmates at lunch) will always rave! My most favorite things are her lasagnas, cheese plates (amazing), salads, and the ahi wonton hors-d'oeuvres, but honestly, everything is always great- and she can make your culinary dreams come true. It is really fun to plan special events with her too- we had a 50's party and she made great steak & potatoes, wedge salads and little sliders and french fries for hors d'oeuvres... and fun specialty milkshakes and cocktails--- it's always an absolute joy to have her and her team work an event- they are all pros. I can't think of a caterer I'd recommend more, I only have eyes for Flavors!
