    Harvest Board
    Joanna G.

    Ponzi has amazing views and atmosphere, a fantastic charcuterie/harvest board and attentive service! Love it!

    Fantastic experience! Did the lunch pairing and the food was great and paired very well with the wine. The experience felt personal and private and although we weren't members we never felt less than. The som seemed knowledgeable and stayed professional throughout. Any additional wines that weren't included in our tasting that we wanted to try, she made happen. If visiting the area if definitely give Ponzi a go.

    Proper glass ware is a thing. Gabriel glas it top notch for those wine nerds like us.

    Just moved to the area and was excited to see a winery I recognize from selling in the past. Came to check it out with my friend and they did not disappoint. Reservation are needed but they did let us in. The staff was friendly and inviting. We did notice the glassware right away and were impressed by the ambience. The wines paired perfectly with there charcuterie board, which we highly recommend.

    Harvest Tour Pros: This tasting and tour was absolutely beautiful. The grapes were out of this world! We got a chance to actually taste the various grapes off the vine and wow! The wine was super good! I dont drink wine or red because of the bitter taste sometimes. But their red wines were so smooth and tasty and sis not leave a bad taste!!!!! There were a lot of bees but its to be expected at a vineyard!! 10 out of 10 would visit this spot again. Cons: N/A

    Had a great time with our server Matthew. He explained the wines and the winery perfectly. My only issue is again with the POS system that winery's use. The tasting fee was $80 for two people. I purchased $500 worth of wine. The suggested tip in the system was over $100. Why should tip on wine I am buying? Do I do that in a grocery store? Wineries needs to fix this.

    I came for the $85 food and wine pairing experience. The winery is beautiful, the grounds are spectacular, and the woman who took care of us was warm and friendly, and knew her stuff about the wine. The wine was absolutely delicious -- every single wine we tasted. Yes, it's very expensive and thus not an everyday wine for me, but it was worth splurging on a few bottles. The table for the food and wine event was beautifully set, and it was a really fun experience and I got to meet some interesting new people. The food was phenomenal, and the chef did a great job explaining his choices and what we were eating and why. I've done a lot of wine pairings, and this was truly the best, where every wine perfectly suited the food and vice versa. They were generous with the wine at this event, and there was always something in our glasses. The only reason I give four starts instead of five is because I called ahead to explain that I didn't eat red meat and asked if they could accommodate me, and they told me the chef would make a substitution. I expected chicken or tofu or even beans instead of the steak, but they just increased the amount of veggies on my plate. They were delicious, but there was no protein in my meal, and not even a slice of bread, piece of cheese, a nut or anything substantial. Drinking wine with just veggies left me loopy for the rest of the day, not to mention that I paid the same as everyone else but didn't get a main course. This didn't take away from my enjoyment of the winery, but I hope the staff will be more willing and able to accommodate people who want to enjoy a pairing without the beef.

    This place had been on our list for a long time and so when we had our friend in town and did not have anything better to do on a snowy Sunday morning, we decided to head to Ponzi. Everything from start to finish was just perfect at this place. We tried their tasting flight and also got a few bonus pours. As I am mostly a red wine drinker, was really surprised when I liked both their Riesling and Chardonnay. I also really liked their reserve Pinot and the gelato wine they have went so well with all the dried fruit on their charcuterie board. The tasting room was tastefully decorated for the holidays and we got to sit by a cozy fire. The person who served us was very friendly and knowledgeable. I definitely recommend this place and their wines.

    Ponzi makes my favorite Oregon wines. It was so fun to be able to enjoy their wine in person. So beautiful and serene. FOOD: We added the charcuterie board to our reservation - it was a disappointing board for $40 but nice to have something to munch on while we enjoyed our wine. The wine were all great. I did an all white flight so it was nice to be able to customize with your preference. AMBIANCE: Beautiful scenery and location. It felt so nice and the view is gorgeous. Super clean and elegant. SERVICE/PRICE: Service was good, although we had 3-4 different hosts throughout our experience which got a bit confusing. It's a bit pricey but worth it to go at least once. Food & Beverages: 4 (would be higher if the board was better) Ambiance & Cleanliness: 4.5 Price Point: 3.5 Overall Experience: 4

    Such a beautiful vineyard and tasting room. Ponzi's landscaping, views, and modern tasting room/patio is the best I've seen so far. I'm sad that my experience did not live up to its complete potential (COVID impacted), but that just means I will be coming back! Arrived on a Sunday right at opening and had the place to ourselves outside surrounding the fire pit on a foggy + lightly misty day for a few hours before other guests arrived. It may have not been sunny out but the fog laying over the vineyard and hills was still such a sight to see Due to current restrictions, there was no food, no flights, and no bottle service. So... make sure you eat beforehand! Our server Shannon was great. I could tell she was sorry for the limited offerings but made sure to educate us on what the winery was like during it's more "normal" operations. She suggested when to come to enjoy chef specials in the future and helped with explaining the flavors of the wines available for tasting. They were offering only 4 wines by the glass, 2 whites (Pinot Grigio and Arneis) and 2 reds (Pinot Noir and Dalcetto). I had 2 glasses of the Arneis and 1 of the Dolcetto. The Dolcetto was more bold and dry, a nice wine for those into reds. I preferred the Arneis since it was dry, light and a tint fruity - a unique White offered only at this Vineyard. Wish it could've been paired with some food! Def enjoyed the fire pit on a cold day which made being outside bearable!

    What a beautiful vineyard, overall space + delicious wine selection. I adored the modern touches of the space - the cement finishes, black furniture to contrast and the covered terrace. This was one of our first actual vineyards that we've been able to visit since living in Portland and we were not disappointed. My favorites of the signature tasting were the Chardonnay and complimentary/welcome rosé. We also ordered the cheese + charcuterie selection to share. A few things I'd like to call out is that I wish we would've received an explanation of the estate, which I'm sure that was probably part of the estate tasting but we only did the signature tasting. It just would've been nice to know what we could check out/where we could walk around since it was our first time there. Additionally, at $45 for the signature tasting, the pours could've been a little bit more. Currently, Ponzi is only accepting reservations which can you make online. It's a $10 booking fee per person, which upon checking out, states the fee will be applied to your final cost. However, after we finished, we were billed the total cost and the initial $10 per person booking fee was fully refunded to us. Just thought I'd throw that out there since I was a little confused and had to ask our host about it. Overall, we had a great time here and would definitely come back.

    Bocce Ball

    Harvest Hike & Sunset Tasting - we enjoyed an afternoon hike through the Vineyard with a guided tour of the vineyard and the winery. We enjoyed the Rose for the afternoon. It was a perfect afternoon enjoying wine, playing Bocce Ball and taking in the beautiful views. The team was friendly and fun.

    Attended a member tasting event and it was a pleasant afternoon even though it was cold and raining outside. I am not new to Ponzi, they always do a great job of hosting member events. We were greeted at the door with bubbles (Blanc De Blanc and entered another space with two other tastings (Chardonnay and Pinot Noir) paired with small bites (ceviche and brie bite). We moved to the second area and tried another additional wines (2 Pinot Noirs) and more small bites (fritter and crostini). I am traditionally not a red wine drinker and the second room offered reds. I declined and they provided me with two glasses of bubbles as an alternative. The bubbles was my absolute favorite of the day so I was thrilled to have another. There were high top pub tables and no chairs. I didn't mind but one of the girls in the group recently had a leg injury so finding a place to sit wasn't really an option for her. The bites were decent, not overly exciting but paired well with the wine. If you came hungry you would've needed to grab a bite afterward. For the price, it would've been nice to see more hearty appetizers. The interior space is beautiful and the views of the vines and exterior landscape is undeniably gorgeous even on an inclement weather day.

    Just a little drizzle but it did not stop us from enjoying our Ponzi tasting.

    Ponzi is one of our favorites with beautiful views, great wine and excellent service. Anytime of year is a great visit whether it's a Spring or Summer visit spent outside playing bocce ball or a Fall or Winter's Day by the fireplace sipping from their tasting menu.

Fast forward to today, we own a car and decided it was time to find a more local option. After visiting Hawks View this past weekend I can say we've accomplished that and then some. This place sits firmly in the sweet spot of not being too "dinky" or small and not being too stuffy or corporate. I know we all have our preferences, I just like for my environment to be laid back or relaxed. The wines are fantastic here. Keep in mind, I'm no connoisseur of fine wine but I do know good from bad. Beyond the wine, we love this place due to the view (of course) but also the fact you can parlay your wine allocation pick up with a rotating menu of food.

Beware the yellow jackets if you order food and are seated outside! Hopefully, they will find the nests and reduce the problem We went in early evening and were hungry so we ordered a couple of the flatbreads, hummus platter and a gazpacho. We had the white and OG flatbreads and both were delicious. Bigger than expected so we wound up taking one home. The hummus plate was also delicious and the gazpacho was the best I have ever tasted! Now on to the wine flights. We both had flights which they let us customize. We both loved all the wines we tried and we both bought a few bottles to take home. It is unusual for me to like all the wines anywhere so it was a nice surprise. We finished our meal and moved outside with a glass of the Reserve Chardonnay to relax on the lawn. The service was a tad slow - perhaps because they had a trainee that day? Hopefully, when I go again, and I will, the service will be a bit faster.

The excitement began during the drive up to the tasting room from the roadway, where incredible views across the valley took my breath away. The clear vistas on the fall day were gorgeous, with much of the Cascade Range in view. Once inside, we were greeted in a warm, bright space that felt comforting and familiar. There was football on, views galore, and plenty of fascinating Oregon history and wine country information - a true space for anyone! Mary was our server (I think), and she was very helpful for the entire journey. It was great to learn so much about the history of the land and the current owners. I enjoyed tasting the variety of wines produced on the property and nearby, and I definitely preferred the rosé blend and the Chardonnays. If you are a fan of Pinots, you will like them, too, but the aromas and flavors are slightly tamer than my preference for bright fruit and spice notes. We also ordered a charcuterie board, and the crew was very accommodating to all of our needs. We spent some time walking the grounds, too, and I can absolutely see myself returning to drink some rosé by the pool in summer.

Our host explained they use regenerative farming and winemaking processes. Their wines are aged in clay amphora casks, something we had never heard of, which imparts unique, earthy characteristics. Since the clay allows for a slow oxidation, the wine has softer flavors without the oak derived butter, vanilla and spice flavors. It's a middle ground between the oxidation of oak bottles and the more sterile stainless steal. We enjoyed the education and the wines! Would love to come back in the spring or summer for the full Garden Cottage experience. Since this is a small, family owned winery, tastings are by appointment only. Their website has the link.
