They have seating inside and have a nice back patio. I'm allergic to alcohol (especially wine) so I didn't partake in the wine, but others in our group had the wine flights and enjoyed. They offer a few mocktails, but they appeared to be geared toward the sugary side so I didn't partake. The food was really tasty. I had the quinoa bowl with grilled chicken and my lobster got the Kaiser Burger. They had live music on a Saturday early evening which was a lot of fun. Would definitely return!

First, upon…read morearrival for four nights in town, I couldn't get a reservation, so I emailed the restaurant to put me on the wait list for Thursday (since we were leaving Friday); they actually got back to me with a reservation at the time I requested! As we entered that evening, the place was packed and very buzzy (loved it!), and we were greeted like family! Seated immediately, Dario (owner/chef) came to our table with warm greetings and assistance with wine, giving us a blind taste of 3; we ordered two bottles of the biggest one. Then the bread basket, oh my goodness, gigantic with focaccia overflowing. The beet salad had hundreds of beets, couldn't finish it, but tasty. Then the entrees.... my husband had lasagne, loved the cheesiness and delicious flavor; my dish, Pappardelle al Cinghiale, was huge, enough for at last two, maybe three, I would say. And so delicious, but I had to take half home; the braising sauce was killer! Service was impeccable, warm and friendly, very Italian! Thanks, Dario, for a really fantastic experience! We shall return.

The chef stopped by each table to check on everyone, it was great. Everyone is very friendly. Pastas are very flavorful and rich. I liked the noodles, perfect texture.

My GF yelled "what was that?!?" so I pointed to the sign that said "BIG BOLD REDS" There were no truth in advertising issues. The wines are amazing with some estate grown grapes at the vineyard in Amity but the bulk sourced from Lodi and other Napa AVAs. The tasting room is fun, and while the offerings change, the vibe does not. If you're lucky enough to meet Mike, the manager, he has a dry wit, endless "dad jokes" and an absolute wealth of lore of wine and food. I highly recommend giving them a shot.

Dave is delightful, personable, and incredibly knowledgeable. He explained his winemaking philosophy in a way that made everyone feel included, no matter their experience level. His passion for what he does shines through in every story, especially his inspiring journey into winemaking. By the end, we all felt like we'd made a new friend. The wines were excellent, the tasting room was beautiful, and the view made the whole experience unforgettable. Since Bells Up wines are only available directly from the winery, visiting feels even more special. We can't wait to come back--absolutely loved everything about it.

During our 3rd annual WA/OR wine road trip, among Pinot Noir wines we found Bells Up 2017…read moreVillanelle Reserve to be our unanimous favorite, and agreed that this small winery's Pinot Noir lineup ranked among the best. We three had a 2 hour wine tasting with David on a sunny day in August. This was our first visit. WINES: 5.0. We enjoyed the wines, especially the 2017 Villanelle Reserve Pinot Noir and the 2021 Jupiter Pinot Noir. We purchased 4 bottles of wine to take home; we look forward to tasting them outside the warm, seductive ambiance of our winery visit. SERVICE: 5.0. David, the owner, patiently answered our questions as he guided our 2 hour experience on an outside veranda overlooking a vineyard. We learned new things about wines (both in general and the Bells Up selection in particular), the naming of the Bells Up Winery and of its wines as related to music, and more. AMBIANCE: 4.5. Attractive setting. Our private tasting on the outside veranda was enchanting. Though the sound of a leaf blower at a neighboring property was a minor distraction during the first few minutes, the music of the wines effortlessly drowned it out; the leaf blowing ended soon after our arrival in any case.

This winery we would definitely come back to.

We had a good wine tasting at Rain Dance Vineyards in Newburg, Oregon. Rain Dance was one of a few…read morewineries that we selected for our Willamette Valley wine tour (Oregon Wine Country). The staff was polite, welcoming, and friendly and the atmosphere was relaxing. The experience was like going into a nice home, next to a vineyard, for wine and cheese. Lovely atmosphere. Our group of eight had a Saturday afternoon reservation. We arrived and were seated before 12:30pm and left by around 1:45pm. This did not appear to be a big operation. During our visit, I saw only two lady employees tending to all the customers. Rain Dance has indoor and outdoor seating. We were seated inside. Regardless of where you sit, there are good views of the property's vineyard and garden. It's beautiful and serene. Shortly after our tasting began, a bachelorette party left. Therefore, we had the inside all to ourselves save for a couple seated by the window. The weather was pleasant so several doors to the house were left open, creating a calm, gentle breeze. We had the wines listed below. Individual bottle prices are from the time of our tasting and descriptions are from Rain Dance's website at the time of writing this review ( https://raindancevineyards.com/shop/ ). * 2022 Grand Oak Vineyard Riesling. $32 for 750-mL bottle. "Classic aromas and flavors of stone fruit and tropical flowers are lifted by vibrant acidity on the palate. This drier-style Riesling allows for so much versatility at the dinner table, but fish dishes are our favorites." * 2023 Grand Oak Gewurztraminer. $32 for 750-mL bottle. "A Rain Dance favorite! Gewurztraminer is a rare find in Oregon, especially in such a dry style. Its lively notes of jasmine, peach and spice box are perfect for Asian and Indian dishes loaded with their own exotic spices." * 2022 Estate Pinot Noir Cuvee. $45 for 750-mL bottle. "Fresh notes of cherries, pomegranate, plums, black pepper, pipe tobacco, and cinnamon." * 2021 Grand Oak Vineyard Pinot Noir. $60 for 750-mL bottle. "Bright and fresh with a complex assortment of dark cherries, raspberries, cranberries, intermingled with thyme, sage, and cinnamon." Since the time of our visit, I think the 2022 Grand Oak Vineyard Riesling and the 2021 Grand Oak Vineyard Pinot Noir have been replaced by 2023 and 2022 vintages, respectively. We also had at least two charcuterie boards ($35 each) that included crackers, roasted hazelnuts, onion jam, pork rillettes, raisins, and three kinds of cheese. The total cost for our group for everything was $336, which worked out to $42 per person. While I've been to a lot of wineries/vineyards and done a lot of wine tastings (just search my reviews), I'm still by no means a wine connoisseur. All I can say about Rain Dance is I thought all of the wines were enjoyable. All four, from the riesling to the pinot noirs, were delectable. They smelled and tasted well made and high quality. In short, I enjoyed our visit to Rain Dance and thought it was worth the visit. Rain Dance Vineyards is named after owners and founders Celia and Ken Austin's Rain Dance Ranch. The ranch was established in 1991 and the vineyard was established in 2009.

We love the food, and the service remains top notch.
