Purple Hands Winery - a man standing in front of barrels - Wineries Near Me - Dundee, Oregon

Nice wine but the pours were so small it was hard to determine which wine to buy. Not worth $35.00 tasting fee. Literally was done tasting in 30 min. read more

Not very impressed. $30 for tastings and $30 for a glass of wine. I might expect that for a posh winery in the hills, with a view, but this is a small tasting room in town with no bells or whistles. I realize tasting fees have gone up - but being that I was the driver that day, I wasn't expecting for the day to cost much - but in stopping here, the minimum I was going to spend was $30. Our workaround was buying their least expensive bottle of wine and sharing it with 2 others. That was their chardonnay. It was $70. Ouch! Not only painful in price, but it was very yellow, but not in a buttery-good way. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't $70 great either. It was not note-worthy. It could have been any chardonnay you'd pick up at random at Safeway. Anyway, The gal pouring became a bit aloof when she realized we were not going to be a $120 table or taking $70+ bottles home. It was a decent pit-stop, on our way to the Street of Dreams, but I preferred the glass of wine I bought there, because at least it came with a gorgeous view of the valley. read more

Purple Hands Winery - Wineries Near Me - Dundee, Oregon

We have been members of Purple Hand's Winery for several years. It has been a long time since we visited in person. The winery and tasting room are located on the main drag of Dundee Oregon. We didn't have reservations and they were at their limit for the small tasting room, but they were happy to serve us outdoors. We preferred this arrangement since we were accompanied by our 11 month old Golden Doodle. We were offered 5 different tastings of Pinot Noirs. The winery neither fines or filters their wines. Let me just say the owner/winemaker Cody Wright makes really good wines. We got our club shipment delivered to our house just a few days before we left for our trip. Despite a shipment waiting at home, we bought a few more bottles. read more

What can I say other than great wine consistently every year. Cody and his wife / team do a fantastic job making us welcome. Jordan is always great to spend time with and is very knowledgeable of all the wines. Lynne and I have been members for a little over a year now and just attended our first members only event at the winery. Red Hills Market supplied the food, and there was plenty of room for everyone. I highly recommend Purple Hands!! read more

I drove by the new tasting room everyday, and when they opened, we had to check it out! The building itself looks awesome! And then there is the name... Purple Hands.... so intriguing! When I learned that Cody, the winemaker, is son of Ken Wright, I knew this had to be some great Pinot! When you grow up in this industry and learn the trade, naturally great things will come of it! We tasted with Jordan and signed up for the club. At the time all they had were Pinot's which we love. At the recent club pick up party , we tasted their Chardonnay. Like a lot of Oregon chards, it's light and minerally, not buttery. But the price point on this was a bit high for me. I can't swallow $75 for an Oregon Chard! I was also bummed when we were at the party, we talked with Cody's wife, and she told us about their Rose! I love Rose!!! We were ready to purchase a few bottles, but only to find out they did not have it at the tasting room. It's in off site wine storage, so we can only order this on line. Between this issue, and not receiving half the emails for club offerings/news... is the reason for only 4 stars. The wines are really great, but I think there are still a few bumps they are working out. We almost missed the pick up party due to the communication error :( read more

We loved their model for testing. When we visited we had the chance to try some wines that were only different by year. The location, the vine and the process were exactly the same, only the weather had changed. An absolutely fascinating experience! read more

This review is largely based on our service. We walked in on a Tuesday, right at opening so we were the only people in the place. We shared a flight, and while the wines themselves seemed to be of a great quality, our service didn't match the quality. We were given no information about the wines we were tasting, no background information about the winery which we were accustomed to at all of the other wineries we visited. It felt a bit awkward to just sit in silence to be honest. I dont know if its because we are relatively young that they felt they didnt need to inform us, but it wasn't appreciated in any case. read more

Very friendly people at this winery. Came here on the weekend to try some wines and had a small picnic. The tasting room is very cute. Enjoyed all their wines. We did the tasting and then bought a bottle to drink outside with our lunch. There is a cute picnic area just outside the tasting room. Will definitely be back. Only thing that was weird were the prices of the wine were more than listed on the website. Not sure why. Still really enjoyed our time here. Also bought a bottle to take home. read more

Came here over Memorial Day weekend 2018. Was curious to try it after one of their wines was listed in the Wine Spectator Top 100 list for 2017. There's not many OR pinots listed for the year, so it certainly seems like a distinctive honor. That particular wine is, of course, sold out. Tasting was $20 for a flight of mediocre wines. The tasting room is conveniently located off 99, but it doesn't make for the most appealing tasting room. Not worth stopping by. read more

What a great stop on a wine tour day in August. Molly represented the wines so well and shared in detail the process of the grapes to the glass and the love that the winemaker puts into the wines. The Chardonnay and 828 were my tops, but I actually loved all of them. We will be back! read more

During a day of wine tasting, this tasting room stood out as one of the best and most conveniently located to our hotel. The wine was delicious, but what really made it was the staff. The staff had us laughing the whole time, friendly, and knowledgeable. The wine dog was friendly and also kept us entertained. The wine was so good, I had to join the club! read more

Great winery, great people. We met the winery owners at their vineyard tasting room, it was an excellent experience. Great wines and knowledgeable down to earth owners. They also turned us on to another local winery, Eminent Domaine, which is exceptional too. read more

the wine at this winery was delicious, we went in there because we were told there was no open reservations at another winery down the road, and we were with our 14 month old. they were very friendly and super nice and very accommodating to bring in a toddler. The space is smaller, but the wine was delicious read more

One of my favorite wines! Came here for the first time with my family and had an incredible experience. We arrived around 11:15am and had the while tasting room to ourselves. Jordan was an excellent host and provided an in-depth tasting experience for us all. Their wines were unique and full of flavor...plus they were all very nicely priced! Needless to say we left as club members and consider this winery to be among our favorites in the valley! read more

This was the highlight for myself and my husband on our trip to Portland. I hate myself for not getting any pictures here.... but the wine was so good and the staff was so friendly we forgot about our phones. (Don't you love it when that happens!?!) We came on Friday after Thanksgiving and were their first tasters! We got to meet Ken Wrights son, Cody. I'm not sure if he is always there but it was great hearing his story and knowing he didn't get a hand out from his father to start his winery. They had a great spread of 7 wines and tons of bread and cheese. I literally cannot express how good their pinots are. If you like a clean finish, light but jammy pinot, this is your place to go! This was the only place that we actually joined their wineclub. (We really don't like joining wine clubs that are too far away that we aren't able to take advantage of the perks, like discounts and pick up parties.) It's $300 a year plus shipping. 6 bottles once a year in March. OMG, we cannot wait until March to get our first shipment. So we bought 3 bottles here to tie us over until then! They guys waived the tasting fees and gave us the 20% club member discount. This place is still small enough to have a great homey/boutique feel but man oh man do they know their pinots!!!!! This is probably the only place that we would return to in a future trip to Portland. GO HERE! You will not regret it! read more

Considering there is circa 694 vineyards and 507 wineries within the Willamette Valley according to the website willamettewines.com; it is hard for one specific winery to stand out. However, in my opinion, Purple Hands Does stand out. First of all, lets start with the name Purple Hands Winery. I think that tells so much story in the name, and is so visual of the heart & soul that they put into their work, leaving their hands purple. It is meaningful name, and a unique name. After a point, if you have been to a couple of wineries it is hard to remember the name, a lot of them have "Ridge" in the name or "Crest" or "View" and Purple Hands resonants as a name that sticks with you and you will remember at the end of the day (even after multiple glasses of wine!) Secondly, as you drive up to the winery you will notice the *BUMPY, gravel road. So, it is fun to get out into true "Wine country" a bit, but it it is not too far off the beaten path. I can't throw a baseball very far, but, ultimately you can throw it in any direction and hit a different winery! There are many wineries in that area, so you can go to a couple nearby and make a trip of it. But, I think Purple Hands is great as a destination in itself, there is a picnic area. (Also, you can tell a difference between the true Oregon wineries vs. the California-style wineries, The Oregon ones definitely allow you to picnic and bring food. But, the California style ones, think it is "Tacky" I guess? So, they generally don't allow outside food at all, and when they don't provide food either, it is a little grating. Regardless, Purple Hands winery does Oregon proud and allows picnicking!! They also allow dogs outside on the property, which is nice!) I also love the outside, it is boutique and cute, and rustic but it is also simple! It is not overly bearing- Rustic-country-cute. I've been to several wineries in Oregon that focus more on be cutesy and rustic and the trendy idea of the style, instead of actually focusing on the most important thing: the TASTE of the wine! But, Purple Hands does it right. It is not overly trendy, you are not gonna walk away with your mediocre bottle of wine in a cute little red and white cute polka dot bag, wrapped up in coordinating tissue paper. Their priority is the wine and I respect that. I've been lucky enough to be here twice so far, and I hope to go there more. Their tasting flight is a little bit spendy at about $15 a taste, and I don't believe it gets waived for wine purchases. But, they are fun to taste and to drink, and worth the price! Also, bringing up the number of wineries in the Willamette Valley region again, a lot of them tend to be Pinot Noir. Of course! There has been a lot of research over the years, and the grape thrives in this region. And, naturally, if you have been more to one winery or vineyard in a day, you get a 'lil tired of the Pinot Noir-eccentric tastings. However, these guys do Pinot Noir's well!! In my recent flight, I tasted 4 different Pinots, and they were from different vineyards and years (Holstein, Freedom Hill, LatchKey, Shea) And, it was fun to think about the geographic regions and how that effecting their tasting profile. The Tasting Room Associate, Cole, helped me visualize it and where the locations were. For example, Freedom Hill is located very west, almost in the Oregon Coast region. And, many thousands and thousands of years ago that soil was actually in the ocean!!! So, the wine actually tastes saline, it tastes salty! haha j/k the ocean doesn't taste like the ocean, but it is fun to imagine it. And, to quote Cole, it is "history captured in a bottle." And, the bottle that caught my eye was from the Holstein Vineyard with jory soil, it is volcanic. I believe that vineyard is in the ribbon ridge AVA (I'm not 100% certain on that statement, you might want to fact check it.) And, a brief explanation of an AVA, is an "American Viticultural Area". And, basically that is a fancy way to describe a geographic area with similar geographic characteristics where grapes are grown. I also loved the bottle from the Latchkey Vineyard it was very unique and complex, and lead to a lot to think about while drinking it. Cole, also taught me a lot about their Native Fermentation processes. And, the unique processors that the winemaker has that makes their wines bold and unique. Cody, the winemaker does things a little untraditional, but it sounds like he has very strong wine making foundations. With his dad being Ken Wright, and his step-dad also being a wine maker in the industry as well. And, Cody does a good job of fusing the science and the tradition of wine making along with the art expression with it. read more

A lovely experience. The tasting room is a little off the beaten path, but the wines are well worth the trip. Mary, the tasting room manager was warm and friendly. Being a bit of a novice in tasting but knowing what I like, I soaked in all the knowledge she willingly shared. My favorite was a 2011 Stoller Vineyard pinot noir. This winery is marked for return. read more

This is a mitzvah, we heard about this up and coming vineyard on our way to pick up our member shipment nearby. The tasting room is cozy but spartan nevertheless the gal behind the counter Mary made everyone feel beyond welcomed. I admired how she catered to the nonstop flow of visitors from fielding questions to keeping the tasting rotation and ringing up sales. The tasting experience is always accented by the hospitality of the pourer. Thank you Mary we shall return. read more

After visiting Stoller vineyards we were told by the lady who helped us there Adele, to go to this location. We had already planned on going to Evening Land Vineyard, don't waste your time rude, and are so happy we made our final stop here. The young lady who assisted us was so knowlegeable and we felt very welcomed. I can't say enough about this location and highly recommend it. read more

Severely disappointed. Was recommended by Shea Vineyards, whose wines are spectacular. Was looking for a smaller vineyard. Unfortunately, Purple Hands is far too new. Their wines aren't great - which I can live with - but their atmosphere can only be described as bro-y. The ambiance screams Ed Hardy, and the wine descriptions use the same "happy wine" vernacular for every wine. Simply put: there are far too many good wineries in the Willamette Valley to stop by Purple Hands. read more

Owner needs to take a class on how to talk to customers. He was so curt I was embarrassed to be standing there. I considered just leaving but I didn't want to create a scene. He was mean to me but friendly to a group of tourists. Maybe he thought they'd buy wine. Well, he sealed that deal. As soon as I finished the tasting I put down my 15 dollars for the tasting fee and drove away. The wine was OK but I couldn't wait to get out of there. read more

This place is great, one of my favorites in Dundee Hills. Its really the perfect small winery tasting experience ...... fantastic wine, not insanely priced ..... All pinot as you would expect, but a nice variety of vintages and different sub AVA choices ...... A very friendly tasting room staff who really take the time to talk to each customer and provide helpful recommendations. to guide your day. The tasting room itself was very well done, nicely setup and a great transformation of the farmhouse. This is one we'll bring our friends to when taking tourists about town. read more

Stopped by from a recommendation from a Local wine club director. Was amazed to humbly be served from the wine maker and his wife. The pinots we tasted were young but amazingly approachable at such a young age. This is the perfect winery for wine lovers who are tired of the hustle and bustle tasting rooms and who want to taste the heart and soul of what real Willamette Pinot is. read more
