The worst service!!! I went there tonight and was served by a guy named Parker. When we sat down,…read morehe walked up and I informed him we were members. Instead of telling us what options we had he said what do you want. I told him I didn't know what the different flights were and asked what our membership included. He then seemed annoyed and walked away to grab a menu. When he came back to pour our glass, he didn't even tell us what he was pouring into each of our glasses. He just poured the flight and walked away. When I asked for my fourth pour, he said "I already gave you a four pour. I informed him he did not, but he just argued and insisted I was wrong and said here's your bill. We were planning to order another glass but he didn't not give us the option. I then asked to pick up my shipment but said I could once I paid for my little snack tray. This guy was the worst server I have ever encountered and should not be working here. It wasn't like he was busy at all. We were the only people in the whole place.

Whether you're an old wino...umm well aged oenophile...like my husband and me who have been drinking wine for 40+ years or a complete newbie to the world of wine trying your first glass, go here! Viaggio opened in 2022, a handful of years after we moved from Bend after nearly 20 years as residents, and alas about that timing for us because if we still lived there we would be here weekly, at least, to sip. SET UP: Walls of wine throughout the shop with bottle prices marked on front which I assume one can open to drink there as well as buy to go. But we spied Viaggio on our way to dinner reservations next door (The Hook and Plow) so popped in after dinner. Alcohol lightweights that we find ourselves to be at this age and having had cocktails with dinner, we came in to Viaggio to peruse the by glass menus and bottles and stayed to enjoy pours from the 2oz Coravin menu. Both that menu and the by glass larger pour menus are great ones (I posted photos of both sides of the two menus) which is no surprise given the credentials of the owner, Benjamin Richardson, as both Somm and fine dining management experience including as wine manager at the 3 Michelin starred Meadowood restaurant in the Napa Valley. PAY FOR THE WINE BUT THE PRICELESS EDUCATION IS FREE: We bought a couple of bottles of an Italian varietal I enjoy that is hard to find and when I asked the server if there was any in the shop, I didn't see it in the tall walls of wine as I made a casual pass along them, she said she'd ask the owner. In a few moments Benjamin was tableside with two bottles from different wineries and also to share information about them and the varietal. We paid for both and since we were traveling they were very nice to hang on to them for us for a few days until we passed through Bend again. READ ABOUT THE JOURNEY: Viaggio means journey in English and I so recommend reading the owner's story in his Yelp page summary to learn the significance of that as we were able to do in speaking with him in the shop. If you're wanting to enjoy a glass or bottle of wine in a great space this is the place. If you want help in filling out a wine collection, or to make selections for meal pairing or learn about wine this is the place. If I could wave a magic wand for a perfect wine shop, this would be it. SEATING: Indoors in front and back of shop at tables and chairs and a long communal table at back of shop too. Looks like outside seating as well during daytime and / or nice weather but it was a rainy night when we visited so no outdoor service. EATS: A small selection of wine appropriate nosh are offered on the menu. On the right night, a glass and a plate or two of these would be linner or dinner for us. ACCESSIBILITY: Winos on wheels, as I was in using wheelchair for this visit, are welcome thanks to equal access of level in the door, all on one floor and standard height tables and chairs. Also one side of the communal table is a long bench but the other side are chairs that could be moved for access for wine drinker in a wheelchair to have access to join friends at the same table. You would be amazed how many places miss this important point of providing that kind of full inclusion seating in communal spaces. Good for Viaggio for getting it right. PARKING: The Hixon Apartment lot can be crazy full at night time. Note if you're picking up a wine order there are 30 minute limit parallel parking spots right across from the front of Viaggio. Accessible (AKA ADA) parking is at side of building and at the back side of Hook and Plow.

She shared the history of the Riedel glassware company and explained how the shape of each of the four glasses changes the aroma and flavor of the same wine. It was fascinating to experience the difference firsthand. Ashley was knowledgeable, friendly, and incredibly patient with our group, even when we got a little chatty and wandered off topic. She made the experience enjoyable from start to finish. The charcuterie board was more than enough for the two of us, and every wine we sampled, from the bubbles to the Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and final bottle of Cabernet, was an excellent selection. This was something completely different from a typical wine tasting, and we really enjoyed it. I already have several friends in mind who I think would love this experience. I hope Willamette Valley Vineyards considers making the Riedel Glassware Experience a regular offering!

His caring for us girls didn't go unnoticed either- he made sure all girls were accounted for every time we got on the bus, used his flashlight to make sure we didn't fall off the bus when getting off, and made sure we were safe getting back on the bus, shielding us from oncoming cars. He even surprised us and decorated the inside of the bus when we thought it would be plain. The inside of the bus had a cooler for your drinks, a bar for your snacks with cup holders, and Jon came equipped with water bottles, some chips, and a fun music playlist. Would definitely recommend!!

I opted for the Patagonia Provisions Organic Lager, and it was light and refreshing. Our tour guide was very informative and high energy. You can tell that employees take a lot of pride, especially since they're dubbed co-owners. The tour included a walk through of how beer is made and a peek inside their facilities. I'm not new to beer, so I wasn't sure how much I'd learn; however, my interest was piqued when our tour guide started talking about how sustainable Deschutes' practices are. They even treat their own water! We had some tastes along the way. My only critique is that our tour felt long (~ 2 hours) and there weren't many spots to sit, so be prepared to be on your feet the entire time. My partner and I stopped by the tasting room after - we didn't buy any cans, but enjoyed sampling the latest party bombs on tap. I loved the frozen version too! We left with merch, coupons for their downtown brewpub, and exclusive tour stickers!
