Coeur de Terre Vineyard was a nice surprise. We had never heard about this winery nor did we plan…read moreto visit this space while in the Willamette Valley; but fortunately, we randomly found out about it and were so glad to check it out on a Sunday afternoon. There are so many different wineries around the Willamette Valley, so it's difficult to choose where to go. And of course, the most popular ones will likely be booked up. But my partner found Coeur de Terre and made a reservation for us to visit this winery in the late afternoon, which ended up being a delightful experience. The vineyard is located far from the city, up on a hill, surrounded by other vineyards and orchards. Just the setting itself is worth visiting. The winery with its own vineyard is spacious, with a large, open building that's open for the public. However, where you want to sit is outside on the patio, which overlooks the hills and vineyard. We had a reservation for 4PM on a Sunday, which was the last hour before closing. We tried six different wines: a chardonnay, pinot gris, rose, syrah and two pinot noirs. Now, we came to Oregon wine country because we wanted to explore pinot noirs, which is king in this part of the country. And I can say that the pinot noirs at Coeur de Terre were solid. I normally would not choose a pinot noir, but Coeur de Terre made me a believer. They grow all of their grapes here at the vineyard, and what I liked most about the pinot noirs is that they were more robust than other pinot noirs I've had. I like my reds more bold and heavy, and these pinot noirs were heavier. We had a wonderful experience here, exploring the pinot noirs and taking in the views and setting. The employee who helped us out was friendly, too. I recommend visiting if you're in the area. Tasting is $25 per person, and is waived with a $75 bottle purchase per person.

We came here for my birthday with our family and friends, sitting outside and buying food and both tiers of wine tastings. The food was good, wine was average. The outdoors was busy, with long lines for getting our next pours, thinking we would do the normal thing and get our fill ups indoors we tried that to be met with "out, no" something I would expect when talking to a dog, not a paying customer at a nice winery. When paying over $100 for our three person group I would expect better. Unimpressed. Nice play area for kids though.

I did the red tasting flight which consisted of 3 pinot noirs, a merlot, and a tempranillo. Oregon is known for its pinot noir and those were the wines I thought were best. Niki enthusiastically provided information and details of each wine as she poured. I appreciated her honest insights and opinions of Willamette Valley wines and of various types of wines in general. She really made the tasting experience both fun and educational. The relaxed atmosphere of this place was perfect for sipping wine. I ended up leaving with a bottle of 2021 Tualatin Estate Pinot Noir which was my favorite of the ones I sampled.

Tonight we stopped in to grab a bottle of the Grenache from the Maison Bleu label.

Back to the tasting room... The vibe is chill and there's enough room in here for a few different sized parties. They have some great wine! And cool trinkets, oils and such. If you are in the area, please stop in, say hello and try the Grenache! You'll not be disappointed.

Perfect location for touring the area and visiting wineries and other sites. Very solicitous and professional staff. Becky our hostess is particularly delightful. As guests we are afforded a wine tasting each evening which we have availed ourselves of. The Baileys own the place and produce some very good wines under the Youngberg Hill and Bailey label. We joined the wine club. The setting is wonderful perched on a mountain overlooking vineyards and views of mountains. Ambiance is high end rustic with all the accouterments you might need. Breakfast every morning and wine tasting each evening. No lunch or dinner but we went into town when we needed meals McMinnville, Dayton and other smaller towns are all within 30 min drive. It is serene and peaceful. We would stay here again when in the area. Mark & Nancy

The gal behind the counter was very kind and explained to each wine to us and how it was named after the three daughters of the owners of the winery. The view is beautiful and the wine was tasty. Since it is after harvest, they had sheep wandering around the vineyard, it is an organic winery so they said the sheep were fertilizing. I believe it is also woman owned. They also have hairy coo cows. My friends are in the area for a few months and really like this winery a lot. I'm glad they shared it with me.

The tasting area is a section of the winery itself, so you'll see winemakers coming and going, doing their thing, which adds to the whole ambience. Erich with Ricochet and his team have really done an awesome job setting up a fun, warm, relaxing spot for wine tasting. There are picnic tables, cozy little chairs and tables for two, larger tables for groups, and seating at the bar. There's also heaters around which keeps it warm (because wineries can get chilly!). What I really love is that you can not only taste Ricochet wines here, but also wines from their winery partners who also make wine at that location. I think there were 7 other wineries at the time, but that number changes. Tasting flights are $25/person (waived if you are a club member), and you can choose from either an all Ricochet wine flight or the Ricochet et al wine flight, which includes wines from other wineries. We did the et al flight and it was so fun to taste the differences in winemaking styles. So many great winemakers making delicious wines in one spot! You can also book a tour and tasting for $65/person. Definitely make a reservation for that in advance, although they do take walk-ins for the regular tastings. Our forever favorite is the Ricochet Tempranillo, made with grapes from the Les Collines Vineyard in Walla Walla. It's my favorite vineyard; every wine I've ever had from that vineyard has been amazing. Zane who is also the winemaker of Ze Wines was the one guiding us through our tasting, and Zane is always so knowledgeable and makes wine tasting FUN. The winery is located about 45 minutes to an hour from Portland, depending on where you start. I suggest making a day of it and enjoying lunch or dinner in one of McMinnville's great restaurants (Humble Spirit is a fave!). There's plenty of parking in the winery's parking lot. Definitely add this spot to your wine tasting itinerary! Take it from someone who goes wine tasting a lot: this is an incredible opportunity to taste incredible, unique wines (not just Pinot Noir!) from a lot of different wineries in one spot. We will most definitely be back!!

We used to be members here and were excited to come back to show our friends. The experience was…read moreincredibly disappointing. The person serving us asked if we wanted to buy a bottle, and we said yes, but then he would pour us tiny portions and take the bottle away. He then asked if we wanted to try something else after the first pour. This further confused us since we thought we bought the bottle. But we the assumed we must not have if we was asking if we wanted to try something else. So he brought out an another bottle and did the same thing. Small pour and walked away with the bottle. We were late for another tasting so asked to check out. We noticed we were charged for the two full bottles but we never finished them. Then got a text later from the winery saying they forgot to send us home with the rest of the wine we had purchased. So turns out we had bought the two bottles but were never served the whole bottles. We said we were flying home and unable to get them and asked for a partial refund. They refused. Safe to say this one of the most bizarre experiences we've had at a winery. The customer service was lackluster. I saw other reviews about them being pretentious and I would have to agree. We will never return to this winery, will no longer purchase their wine in stores, and will actively advise friends to do the same.
