Highly recommend because of the relaxed atmosphere...art adorns the tasting room for purchase...and the backstory to that caught my attention. All of the artists paintings have a life story. But on to the wines! Our party enjoyed the Rosé of Gamay Noir...sunshine in a bottle! Elegant & delicious...definitely as the French say "Yummy". The 2023 Aligoté ohhh man... *sighs* I can still recall how this could be the winner for crab cakes or seafood. They are among a hand few of estates that produce this in Oregon. We were fortunate enough to taste the Sauvignon Blanc that is grown lower in the vineyard. John, the passionate proprietor, described how this was unique to Oregon and it is. He described how the location of the vines receive a warmer growing climate...and it was evident as we toured. The Savignon Blanc was unlike anything...I lived in New Zealand, and I appreciate Sancerre ...their Savignon Blanc crossed that bridge with bliss to my taste buds. Worth it!!! The Chardonnay was exceptional as well... I believe the 90 plus scores from wine writers and critics...it was paired with Seasonal Salad with PNW Salmon Arugula, radicchio, shaved cabbage, green leaf lettuce, cherry tomatoes, radish, and hazelnuts with green goddess dressing...just enough acid and just enough fruit, wonderful balance. You be the judge! Onto the Pinot Noir... Paired with four month aged Beemster goat cheese. It was a 2021 that shined. Just enough body like Sophia Loren, just enough depth like a podcast you want to listen to again and again. Captured my palette for sure. Next it was the Gamay Noir...not sure how you wine folks like Gamay or have had experiences with per se...their Gamay Noir is svelte... it's like you're a kid and... it's your first dance...it's delicate and light...it has sensibility...harmony... a perfect dancing partner... Make a reservation and explore this unique place. What makes Oregon wine country unique are the people and the way they farm. Hats off to Balsall Creek! Will be back!

This was some of the best wine I had in the region. Getting there can be a little top as the road is not paved. It is worth the trek. We sat inside by the wood fireplace that had a warm fire going. They let you bring your own food and beverage in to enjoy with their wine if you'd like. They also have heaters and blankets outside. If you spend $120 on wine per person, the tasting is complementary. They have free range, chickens, and oysters roaming the property. My favorite was the estate blend.

We are rooted in building from the ground up- first with the planting of Paul's father-in-law's vineyard in 1998, then the creation of Bergstrom Wines in 1999 and next, the planting of our own vineyard. The experience gained in these early years led us to the creation of our brand de Lancellotti Family Vineyards in 2005. The beginning years opened our eyes to biodynamic farming- a holistic practice of farming used for generations in the premiere vineyards around the world, but one that is largely misunderstood until you have spent a lifetime in vineyards. Attention to detail starts in a farm. The peers we respect most in this industry are those whose farmer's mindset is rooted in the health of our planet. Today, de Lancellotti wines are a result of fruit sourced from some of the finest vineyards in Oregon, hand selected and intentionally farmed throughout the year. Our wines are produced in a shared winemaking facility, with great friends and peers, located in McMinnville, Oregon under the guidance of consultant Robert Brittan. Simply put, farming great vineyards and sourcing the finest Pinot noir and Chardonnay is our passion.

We weren't too hungry but anxious to try the mushroom Brushetta, with the wines. I'm not the biggest Chard fan, but OMG, the mushrooms were fantastic with the whites as well as the Pinots. I would love to go back, order multiple food pairings and soak up the sun, enjoying what our State has to offer.

Looking over the vineyard sitting by a big fire drinking one of their famous wines just can't be beat. Snuggle up with a blanket outside and taste the many delicious wines they have to offer. If the outdoors is not your favorite go inside to the very cozy lounge area and sit by the beautiful indoor fire and have your tasting there. Listen to Dave as he explains the interesting history of each bottle that you taste. It's just delightful, chill and charming. The wines are excellent and very well priced!! The tasting is also one of the best prices in the area, only $25.00 which is a bargain! You can pay big bucks for tasting at some of the other vineyards and not get near the quality that you can here. They do not sell any food but you can bring your own!! In the summertime enjoy the beautiful landscape overlooking the vineyard and have your wine outside. Every season is great!! Call ahead and make a reservation to guarantee the best experience ever!!
