We had a wonderful time at Seufert Winery with friends sharing some great and affordable wine and beer in the quaint courtyard overlooking the park and next to the cute gift shop. The interior of the tasting room is lovely too. Michelle is a local wine maker sourcing the best grapes from the area for the wines she produces. She also offers small plates and a fantastic charcuterie board. You should check out all that Dayton offers. read more

Shout out to Michelle for being such a fantastic host! She stopped processing her harvest and opened the tasting room for us. She even brought pinot grapes for us to taste with the Pinot Noir. Talk about a next-level experience. This visit was our second time here, and she has always been welcoming, and the wine is SO great! The music, hospitality, and wine... epic read more

Seufert Winery - Pinot grapes she allowed us to taste with the wine. - Wineries Near Me - Dayton, Oregon

Cozy (small) and modern shop with friendly staff (Michelle when we were there). Good wines. They also sell fascinating salts!

Charcuterie board was great, my kids ate most of it, customer service was amazing, felt so welcomed. I do have to say, the wine was not my favorite. I guess I had a much higher expectation, which is my fault for assuming. But I loved the ambiance and service that I ordered a bottle to go still. Well worth it still. read more

Seufert Winery - Wine tasting - Wineries Near Me - Dayton, Oregon

Came across this cozy little tasting room partially from other positive reviews, and also because they happened to be open on Wednesdays when a lot of other wineries are closed. Michelle was a great host and spent a lot of time with us explaining her wines and the process. We thoroughly all the wines, and it's fascinating to compare the influences of the different vineyards on the finished product. It's also fairly uncommon to find wines from 2014 for sale at very reasonable prices! read more

What a fantastic find. The reds are bold, beautiful, and brilliant. The winery is just 3 years old and gorgeous. The tastings are only $5 and refundable with a bottle tasting. One of the best deals in the Dundee Hills and Willamette Valley areas. Situated right in downtown Dayton town, it has the same charisma and class as the wineries in downtown Sonoma or Healdsburg in California. The winery was very relaxing and full of charm. I really enjoyed my stay. With free WiFi and a great music soundtrack - I just felt like I found my new "happy place". The red swivel chairs make a person want to settle in and feel like home.. definitely will be coming back. This was a beautiful place to reflect, recharge, and relax at. I really enjoyed the fine wines and our lovely visit. Beautiful memories. read more

This was our last wine tasting stop in three days of Willamette Valley wine tasting. We had planned it to be so. Because while Seufert bottles several small lot options in Pinot Noir, and gets critical kudos on their Pinot as good value of quality at lower cost, they also bottle reds other than Pinot Noir. Those can be hard to find in the Willamette Valley and since we were doing the groundwork for an upcoming event with folks in tow who are red wine drinking centric but NOT Pinot Noir fans (imagine), we wanted to round out possible stops with winemakers making different reds. BOTTOM LINE We liked this funky little wine tasting room a lot! Located on the main street of woeful looking downtown Dayton, one walks in the tasting room to the wonderful aroma of wine aging in barrels. It's been a long time since we've been in a Willamette Valley winery that actually greets the public in their barrel room. This is considerably funkier than the wineries we visited in the days prior, and it was fun to have the sense of independent wine making as it used to be in other wineries in both the Willamette and Napa valleys. That's what moved us to saying "yay" and we'll go back. WINES Wine maker Jim Seufert is a fourth generation Oregonian with family roots in the Willamette Valley. The focus of his boutique winery is on Pinot Noir ($30 - $50 / bottle retail), with grapes sourced from different vineyards, but Seufert also make other wines. Including Pinot Gris and a blended white, cleverly named Woven White ($16), about which we'd heard good things as well as a dessert wine called Bella (@$15 / 375ml). In the realm of red, in addition to the ubiquitous Pinot Noir, Seufert also bottles an Italian varietal, Dolcetto ($24), and a Columbia Valley Syrah ($24?). A particular treat on this visit was that the tasting room host poured a new wine, referred to at this point as "secret project" or something like that. This wine is set to replace Bella, for which the last vintage was last year. Not yet bottled, the "secret project" sample poured was as yet unfiltered. Served just slightly chilled, it was an apple blossom pink, slightly sweet wine blended from Pinot Noir and a white varietal. To a man and woman, all seven of us in the tasting room said "aaaahhhh" as we sipped. My husband and I are looking forward to going back in a few weeks, when this is released, to buy this wine...and to finding out what they named it! TASTING SET UP The tasting room host was an exuberant and entertaining guy who was knowledgeable about Seufert wines and he added to the warmth and fun of the tasting experience here. The tastes were a flight of mixed varietals, but heavy on the Pinot Noir bottlings on the day we visited. There were several guests in the little tasting room early on a Friday afternoon, some from California for whom this was a repeat visit to Seufert, and among us we encouraged the host to open a bottle of Dolcetto and Syrah so we could all taste before purchase. He was "outnumbered" and he was gracious about opening the sample bottles even though they weren't included in the plan for the flight that day. We visited so many wineries over the course of three days that I took notes, but my notes here don't reflect whether or not there was a tasting fee. If so, it was refunded with purchase because we walked out with charges for three bottles of wine we purchased and no extra fee for tasting. THIS N THAT 1) Accessibility: Level in from sidewalk, all on one floor, bathroom is also accessible. 2) Single Vineyard Pinot Flight with Food Pairing: Is available on Saturday (and maybe Sunday?) if you call ahead. 3) Culinary Items: Available for sale on a wall in the tasting room called "Culinary Corner" and include things produced from grapes like Ver Jus and specialty seasoned salt. read more

What a delightful hour we spent with Michelle. She is the wine maker and a delightful host as well. We chatted about wine, wine making, and a dozen other things. She went beyond the wines on the tasting list as we talked about the kinds of wines we enjoy. The tasting fee is $5 and is comped with a purchase. This is such a pleasant change from the over priced, underwhelming tasting experiences you'll find elsewhere. And the wines which Michelle makes are outstanding. Her commentary on each tasting was insightful and educational. Wines are reasonably priced. Don't leave without a few bottles. You will be enjoying the bottles later and supporting a superb small winery that is doing so many things right. read more

Seufert Winery - Winemaker Michelle - Wineries Near Me - Dayton, Oregon

We stopped by tasting room after shopping at the shop next door. Due to special event- Shop Hop, we received a free tasting. Hate to admit it, I am not a wine drinker til now... they had me taste their Riesling... and I am hooked! I even bought a cool necklace from Nasci Designs! Gotta say- it was a great afternoon! read more

Seufert Winery is one of Oregon's Top Indie Pinot Noir winemakers!! My friend and I decided we wanted to do a drive through the wine country and we landed upon Seufert Winery. Its such an unassumed facility that we almost missed it! Don't let the industrial facade fool you, this place can match any Pinot Noir in the market! We walk inside the place and its not your typical chateau or Vineyard because it does not have one. The owner buys his grape from several high end growers/vineyards to give his clients/customers high value wines for a fraction of its cost! They have tours of their facility, including a view of their wine making process. Samples of their wines are available and they even have a wine club where they provide shipment twice a month at 20% off. The staff there are very attentive and knowledgable about their wine and their wine making process. I was really impressed by the attentativeness and their generous sample portions! I really love the fact that i can buy Pinot Noir wine that taste like its worth $$$, but at a very reasonable price. Since my friend and i bought so many the owner convinced us to buy a case at a great steal! read more

We just moved to the area and love this place. Great people and very good wine. It is also nice that a wonderful Italian restaurant is nearby. Having good wine followed by a nice dinner is very nice. read more

Absolutely incredible. Not only amazing wine but amazing service and staff. They are involved in the community and wine Industry from wine making to serving. This business is exemplary about how a business should be run in a world that wants to celebrate every single person. I felt incredibly safe in this space and Michelle is not only knowledgeable but kind. I not only look forward to my next visit, but will be telling everyone in the community to visit this establishment. I am a fan and a avid supporter of this business and community this establishment has created. Please please please visit this business for a great glass of wine and conversation. Thank you all for everything you've done for me and the community :) read more

Beautiful Pinots especially the 2007 Vista Hills. I was surprised by the facilities unremarkable exterior and interior. It's not your typical winery experience and greatly lacks the ambiance that would help bring more visitors. Luckily I wasn't there for the ambiance, just great wines! read more

Cheers to Oregon Vino! We had the opportunity to taste Seufert wines at The Bite of Oregon over the weekend and couldn't resist taking home a bottle of the Best Pinot and Best of Show "Johan Vineyard" Pinot Noir. This is an incredibly balanced wine with emphasis on the grape and low tannins. Highly recommend you find a bottle! We were so impressed we joined the wine club. After you taste, I'm sure you will be as well. This winery can hang with any in the Napa Valley. read more

A wonderful little gem. The knowledgeable and extremely kind person pouring the wines, I believe her name was Sarah, turned us onto a delightful assortment of locally produced varietals. Will definitely be sure to sop in again on our next visit to the area. read more

Still love my local winemaker's wine - great earthy, complex pinot noir. Now, with beautiful new digs at 303 Main Street in a new gorgeous commercial development called Francis Court. Perfect place to curl up by the fireplace and do your tasting, or sip & sprawl in the comfy outdoor chairs in the courtyard & people watch, view the historic fort in the town green across the street, and snack on their charcuterie plates - these guys know their foodie snacks! highly recommended. read more

Outstanding wine! My wife and I tasted Stoller, which, granted, had more picturesque grounds for tasting. However, the Seufert wine selection surpassed all of the other wines we tasted. Odd location, but worth the wines!! read more

These Pinots are high on the alcohol and pretty acidic, and not very "Pinot like" - maybe taste more like California Pinots. The Syrah: Flying Figurehead was drinkable and had a beautiful color but I'm not running out to buy more. The "Pinot-Licious" is really cheap $12 but it taste pretty cheap too (taste like the label looks). See my other many wine reviews!!!!!!!!!!! read more

Having been impressed with Seufert's Pinot Noirs at the 2012 Bite of Oregon where they won a Best Of Show, we visited this intimatel, family run winery in Dayton over Thanksgiving weekend. We liked it so much we returned this weekend when my sister visited from Boston and even joined their wine club (the first we have joined in 7 years of visiting Willamette Valley wineries). Seufert's Pinots are beautiful, elegant, and long finishing. Last night we brought a bottle of their '09 Zenith to a tasting party with some very sophiticated palettes, more so than mine. It was an enthusiastic hit of the party. I think Seufert's wines offer high value; they typically taste like they should cost more - even their budget Cuvee. read more

What a great find! Great tasting wines, extremely pleasant server and we loved that we were able to sit back and relax in their tasting room and enjoy a picnic of snacks while we were tasting. Everyone in my group of 8 purchased 1-3 bottles. I think it was not just because of how the wine tasted, but how welcomed we felt too. read more

Michelle and her staff are wonderful. They are eager to teach you what they know, and make you feel like a genuine friend. Not stuffy like some of the other wineries close by. I love the local art that they display ( and sell), the cozy fire and seating, inviting you in to sit and gather with friends. Chat, or play a game. The wine is damn excellent too! read more

I liked the place. Very small tasting room but very nice staff. We liked their wines especially for the price. The biggest thing they have is the wine club. When you average out the price per bottle they are cheaper than Naked and just as good if not better. They were bottling when we were there so a little noisy but cool to watch. read more

Capped off a great day wine touring at Seufert this past weekend. Their tasting room is gem among so many great ones in the area. Laid back, warm, and welcoming to our group. We spent an hour working through their diverse and unique wines, all of which are superbly done and food approachable, and another hour chatting wine with one of the owners. Such a great experience. The Pinots are the stars of the lineup at Suefert, some of my favorites in the area, but its also fun to explore the rest of their wines. The owners are chefs, so each offering has a story, and some food related intent behind it, which makes tasting them so much more interesting. If you are near Dayton during your next wine tasting trip, you owe it to yourself to stop in at Suefert. You'll be glad you did. read more

Paula was amazingly friendly for our group of 5 women. The wines are good quality. Do the food and wine pairing if you have the time. Though small and unassuming, it is well worth the stop! read more

We love this place! Stopped by while visiting the town, the owner was so polite and we felt very welcomed. The atmosphere and good vibes here can't be beat. The wine is delicious! And $5 tasting?! Highly recommend this place, I want to come back already! read more

The tasting room and wines are great...However, I joined the wine club and never received my wine. They charged me $142.95 but it has been over a month (37 days) since they promised shipment and my wine never arrived. I contacted them several times and they promised that my wine would be shipped, the last time claiming that they would send my wine the next day and upgrade my order to two day shipping, that was 20 days ago. In the mean time wine orders from other Oregon wineries arrived, no problem. I cancelled my wine club membership. Consumer beware if you join their wine club! read more

Absolutely amazing, as always! Michelle is always the perfect hostess and samples amazing wines (especially the Pinots and Tempranillo). The Seufert team always goes all out to please their customers! Beautiful wines, beautiful tasting room, and definitely amazing staff, willing to go the extra mile to please! This is a must visit tasting room! Cheers! read more

Ducked in here looking for wine skins and wanting to try some wine. Door locked with sign that said "Harvest. Call (and gave number) as we'd love to pour you some wine. As we walked away I saw someone coming our way. They unlocked the door and we went on in. He asked if we wanted some wine and I said yes but wanted some wine skins and he pointed me to them. Short story long bought two bottles of Pinot Gris and two of their ice wine. And two wine skins for the vodka from bend distillery. So I'm set with alcohol and great memories and kind people from Dayton Oregon! Pinot Gris is amazing! read more

Seufert is definitely must try!!! They are an amazing winery with amazing and friendly service as well as one of the top independent Pinot noir makers in the Oregon area. Their Pinot Noir has a distinctive flavor that even after a full day of tasting my husband and I still came back and bought a few bottles. Really incredible. Make sure you drop in here before you go anywhere else. You will come back to them for sure! read more
