    the exterior of the winery
    Elaina G.

    This is the ONLY place in the world where you can get REAL chocolate wine! I discovered this tiny, quaint, one man run winery a few years ago while on the Trolley tour in Astoria. The guide mentioned we should check it out so we stumbled in, kids and all. I immediately fell inlove with the place and the owner! After a quick tour, he led us through the tasting with so much knowledge and heart behind every story told of the wines. It was a one in a lifetime experience.I took home a Lemon Merenge wine, Peach wine, Cranberry wine and of course the Chocolate wine! I've been wanting to go back ever since! I told everyone; sisters, friends about this place and how if they ever go to Astoria they MUST go see the Shallon Winery! It's the only place in the WORLD where you can get wine like that and once the owner passes, the secrets and recipes will go with him. So they'd better hurry! When we booked our trip to Astoria this year I was SO nervous he wouldn't be there any longer and the winery shut down. You can imagine my relief to see that he was still there, alive and well! I was so happy to see him! I just wished we lived closer so we could visit more often. Talking with him and sharing stories is a priceless experience! I left buying wine for myself and a friend who begged me to buy her a bottle of the infamous Chocolate Wine! :)

    I call him Passionate Paul. He is the the lone wolf of the fruit, whey and chocolate wines and he makes it all himself within his small lab! First, he will take you on a swift tour of his setup, discuss the history of the wine and of the wondrous building itself. Second, he will literally show you through the room window, his 6x6, one-man lab then it is on to the wine tasting. You will sample approximately four or five different wines. I would say the most unique taste would be his chocolate orange wine that he pours into a small cake cone; upon first taste you will get a hint of chocolate liquor then when you bite into the cone, a blast of orange and more alcohol stings you. That taste reminded me of my childhood years when my mom would bring home that infamous yellow Whitman's sample assorted chocolate box. The dark chocolate orange creme chew comes to mind. Nice stop going into Oregon...

Shade can be hard to find, but the staff told me to feel free to grab an Adirondack chair and position it wherever I wanted to, which was appreciated. The staff is extremely friendly, enthusiastic, and helpful. While it may seem weird for a non-alcohol drinker to visit a winery, I've been told at other wineries that it's quite common, and other wineries offer a fair selection of non-alcoholic beverages for such patrons. Bateaux only offers water, so anybody hoping for kombucha, iced tea, sodas, etc. is out of luck. Their food menu consists of two pizzas: Margherita, and pepperoni. They're wood-fired, and the dough is made in-house. The pizzas are competent, but they're on the pricy side, and are nothing noteworthy. Service is fast, and there is table service, even if you're just sitting in an Adirondack chair that you randomly positioned in a spot of shade close to the stage. Be aware that Bateaux is completely hidden from view from its street entrance, and that there is a longer-than-expected drive on a single-lane dirt road to get from the street to the winery. Although I didn't encounter any traffic trying to leave when I was entering, eluding oncoming traffic would have been tricky.

The parking lot is much kinder than many other vineyards. I did not really see specific ADA spots which were likely full but the parking lot is small and easy to navigate with a short stroll to the tasting room. We got there later than I wanted but we were not the last and were able to tuck in seats in the back which is perfect. I was a bit surprised that they didn't have water at the tables for everyone and the menu was very small with two different paninis - a caprese and an Italian meat one.... we got one of each and then split them.Which was pretty perfect and both were really good! Their regular menu is much different and I look forward to trying it when I visit for a regular wine tasting. We started with a glass of the Rose Bubbles. It was perfect for a late summer afternoon. We drank a bottle of the Moscato Frizzante, a definite favorite. We are both hummingbirds, is in love with sweet wines. Sometimes the sweet almost assaulting on the palate. I was completely amazed at how smooth, soft yet supple that wine is! We asked to try their blends with sangiovese which they have 2. I was attending with my friends mom. My friend passed away recently and was married here so she wanted to get bottles of her favorite wines. There were 2 people working and he just set the tasting wines down (which were tiny samples in tiny wine carafes), mumbled what they were without pointing which was which and practically ran. Since we were actually drinking wine, our glasses were full so we had to drink from the carafe, which felt a bit tacky plus they are reds we were trying to actually taste... I realize drag Bingo is also happening but a tasting glass to give some aeration to the two wines is helpful. It was such a wonderful way to spend the afternoon. The few annoyances we had, I imagine were likely from them having to navigate a larger group. It is so nice having a place like this so close! I also have to express that the inclusive events make me more anxious to support them with my business.

My friend and I came here to shop, try some wine and get lunch and we did all three! Firstly, the gift shop is superb and right when you enter. It has a ton of different dips, mixes, olive oils, treats and things for dogs, and gadgets! To the right of the sho is the tasting room with a huge bar in the center where you can do your wine and spirit tastings! My friend bought a bottle of their wine after we tried some and the customer service and town locals were chatting away and engaging in conversation, they were so friendly and helpful. To the left, you are greeted at the hostess stand along with their amazing bakery items which you should note are DEFINITELY worth the money. IYKYK. We got seated quickly and were given a choice on where. We chose the back room close to the electric fireplaces. Our waiter greeted us promptly and his name is Bob I cannot say enough wonderful things about this man who owned 3 steakhouses in Seattle! He was kind, he was quick witted, he was informative when it came to how the wine flights worked and the food. He kept up with us ordering appetizers, drinks and even more food! For our appetizers we got the beach bread and mermaids on horseback which were bacon wrapped shrimp with a pineapple sauce (YUM) I got the Shrimp Pesto Ravioli and my friend got the Farmers Favorite which is a French dip with house made potato salad. Everything was super fresh, hot and delicious! We can't way to come back and try more!

I like the mini museum within the area because it provided history lessons from different parts of the world and various cultures. I did not realize that mermaid history runs that deep! I like that there was a staff member to give handouts on what to check out at this venue, too, right before you go to park in the lot because it made you look forward to your time spent here. Parking was not bad when I went on the weekend, too...and it was free! I will say that it was overpriced with the food as I spent $36 on coleslaw and fried halibut. They have huckleberry goodies available here, but nothing with chocolate, unfortunately... the winery was neat to check out, too, and there is a bar that you could stop by to try the specialty wines. I did not try it out, but it was pretty of sight when I strolled around there. The vineyard was small, yes, but I like that there were benches to sit on and multiple paths to walk around that ultimately led to an abundance of artistic pieces from the local community in Aberdeen. I thought that the horse , or unicorn !!!, stable was available as a mini petting zoo because the kids were most excited about that. Couple of vendors here, but they lacked enthusiasm... nonetheless, glad that I came here to see what this festival was about because I was recommended to check it out when I researched online about things to do in Washington state
