I discovered this winery after seeing a lot of their wines on the wine list of some of the fancier restaurants in PDX. After my visit, I'm also now a big fan of Chehalem. We tried their Pinot Gris, Riesling, and Ian's Reserve Chardonnay. All were good. Of the pinot noirs, we tried the Ridge Crest, Three Vineyards, Stoller and Corral Creek. All were amazing as well. Overall, this was a great tasting experience that I highly recommend. read more

KayLee is awesome. Wines are great and the venue is perfect for wine tasting. Thoroughly enjoyed the pinots and learning more about the wine region. read more

Some great wines with really friendly service. They have a nice selection of wines at good price points. The staff was very knowledgable, engaging, and down to earth. They really made the experience very enjoyable. I think Alex served us. She was relatively young, but knew a lot about wines and gave us great recommendations for other wineries to visit. If you're looking for the vineyard views with nice tables and couches to linger and savor your wine, this is not the place. If you want to try some solid wines and hear from some very friendly knowledgable staff, check it out. The tasting room is conveniently located off the main road. There are some great wineries in and around Newburg, OR. If you're coming from Napa and Sonoma, the experience is very different. The wines in Oregon are solid (mainly pinots), but wine country is not as built out. The wineries are spread out and the towns are not as quaint as Napa and Sonoma. The towns do not cater to tourists as much. You will not find world-class restaurants, cute shops, and fancy bakeries. Newburg is less than hour from Portland so you can do your dining and shopping there. Portland does have some great restaurants and shopping and it will be a lot cheaper than the Bay Area. read more

Visited Newberg with our son (College Visit); my wife and I decided to go and do some tasting during some down time. What a Chic spot we found! Enjoyed our experience; the wine is Amazing. Purchased several bottles and the staff helped us prepare our box for airport travel back to LA. Your customer service and expertise is second to none! Thank you. read more

I loved the Pinot's and the whites here! Some of the better Pinot's i tasted on our Northwest wine tour. Please call ahead and make an appointment though. Wine tasting was cool as we just sat around a metallic table, listened to some trippy music, and got crunken... read more

The staff here were incredibly friendly and felt genuine in their questions about my husband and me. However, I'm so used to tasting wine at wineries or tasting rooms off the main drag that it was tough to really get into the vibe with a busy road right out in front. Wines were tasty. Particularly a chardonnay, and I generally dislike chardonnays. This one was done differently. Very clean without all that oakiness. Would I come back again? Probably wouldn't go out of my way but if some friends wanted to go I would oblige happily. read more

Great wines, great food, nice tasting room, and great knowledgeable help from Bob!

I've done a lot of tasting in the Dundee, Yamhill-Carlton, N. Willamette Valley area, but somehow never made it to Chehalem. This trip, just yesterday as I write this, was to experience new places. My friend and I got to Chehalem just at opening on a cold, snowy/rainy saturday morning. We were the only guests so we had the undivided attention of Margaret the winery's direct sales manager. We were greeted by the tasting room's two beautiful dogs as well :) The tasting room is located in the heart of Newberg, very conveniently located just off 99. With the large sign (see photos here) it is hard to miss. The interior is spacious yet intimate and done in what I am calling that sort of 'Portland retro/loft modern' style. We liked it. The wines are delicious. Sure I could say they were superb which would be true but pretty much I drink wine because it tastes good, sooo.. It has taken me five years to appreciate Pinot Noir. I will definitely be adding several of the Chehalem vintages to my small list of favorites. Margaret was incredibly knowledgeable about Chehalem wines, and, gave some great recommendations for other non-pinot reds. She was enthusiastic, welcoming, and engaging. Both of us thought she was a great representative of the winery, and, we will be happy to return to Chehalem to chat with her again. I especially liked the 2008 Stoller, and, a surprise taste of their Riesling. Oh, and get that recommendation for the Taco truck around the corner because that place rocks. Who knew that pinot was good with spicy pork tacos? It is! ;) read more

Scott was extremely helpful, and so very much fun, as was the rest of the crew! The wine is delicious and the tasting was a bunch of fun. I walked away with two bottles of wine and am considering one of their subscriptions read more

Friday's are great for live music. Their tastings paired with the cheeseboard are perfect!

Great place to stop for wine tasting. Loved the Chehalem Pinots. I agree with other reviewers that it does appear a bit dumpy outside, but definitely worth the stop in. read more

It is such a nice setting. Michelle took really good care of us. They have unique wines here.

We love it here. Scott Was our Server and absolutely amazing. Joined the wine club and can't wait to Come back. I'm not usually into white wine but wow! Everything is delicious. I will bring all of my friends and Family here. Ps- so excited that we bought a bottle of the Rose to take home. And PPS- can I just say the 2012 Pinot Noir? No words to describe how happy my taste buds are right now. read more

Fantastic wine experience! Chehalem is my "go to" winery when I have company in town. Although there are many pretty vineyards and tasting rooms to choose from, I find that Chehalem is charming, with superior service, and excellent high-quality wines. You don't get the "pretentious" vibe like you do at other wineries. Our sommelier Bob, assisted by Eileen, was excellent! They answered all of our questions, and were warm and friendly throughout the entire experience. So knowledgeable! Everybody had a good time, and we ended up taking home 3 bottles! (On a side note: The $20 tasting fee is waived with the purchase of a single bottle. Also, 6 wines are included in the house flight.) Although the rosé and the pinot noir are excellent choices, my favorite is still the pinot blanc.) Kudos to Chehalem! read more

Love this tasting room, wine and the staff. Beautiful space with gorgeous natural light. Sunni is always very knowledgeable about the wine recommendations and has me hooked on the rose! It's a summertime staple at our house! read more

The staff was very friendly. We had a coupon from Yelp so we were able to get two tastings for the price of one. Otherwise a 6 taste flight is $15. Overall a great deal and good experience. read more

Plan ahead, spend a few bucks and book a seated tasting at the actual winery down the road. We visited 10 or so wineries during on our recent trip, and it was our favorite one, hands down! read more

Nice winery not out of control cost wise. Plus if you want a glass instead of flight.. go for that.

Had a nice time chatting with the staff and found a nice Riesling for my sister and a Rose that I for once enjoyed. I may take the Hubs there to taste, beautiful tasting room. read more

Amazing venue for music and events, plus their chardonnay and rosé are go-to picks and I usually don't even like those wines. Kristy and Sunni are always happy to see you on busy Friday nights, and they know everything about what to do in the area. It's also a plus that there's plenty of restaurants and other tasting rooms within walking distance. read more

So I would like to start by saying this is my first ever yelp review. I have been to many amazing places throughout the world but I felt compelled to post. My husband and I were only in Portland a few days and didn't make any plans. We landed in Portland and I immediately was doing research on the best tasting rooms and vineyards in the area. I called to make a reservation for a library tour and tasting...but unfortunately I was told by Dave the director that he schedule was full. However, he told me to stop by the tasting room and then head on over to the vineyard to have a glass of rose and chit chat. 1. The tasting room was so adorable 2. Michelle was not only knowledgeable but so sweet and gave my husband and I an amazing amount of attention and I could tell she had a tremendous passion for wine 3. The wine is truly fantastic. 4. Dave!! I cannot thank him enough for showing us a small part of the vineyard. I learned so much about the grape itself. 5. Dave really made my husband and I feel special. He really accommodated is!!! Thank you read more

Chehalem is gorgeous and a great experience every time! Sunni is knowledgable and recommended I try the rose. I absolutely loved it, its perfect for a hot summer day. Definitely put this tasting room on your list of places to check out! read more

This is such a cute and cozy space! Sunni was exceptionally knowledgeable about the wines and so pleasant to chat with. I recommend anyone visiting the area to stop in and enjoy a tasting. You won't be disappointed! read more

Definitely a must stop. Wine is delicious and has a couple lower priced options. Staff is friendly and very knowledgeable.

We had a private room here for my sister's bridal shower. It was exactly what I had hoped for! Great food and amazing wine. Sunni was very helpful the entire time we were there and knew so much about everything on the menu. She had wonderful suggestions on what to get, and the everything charcuterie plates she recommended were gone within minutes! I would definitely recommend this place for any event or just a fun day, it was perfect and had a great atmosphere. Also, there was a brick wall in the back that was really cute for photos! read more

While in Cannon Beach at Sweet Basil I had the opportunity to try several Chehalem wines (thank you Ted Newman). The next day we traveled to the Chehalem tasting room - what a wonderful surprise. The wines were excellent and Dave Rice was an excellent host. Highly recommended. Dave - if you're reading this thanks for the suggestions in Portland. We went to both of them - amazing. Cheers to Chehalem! read more

We squeezed in one more tasting on our way back to Hood River. It was at the end of the day and this tasting room was still fairly busy. The wines are pretty good. I enjoyed tasting all of them and purchased a couple of their bottle plus two of their growlers. That was a fun and different option. Their whites are really tasty. Will definitely visit them again next year. read more

You must make an appointment if you want to do a tasting. Their tasting is free - the only free one we've been to in our 2 day wine tasting tour. Jason was the one who did the tasting with us and had a table set up with glasses ready for our arrival. It was nice to be able to listen to him explain the wine and have the whole place to ourselves to enjoy. We tried 6 or 7, almost 1/2 white and 1/2 reds. We liked some of the wines, particular the pinot gris and reserve pinot noir so we got a few of each. You should check this winery out if you're in the area. read more

They guys here were very knowledgeable about their wine, friendly and engaging. They made it a very positive experience. Other than that, the wine itself was quite tasty. I would highly recommend stopping in for a taste if you are sipping wine through the willamette valley. read more

Nice folks, great food pairings, wine growlers available, and a great selections of pinots (love the cuvee) and some unusual varietals.

Very friendly staff. We went on the Saturday before Valentine's Day and they were quite busy, but everyone made time to speak to us about the wines, the vineyards, and the area. They had a nice variety of appetizers to munch on while trying the wines. My husband and I enjoyed all the wines and especially the Gamay Noir. read more

Such an awesome place to come hang out! The tasting room is fun and inviting, and the back room on the weekends is so fun! Love all the events and the great staff at this winery. read more

I went with a friend and we enjoyed ourselves immensely. Susan was our tasting guide and she was terrific! As is my custom, I fall in love with the items that are far too expensive for me to actually purchase, but it was nice to get a sample. The tasting room is unpretentious and I think a worthy spot in your tasting adventures. read more

Stopped here on a whim. We were in the area on a Monday and decided to try some wine since we were in wine country. This was one of the few places open. Wines were yummy. We participated in the $15 tasting and walked away with two lovely bottles of Pinot Noir and Riesling. Daniel led our tasting. He is super friendly with a great sense of humor. Wish we lived closer so we could visit regularly. read more

Visited this spot as my first wine tasting experience while at a bridal shower. Employees were really friendly and helpful. Made the experience a great deal of fun. read more

We went here on Valentines Day for their special "Bacon not chocolate" tasting and it was amazing. By far the best tasting of the day. We tried 5 wines, each with a unique bacon dish...the wine and the food was outstanding. Then to top it off, we had Dulce de leche Bacon ice cream, which was delicious. All this for $5 per person. Best wine, food, and deal of the day! read more

Wonderful, fun tasting room. So friendly. So yummy! Jodi is amazing and patient and helpful and knowledgeable. More whites than most, if you want to escape the Pinot Noirs, but the PNs are so varied and excellent, too! read more

Out of the 5 wineries I visited in the Williamette Valley, Chehalem was my favorite. High quality wines for reasonable prices.

Dishonest service duped us into paying Reserve Flight prices for Core Flight samplers. Decent wine was offset by a lackluster experience. Visit Artisan or August Cellars instead. read more

Their Sext wine is very nice and I would have bought some but I was informed that the $19 price on their price list was an error and the actual price was $24. They made no attempt to correct the error or offer the wine at the listed price. I decided to shop elsewhere. I have to wonder how many people were charged the higher price without being informed. read more
