She shared the history of the Riedel glassware company and explained how the shape of each of the four glasses changes the aroma and flavor of the same wine. It was fascinating to experience the difference firsthand. Ashley was knowledgeable, friendly, and incredibly patient with our group, even when we got a little chatty and wandered off topic. She made the experience enjoyable from start to finish. The charcuterie board was more than enough for the two of us, and every wine we sampled, from the bubbles to the Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and final bottle of Cabernet, was an excellent selection. This was something completely different from a typical wine tasting, and we really enjoyed it. I already have several friends in mind who I think would love this experience. I hope Willamette Valley Vineyards considers making the Riedel Glassware Experience a regular offering!

The free beer and samples were good and I don't drink beer normally but I did have the Lemonade one and it was very good. I did enjoy it.

I would do this again and highly recommend it if you are in Bend.

It was very fun to learn about their brewing process. When we arrived, we were allowed to choose a beer to take with us on the tour. As we walked through the facilities, there were a few stops where we could sample a few other beers as we traveled through. Our guide was informative and I learned some things about the brewing process from him. When we arrived back at The tasting room we were informed that there were several beers on tap that were not widely available other places. So this was the place to try the more exotic beers. We did try the rumpkin spice Stout. This was very spicy! I enjoyed my tour and The tasting room at Deschutes.

The mac and cheese, however, was a disappointment-the sauce was grainy and lacked cheese flavor.

That's fine, places get busy quickly on a Sunday morning. Ended up waiting nearly an hour. It happens and sometimes it's worth it for good food. Our waitress was kind but clearly needed more help. Took her 15 minutes to get to our table. I asked her to level with me: How long would our food really take, because we have two antsy kids. She says 20 minutes. That's quick! Okay, we order. 10 minutes later, they say sorry we are out of orange juice. We did not order orange juice. They say they do have chocolate milk, which we did order. Glass (like, adult glass) comes for my kid and the guy explains they are out of chocolate milk so they mixed cold milk with hot cocoa powder. Looks chunky. He apologizes and says he needs to go across the street to get orange juice and chocolate milk so we can wait if we want. We don't. We just want to eat and leave. I order iced coffee (on the menu), they only have canned cold brew. Not ideal but fine. Burger (something I could honestly make at home) comes with dry breakfast potatoes. The flattest pancakes I've ever seen, complete with black grease marks from the griddle. I appreciate that the patio was nice and there was a water bowl for our dog but there were so many rookie mistakes that it felt like a restaurant that just opened last week and we're working out kinks. I'm actually annoyed at the 5-star reviews because there's no way they are at the same place we did.

I started with a clam chowder, that had just the right consistency with beautiful chunks of perfectly cooked potato and clam. There is absolutely no grit or sand in my clams which was wonderful. I ordered the sirloin cooked medium which came with a baked potato and sautéed vegetables. Everything was cooked perfectly. The potato had a nice crispy exterior and soft pillowy inside and the vegetables were not overcooked. I do wish that they would've given a large portion for the vegetables, but I can understand them trying to keep the plates looking clean and nice. I'd say if there's one thing that was not good at this restaurant it was the complementary bread. The bread that came out had clearly been smashed down. I'm not sure if the bread came that way, or if maybe someone doesn't know how to cut bread in the kitchen. On top of that, the bread was very plain. For a fancy restaurant like this I expected something a little nicer, maybe even a sourdough. Just go ahead and skip the bread, it's not worth eating when you have so many better things to eat. All in all, I would totally return to this restaurant.

My wife had the soup & salad combo and she enjoyed the hardy soup with the flavor and the salad was a Caesar which was fresh and crispy and tasty. Our son in law enjoyed his tuna melt and Caesar salad very much and cleaned everything that was on his plate. Our daughter had the cheese fondue with bread chucks, but hardly touched it. We also shared the baked bread with virgin olive oil and balsamic vinaigrette which was very very good. Also we shared the vegetable platter with 2 different types of humus which also was very tasty and delicious. And we also shared the fried green tomatoes with a buffet type of sauce and it went really well.
