The woman who helped us even brought out dog cookies and a bowl of water for the pup. I'm more of a fan of sweeter wines and even though they don't offer super fruity, sweet wines, the ones I tasted were really light and easy to drink. The area is known for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay so you'll find a lot of those on this area.

This is one of my favorite wineries in Oregon. It's only been open a few years, but has already…read moremade a significant mark to the wine community. They have amazing charcuterie and Mezza plates that are really fresh and delicious. The cheese, dips, and chocolate are so divine. The food is fantastic - so even if you don't drink wine or are cutting back, I still highly recommend this winery for food too. Most of the food is either locally sourced or is a higher quality product like the gourmet chocolates.The wine selection is varied, however, it's still good wine. My favorite is the sparkling. You feel like home when you visit. I've been here twice. The first time last year was extremely magical with fabulous service and a beautiful journey. Our second time (in 2026) service was a bit slow and our server seemed a bit put off and tired. However, by the end of our stay she warmed up and we felt more connected and comfortable. I really thought I wrote a review for this place before, but I just don't see it on here. I definitely recommend this place. 5 stars, cheers and sip! Epic patio views that are dog friendly abound here or you can get cozy by the fireplace inside. They host neighborhood events to support charities too. The weekend after our visit, they were planning a "pups and pinot" - meet and greet with neighboring dogs from a close animal shelter. I really wish this place was closer to Portland - Salem peeps got Lucky by having this open near their city off the beaten path. Definitely put this winery on your radar! Such a beautiful summertime favorite.

Country Mouse vs. City Mouse…read more One of the hallmarks of a great relationship is knowing your partner almost better than you know yourself. You can predict what they'll order off a menu, things that make your love go off the reservation and most importantly the little things that make them happy. You also get to indulge in a fair amount of gentle teasing and mockery. My husband is Mr. Outdoorsman and I'm more of a city girl. So when we have those open ended conversations about our 'dream home' he tends to visualize a large plot of land in the country and I'm leaning towards a condo in the city. As we were driving through the picturesque wine country, part of me was enjoying the view, but the other part was afraid he was going to start pulling house flyers. It is beautiful, but I need lots of people, restaurants, museums and close proximity to an airport. I was introduced to the pinot noirs of this small vineyard almost ten years ago and it was love at first sip. They are not mass produced or marketed, so I will go months without seeing their label in restaurants or grocery stores. They are 100% estate bottled, so all grapes come from their 51 acres. After meeting the owner at the Bite of Portland this summer, visiting their vineyard went to the top of my wine country wish list. But first we visited St. Innocent just up the road. Imagine a modern French chateau with chandeliers and million dollar views with a tasting room that has probably appeared on the pages of Sunset Magazine. Then we visited Witness Tree, and I mean no disrespect, but the tasting room looks like a converted double-wide. My husband started tittering as we drove up. He loves to tease me about living in a trailer out in the middle of nowhere. This place is the perfect example of putting all your love and resources into the product rather than being overly concerned about appearances. The tasting room is perfectly fine, but the staff is amazing. Of all the wineries we visited, this was by far the best experience. It didn't feel like a rote explanation as she introduced each wine in the flight. The wine is stellar and so we left with several bottles and membership to their wine club. And the property is beautiful so I just might have to reconsider the whole city/condo thing. Score one for the country mouse.

I will let the other reviewers do their spin on the wines, since I am just an observer. But Mr. B was quite impressed with the Hanson wine. They have a dessert wine called Sweet Signe. A light pink, it is deliciously different and not that sweet. Even I tried that one and was pleased. All their wines are estate grown.

From the moment we walked in the staff greeted us with the type of welcoming spirit that made us feel like old friends. We got their 5 wine tasting that included a pinot gris, 3 pinot noir's and ending with a chardonnay. Each wine was as beautiful as the view from their outdoor patio looking out to Mount Jefferson. If you're looking for a winery that truly encapsulates what it's like to be in Oregon, look no further.

There is no deal I need or anything I need bad enough. That said this seemed like a great alternative. Their tasting is $8 this includes 5 wines to taste and they also brought us a little plate of olives, crackers and almonds. We purchased one wine which waive one of our tasting fees. I have to say I really loved all their wines. When you walk in their tasting area may seem a little primitive and not as fancy as some you see in places in the McMinnville AVA, however, the service was great and friendly. The server indicated that had just recently been bought out by Union wines which produces Underwood wine and is based out of Tualatin. This must have been a real recent purchase as neither of their websites reflect that. All in all a good solid group of reds and whites. Stop by and give them a try. I know I'll be back again.
