We have visited Abacela a total of 4 times. For us Abacela is without question the only must-see…read morewinery when we are in the Roseburg area. A 5 star experience everytime. During our first three visits we did a regular tasting while sitting under a vine-covered trellis with vineyards on three sides. Hailey of the tasting room took exceptional care of us during our 2024 and 2025 visits. 2026 Aug REVIEW: As in the previous two years (2024 / 2025) during our WA/OR wine road trips, we visited Abacela in August. This time three of us did a VINEYARD TOUR hosted by the CEO, Greg Jones. Exceeded expectations. SERVICE and AMBIANCE: 5.0. Every person we encountered was a pleasure: as with our previous three visits, we felt valued as customers. During the tour of the vineyards with Greg we learned much, including about the vines in both American and European vineyards, the varietals nurtured by Abacela, how Greg and his father had chosen the site for Abacela, and more. At each stop Greg poured us a wine to taste. A special treat was viewing the vines of Listan Prieto that Greg's father found on the property; these vines are thought to have been planted by the original homesteaders. This variety was carried into California with Spanish Catholic missionaires in order to grow grapes for creating wine for religious services. Abacela now produces "Angelica" wine from this varietal. After our drive through the vineyards we viewed the wine-making and wine-storage areas; from there we walked through a subterranean corridor to our starting point: Abacela's attractive tasting room. There, on the outside patio, Joe served us a generous cheese/charcuterie/etc plate with a flight of reserve wines. A MEMORABLE EXPERIENCE. During our 2025 visit my wife and I brought a wine expert from Japan on our WA/OR wine road trip. She enjoyed the wines and the atmosphere at Abacela, as well as the short outside trail with signs that describe the terroir of Abacela's various vineyards. She found Abacela to be a place that those with a special interest in wine would enjoy. WINE: 4.5. Abacela focuses on Iberian (Spanish and Portugeuse) varietals. As during our previous visits, we enjoyed the wines and bought a few bottles to take home with us.

The tasting room has a front area for visitors and a back area for bigger events. They also have chairs outside for a relaxed afternoon sipping wine. We did a tasting. I did like some of the wines, though, many would be better with a bit of age. Boco Noir, Traldigo and Cabernet were good. My favorite was a Riesling. It was mellow with a bit of sweetness that was perfect for summer. I definitely recommend trying Giardet Vineyards. It's a smaller, more friendly and laid back place to do a tasting to find what you like and buy a couple bottles and enjoy an afternoon with friends. It's a bit out of the way but I like it that way.

They have an extensive wine list; so my husband and I each did a tasting of 6 ($10), and then ordered the smoked salmon plate ($25). We then took a seat out on the terrace overlooking the beautiful winery and vineyard. Not long after we were seated, we were served our wine flights and salmon plate. Let me first say that the smoked salmon plate was beautifully presented and very delicious. The salmon was tender and moist, accompanied with cream cheese and a wonderful pepper jelly. Oh, so good. My wine flight was mostly whites. My favorite tastes were the sauvignon blanc (not a typical suave blanc, less acidic with a smooth finish); the chardonnay, and the rose. But I enjoyed all the wines I tasted. Also note that they have a small gift shop with some very cute items. I'm so very glad we came here. Great staff, great views, great food and great wine. We will definitely be back again next time we are in the area.

Hillcrest Winery was an incredible experience from start to finish…read more The setting alone is beautiful, the kind of place where you immediately slow down and just enjoy being there. The wines were excellent, especially Le Pig and the 2012 Poboleda, both stood out and made the tasting feel special. What really made the visit memorable, though, was the people. Hannah, the daughter of the owners, was knowledgeable, engaging, and genuinely fun to talk to. You can tell there's real passion behind what they're doing. What started as a great tasting unfortunately turned into car trouble for us, but that's where Hillcrest truly went above and beyond. The team jumped in right away to help, and Tucker as well as Susan in particular was incredibly kind and supportive. They made sure we were taken care of, offered us espresso, and even made sure our dog was comfortable with treats and attention. That level of hospitality is rare. It wasn't just about great wine, it was about genuine care and kindness that left a lasting impression. Thank you again to the whole team at Hillcrest. We won't forget it.

Perhaps our tastes have evolved, because the wines were not as good as we remembered. (One Hillcrest wine we adore is their Chenin Blanc, but it was not available when we visited). SERVICE: 3.5. No issues. AMBIANCE: 4.0. No reservations. No seats: tastings are done at a bar -- which worked well. Simple.
