    THE BIG: Beautiful winery located in Newberg inside the Dundee Hills of Willamette Valley. Lots of vineyards and a nice spacious indoor/outdoor tasting room area. Plenty of parking in the lot. THE BLACK AND WHITE: The wife and I came here super early (~10am) to see if we could grab a tasting. We didn't have a reservation but when we came, the place was packed. Apparently there was a reservation at opening and we weren't able to get a tasting because the pourers were helping that large group. I instead ordered a glass of the reisling which was a nice off dry wine and had a nose of gasoline. It was a nice start of the day of wine drinking. THE FINAL BAMBOO: Ultimately I only spent around $15 for a glass of Reisling, and it was delicious! I definitely want to come back and try a full tasting whenever I'm back in Willamette.

    We had high expectations for Alexana and everything was better than we could have hoped for! We had a 10am reservation and got there a bit early so we took a walk around the property-we got a peek at their bottling/labeling process and it was so cool! We were hosted by Michael and after sitting with him for two hours I know SO MUCH about Alexana's wines, grapes, orchards, soil and the bottling process (he took us down to see it up close, along with a visit to see grapes) We also chatted with Drew, who is the Director of Vinoculture, and learned more from him! Bottom line is that Alexana is great and we'd absolutely go back! We had two tastings and bought four bottles; the view and the tasting areas are beautiful. Highly recommend!

    This was such a pleasant and memorable stop during my trip. Getting to taste wines grown right on the property, hear about the winemaking process firsthand, and compare vintages of the same wine was a real treat. The setting? Absolutely stunning. Sweeping views, gorgeous landscaping, and a modern, elegant design that makes you want to linger. It's the kind of place that instantly makes you feel like you're on vacation, even if you're just passing through. I ended up purchasing a few bottles to be shipped home so I can share the experience with family and friends -- and to relive a bit of that beauty once I'm back on the other coast. If you're in the area, this place is well worth a visit. Great wines, warm hospitality, and a setting that's hard to beat.

    This was by far the best winery we've been to. It was absolutely beautiful, gorgeous views and even better atmosphere. Michael was just amazing. He was super informative, very engaging and even took us to see the pigs which was the highlight of our visit! I'm not a wine person, but ended up purchasing some because it was just that good. Highly recommend!!

    Beautiful place to celebrate a 40th birthday with friends. Our host was amazing and gave excellent customer service.

    Michael was incredible! Best winery and best experience by far!! He gave us so much info on the wines and took us down to see the pigs. It was a great time!

    The moment you drive through the vineyard you see the gorgeous views. The tasting room is beautiful, the views from inside are magnificent. The wine tasting experience was fantastic. The wines were such a delight. Alexana was my favorite winery in Willamette Valley. Joining the wine club was definitely worth it, so glad we did! We look forward to many wines coming in the mail to NC!

    Tasting fee: $25 per person (waived with 2 bottle purchase or membership sign-up) Service: Extremely knowledgeable staff and attentive for one of the busier tasting rooms we visited. Best Menu Item: 2013 Alexana Signature Pinot Noir & "off the menu" Malbec from their Argentina property.

    We had a good wine tasting at Rain Dance Vineyards in Newburg, Oregon. Rain Dance was one of a few…read morewineries that we selected for our Willamette Valley wine tour (Oregon Wine Country). The staff was polite, welcoming, and friendly and the atmosphere was relaxing. The experience was like going into a nice home, next to a vineyard, for wine and cheese. Lovely atmosphere. Our group of eight had a Saturday afternoon reservation. We arrived and were seated before 12:30pm and left by around 1:45pm. This did not appear to be a big operation. During our visit, I saw only two lady employees tending to all the customers. Rain Dance has indoor and outdoor seating. We were seated inside. Regardless of where you sit, there are good views of the property's vineyard and garden. It's beautiful and serene. Shortly after our tasting began, a bachelorette party left. Therefore, we had the inside all to ourselves save for a couple seated by the window. The weather was pleasant so several doors to the house were left open, creating a calm, gentle breeze. We had the wines listed below. Individual bottle prices are from the time of our tasting and descriptions are from Rain Dance's website at the time of writing this review ( https://raindancevineyards.com/shop/ ). * 2022 Grand Oak Vineyard Riesling. $32 for 750-mL bottle. "Classic aromas and flavors of stone fruit and tropical flowers are lifted by vibrant acidity on the palate. This drier-style Riesling allows for so much versatility at the dinner table, but fish dishes are our favorites." * 2023 Grand Oak Gewurztraminer. $32 for 750-mL bottle. "A Rain Dance favorite! Gewurztraminer is a rare find in Oregon, especially in such a dry style. Its lively notes of jasmine, peach and spice box are perfect for Asian and Indian dishes loaded with their own exotic spices." * 2022 Estate Pinot Noir Cuvee. $45 for 750-mL bottle. "Fresh notes of cherries, pomegranate, plums, black pepper, pipe tobacco, and cinnamon." * 2021 Grand Oak Vineyard Pinot Noir. $60 for 750-mL bottle. "Bright and fresh with a complex assortment of dark cherries, raspberries, cranberries, intermingled with thyme, sage, and cinnamon." Since the time of our visit, I think the 2022 Grand Oak Vineyard Riesling and the 2021 Grand Oak Vineyard Pinot Noir have been replaced by 2023 and 2022 vintages, respectively. We also had at least two charcuterie boards ($35 each) that included crackers, roasted hazelnuts, onion jam, pork rillettes, raisins, and three kinds of cheese. The total cost for our group for everything was $336, which worked out to $42 per person. While I've been to a lot of wineries/vineyards and done a lot of wine tastings (just search my reviews), I'm still by no means a wine connoisseur. All I can say about Rain Dance is I thought all of the wines were enjoyable. All four, from the riesling to the pinot noirs, were delectable. They smelled and tasted well made and high quality. In short, I enjoyed our visit to Rain Dance and thought it was worth the visit. Rain Dance Vineyards is named after owners and founders Celia and Ken Austin's Rain Dance Ranch. The ranch was established in 1991 and the vineyard was established in 2009.

    Oliver Springs Vineyard was our favorite stop on our small wine tour through Willamette Valley,…read morea.k.a. Oregon Wine Country. Husband and wife founders and owners Jim and Stephanie Houchins are nothing short of fantastic. The wines we tasted were excellent. After meeting Jim and Stephanie, I could really see the passion they had for wine and their vineyard. Oliver Springs is truly a labor of love for them. According to their website ( https://oliverspringsvineyard.com/ ), their first vintage year was 2016 and they "are currently producing approximately 300 cases a year, making [them] a micro-boutique winery." Our tasting consisted of the following wines: * 2021 Chardonnay * 2019 Estate Pinot Noir * 2021 Estate Pinot Noir * 2019 Kieta's Block Pinot Noir * 2019 Sasha's Block Pinot Noir The tasting, regularly $25 per person, included a sheet with tasting notes. Stephanie conducted the tasting and Jim assisted. Jim also took us on an educational and informative tour of the vineyard. Oliver Springs has multiple grape clones, which are cut and grafted from the same mother vines. I'm no wine expert/connoisseur, but I believe the general thought is clones produce more consistent, higher-quality wines. The Kieta and Sasha Block Pinot Noirs were named after two of Jim and Stephanie's huskies. A third husky, Mosey (Mozzie? I'm not sure how to spell it.), joined us for our tasting and vineyard tour, which added to the experience. :) Oliver Springs is a small operation. I believe the vineyard is only about 3.5 acres. I know it's not Stephanie's full-time job and I guess probably not for Jim either. They're open on weekends by appointment only. Our group of eight visited on a Saturday morning around 10:30am. We left shortly after 12:00pm. They have a relatively small, simple, clean, and modern building with a tasting room inside. Unlike many other wineries, this one provides an intimate, get-to-know-the-owners type wine-tasting experience. Several of us ended up ordering wine afterwards. The wine cost anywhere from $42 to $50 per bottle. As is customary, they have wine clubs you can join as well. See my pictures or contact them for more info. If you're putting together a list of wineries to visit in Oregon, I highly recommend Oliver Springs Vineyard.
