We loved our large group tasting at ArborBrook! Charles was very informative and educated us on all of their wines. The setting and structures are also beautiful. Amazing wines and fantastic staff. read more

Great wines generous pours and information about the Origens in a comfortable small vineyard setting. We had a great tome and came home with a few bottles of excellent pinot noir and a pinot gris read more

My partner and I have had a subscription for a year or two now and it's one of our favorites! The service there is great and we love all the pours. Our favorite is the 777 and the desert wine (make sure to pair it with blue cheese!) The tasting is a wonderful experience and date day. read more

ArborBrook Vineyards - Wineries Near Me - Newberg, Oregon

Our discovery of ArborBrook was through dual serendipity. First, the tasting room host at Four Graces highly recommended we stop by ArborBrook, since we planned a stop at next door neighbor Adelsheim. Then, when we got to Adelsheim about 4:00, that tasting room was already closed. So we used the recommendation and went to ArborBrook. We're glad we did that for a couple of reasons. Some have to do with the wine and some have to do with the fact that this is truly what "mom and pop" boutique wine making is all about. The Mom and Pop being Mary and Dave Hansen respectively. I'll share thoughts on both of those elements in this review. Then I'll mention something that was disappointing, although not unique to ArborBrook among small wineries in the Willamette Valley. THE TASTING SET UP: Tasting fee is $10 (refunded with a minimum purchase) and on this stormy Sunday afternoon, owner Dave Hansen was pouring four wines for that fee: a barrel aged Pinot Gris, two 2009 vintage Pinot Noir and a delectable 2007 sauterne styled late harvest Semillion called "Sydney". Named after his delightful daughter who was helping her dad out in the tasting room on the day of our visit. Dave and Sydney had cheese and crackers setting out on a table along with a vase of spring daffodills. A nice touch to make visitors feel welcome on a stormy Sunday. THE WINES: Dave uses a consulting wine maker to help produce ArborBrook wines, with Dave also in the vineyard to taste and make decisions. The Pinot Noir use estate grown grapes. Pinot Gris grapes are purchased from another Oregon vineyard. The Semillion grapes are purchased from Klipsun in Washington State. ArborBrook makes only about 2500 cases of wine each vintage year and has already sold out of 2008 Pinot Noir. The Robert Parker - Wine Spectator feature article on Oregon's 2008 Pinots has created a run by buyers. (What recession?) So Dave was pouring the 2009 vintage for both the 777 Block Dijon clone and also a Heritage Cuvee Pommard Pinot Noir. Of the two we much preferred the Block 777 wine, although at 14% "plus" alcohol we found it to be more ":hot" than we like. Still, balanced acid and although young, it will probably be very good in a couple of years. Then again, 2009 was a challenging year for Oregon wine makers because of high heat, so time will really tell how these wines perform. Although we like Oregon Pinot Gris very much, we tend not to prefer them oak aged and the one being poured that day had spent too much time in barrel for us. Different strokes for different folks. With my previous comment about the 2007 Semillion I tipped my hand about which of the four wines being poured that day that we liked the best. Dave said it was Mary's idea to make a dessert wine. Smart woman! Poured at the end of the line up, the "Sydney" was scrumptious. Just sweet enough, not cloying in the least and with lovely caramel - honey - tropical notes. Dave had blue cheese setting out to pair with it - wonderful. This would also be a perfect partner for panna cotta with fresh berries, creme brulee, shortbread cookies, roasted summer stonefruits or fall pears. Worth the $28 / bottle price. THE DISAPPOINTMENT: Although a barn was converted to tasting room sometime in the last five years, the owners failed to make the minimum adjustments as needed to allow it to be accessible to people with mobility disabilities. Both Oregon code and Federal standards require this (and have been in effect since roughly January 1993) in altered buildings open to the public. So, it is disappointing to see this mark not met. It is much like posting a sign "You are second class and not welcome here" for the minority population of people with mobility disabilities. We'd all be outraged if, as example, if people were denied entry based on their racial minority status What would we do if there was a sign at the door "People with Asian heritage cannot enter" or "People with Mexican heritage stay out"? We'd protest. Why do we shrug our soulders when barriers to entry and paticipation for people of disabilities are erected? Particularly disappointing here since it would require only simple modification of ramp through the door to defeat about a 6" step and the use of some firm and stable surfacing in the tasting room parking lot. Only a few hundred dollars of investment would open the door to so many more wine buyers and also end the "you are not welcome here" message. My friends now using wheelchairs would appreciate equal access. The law says they're entitled do it. We protest with our wallets - won't buy more ArborBrook wine until they fix this. read more

One of the best wine tasting experiences I've ever had. Dave Hansen (the owner) greeted us as soon as we walked into the tasting room and explained the three different tasting flight offerings. He was very knowledgeable and friendly. I opted for the Reserve Flight (only $10 with Yelp check-in!). I enjoyed all of them and bought a 3-pack of the "Sydney" semillon. We went the day before crush and Dave told us we could try some of the grapes right off the vine. They were delicious! Best grapes I've ever had. I highly recommend coming here when wine tasting in the Willamette Valley! read more

CHEERS, CHEERS...CHEERS!!! Excelkent wines, beautiful views, plenty of inside/outside seating, friendly staff, snacks and water provided on the weekends to their guests. No joke, this is a must stop on your wine tasting adventure. Plus. They have an art gallery with exquisite local, well priced art work. Come, enjoy the wines, the friendly staff and just relax!!! read more

When you go wine tasting, I recommend trying several types of winery; the big corporate winery with gift shop & stuff (Duck Pond, Anne Amie, Argyle), the hoity-toity fancy winery (Domaine Drouhin, Archery Summit), and the small family-owned winery like ArborBrook Vineyards. The range of experiences at tasting wine is enjoyable. At ArborBrook, you get great wine, properly priced, but with a sincerity that is not often found elsewhere. Come on a weekend, and you may get at tasting from the owner, Dave, who will blow your mind explaining the differences between a 777 Dijon clone and other grape vines. ArborBrook generally serves small treats with their tastings, such as a properly-paired cheese or crackers. It is this extra touch that makes the wine-tasting experience so much fun. As a wine club member, you get excellent benefits with periodic events, and the quarterly wine pick-up parties are superb; catered food pairings with each wine and a festive atmosphere. Oh, and their wines are exceptionally good! read more

ArborBrook Vineyards - Will drink this next year. - Wineries Near Me - Newberg, Oregon

Our best winery of the entire weekend. While many are cutting back on the personalized service during Covid, ArborBrook is not. Dave was extremely friendly and informative about his wines. We loved our experience here as well as the delicious wines. Thank you Dave and team, we loved it! read more

We came to their winery during their, "wine and chocolate" members wine release party. They were very welcoming and included us in the event. The event was $15 for four wine pours and four gourmet truffles. We were able to attend for free with the Oregon Wine Pass that we bought during the holidays. The staff was very friendly and sincere. We were able to enjoy amazing truffles paired with the wine, as well as a checking out local artists at each of the tasting stations. I loved the chocolate. They also had different cheeses and crackers. My father found a rain/windbreaker jacket on sale for 50% off. The day was a pure delight and the wines were refreshing. The dessert wine was a delight that I fell in love with. We will be back again. The winery has a nice patio and a lot of great space at their wine bar too. I loved this place. Great setting and very hospitable. read more

We did not enjoy the Pinots or the tasting room experience. The wine was so weak on the palate, that munching on the crackers they had on the counter obliterated the taste of the wine. The price point on the Pinots was on the lower end so we were hoping to find a nice gem of a winery Maybe on another day read more

Gorgeous pinots. We had a bottle on their beautiful patio in the Vineyards. We sipped it for 90 minutes. It continued to open and evolve. Each sip was different. Like a new bottle each taste. And it just kept getting better. Truly a journey in a bottle. read more

We had a large group doing a 3 part winery tour and ArborBrook was our first stop. This was maybe our least favorite because the other 2 locations had nIce tables set up for us so we could comfortably enjoy our wine but Arbor was standing room only so we were ready to go after about an hour. The wine was okay. There are a few a spots around the tasting room that offer nice views for pictures. read more

This place was amazing to our party of 7 that got stranded after our limo got stuck in the mud. We did the wine tasting here, which was fun, and when it was time to leave, our limo driver told us that our limo was stuck and a tow truck had been called. We were stuck there for over 2 hours and the staff at this establishment was so accommodating. They gave us a bottle of wine, snacks, and a charcuterie board to help us while we waited for the tow truck to come and save us. They were amazing, and helped us enjoy this birthday day despite the circumstances. If I could give them 10 stars, I would. Their hospitality and graciousness during our whole incident was above and beyond. The owners were helpful, gracious, accommodating and absolutely lovely. We will come back again and again and support this lovely family business. read more

Great Burgundian style wines and such genuine kindness from the owner. A must stop spot

Arborbook had real cheese and hazelnuts sitting out upon walking through the newly renovated tasting room. We were ecstatic. Then we got to the wine tasting, which sort of went a little south. They are not a big vineyard here and apparently are very popular! Their supply vs. their demand doesn't seem to be working out, as they were pouring nothing but 2011 and one 2010 and all of them tasted like they could use at least another six months to a year in the bottle. Upon each sip, I was experiencing more and more heartburn. Not sure what was going on. Not only was my tongue telling me "no", so was my gut! My counterpart was okay with their selection and apparently not as sensitive as I. All in all, between the two of us, our favorite wine was one the Semillion, a dessert wine that paired amazingly with the blue cheese. This wine with most of their others, have grapes that are shipped in, from various vineyards, locally and even from across the river in Washington. read more

Arbor Brook - where to even begin? We fell in love with this little place the first time we stopped in last summer and have been members ever since! I used to work in the valley at another local winery, but I won't say which one because I actually like Arbor Brook better! In my opinion, the quality you're getting for the price point is superior to all other wines in Arbor Brook's price range. I appreciate that they have both reds and whites for most palates. They have Pinot that is on the lighter side in the classic Oregon style, as well as oaked (or double-oaked!) Pinot that satisfies even the heavier red-drinkers. The staff is always so friendly and accommodating, especially Dave the owner. (After meeting him for the first time, my friend, who was visiting from New York, commented on what a "lovely man" he was and wished out loud that he could be her father-in-law, ha!) We've found club membership to be very affordable, and the events they host for members are worth the price alone. We can't wait to hangout here all summer! If you are touring wine country, this place is a must! read more

I stopped by ArborBrook unintentionally after work today. I was hoping to check out Adelsheim, but they had already closed at 4pm so I decided to drive up the road a bit further and see if anything was open until 5. I am so glad I decided to do that because ArborBrook was a nice treat off the beaten path. It is such a charming tasting room and the owner was so friendly to chat with. I also really liked that they had crackers and blue cheese set out to accompany the tasting. Today's flight started with two different pinot gris. I preferred the first stainless steel gris over the second oaked gris from the Guadalupe vineyard. I'm just not a big fan of oaking white wines. The pinots on the flight were good too, but then I'd be hard pressed to find a bad pinot noir in the Willamette Valley. But the best thing I tasted today was the dessert wine. It's a sauternes style semillon and it was a deliciously fruity / honeyish end to a nice wine tasting. I am already regretting purchasing only one bottle of it... read more

I love how people get on yelp and they give their "professional" wine review of the wines they tasted. Give me a break...like your palate is the same as everyone elses. I will review the experience. ArborBrook is a special place because of the owners(Dave/Mary), who are always there pouring and telling you about their story and the wines they make. If your lucky Maggie(St.Bernard) might be wondering around the grounds...So sweet...So for me it's about the company you have, the people pouring the wines and how special they make you feel, like family. The upgrade/expansion to the tasting room is fantastic. If you get the chance go to ArborBrook for the people and wine(which I like a lot). My wine expertise? I like to drink wine and love it better when you have good people behind it. read more

20007 Heritage Cuvee Pinot Noir $35, 2007 Estate 777 Block Pinot Noir $42, 2007 Vinter's Select Pinot NOir $60, 2007. Terrible, Terrible, Terrible. Who do you think you are charging such ridiculous prices for such crappy wine??!! High alcohol, high acidity, nothing on the nose, bitter, no length (thank god). And the nerve to charge $10 for tasting 3 wines??!! For good Oregonian wine suggestions please check out my many wine reviews!!!! read more

This is a winery located amongst some of the best wineries in the #Chehalem Mountain region, near Bergstrom and Adelsheim wineries. It is definitely worth a visit to try their #pinotgris and #semillon. Dave, the owner, will take great care of you! read more

I've been coming to Arborbrook Vineyards for over 13 years & have been a Wine Club Member for the last 5 years. Dave & Mary are great people and know how to treat their visitors well even if they don't know much about wine. Wine Club Membership has many benefits and I've met some great people at their events. The staff are great & very knowledgeable about their wines. I highly recommend Arborbrook Vineyards to anyone who wants to have a great wine tasting experience! read more

We found this place using the Oregon Wine Passport. This was a great place with some great snacks to go with your wine. I noshed on cheese and chocolate covered hazelnuts while drinking my wine. The owner (who just so happened to be pouring for us) said that his wife likes Sauvignon Blanc and so he sourced some grapes from Washington and poured us a great wine. Having so many Pinot Noirs, it was so refreshing to have a glass of Sauvignon Blanc. But their Pinot Noir selections were also very good. Overall, a great place! read more

Great Pinots, and the owner is pouring the wines... and what a nice guy! Even the whites were pretty good, even though I'm not a big fan of Pinot Gris. Highly recommended for a stop. They also have a very nice patio outside where you can just hang out and enjoy the rare Oregon sunshine. Despite definitely not needing more wine in our house, we couldn't help but buy a bottle of their 777 Pinot Noir... Delicious! read more

Aside from being the best wine tasting ever- our car died and wouldn't start back up even when Dave (the owner) jumped us multiple times. So we are currently stranded and Dave gives us complimentary wine. Amazing place! read more

What a wonderful winery in Newberg. Owned by a husband and wife, they are producing the kind of wines and growing the kind of grapes they enjoy. Their tasting room is very neat and they have a nice patio with plenty of tables. I highly recommend get a bottle or two with a cheese plate. For $17, you get 3 very large chunks of delicious cheeses with crackers, nuts, and apricots. You can't buy that amount of food at Whole Foods for $17. If you're lucky, you'll get to see their giant friendly dog too! We had a couple bottles of white which were about $25 each. Not bad at all and we really enjoyed the non-corporate feel of the winery. read more

You guys! The man that started this vineyard is so sweet! And they have an art gallery! What makes this place stand out from other vineyards in the area is that they have an oaked Pinot Grigio and that is exciting. Go here for some great conversation. read more

I am not a fan of dessert wine, but these guys had some good Semillion dessert wine. The barn tasting room was quaint. Looking forward to going back after their renovation. I hope they keep the same charm. The hostess, Angelina, was very knowledgeable and friendly. The bleu cheese and crackers with the Semillion was FANTASTIC. read more

I am no wine conisuer but I loved that the tasting room was an old barn. I could smell hay and wine and fresh rain. I wasn't blown away by the wines but we purchased a cuvee and a desert wine. The desert wine was amazing with some baked brie drizzled with local honey and sprinkled with toasted hazelnuts. It really brought out the sweet honey flavours in the wine. I ended up taking the pinot to a friends and had it with pizza, like I said, I'm not an expert, but it was a fun place to stop. read more

Beautiful winery surrounded by vineyards with a lovely selection of wines. The staff and owner were friendly and informative. I will definitely be returning! read more

5 stars for cheese and crackers available to truly taste how the wines pair wth food. 5 stars for the small intimate setting and the winemaker Dave actually hosting the tastings (along with a staff member who was very knowledgeable and friendly also). 5 stars for an amazing explanation about Pinot Noir clones, AVAs and everything else you ever wanted to know. 5 stars for the Coury Clone, the most bizarrely tasty Pinot Noir I've ever had. The explanation about clones from Arbor Brook helped me compare wines at other winery we went to afterward. Very cool. There is a cat that follows you in for cheese and isn't happy when nothing is forthcoming - pretty funny! Good views and a patio too - summer would be nice here. read more

I can't speak to the wine (yet) as I was driving for an event with my friends, but the hospitality and warm welcome we received when we came here (and in setting up our group tasting) was absolutely wonderful! I will be back for sure!! read more
