The wines were all good. Obviously liked some more than others. I personally appreciate and prefer biodynamic wines. I just think they have better flavor. I'm not a wine snob, but Troon is Demeter Biodynamic and Regenerative Organic Gold Certified (only one of four in the world). The Amphora Amber Vermentino (orange) was good and the Tannat was awesome. They do small batch so many of the reds had already sold out. Our server, Kitty, was incredibly knowledgeable about the wines, the process, and the uniqueness of each variety. We were blown away! She paced the tastings perfectly. We weren't waiting too long in between and we also didn't feel rushed. I didn't take pictures, but the outdoor lawn area is wonderful.

The flight was $25, where at other places down the road it's just $10 for a flight.)

Unfortunately, it turned into one of the most disappointing winery experiences we've had. The biggest issue wasn't just the food--it was the customer service and overall atmosphere. The food service employees were unfriendly, impersonal, and appeared far more interested in their phones than interacting with customers. We ordered a full Caesar salad and one of the most expensive pizzas on the menu. The Caesar salad was surprisingly small, and even though we ordered the full size, it was a very disappointing portion for the price. The pizzas themselves are also quite small compared to what you'd expect from most pizzerias, making the price even harder to justify. The pizza was completely unacceptable. Several slices had virtually no toppings at all--just cheese. For one of the highest-priced pizzas on the menu, the quality was nowhere near what we expected. I brought the pizza back to the counter to show the employee that some slices had no toppings. He didn't apologize, ask what was wrong, or say a single word. He simply took the pizza and walked away. When my wife asked to speak with a manager, she was told, "We have no managers working here today." That response was just as disappointing as the food. Hoping someone in the tasting room could help, I explained what had happened to one of the employees. Instead of apologizing or trying to make things right, the employee responded, "Yeah, we have to send our shit back there all the time because they don't get it right." Hearing an employee speak that way about a coworker and in front of customers was completely unprofessional and made the situation even worse. To their credit, I did receive a refund for the pizza. However, by that point, the experience had already been ruined. As we were leaving, I turned around and noticed the same employee from the tasting room and the employee who had taken back the pizza standing together, watching my wife and me leave while appearing to talk about us. Whether they were or not, that's the impression they gave, and it left us feeling even more unwelcome. What really added insult to injury was seeing one of the employees sit down with a pizza for lunch as we were leaving. Their pizza looked loaded with toppings and looked far better than the one we had just been served. I obviously don't know whether it was made differently or not, but from what we saw, it certainly gave the impression that employees were getting pizzas prepared with far more care than the ones being served to paying customers. What disappointed me most is that Schmidt Winery has so much potential. The property is beautiful, but the hospitality simply doesn't match the setting. The atmosphere felt forced rather than welcoming, and the lack of professionalism from several employees overshadowed everything else. I sincerely hope the owners see this review because I don't believe they would want guests treated this way. Sometimes business owners don't realize the impression their staff is leaving on customers. People may forget exactly what was said or what they ate, but they'll always remember how a place made them feel. Unfortunately, Schmidt Winery made us feel like our business didn't matter. We won't be returning. Fortunately, there are several excellent wineries in the Grants Pass area where customers are treated with genuine hospitality and appreciation. I hope Schmidt Winery takes this feedback seriously, because experiences like ours don't encourage people to come back.

Truly, there's nothing better on a chilly day than a wonderful glass of wine paired with genuine hospitality. During our trip, we found ourselves returning to Walport Family Cellars several times.

We'll never forget the fudge pairing they offered--the flavors were incredible and perfectly complemented the wines. If you're in the area, I highly recommend stopping by--not only for their outstanding wines, but also to hear the story behind them. It's the kind of place that makes you want to slow down and stay awhile. We're already looking forward to our next visit.
