Hip Chicks Do Wine is a small urban winery. They do wine tasting three days a week, and they do a ton of fun events on weekends. They've been open since 1999. They are women-owned, family-owned, and LGBTQ-owned. They have fun names for their wine like Drop Dead Red, Bad Girl Blanc, Wine Bunny Blush, as well as a Pride line (plus more typical malbecs, cab, pinots, etc). They recently accommodated an unusual request from me. I was able to pick up a couple bottles on a day they're normally closed. They were responsive via text and made it easy for me, making my bad planning into a non-issue. Super grateful for that! read more

Always a great experience here. The vibe is welcoming and relaxed, the staff are knowledgeable without being pushy, and the wine selection never disappoints. It's the kind of place where you can linger, learn something new, and feel right at home whether you're a wine novice or a total enthusiast. Every visit feels thoughtfully curated and consistently enjoyable read more

We had a wine tasting with them. The place itself was nice and comfortable. I enjoyed learning about the winery and wines as they explained what we were trying. There were six wines in the initial tasting with a bonus moscat. As I went through the six, I was impressed as each seemed to taste better than the last. I'm not a fan of sweet wines and was hesitant with the moscat. But it was "mild" enough that I told my wife that I could drink a glass of it. One thing to understand is that this is an urban winery. It is located in an industrial area--very much a unique setting for a winery. They make all their wines on site and source their grape a within a 4 hour drive. It is a cool spot with great wines. Very worth a stop. read more

Went there for a tasting with my coworkers and had a great time. Laurie and Renee were fantastic hosts. I really enjoyed the wine, conversation, and food pairings. I'm not local (in town for a conference) but it struck me as a hidden gem. Definitely worth a visit. read more

This update is based on a recent dinner at Hip Chicks, structured around their Tempranillo releases from multiple years. Spanish inspired food was served to go with, and sometimes include, the featured wine. It's a wonderful thing to have winemakers who take the time to design a meal around their products, passing along ideas on how to best enjoy a nice bottle of wine at home. read more

For me, visiting wineries isn't just about the wine, but wine culture. I love hearing the stories about the winery and learning how they do what they do and why they do it. This is the oldest urban winery in Portland and they have a rich history. I was incredibly grateful they opened their doors and allowed us to make a reservation for a tasting on a day they are usually closed (and there were only 2 of us!). And their wines.... OMG!!! With each tasting it just got better and better. The wines are served in a test tube (and you have a glass to pour them into) which I thought was plenty for a tasting. They went out of their way to source some chocolate for us (it's our anniversary) and provided a small cheese and fruit plate. The tasting room has ample space and was decorated for the holiday. I cannot recommend this winery highly enough!!! We loved it so much we are debating becoming wine club members even though we live across the country from them. read more

I've had their wine for some time, but this was my first time at the mothership. Note it's a little bit tucked behind there, so just follow the signs, and you can't go wrong. My friend and I came for a tasting as part of a holiday market supporting a local nonprofit. The space itself is inviting and clean. I love how they have a wine for everyone really except for maybe no sparkling as far as I can tell. I think my favorites were the malbec and their Rouge red blend as well as the rosé. The skin contact pinot gris also had a nice herbal flavor. I appreciate all they do to support our local community and that they have lots of events. Look forward to coming back soon! read more

When a business screws up you hope that they do the right thing, but when a customer royally screws up you aren't sure how one will act. I organized my first event recently at my new job. I had briefly been a wine club member at Hips Chicks. I joined pre-Covid as so many of their events sounded fun. I stopped my membership once events stopped being a thing anymore. I noticed on their website they started up again and saw they had a Halloween Candy Wine Parining Event. I inquired through their website, about hosting an event at my work. Gloria responded immediatley and was super communicative everytime I reached out to her. I wanted to organize two different events. Gloria told me they could deliver kits in the morning the day of each event. The first date, all I arrived on time, and was super impressed by the presentation, and how easy it was to host the event. Everyone loved it. The day of the second event arrived, and mid-afternoon i realized my kits had not been delivered. I went back to check my email and noticed I had given Gloria the wrong date. I was besides myself. It was a Tuesday, and the winery was closed. I reach out to every email listed on their website, but I was frantic and needed a response ASAP. I then saw a link to their FB page and sent a message through there explaining what happened. With in seconds the owner responded, and within in 15 minutes my kits were at my door. I can't express how grateful I truely was. I did not want to reschedule the event and have to admit my failure. They totally saved my booty. They are the epitome of what good custmer service is all about. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! Thank you! read more

Awesome spot in Sellwood. In the industrial area, and thankfully they had signs to direct you. Owners were good people willing to share their history. They will be celebrating 20 years! I did a succulent pot oil diffuser class and it was so worth it! Nothing better than girls time while enjoying a bottle of wine! read more

I had my birthday party here on 3/23/24 and it was amazing. Great service, calm atmosphere, delicious wines. We had the Easter candy pairing with our wine tasting and it was so fun. The wine samples come in these little test tube type things and it's creative. I have been to many tasting rooms and this was the most comfortable, chill place ever. We also ordered some appetizers and those were good too. Zero complaints. We bought a bunch of bottles of wine to take home too. read more

Kind of off the beaten path in a west house style district. They are so kind. Everyone that works there is amazing. I did the wine flight. I feel it's the best way to get to know the wines and ordered the apple Brie walnut with honey flatbread. I couldn't have been happier. The food is so good as was the wine. They do not have a vineyard but the grapes they use are purchased from local growers. I was there for sip and shop because I've loved these two things for a long time. It's a small market but the vendors are all amazing. The booths offered flowers, jewelry, pound cake (I bought raspberry), a photographer (yes you can have your portrait taken and from the samples posted she's really good), a booth with cards and stickers, and my favorite (because of the Disneyland connection) softest scarfs and infant blankets. I bought the infant blanket for my niece who will have her second boy soon. I should have taken more pics of the shops but I was having to much fun. I can't wait for the next months market. I'm hoping my friend will be able to come with me. Until then here are the pics I did take. read more

My daughter and I attended the Sangria tasting event on Saturday. We were so excited for this adventure. We got there and there only a few tables filled which made me question why we needed to make reservations. We were excited to taste the Sangria. What we got was six test tubes that literally held a table soon each of three of their wines and three Sangrias. I have been wine tasting for years, Never have I received a test tube with literally a tablespoon of a wine to sample. How do you charge $20 for 6 tables of Liquid? I could drag this out, but will simply say ALL of the wines and sangrias were horrible! Strong/bitter after tastes and the Sangrias were an insult to Sangria for sure. A lot of fruit purée, grossly sweet, maybe some limeade and no fresh fruit - a signature of great sangria. I'm 60; I've been drinking wine and planning events at wineries for 30 years- I worked in the Napa Valley for five years. I love wine and I don't have to drink expensive wine, it just needs to be good. This experience was a HUGE disappointment. I was introduced to Hip Chicks wines about 10 years ago. Back then I liked what I had tried, but it was never a regular in my rotation so I was excited to rediscover it. Sadly, it was an EPIC fail. I am all about supporting women in business for sure- first and foremost, but As a consumer I expect a lot and sadly this experience and the quality of the product did not deliver. read more

Hip Chicks Do Wine hosts the coolest events. From holiday craft shows with great vendors to art nights to hosting a couple wineries. At the craft shows I enjoy slowly drinking a flight of 6 wines while chatting with vendors and purchasing gifts. At the last event I decorated my own Christmas cookie. I havent done that in years! The two owners are so chill and cool. I love listening to their descriptions of their wine. They put so much care into every bottle. Hip Chicks Do Wine is a good winery that drives you to come back often for the additional non wine related fun! read more

They are hip and friendly chicks indeed. But, the chicks don't do wine all that well. The tasting room is hip and a cool venue for tasting and for events. I checked them out for the wine and chocolate tasting event The Hip Chicks hosted on February 12th and 13th, 2011, featuring chocolates by Cocoa Velvet Chocolates. To start we had a 2007 Sangiovese paired with a Lavender Earl Gray dark Chocolate. The wine on its own was nothing special. I had to have the chocolate with it to be able to sip and appreciate it. In fact, none of the wines wowed me and I couldn't bring myself to buy a bottle or even a full glass of anything. I noticed the pricing of the wines were not unreasonable at around $16.00 for the Sangiovese to $26.00 for a Malbec. I will spend that much for good wine on occasion. But these are just not that good. I like the concept of having a cool tasting room here in the city that hosts fun and interesting events like the chocolate tasting event. I just hope the wine making part of their endeavor improves. read more

What a great place! Excellent wine, good people, lovely bites to eat. They have a wine club with various options and regular wine club parties that are always enjoyable. read more

My friend and I attended the wine and sangria tasting today. Neither of us had ever been here before and loved that it is in an industrial area. We aren't hung up on ambience so that was fine and it was nice to sit outside. The wine and sangria was smooth and very good, we liked every taster we had. My friend also enjoyed the cheese and cracker plate and flatbreads, as well. The servers are very pleasant and efficient and it was a wonderful way to spend a Saturday afternoon. read more

Hidden gem! Relaxing adult atmosphere, wonderful music, fantastic wine selection and flavor.

Best winery in town! Love the themed events and all the hospitality. Delicious snacks too.

Very cool wine tasting experience in a very random area of Portland. Tucked away among a bunch of warehouses is an unexpectedly cute little urban winery that does really fun tastings on the weekend. $20 for 5 tastings and they had lots of fun snacks on the menu as well. While we were tasting, one of the owners stopped by every table and gave people some fresh grapes to taste. They were the grapes that were being processed for wine that very day! Really cool. read more

Sorry to be a buzzkill, but shouldn't a winery serve wine that's at least somewhat drinkable? I spent $13 to try 9 of their varietals and none were worth a second look. I'm not a snob here, I enjoy all price levels of wines, but the reds were truly bitter and "off". The $13 Blush? I think Beringer makes a "white zin" that tastes exactly like this, and it's $3.99. Here's the thing: I want them to do well because I support local businesses. Great concept, cute bottle labels, great website and logos.... I love the name. It implies that they are able to compete with larger wineries. But great marketing is not enough for them to survive. I hope they can get the help and expertise they need to produce some good wine. Part of running a business is realizing where your weaknesses lie, and then hiring good people to compensate for them. Some good wine-making advice is needed here, and stat. read more

Just went for tasting. I reserved for 1 but al last minute my boyfriend and a friend were able to join - they where so accommodating! Val checked us in and helped us throughout our time. She is great!!! Very attentive! The Tempranillo and Loud and Proud red wines were good!! We enjoyed our time! Support this winery!! read more

Hopefully, this was just my taste. I bought 3 bottles of wine ($75 or so). I am on my second to taste and so far disappointed . The place was modern, the staff was super friendly. Perhaps I am just comparing it to California wines too much. Please try it before judging... we all differ in taste. read more

I have been wanting to check this place out for a long time. So, I and a small group went to their wine and chocolate pairing event. It was, ok. All in the group felt pretty middle of the road about the wine. Please keep in mind though that taste is subjective and that's just how we felt. Of the basic tasting, the wine bunny and the syrah were the ones that stood out and we all agreed were really pretty good. The rest were, meh--neither good nor terrible. The chocolate pairing was nice--the cardamom sesame truffle was very interesting. Lastly, I want to mention the environment. We were not prepared for how cold the location was. They had space heaters trying to heat up the place but it was terribly cold and uncomfortable. We rushed through our tasting so that we could go get warm. While this wouldn't be an issue during the summer and maybe early fall, during the winter and early spring I would recommend wearing warm layers when heading there for a tasting. read more

This place is so fun! Its cute and the sangrias are lovely! The owner served us herself and made our experience wonderful. I would highly suggest visiting. read more

Didn't even know that urban wineries are a thing til I met the hip chicks. The owners work really hard to create excellent wines, but also fun events, amazing pairings, and interesting snacks. read more

I'm not impressed with this place at all. I will give credit where credit is due, the service was very friendly and accommodating. Outside of that, however, my experience was a huge disappointment. My wife and I went here to kill some time when getting the car serviced, and this was one of the closest places to the garage. We originally wanted to go to Gigantic but since they wouldn't be open for a couple more hours, we went here instead. The wine is very overpriced. Ten dollars a glass and it tastes like typical table wine. Five to six dollars a glass would be reasonable for the quality. The location is also way off the beaten track, with no attempt to create ambience. It felt just like what it is, a big sketchy warehouse. Do yourself a favor and just go to Grocery Outlet, buy a $5 bottle of wine, go to an empty warehouse and enjoy. You'll save money and have a more interesting experience. read more

We went there on a whim and the wine was definitely a disappointment. We left before even finishing our flight

If you want the authentic Portland experience then Hip Chicks Do Wine should be first on your list! Yes, it's funky a little treasure tucked deep in an industrial area and that is the adventurous beauty of it. They have a quaint tasting area and a warm welcome. The wine is made in small batches, which is very appealing to me. You can also drop in for a wide variety of events, such as a unique boutique shopping experience that is held from time to time with local artists, yoga and wine, pop and paint and other fun events. I highly recommend a stop here if you're looking for something other than the run of the mill, standard wine experience. So grab some friends and head out for a unique and one of a kind wine tasting outing! read more

Had a great tasting today. Leila was amazing. Told us a lot about each wine and we had a great time. Bought three bottles to take home. And a club membership form! Love! read more

After we walked and walked and walked the backstreets of some industrial neighborhood, we finally arrived at Hip Chicks. It was a great spot out in the middle of nowhere. The wine tasting was pretty cool and they had some cute gifts with their various graphics from their bottles.. all very girly, all very cool. Wines aren't as memorable.. but I don't remember hating any either. However, when we leave a tasting with only a rosé, then that means nothing else blew my skirt up. read more

If you're from California, DO NOT COME HERE. The wine was not good. I might even say terrible. After the first sip of each taste, the wine tasted worse, and we ended up taking it like a shot. It was on a list of the best wineries in Portland, and one of the only one open daily. Don't be fooled - you'll feel the sugar hangover set in before you walk out the door. The girl working was really nice and knowledgeable about the wine, but that was the only redeeming feature. read more

God awful, wife spat saying tasted like "hippy armpit hair" (not sure how she knows). She said I'm too polite for having choked it down and smiling at them. With so many great ones just an hour east I can't imagine why to go here. read more

Hip Chicks Do Wine is a local treasure! I have been here for wine tasting several times and always enjoyed it. The staff are really friendly and helpful and enjoy answering questions about their products. I always end up purchasing a few bottles on my way out. Other products include t-shirts, hoodies, and stickers. It is indeed in a strange location. Not bad, just....circuitous. If I didn't have a GPS I might have needed to call for directions. But it adds to the ambiance, it makes you feel like you earned it, or even discovered a secret place. Recently I attended a tasting where they had several artisan vendors displaying their products. This was an added bonus, as the artists had some fantastic things there to look at while sipping the wine. Amazing snacks as well. Looking forward to my next trip to the Hip Chicks. read more

We had searched for local wineries in the Portland area. We knew about McMinnville but we wanted a smaller winery. We were NOT disappointed! We had a reservation to taste their wines and we loved their tasting room. Laurie was friendly and inviting. Loved the test tube tastes of their amazing wine! These women not only make amazing wines but they create a positive and memorable experience. The store has so many cool items. We joined their wine club because the wines are THAT good!!! Highly recommend!!! read more

I sought out this winery after having Drop Dead Red at a friends home. I was obviously a Magpie in another life, because shiney, sparkly things catch my eye. The labels for these bottles totally catch your eye and are fun! This urban winery is a fun stop when showing friends from out of town around. The wine makers are always around to explain the flavors, inspirations and processes that go into their wine making. They quite often have events, so check to see what's going on each month. There are live bands, gourmet food and the likes. All in all, a good time, and bonus- their wine is affordable! Warning- Not for the wine snob!! read more

Long live the urban wine movement! It is such a relief to have quality wine without any pretension. Our pourer, Steph was very attentive without being pushy, and seamlessly wove together informative narrative with rapid refills. In an industrial area, but not as hard to find as a winery in the country, since they've got more signs than a billboard convention. Looking forward to going to one of their many events read more
