The wines are very good to excellent. We both chose their home flight, which paired a chardonnay and a Pinot noir served side by side. Interesting concept. We also ordered the charcuterie board which was amazing (pricey, too!). At the end, we decided to join their club because it just makes sense. If you go, you may decide that, too. It was a special experience and memorable. I recommend.

I had the farmers cheese and it was good and a large enough serving i could have shred it. People around us ordered the full board and it was massive enough for 2 very hungry people or 3/4 people sharing. The staff was amazing! Very friendly and so willing to help you pick a wine and provided table service. The sparkling Blanc de Blanc was so amazing I broke my wine budget just to take a bottle home to my very picky man. He gave it the thumbs up, huge win!!, and it will become a splurge wine for us; we love dry sparkling wine.

The breathtaking views, exquisite wines, and impeccable customer service made it truly memorable. Phil and Camile, the wine connoisseurs, were incredibly knowledgeable, helpful, and professional throughout our entire tasting journey. Even on the chilly and windy day we visited, the warmth of the blazing fire added to the cozy ambiance. Don't miss out on the opportunity to learn about the unique story behind the name--it's quite fascinating! Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and can't wait to visit again in the future!

Tried this place on a sunny afternoon on a weekend. It was empty for the most part of our visit and…read morethere were hardly any people around. It's a beautiful winery with vineyard around a castle. There's barely any food at this place. Not even the basic snacks to pair with the wine tasting. Giving it a 3 star rating because of their service. We had to ask for the snacks and wine several times for us to get the service and no one is available actively to serve the customers. Even the wine tasting, usually they talk about the type of wine and where it's made, however, the person who poured us the wine didn't even tell us anything about the type of wine. The only positive side of this place is their ambiance and the vineyard. I would definitely not go here again. They could do better with the service.

This was one that was recommended to us, but was a huge disappointment to start off. We had called ahead where they told us. There was no such thing as reservation and the patio was on a first come first serve basis, although the very first question when we walked in was, do you have reservations the patio was full and we were given a table inside while we waited to see if something opened up no more than three minutes behind us some lady walks in ask if they can get a table because their new wine members and they want to get their free flight. They told the ladies that they were full and that they could sit inside. She asked if they could walk outside and look around at least and show her friend around she said that's no problem. They did that when they came back in they had mentioned it looked like somebody was getting ready to leave and wanted to know if they would be able to get that seat outside. I thought great we're going to get passed up for this. And then the hostess came over and told us that there was an opening outside. I thought oh great we didn't get passed up so they escorted us outside and tell us that it's just the gazebo seating that's available right now and then they gave the lady that came in three minutes behind us the table. Say we went there to eat dinner. We went to have a good time and we got sat on some old crappy broken down patio furniture and then we got ignored by our waitress and several other waitresses never brought us our water and finally brought us our drinks from inside which they told us they were going to bring immediately and it took about 30 minutes to get them. I should've just got up, walked inside and grabbed them off the table myself and then after being ignored, we finished our watered down shitty wine and had to walk up to the bar because we were being ignored to pay the bill and had every waitress eyeball us and freak out like we were going to walk out without paying I have never in all of my life been treated so rudely I was told good things about this place, but I will never be back. This was some of the most disrespectful rudest service I've ever seen in my life. I am a professional chef and I have worked in the restaurant and catering industry for over 30years. This place absolutely put a foul taste in my mouth like never before basically if you're not a regular or senior citizen don't expect to get any kind of customer service. I felt that we were highly discriminated against because of our age. We are in our late 40s although the large portion of the crowd was all gray haired and in their late 60s to 80s I felt that because we were younger. We got the shitty seats and got passed up by the older people so that they could sit at the table. I was disrespected. I was treated rudely and it was completely unacceptable.

I always prefer reds but the Riesling they gave us to taste was very nice. I'm kicking myself for not writing down the pinots because the peppery one was fantastic!! The tasting room is lovely and we were allowed to bring in our own small tray of snacks too (not knowing we could buy there as well, which we did because we had a very large group). I had no idea where Forest Grove was (and I've lived here all my life) and so I was thrilled to discover this winery with my friends on a Birthday wine tasting day. Yay Forest Grove!

Within a two hour window at least twice we didn't have somebody come by a refill. Our water order. Check in on us over 30 minutes long, again not very many people there until later half. Our chicken was dry as well. Maybe that's normal for them as they're trying to give the people space for more talk. My wife was really hungry so I ended up having to get up and ask for help. Then when I did the second time, I got a little bit of visual guff. As in go sit down and we will come to you.

THE BLACK AND WHITE: This was our last winery stop before we headed back to Portland and we were fortunate to snag a seat outside overlooking Mount Hood. This place also doubles as an Airbnb so if there's ever a stay the night kind of deal, this winery offers it. I got the wine tasting of four which consisted of a pinot gris, cab franc, pinot noir and a rose of pinot noir. My favorite out of the bunch was surprisingly the cab franc, even though we were in pinot country. Very green and vegetal tasting. It was a weird way to get to the bathroom which I had to walk around the building because the farmer was sleeping in the main room. THE FINAL BAMBOO: Overall a tasting was around $28. I'd say a good value and good wines with a great view.
