My sister and i were on a wine tasting trip to the Willamette Valley and put Domaine Serene on our…read morelist because of all the reviews and recommendations. We also wanted a place that offered tastings of white wines since Pinot is not our favorite. We arrived without a reservation. Mind you, this place is HUGE! There are numerous rooms that were completely empty. The main tasting room had probably 5 tables occupied, so it was not crowded. We didn't make a reservation because we went to another winery first, which was a 90 minute tasting, and then had lunch afterwards. Domaine was our second stop, but we didn't want to guess at a time we'd arrive with our driver. The host was kind enough and sat us at a low table that I requested. It took about 10 minutes before anyone came to our table to pour some tastes. While we waited, my sister walked over towards the bar area and overheard two of the wine servers say "it's okay, they're just a walk-in." Really? Maybe we were a walk-in with a thousand dollars to spend! Our pourer was accommodating to our taste for white wine and created a tasting for us. We also ordered a half serving of oysters to pair with our wines. After our first taste, the guy came back and poured us three tastes of three of the same varietal and left the bottles on our table. We waited over 30 minutes for him to come back! In that time, we took it upon ourselves to refill our glasses, and not one person came to see if we were okay or if we were done with our oysters. Finally, after that long wait, we got to taste two more whites. The tasting was $60 each, but if you bought wine totaling $120, they waived the fees. Only because of that, I ordered two bottles. That, along with the oysters got us to the minimum, so our tastings ended up no charge. Good thing! I would have been very vocal if I had paid that much to be completely ignored! All in all, their wines were decent enough, but I'll never go back or order from them again.

Beautiful place to roam!…read more We've driven by the entrance so many times, and I always wondered what was behind the gate. We stopped by Sunday afternoon and parked, fairly empty lot, planning to take the longer unpaved trail and knowing virtually nothing about the estate. When we ended up back at the estate we were very pleasantly surprised. The unpaved trail was just okay, but the grounds surrounding the estate are so lovely. Little paths everywhere, sweet garden areas, a large green yard, and beautiful trees. Looked like there was a lot more to see next visit. Really a fantastic estate. Seems like a fabulous place for an event and definitely an enjoyable spot to wander on a lazy afternoon.

Unfortunately, I was not impressed with the food at our wedding vow renewal. By the time my husband…read moreand I were actually able to sit down and eat, the food was cold, which was disappointing after looking forward to it all evening. The portions were also extremely small--more like appetizers or small bites than a meal. While I appreciate the effort that went into the event, the food quality and portion sizes did not meet my expectations for a catered wedding reception. Based on my experience, I would not personally recommend it.

Honest Review -- Good Food, But Major Service and Communication Failures…read more We had our wedding about a month ago and ordered a two-protein drop-catered meal for 150 guests, plus a charcuterie spread for cocktail hour. Overall, the food itself was good, but we experienced several issues with the service that were never explained or resolved. Unfortunately, our follow-up emails and phone calls went unanswered, which was the most disappointing part of the experience. We're sharing this so others don't go through the same thing--especially when you're spending over $6,000 on catering. 1. Missing Dinner Rolls We added about 150 rolls with butter to the dinner meal for an additional cost. However, when the bride and groom (who were first in line) went through the buffet, the rolls were missing--and no one could explain what happened to them. We had hired a server to stay onsite for 2-3 hours, but even he didn't know where they ended up. They were never served or accounted for. It's possible they were mistakenly set out during cocktail hour, but we couldn't verify that. Regardless, the rolls were part of what we paid for and were never delivered or explained. 2. Missed Drink Service During Cocktail Hour We also hired a server to stay specifically to help manage the bar during cocktail hour. The owner told us that once the recessional music started, the server would begin filling beer and cocktail glasses to set out on the bar, creating a grab-and-go setup to reduce lines and wait times. This never happened. Guests had to pour their own drinks, creating a crowd and long waits for the first 15 minutes. Our day-of coordinator confirmed that the plan we paid for wasn't followed. 3. Food Temperature and Consistency While many guests enjoyed the food, we did receive complaints--especially from those served first (including us)--that the salmon and chicken were room temperature and dry. Those served later had warmer, juicier portions. It seems the top layers of the trays cooled quickly while the lower portions retained heat. For the price, we expected consistent quality across all servings. 4. No Response Afterward The biggest disappointment wasn't the food or service issues themselves, but the complete lack of response afterward. We sent multiple emails and made several calls to try to discuss these concerns, and we never received a reply. We genuinely wanted to love this experience because the food had potential--but communication and follow-through are just as important as flavor. Unfortunately, that's where things fell apart.

It's quiet, walkable, and has a surprising amount of hotel, shopping, dining and wine tasting options within a just a few blocks. We stayed nearby and were able to walk to this event space from our hotel. The building has a brick exterior and interior with polished concrete floors and natural wood accents. The event space features large indoor and outdoor spaces. And the outdoor space had several seating options, both covered and uncovered with lots of lush landscape and greenery throughout. For this particular event, food vendors were stationed in the outdoor space with covered tents while the wine tasting vendors were stationed inside. Both low and high top tables were setup throughout to allow for a variety of seating and mingling options. The bathrooms are individual stalls with two access points from the interior and exterior which allows for ease of access and flow. I think the layout of the space is great for a variety of functions and I would definitely attend another event at this space. Special thanks to the AAPI Food & Wine Fest and CHO Wines for another incredible event!

It's quite magical - from the intriguing artwork to the gorgeous garden - it's a place to settle into and take a moment to enjoy wine and nature. In March 2025 they offered complimentary wine tasting that specific month. I think each month they have a special event or a special offering. In March we did buy a bottle of their wine to take home after our tasting. They also serve small snack platters which pair excellent with the wine. We ordered one and it was deliciously fantastic. In the spring they had yard games and in the winter they have a cozy fire pit. Right now in November/December 2025 they are offering tickets on select Saturdays to come to their special holiday night light show. I went last Saturday. They had S'mores, mulled wine, hot chocolate, and hot fresh apple cider. The gardens dazzled with music and lights. I had two s'mores and a little cup of each drink. The cider and hot chocolate brought back childhood nostalgia and hit the spot. Tickets are required, but the first weekend was free unless you did wine tasting or buy wine by the glass. It was very magical. Everyone was friendly and full of holiday cheer. The gardens were beautiful to walk. I took my elderly parents. My mother recently experienced a bad head injury so my parents opted not to drink. I tried a small taste of the mulled wine, but it was too strong for me. I made an Instagram reel of my experience besides this review. I hope others can come out and enjoy the magic of this place too. I definitely will come back. I hope they offer more food and events. That really raises the bar and makes them the best winery in Yamhill Wine Country.

IF for some reason you insist on taking your young children to typically adult spaces like a peaceful winery, please at least be polite and self aware enough to NOT sit right next to the only table occupied when there are quite literally dozens of empty tables elsewhere, including on the lawn complete with yard games (lawn darts, etc).

Of all the lovely and awesome wineries that have indoor plumbing, we visited some truly awful and mediocre places. See the reviews for all three. The prize for the worst vineyard goes to Kristen Hill, it was a 1 star experience. Runner up at 2 stars, Hauer of the Dauen. The best in show at 3 stars was Walnut City WineWorks. We opted to get the snack pack which is about $6.00 extra. It included hummus, cheese, salami, pita and grapes. It was filling enough and worth the $6.00. We also thought ahead and brought our own bottle of bubbly for the ride to and in between vineyards. Do that: it makes the ride much more fun. I will keep my eyes open for another Living Social or Groupon and will snap it up when I see it. This is a great way to spend a Saturday. Fingers crossed they will make some improvements to the itineraries.

We will likely give the whole tour thing another go when they offer up another Groupon.
