What a charming winery and so close to Portland! Just off I-5 in the quaint town of Aurora, it's a…read morequick ride from Portland yet for feel like you are miles away. Inside is so unique! The floor and counters are made from old bowling lanes. The wood creates a warm and inviting space, perfect for a tasting or to share a bottle. In warmer weather, sit outside and take in the beauty of the vineyard and nature. There are plenty of seating areas Overlooking the beautiful property. Many rave about the hybiscus wine, which I did enjoy, and the Pinot Noir Rose. But I'm a big, bold red drinker so my fave was their Syrah. It was definitely the darkest and most full bodied of their reds with notes of blackberry. blueberry and boysenberry. Nice and jammy with a hint of pepper. Lanphere Cellars, formerly Oregon's Best Wine, opened just a few years ago and I discovered them while taking a Sunday drive. This is a family owned winery and the service is warm, friendly, and knowledgeable If you want to get out of Portland for a fun afternoon or if you are driving down I-5 near Wilsonville, definitely stop by!

The charcuterie board is generous and has been my choice to share with the girls night out each time. Lately, with the beautiful sunshine, the patio has been an excellent place to relax, unwind and catch up with friends. Ready to book my next reservation.

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.

Amazing family-owned winery with fun events!…read more I went to Pete's Mountain Vineyard Annual Holiday Sip & Shop and had a great time. They had several local vendors with an assortment of gifts. Sometimes I feel holiday markets are too "crafty" for me, but luckily this market actually offers really cute, high-quality, useful products. Aside from the event, the views here are gorgeous and the service is very friendly and down to earth.

Fast forward to today, we own a car and decided it was time to find a more local option. After visiting Hawks View this past weekend I can say we've accomplished that and then some. This place sits firmly in the sweet spot of not being too "dinky" or small and not being too stuffy or corporate. I know we all have our preferences, I just like for my environment to be laid back or relaxed. The wines are fantastic here. Keep in mind, I'm no connoisseur of fine wine but I do know good from bad. Beyond the wine, we love this place due to the view (of course) but also the fact you can parlay your wine allocation pick up with a rotating menu of food. Makes for a great little weekend getaway or drive in the car.

Food and Wine- 4.5/5 Service - 5/5…read moreAmbiance - 5/5 I absolutely loved the service here. We came around 3pm on a Saturday and it was pretty slow so our service was quick and more intimate. We loved the red and white wine offerings in their flights. My only slight critiques were the flight options and seating. I was wishing there were more white wine flights offered. Their seating was a little limited for bigger parties downstairs so we went upstairs. This place is also so conveniently located. We went to the waterfront area for the Saturday market and took a short 10-15 min walk here afterwards.

A nice spot to grab some wine and nibblers. I had the flight of white Pinot, Pinot noir and Syrah…read more All three were good, the Syrah was my favorite and the white was flavorful and crisp. We split the charcuterie which was a pleasant surprise, herby almonds, olives, crackers and cheese and meat. The server was friendly and personable.

Until we were leaving and never received our receipt. We walked up to ask for it because we wanted to leave a tip. Apparently the one who helped us added her own 30% tip to our tab. We didn't complain about it as it's not our style but it's been bothering me for a while and I wonder if they do this to others without their knowledge. I'd check your receipts if you don't get one. When looking back on the website it does say they add a 20% tab on parties 6 or more. Which we only had 5 and it was way over 20%. Anyway, I wouldn't go back but be aware and check your receipts!

This time, I brought my friends from Hillsboro, one who is hesitant about most wines, especially reds. This place convinced her that reds can be good, so I take a lot of pride in being able to show her and her husband this gem. They said they'll definitely take their parents here too. The views are amazing, the people are friendly, and tipping is very much optional. I recommend doing the tasting and then getting a glass and strolling the property. There are adirondak chairs out front and picnic tables out back. They'll open up the glass folding windows in the tasting room on breezy days. There are beautiful flowers all over the property. Some of the wines are named after the owners' dogs - Delilah's Cuvee is my favorite!

She was attentive and personable, and made us feel very welcome. My Pinot flight was delish (the white was a delightful surprise), and the charcuterie board was the perfect companion. We were alone inside but I can imagine it feeling a bit cramped if it were to get crowded, though they have outside seating as well. Price was reasonably to mildly pricy but understandable considering the area. Parking may be a challenge for some; it was early afternoon when I went so luckily I found a spot around the corner. Overall a fun experience. I will definitely be back next time I'm in town.

We loved our visit here for an early birthday celebration. We started with a wine flight, which we…read moreshared. After tasting, we chose a couple of glasses of a nice Cabernet Sauvignon 2018 and Sangria. We didn't get any food because we did have dinner plans but we did get some truffle popcorn, which was actually really good. The fire pits and their love for dogs is just perfect. All and All - Loved my visit here, it can be a bit spendy, but well worth it when you spend it with someone you love.

The selection of which wineries, we left up to Carmine, and he hit exactly what we were hoping to achieve. Finding some under the radar labels and learning more about willamette valley and the surrounding area. This time we tried out Christom, Brooks, Bethel Height, domaine Serene, Posessed wines and picked up a couple cases from Holloran. Our first winery was Bethel Heights, and was taken aback about how good this tasting flight was, especially the buttery tasting Chardonnay. A perfect way to start a cloudy but adventurous day. Brooks Winery - Lunch was exceptional, we tried the chicken and butternut Squash, also ended up loving their selection of Pinot's and Riesling's and immediately became a member after finding what we consider the perfect Riesling. In Salem we stopped by Christom and only positive things to say about the exceptional tasting we had. We added this winery to our growing membership list. I believe it was their Chardonnay, Pinot and price point that raised the bar for us.. In Dundee Hills we stopped by Domaine Serene which we already had a membership. We had brilliant time there and ended up buying more of their wines. Carmine also treated us to his personal brand possessed wines and it's a treat, beautiful flavor profiles, clean biodynamic winemaking. Of the bottles we tried his Somm Select Rose and Syrah were my favorites. Ended up coming back to the hotel last night putting on some Bee Gees and finishing up the bottle of cool climate Syrah.. When we get back to Honolulu, definitely going to dive into the other bottles and really explore the different offerings. Overall tour - cost is reasonable, especially for a private tour, and not having to worry about transportation and setting up the tastings. I have allot of favorite parts of the tour so hard to pick one. Best way to explain this is we're already planning for our next tour with Carmine and we really hope we could invite some friends to experience what we did.. this tour is the perfect romantic journey with your loved one, trying out the different wines and just having a great day but it can also be wonderful, educational experience and how good the wines, wineries and elevated experiences this tour offers.
