We joined a few…read morefriends, who are wine club members, for a casual tasting and some small bites, and it was lovely. The wine here is consistently delicious, thoughtfully curated, and always comes with great recommendations from the friendly, knowledgeable staff. You can tell they really care--not just about wine, but about creating a welcoming, relaxed space to enjoy it in. The atmosphere is cozy without feeling cramped. Whether you're catching up with friends or just savoring a quiet glass, it feels comfortable and inviting. Tucked between Hawthorne and Division on SE 50th, the location makes it an easy destination. We've been here a few times now, and it keeps calling us back. A true gem for wine lovers and anyone who enjoys a little warmth with their pour.

The inside is very nicely decorated and the staff are very friendl and accommodating. The weather was unseasonably nice for mid-October so we sat outside at one of their many picnic tables. Despite being close to a busy street, the seating area was quiet and whoever does their garden boxes knows what they're doing. Just lovely. There's a good assortment of wines to try and the person at the counter was very helpful in walking us through them. I will definitely be back.

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!

We had a wine tasting with them. The place itself was nice and comfortable. I enjoyed learning…read moreabout 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.

Semi-private tastings are held on Saturdays. For every $100 of wine purchased or same day wine club sign up, up to two tastings will be waived. We were warmly greeted and got started right away. We took our first tasting with us on a tour around and saw where some wines are made, stored barrels, lab, and outdoor event space. They have been doing a summer event on certain Fridays where you can purchase a glass or bottle to pair with Cafe Olli pizza and enjoy music by featured DJ. Highly recommend adding on the meat + cheese board to go with your tasting. It was fantastic and good size as we took some to go. There was not one wine we didn't like which is rare. I purchased 4 bottles and keep thinking about becoming a member. Loved the whole experience!

FYI: the charcuterie vending machine was temporary, and they are now back to an a la carte charcuterie board menu. I had a tasting flight, and enjoyed the depth of flavors and variety in the wines -- lots of unique and beautiful fruit notes! I ordered the vegan balsamic cheese and OMG!!! Soooo creamy and delicious!! I also ordered the mushroom jerky -- well worth it! It's not as tough as beef jerky, which makes it easier to eat. And the flavor is bomb -- definitely tastes like mushrooms and jerky mixed together. The kind lady working the business on the day we visited gave me extra complimentary crackers and apricots. :) She was absolutely wonderful, and it's safe to say the service here was top notch. It was an unusually cold day in Portland (just after their unprecedented snowstorm this year!), so the seating room was crazy cold. That's my only complaint. Lol Highly recommend this business, and hope to go back for more vegan cheese and jerky when I can!

I got the classic draft flight and my partner got the rose flight. Everything tasted ok, but nothing particularly stood out. Surprisingly my favorite was the rose.

My knock on the place was that the whole time we were there, service was friendly but we were never explained the history of the winery or even given an overview of what we were tasting, it was just given to us. Would have liked to learn more, especially since I loved seeing that it is women owned!

I want everyone to have a great experience with their wine purchases....so I'm taking the time. Give Avalon wines a try!!!
