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!

The vibe was casual, smart and chic. My friend and I had the tasting flight and each glass brought a smile. Light. Refreshing. Crisp.

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've attended a variety of events here: holiday markets, author meet and greets, halloween candy pairings, club parties, and tastings. The owners are constantly experimenting with different foods to go with each year's vintage. This is a true working winery - the main space is sometimes full of grapes being processed, so seating is sometimes in a side room, and sometimes bellying up to the counter in the main room. Hip Chicks is an urban wine institution, and Portland is the better for it.

The overall experience here was absolutely 5 stars!…read more There are a lot of wineries / wine bars in Portland, and this was at the top of my list because of the vegan charcuterie board options. 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!

Anyway, I love that this tasting room is an easy walk from my place. Plus it's near all the food and other things I like when I take to the fire water and get to walking! I came during a private event and almost thought I wouldn't be able to taste. However they have a back bar area that has tables set up, so I was able to get my sip on. There are bunches and bunches to sip from the Hue Hue coffee rum (dangerous because you can sip this stuff straight, the coffee flavor is that good) to even an eggnog flavored tipple, you will find something interesting to taste! The tasting experience was informative and fun! It wasn't pretentious, and it truly was laid back. You can decide how much you wanted to interact. So if you just wanna sip and be left to your thoughts you're given the option. I bought a couple bottles and I will definitely be back for more. It's really cool to have a decent priced high quality distillery so close by!

The manager enjoys sharing his wealth of knowledge. We tasted our $5 whiskey flight in the lounge area, but you also have your choice of sitting at the pour bar or at small high tables. A bottle of their award winning rye whisky is $79 which seems like a good value. I enjoyed the coffee rum taster and bought a bottle for only $19.95. Their wide selection makes the place look cluttered, somewhat messy. You're somewhat over-stimulated by all the eye candy and making a selection gets confusing. Whatever, if that model works then more power to them. I will definitely return.

The shelves are always full, and every time I go I find something new and interesting 2) Their prices are so reasonable!

The new owners are warm, inviting, and SO knowledgeable! Michael is an endless font of information, and so good at giving an informed recommendation, all while somehow *not* being a wine-snob! He and his sweet family make the shop have such a wonderful neighborhood vibe. What a gem of a shop! Can't wait to go back (soon)

My wife was drawn in by the A-frame sign on the sidewalk, and brought me in on a subsequent visit.

J and J occupies a long, narrow space, with wines displayed on the left wall, a couple of small tables along the right wall, and a comfy looking mid-century modern lounge area at the back. They will be doing joint events with their Woodsman Tavern neighbors, combining wine tasting with food experiences, making their location seem particularly auspicious. So far, the guidance at J+J has led us to new (to us) labels that we have really enjoyed. Great place for exploration.
