It is clear they have a passion for wine and the winemaking process. We learned about the effects of the 2020 fires on the wines and were able to taste a Pinot from that year for comparison with the years just before. We also got to taste the rose aged and bottled next to a pour fresh from the barrel for comparison. This was our most unique and personalized tasting experience. We were the only people at the winery so we were able to ask lots of questions and learned a lot. We enjoyed ourselves so much we ordered a case to be shipped to our house. If you're in the area, definitely send an email for a reservation to check this place out.

Our visit to Stangeland Vineyards and Winery was one of the nicest times I have had in a tasting room in a long time. The Staff and vineyard owner were friendly, welcoming, patient, informative and attentive (Thank You, Sierra!). The local wines were very good. The cost of the tastings was reasonable ... $10 per person for five, $15 per person for ten. I recommend taking the time to sit on the porch, relax, have a glass of wine, and admire the spectacular view of the Willamette Valley. Four Stars.

We were welcomed with a splash of their Blanc de Noirs. A glass of bubbly is always a good way to start a tasting! Then we settled into the tasting cabin with the beautiful green woodburning fireplace, which kept us nice and cozy on this chilly PNW day. Brandon and Claire took us through six wine tastings: 3 reds and 3 whites. My husband and I both fell in love with the La Source wines: the La Source Chardonnay and the La Source Pinot Noir. But all of their wines were beautiful. The new(ish) tasting cabins make a wine tasting experience here pure PNW: warm and welcoming, cozy and comforting, and the wines are lovely expressions of the terroir here in the Eola-Amity Hills AVA. I definitely recommend making a reservation for a tasting at Evening Land! The people are always a huge part of what make a wine tasting experience special, and Brandon and Claire were amazing. The wines are delicious, and the vineyard views are stunning. If you're in Portland, it's about a 45-minute to 1-hour drive to Evening Land. Totally worth it for an unforgettable experience.

Evening Land is a must visit when In Willamette. We will be back! Did I mention that the wines are superb?

For a few years now, I've wanted to visit Bjornson but never made the time to do so. Since I was…read morevisiting another winery about a mile away for an event they were having, I had to stop at Bjornson before that. And was I glad I did. They have a stellar selection of both reds and whites. I opted for their standard tasting, which just scratches the surface of the wines that are available from this great, boutique winery. Don't get me wrong, I love the big boys, too, but there is something extra special about going to a smaller winery and enjoying a fantastic wine in an atmosphere that is more intimate. It's like finding a hidden gem next to another gem! What a treat! I was served by Becky, who was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. When I left, I bought a bottle of wine, but since it's a boutique winery and I didn't know if they'd have this other bottle I wanted, I opted for both, which is rare for me (unless I need to purchase 2 bottles to waive the tasting fee).

Country Mouse vs. City Mouse…read more One of the hallmarks of a great relationship is knowing your partner almost better than you know yourself. You can predict what they'll order off a menu, things that make your love go off the reservation and most importantly the little things that make them happy. You also get to indulge in a fair amount of gentle teasing and mockery. My husband is Mr. Outdoorsman and I'm more of a city girl. So when we have those open ended conversations about our 'dream home' he tends to visualize a large plot of land in the country and I'm leaning towards a condo in the city. As we were driving through the picturesque wine country, part of me was enjoying the view, but the other part was afraid he was going to start pulling house flyers. It is beautiful, but I need lots of people, restaurants, museums and close proximity to an airport. I was introduced to the pinot noirs of this small vineyard almost ten years ago and it was love at first sip. They are not mass produced or marketed, so I will go months without seeing their label in restaurants or grocery stores. They are 100% estate bottled, so all grapes come from their 51 acres. After meeting the owner at the Bite of Portland this summer, visiting their vineyard went to the top of my wine country wish list. But first we visited St. Innocent just up the road. Imagine a modern French chateau with chandeliers and million dollar views with a tasting room that has probably appeared on the pages of Sunset Magazine. Then we visited Witness Tree, and I mean no disrespect, but the tasting room looks like a converted double-wide. My husband started tittering as we drove up. He loves to tease me about living in a trailer out in the middle of nowhere. This place is the perfect example of putting all your love and resources into the product rather than being overly concerned about appearances. The tasting room is perfectly fine, but the staff is amazing. Of all the wineries we visited, this was by far the best experience. It didn't feel like a rote explanation as she introduced each wine in the flight. The wine is stellar and so we left with several bottles and membership to their wine club. And the property is beautiful so I just might have to reconsider the whole city/condo thing. Score one for the country mouse.
