Coeur de Terre Vineyard was a nice surprise. We had never heard about this winery nor did we plan…read moreto visit this space while in the Willamette Valley; but fortunately, we randomly found out about it and were so glad to check it out on a Sunday afternoon. There are so many different wineries around the Willamette Valley, so it's difficult to choose where to go. And of course, the most popular ones will likely be booked up. But my partner found Coeur de Terre and made a reservation for us to visit this winery in the late afternoon, which ended up being a delightful experience. The vineyard is located far from the city, up on a hill, surrounded by other vineyards and orchards. Just the setting itself is worth visiting. The winery with its own vineyard is spacious, with a large, open building that's open for the public. However, where you want to sit is outside on the patio, which overlooks the hills and vineyard. We had a reservation for 4PM on a Sunday, which was the last hour before closing. We tried six different wines: a chardonnay, pinot gris, rose, syrah and two pinot noirs. Now, we came to Oregon wine country because we wanted to explore pinot noirs, which is king in this part of the country. And I can say that the pinot noirs at Coeur de Terre were solid. I normally would not choose a pinot noir, but Coeur de Terre made me a believer. They grow all of their grapes here at the vineyard, and what I liked most about the pinot noirs is that they were more robust than other pinot noirs I've had. I like my reds more bold and heavy, and these pinot noirs were heavier. We had a wonderful experience here, exploring the pinot noirs and taking in the views and setting. The employee who helped us out was friendly, too. I recommend visiting if you're in the area. Tasting is $25 per person, and is waived with a $75 bottle purchase per person.

They have amazing charcuterie and Mezza plates that are really fresh and delicious. The cheese, dips, and chocolate are so divine. The food is fantastic - so even if you don't drink wine or are cutting back, I still highly recommend this winery for food too. Most of the food is either locally sourced or is a higher quality product like the gourmet chocolates.The wine selection is varied, however, it's still good wine. My favorite is the sparkling. You feel like home when you visit. I've been here twice. The first time last year was extremely magical with fabulous service and a beautiful journey. Our second time (in 2026) service was a bit slow and our server seemed a bit put off and tired. However, by the end of our stay she warmed up and we felt more connected and comfortable. I really thought I wrote a review for this place before, but I just don't see it on here. I definitely recommend this place. 5 stars, cheers and sip! Epic patio views that are dog friendly abound here or you can get cozy by the fireplace inside. They host neighborhood events to support charities too. The weekend after our visit, they were planning a "pups and pinot" - meet and greet with neighboring dogs from a close animal shelter. I really wish this place was closer to Portland - Salem peeps got Lucky by having this open near their city off the beaten path. Definitely put this winery on your radar! Such a beautiful summertime favorite.

I'm more of a fan of sweeter wines and even though they don't offer super fruity, sweet wines, the ones I tasted were really light and easy to drink. The area is known for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay so you'll find a lot of those on this area.

The winery has a very small selection of wines, but all are crafted from their local Pinot Noir grapes; I found them compelling. Be sure to tase the Blanc de Pinot Noir.

I did the Provisions Experience, and the man who "hosted" me (and two others from California, I…read moredidn't know them, I was traveling solo) was a bit arrogant and unwilling to engage in real conversation. It seemed his goal was to just give a "set piece." To move me in and out as fast as possible, even though the winery was rather unoccupied that day. He did warm up a bit when I ordered an extra bottle for the three of us to share, but when the other couple agreed to split the cost, he didn't split it (it was fully on my bill). The Sparkling Rose was really really good. I came from the midwest for a month, hoping to learn a lot from each winery (and I emailed each winery months ahead of time, expressing my goals), and I visited 15+ wineries in that time. This was the second most disappointing, and the most expensive. There are so many better options--go elsewhere. This was one of 5 wineries that I didn't join their club. I left feeling like I was surplus grapes, the third cluster that is cut off during flowering.

It is the perfect spot to spend a lazy summer day. Or any day! As you enter the driveway, there is a beautiful iron gate which welcomes you to the long driveway past the pond and up to the gorgeous stone building that houses the tasting room and event space. We were there during the summer and the fragrant roses were in bloom, along with other flowers, adding the perfect pop of color. They have created various seating spots in the shade of trees, either tables or settees and comfy chairs. Maysara considers themselves stewards of the land, and as such, respect the land so it remains for future generations. They are a fully biodynamic and sustainable winery. For example, they grow a variety of medicinal and dynamic flowers & herbs that are turned into compost teas to fertilize and create nutrient rich soil without chemicals or pesticides. The resulting wines are truly a result of nature, combining the Persian vines, rich soil, and climate of the Oregon Coastal Range foothills. We all opted for a flight that started with three whites and finished with three reds. I'm usually a big, bold red fan so was surprised and delighted to fall in love with their Pinot Gris. It was crisp and light, so refreshing on a warm summer anfternoon. I also loved their sparkling rose. actually, I liked every wine we sampled! Each of the wines are named after various Persian legends, and as the wines were poured, we heard the stories of the wine's namesake, and learned about the grapes and process. It was very enjoyable. Maysara is a special place. I can't wait to visit again for more delicious wine and to take in the peaceful space they created.
