The staff were all excellent, everyone very knowledge, polite, & prompt. I enjoyed their larger than most wineries menu of food, lots of options! And last but not least the views! The main building sits above the valley and overlooks the rolling fields below, stunning!

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.

My mother and I went here in the summer of 2023 and really loved our visit. As a birthday treat my mother bought me a wine tasting for two with a special charcuterie board through Groupon as a birthday gift again this year to use in the summer or around my birthday in September. We weren't able to come back until late fall, but the nice thing about the Groupon is that it lasted for six months. It's a fabulous deal because you get a tasting for two and a chaucuterie cheese and cracker plate to share for an affordable price. This place is one of the few vineyards that has a unique experience like this and a good offer through Groupon. We came back this November (2025) and Crystal helped us. She was so kind and showed us true hospitality. I felt like we were with a good, loyal friend. The wine was fantastic, but when we explained that we only wanted it for our wine tasting and didn't need any to take home, she wasn't upset or bothered. She truly wanted us to enjoy our tasting experience and create a special memory. We talked about wine, cats, and aging. All the important things in life. The cheese and crackers were really nice. We were almost done eating our delights when she offered us more pita chips and walnuts that actually came right from their walnut trees. They were so good. I should have asked if they sold them there. The drive out to the winery is beautiful too. I would definitely recommend this winery to all my wine loving friends.

My partner and I visited Elk Cove as part of a belated Valentine's celebration (who wants to…read morecompete with the masses to get a reservation?) We had an absolutely delightful time. The other reviews are not kidding when they praise the view! The space is absolutely gorgeous-- the tasting room feels luxurious and comfortable, and tables are not too close together. But wow, the view takes the cake. You overlook the vineyards, and even though it was cold and cloudy we were blown away. What really impressed me, though, was the service. Our sommelier, Adam, was incredibly personable and a joy to talk to. Further, he was incredibly knowledgeable about all aspects of the wine-- not just the tasting notes and region. He knew a ton about the history of the land/winemaking in this specific part of Oregon and the ecological preservation efforts of winemakers in the area. He produced photos and diagrams of different soil types and explained how they impact the taste of the wine when we did side-by-sides. When I mentioned I had a chemistry background and expressed interest in the chemistry of the winemaking process, he was able to speak in detail about their wines and the ways they are made (probably because he's actually worked in the cellars, too, not just in customer service). As I have mentioned in other reviews, I don't always feel like I get a great customer service experience at wineries because my partner and I are pretty young and because I often have on alternative makeup. We were given A+ treatment here, and I want to thank Adam for making the experience feel special. The wine was good. We got a bonus pour of one of their sparkling wines to start, which was lovely and a nice romantic touch since we were celebrating. I liked their Chardonnay (concrete egg and VERY light oak which is probably why-- I don't like a heavy, buttery Chard) and was surprised it was so good-- it was a seven-year-old white which is unusual, but it really worked. We got side-by-side pours of the pinots, which was great-- I love when wineries do this! It makes it so much easier to taste the different notes. We ended up getting a bottle of their Riesling. The tasting was $25, which is an absolute steal for the level of service we got. Truly a wonderful time, and we look forward to returning.

The great thing…read moreabout a winery like this is that it is small... it is full of a family of people that love making wine, and are more focused on sharing exactly *THAT* than landscaped pseudo-gardens with bad sculptures and awful chintzy cookbooks in the tasting room (yes I am looking at you Napa) I was at this event for the new (http://www.theallison.com) inn/spahotel that is being built there in Newberg. The wineries are backing it like crazy, and it was a treat to try out Atticus and spend time with them. Their winery is stunning, their wines are divine. This is a very, VERY new winery. I think the stuff we are tasting is their first crush. Beyond the name being that of one of my favourite literary characters of all time, the wine lives up to the solid, consistent, trustworthy demeanor of the namesake from To Kill a Mockingbird.... I think most of the grapes are from Yamhill Springs and Hawk's View Vineyard - they released only a couple hundred cases of each, with the reserve wine being a little darker. For a pinot it is somewhat refreshing, because it isn't unecessarily over the top or huge, attempting to compensate for lack of depth. Because of that both the earth and floral are subtle, and the oak isn't too penetrating. Anyhoo... small, small, small family winery, with extremely limited production. Like... teeny. Their youtube is adorable. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_anmPQshv0&eurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.atticuswine.com%2Fvideo.html&feature=player_embedded
