My Son and I stopped here on our way back to Beaverton from Pacific City. What I really wanted to…read moredo was taste their Ransom Brandy, which at a 22 year ago, was smooth and satisfying. That small bottle wasn't cheap, but you get what you pay for. The guy hosting us was friendly, welcoming, and informative. I hope to come back to try some of the wine.

UPDATE 7/9/25 Almost…read morehate to give this away because I think that the sale is only until they run out, but I want to share the wealth-- apparently a lot of their bottles are on sale this summer for $6.50 whites and $8.00 reds. This is older vintages and what looks to be wine from the label they just acquired (Firesteed I believe?) Great stuff, though, and hard to beat those prices! Also, the woman pouring for us on July 4th was absolutely lovely. Not only was she very warm and knowledgeable, she called me less than five minutes after I left to help me get my jacket and purse since I left them behind. Their little speakeasy room is a great spot to taste, as is the garden this time of year.

The staff are extremely knowledgeable about the local wines in the Willamette Valley area. I concentrated on the locally grown grapes (they do use California grapes too). Very light. No hard sell. Dog friendly too!

Great Italian winery!…read more They have spacious inside seating and two patios, both undercover. This winery is located right off the road and has views all around, The service was very personable and attentive. The guy helping was knowledgeable on the wines and history of the winery. We weren't too sure what we wanted to order and he made great recommendations and allowed us to taste couple before buying. They offer food for purchase, but also saw some people bring their own food. I would definitely go again and I get the impression that many people return regularly.

I have a friend in the wine club and feel privileged to be her Plus One at the pick up parties. The food is top notched and beautifully paired with the specific wines in the pick up releases. The recipes are even included from the event and easy to follow when one wants to recreate the special meal at home. The outdoor patio seating is covered for the warm summer days and heaters and blankets are brought out for the fall parties. The only complaint would be, if a member, not always easy to get a time/date in particular. The upside is, when you can't, you can return on a later date typically, for a complementary cheese board to accompany your tastings.

Brought my boyfriend's parents here, it was their first wine tasting and the owners were so sweet. Because it was a Sunday they said we could try anything on the menu, not just their tastings menu. She was great about educating us on the different wines, the difference between aging them in oak and stainless steel and helping us find wines we would enjoy. They also had live jazz music as well and plenty of places to sit. My boyfriend's parents ended up getting 4 bottles and kept saying what a great tome they had. With it being their first time, I'm so glad at how friendly and informative everyone was here.

Vitis Ridge Winery, Mount Angel, WA - August 23, 2025…read more Wow, what a great experience we had here on a hot August afternoon - 98 degrees outside, but a cool 70 degrees indoors with Amanda and Lili as our wine hosts! Admittedly, we had the place almost entirely to ourselves - I guess a lot of folks headed to the Oregon State fair in Salem on this hot vaporous day. So thank you wine God for an outstanding private wine tasting experience. Amanda led us down a path of whites leading into reds, with a rose' or two in between. Not a bad wine along the trail, with a few exceptional examples of flavors that Bachus would be proud to call his own - white and red blends with Sauv Blanc and Malbec leading the charge. 10$ wine tasting fee per person - waived with a 2 bottle purchase per person.

They encourage bringing your own picnic/snack which we did, but they have a $20 charcuterie board for sale as well. The tastings were $15 for 6 tastes (3 whites and 3 reds). Service was friendly, unhurried and knowledgeable. The wines are made with their own grapes and they have some interesting grape combinations (like Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc and Pinot Noir which resulted in a fruity red wine) But I eventually opted for the single grape variety and bought a bottle of Chardonnay and a bottle of Pinot Noir.

They told us all about the wines, made us feel like family, and when no Ubers or taxis would come get us to bring us to our dinner reservations, one of the lovely women from the vineyard drove us.

What a great discovery! Whiskey Hill is the perfect spot to enjoy a flight or glass of wine. This…read moresmall, family run winery offers tastings in the gazebo that overlooks the vineyard, complete with a fire pit and chandelier under the open wood structure. The hanging baskets of petunias add a splash of vibrant color and help create a lovely setting. Just 35 minutes from Portland, it's a quick and easy escape from the City, immediately transporting you to a vastly different setting that makes you feel like you are hours away! The owner and winemaker, Chris, is super friendly and enthusiastic about making delicious and affordable wines. They offer several flight options and being a fan of reds, I chose the flight that was all red, varying from light to strong, finishing with a blend. Flights are between $12-15, which is so reasonable, and he waives the flight charge if you buy a bottle. We both loved the red blend so each bought the Reliable Red for $28. Running a restaurant or bar during Covid-19 with the ever changing restaurant laws is challenging. Having this outdoor covered space means you can still enjoy a glass of wine and the beauty of the vineyards while supporting a hardworking local business. Service was fantastic! We really enjoyed our time here and the wines. Definitely local grapes which means Pinots, and even though my preference is for big and bold, I thoroughly enjoyed all of the wines. In addition to the wine tasting, they have another structure for hosting weddings and events. One whole wall opens up which means it classifies for outdoor dining - so no worries about having to cancel if you plan an event here. We are really looking forward to coming back in a month or so when the weather is warmer, the vines are more mature and the flowers abundant. As we left, Chris gave us a map and recommendations for other wineries to visit, all that were already on our agenda which made us feel good about our choices. Thanks to the Yelpers and their reviews which put Whiskey Hill on my radar!
