Beautiful winery. Highly recommend. After the tasting we bought a bottle of the Pinot gris and walked around the winery. So many beautiful spots to lounge around. They also have a large greenhouse with many large tropical plants. It was a warm day but I bet this is the best spot to sip under on a cooler day.

Villa Catalana plays hard-to-get because it's only open 3 hours out of the week but boy was it worth the chase! I was trying to find wineries with nice views and sceneries for my recent trip to Portland and found this place which I'm glad I did! It's just about 40 minutes south of Portland so it's not far away at all. By the time we got here at 1pm on a Saturday the make-shift parking lot was already full of cars. It turns out there was a wedding going on at the time but the actual winery and tasting room was pretty busy as well. It costs $10 per person for a tasting of 7 wines which I think is a really good deal. We got our first glass and hung out in the area. There are places to walk around and just chill, from a bench to overlooking the entire area to a beach chair on a wooden floor on the lake. There's even a little dragon and a cave for you to take pictures and peek your head in. After we finished one tasting we would go back to a gentleman who would refill our glasses with the next wine on the list. My favorites were the 2018 Pinot Goir, the 2018 Grenache Rose, and the 2015 Red Blend. It was a really nice way to spend a relaxing and chill couple hours on a weekend, especially when the weather was great. If I lived in the area I could see myself coming here every so often. With $10 tastings it would totally be worth it!

While many wineries in Oregon are beautiful, nothing quite compares to Villa Catalana. It feels like being transported to Tuscany as you walk up the driveway to the rustic house with the beautiful garden. The tasting room is breath-taking, surrounded by tall plants underneath a see-through roof. The reservation fee covers several tastings, and you are free to roam the property as you please. Their bottles are relatively cheap as well, I just had to buy the rosé. The owners are very laid back, and let you treat the home as if it is your own. I can't wait to go back and try their wood-fired pizza.

I cannot recommend this winery enough. This was such a pleasant surprise for my boyfriend and I! We came to this winery not knowing much about it or about the wines & we left SO excited to go back again with friends and family. This winery is absolutely breathtaking. Like when I say it's beautiful, pictures don't even do it justice. It used to be a garden before being converted to a winery. The premise of wine tasting here was different then I had ever experienced! Instead of sitting and having your wine/tastings delivered to the table, you went up to a table, grabbed the first tasting, walked around and explored, and once you were ready for the next tasting you would head back to the table for the next one! There were so many areas to explore that we never got bored! There were 7-8 tastings, which we were surprised by as well! One of my favorite parts of this winery was how many places there were to sit...they put seating all around and in very unique areas. This winery is definitely worth the visit!

Listen: bookmark Villa Catallana Cellars so you actually remember to experience this remarkable venue with equally remarkable hosts. VCC is one of the most romantic settings I've experienced for a long time, and I'm a devotee of romantic settings. Yelpers note the Spanish church inspiration, whisperings of Tuscany, and the touch of whimsy throughout the gardens--I'm in 100% agreement: this place is magical. We enjoyed a glass of wine as we wandered through the gardens and drank in the views. When we returned to the terrace, the caterers had a themed buffet of grilled veggies, salads with edible flowers, and pork and chicken. It all tasted great. After dinner, the owners helped us get a group photo before we descended on the bocce court for several rounds of competitive recreation. In between events, owners Cindy and Burl shared their stories on how they created a masterpiece out of a pasture and a row of trees. Go for yourselves to enjoy and to learn or to just relax. In a season of wildfires, hurricanes, and political nightmares, Villa Catallana Cellars is a reminder that we can all be dreamers and that there's a lot of good in the world.

This place is amazing!!! Made a pit here and did not regret it. The property is out of this world, it felt like I was in another part of the world. I was surprised how large this winery is, there was so much to explore. I spent a good chunk of time in the greenhouse/atrium and had a wonderful conversation with the owner. The atrium was awesome- they have all kinds of cool plants, even a banana tree! Also, they had a little basket of cucumbers and zucchini for anyone to take. I did the wine tasting and was blown away by the Pinot Gris - which I am not usually the biggest fan of and actually ended up buying a bottle of. The staff was very friendly and we brought a dog with us- which we were unsure if that was allowed. Luckily, the owners love dogs and they also have water bowls out in the atrium for dogs. I highly recommend walking down to the pond and look at the super cool metal dragon. There are also super cool statues and columns everywhere. This was one of the most breathtaking wineries in Oregon for sure. There is lots of space which is nice, it's definitely a must for larger groups as they have beautiful covered tables everywhere that are shaded with a canopies of flowers and plants. I will definitely be back here!!!

Stopped into Villa Catalana today and I am so glad I did. Just a stones throw outside Portland (located in Oregon City), you feel like you've hopped on a plane to Europe. The scenery is lovely and there are numerous seating options available throughout the property. I ended up sitting on the pond and enjoying a picnic with a bottle of wine after a tasting. The tastings go for $10 each with 7 pours. A glass goes for $10, and most bottles are somewhere in the $20-25 range. You can bring a picnic and enjoy the scenery with your wines! It was a lovely way to spend a summer afternoon, and I highly recommend checking it out!

Villa Catalana Cellars was quite the experience-I almost thought I was in Italy rather than Oregon City. It was a perfect place to unwind and drink some great wines with friends after a long week of work. The wines were absolutely amazing-they have a PERFECT red blend. Even on a rainy Oregon day, this winery brought so much sunshine in floral surroundings. Definitely will come back in the summertime and bring a picnic to eat outside!

The doggies enjoyed their first wine-tasting

My friend bought a 6-person flight at a charity auction and took 5 of us to join her here for the afternoon. What a shock to cruise down the beautiful country lanes and end up at a vineyard that looks like a Spanish Castle. Or to me anyway. To others, it might look like a villa in Tuscany. Upon arriving, we entered an outdoor covered atrium area and were started with our first flight. The husband and wife owners were there, pouring, and were a delight to talk to. The villa had a $10 plate of appetizers but they had let us bring our own picnic, so we grabbed a large table outside, under an awning of foliage, on a patio over looking a lake, set out our cheeses and meats and then tasted our flight and bought extra glasses of wine, because we didn't want to ever leave. After we'd worn out our welcome, we took photos on the lower stone patio then walked around the grounds before leaving. Our pictures turned out really nivr, but it's one of those "You have to see it to believe it" kind of places because a photo can only give it so much justice. I'm nit sure how often they rotate the flights, but these are the lovely wines we tried that day. 2015 Pinot Gris - from Silverton 2015 Chardonnay - Chehalem mountains near Sherwood 2014 Pinot Noir - Molalla Villa Catalana Red - 70% Merlot, 30% Pinot Noir and a bit of Petite Syrah from Southern Oregon, the Willamette valley and Eastern Columbia 2013 Petite Sirah - Columbia Gorge Cascade Berry Fortified Wine Liquor - Grown here on site

Oswego Hills Winery is one of those special local places that perfectly captures the spirit of…read moreOregon wine country -- relaxed, welcoming, and absolutely beautiful. As members, we always look forward to visiting. The grounds are stunning year-round, with rolling vines, scenic views, and a peaceful atmosphere that makes you forget you're only minutes from town. The wines are consistently excellent -- smooth reds, crisp whites, and seasonal releases that always surprise in the best way. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely love what they do, which makes each visit feel personal. Tastings are casual and fun, never rushed, and the team is great at recommending pairings or new bottles to try. It's the perfect place to bring friends, enjoy a glass on the patio, or pick up a few bottles for the weekend. Oswego Hills truly feels like part of the community -- a place that combines great wine, great people, and an easygoing Oregon charm that keeps us coming back.

My husband asked me to go for a drive last month. It was a beautiful sunny day in Portland (yes a…read moresunny day)! We got in the convertible and he took me for a drive. It was beautiful as we turned down the road turning and twisting down the road with the green sprawling fields! I loved it. The cutest barn and property was coming up on my left and to my surprise, we pulled in and we visited Oswego Hills Winery. The property is quaint and romantic. Big white barn. Rolling green lawns. Flowers and barrels along with inviting Adirondack chairs. We went in and the team at Oswego Hills was welcoming and I decided to do a flight tasting. I had a very whites and a few reds. They were all lovely! I have to say I enjoyed every bottle. I ended up purchasing a bottle of their Viognier. It was delicious and I am equally a rose, white and red wine lover. I will definitely be back and can't wait visit again!!

I can't believe it took me this long to write a review. I beg the owner's, Molly and Daryl,…read moreforgiveness! Perhaps selfishly I was trying to keep it a secret to protect my stash access to some of my favorite wines in the region. Only 3 miles away from our home, Twill has been our local favorite winery for over 5 years. A small and intimate venue, every attention to detail has been considered and engineered into their presentation and guest experience. They treat you like a member of the family, caring much more about you than profit. Rare in this world. It has been the location of my daughter's wedding and engagement party. And no doubt more family or professional events if/when we're in need. Molly and Daryl are the most charming and warm "neighbor vintners" we know. No pretentiousness. All passion and commitment to excellence. So let's get to the wine. Our favorites have been the Steelhead Pinot (retired), their 2021 & 2023 Color of Orange and their 2022 Willamette Chardonnay. Add to that - the 2019 Johan Vineyards and Bracken Pinot Noirs.....WOW! And they also recently added fabulous appetizers (we loved the almonds and olives) - you could spend a beautiful satiated afternoon with your favorite people - leaving with rested and glowing happy faces. The world needs more of those. Wouldn't you agree? So make the world better and make Twill your staycation getaway for the day!:)
