Unforgettable Experience at Domaine Serene Our visit to Domaine Serene was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we arrived, we were immersed in an atmosphere of elegance, knowledge, and world class hospitality. Michael guided our tasting, and he was absolutely exquisite. His deep knowledge of the wines, vineyards, and terroir was impressive, he asked the right questions and tailored our tasting experience perfectly. It was fascinating to learn about how the soil and climate influence the grapes, something I had never fully appreciated before. The winery itself is breathtaking. Nestled in the rolling hills of Oregon, Domaine Serene offers stunning views that stretch for miles. The limestone tasting rooms add a unique, almost ethereal ambiance, making the experience feel even more special. And knowing that they have a sister vineyard in France only adds to the prestige and craftsmanship behind their wines. Every wine we tasted was exceptional, rich, complex, and beautifully balanced. Joining their wine club was an easy decision, as it offers more benefits than any other I’ve encountered. Plus, the food pairings were spot on. We indulged in oysters, a beautifully curated charcuterie board, and artisan breads, all of which elevated our tasting experience even further. I truly can’t say enough great things about Domaine Serene. Whether you’re a seasoned wine enthusiast or just beginning to explore the world of wine, this is an experience you won’t want to miss. I highly encourage everyone to visit—you’ll be captivated from the first sip to the last.

Amazing experience doing the tasting flight at Domaine Droughin. As others have noted, the location and view are breathtaking, and it was nice to walk around afterwards. The tasting itself was a wonderful experience with our host friendly, extremely knowledgeable about the wine she was pouring and the company history. The wine, as advertised, is a Burgundian take on Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, and it hits at a very high quality for me. I definitely plan to come back as they release more.

Just wanted to share a quick review on Stoller Family Estate. We spent a week touring numerous wineries but there had to be a stand out and Stoller was it. The venue was beautiful and the vibe was relaxed and easy going. From the moment we walked in for a tasting we felt their emphasis on customer service. Sandy led us from wine to wine, explaining the characteristics of each one and taking time for our many questions. Her knowledge of the Stoller family and their history was truly impressive. The wines we sampled were excellent, and the service and overall vibe of the winery made it a truly special experience.

The cave tasting was a wonderful experience, thanks to our fantastic guide, Sean. He proved to be very knowledgeable about the vintages, answering all our questions with ease. He also went above and beyond by allowing the group to taste some fantastic selections from other locations.

Would absolutely recommend this wine tasting as it was our favorite experience out of 4 different places in the Willamette Valley. The place is absolutely gorgeous and the seating is so intimate overlooking the valley of vineyards with lots of shade. The staff was incredible and when we said we only had an hour to split a tasting before our next reservation they were attentive and it didn’t feel rushed and they were so knowledgeable. The wine was exquisite and I wish we would’ve cancelled our reservation at domaine serene and stayed for another glass or two.

Definitely worth a stop when in wine country. So much more than wine... olive oils, lavender, cutie gift shop, nursery. BUT if you are going to enjoy the wine, grab a couple of Adirondack chairs, sit back and relax. Such a beautiful view.

First time visiting and despite the colder than usual weather in June, Matt provided a great wine tasting experience on their patio. The “Gonzalez” Chardonnay was extraordinary. We we impressed with all the tastings and will definitely return.

We had our wedding at Vista Hills and HIGHLY recommend it!! The vineyard was an absolutely stunning backdrop for our ceremony and reception. Polly and Katie, wedding coordinators at Vista, were more than just day-of coordinators. They helped us throughout the entire planning process, answering questions, and following through to make sure that everything went smoothly. Our guests haven't stopped talking about how beautiful our wedding was. Everything was beautiful, professional, and the wedding went off without a hitch. Can't stop looking at the photos from our wedding as they are absolutely stunning. Thank you Vista Hills!

Are you looking for the quintessential wine tasting experience? One that pleases all your senses: satisfies your taste buds, has a smooth, polished touch, is lush and easy on the eyes, wafts of fresh air with hints of floral aromatics and is acoustically pleasing; effortlessly relaxing? Then I’ve got good news. It exists for you to discover on a pastoral scenic drive up a country road through the Dundee Hills. Nested up on a well-placed overlook is the Durant Vineyards Tasting room. When I was there it was quite busy in the weekend and yet it had plenty of parking and ample seating. No waiting or wondering when I’d be served. On my visit I found that Durant is one of the most iconic wine tasting spots in the region. Durant Vineyards is now on the top of my list for visiting friends and family as a perfect place to show-off the local wine tasting experience. As a local Durant is a sure-to-please location to enjoy the bounty of our vines and seasons. What did I love the most? The breath taking views are spectacularly framed by the patio design and landscaping. The architecture marries easy-going casual elegance and a plush legacy feel with a down-to-earth vibe. This vineyard site really captures the best elements of what the Pacific Northwest is known for. The destination evokes a fresh, clean modern context but with a nod to preserving history and capturing the spirit of its roots. Are you planning a romantic event or a casual get-together? Are you celebrating a birthday or anniversary? Or do you just want an easy drive out to the country where you’ll be rewarded with spectacular views, comfortable seating and the best vintages to sip on just for showing up? The service is friendly and the grounds are impeccable. Durant looks like it’s an all-season opportunity to enjoy the fruits of good vines. The sprawling umbrella covered patio is ideal for the long days of summer into fall. The wetter winter and spring offers indoor seating in a lovely decor that includes a gift shop and a wonderful collection of horse lovers art. This setting adjoins the Red Ridge Farms nursery and gardens that feature walking trails, an olive mill and lodging that is a real treat. Durant Vineyards Tasting Room is very accessible and accommodating. Whether you opt for sparkling water, intoxicating bubbles or a brilliant wine flights they all include: a delightful atmosphere, a casual mood, tasty nibbles and natures beauty coupled with a welcoming hospitality. At Durant up in the Dundee Hills I found a place I’d like to visit more often. But even-if you only come once it’s a place not to be missed. Whatever direction you are coming from it’s worth the drive.

This was one of our top two cellars while visiting the Willamette region. Incredibly well made wines! Absolutely delightful from service to education about their wines and helpfulness when asking questions. So happy we purchased our favorites and already received shipment!

Such a cute historical park. There's a playground, gazebo and benches. Right now (12/23) they have an ornament for 1 of the walkways and a picture frame, perfect for your own holiday pictures. (Special thanks to everyone that's involved in the decorations. It was fun to see and get pics of my kids at.)

Schedule an appointment and take the tour! Jeff was our tour guide who walked us thru the process of quality oil pressing. This unique opportunity to be educated about the process, the history, passion behind the quality. The love for Miss Penny has created a wonderful opportunity for us. They even offer overnight stays. After learning about the types of trees, we even purchased a pair to grow at home. Salts, seasonings, candles, vinegar, oils, plants, olive wood spoons and boards are available in the gift shop. There are Wine Club options that include pantry as well. We look forward to going back to this hidden treasure.

One of Yamhill County Oregon's best wineries! Delicious Easter Brunch, outstanding service and staff. Great views of Mt. Hood from this location!

Over the holidays we had an opportunity to stop in to taste the current releases at Remy Wines in Dayton, Oregon. We are Amici Members, so we already love the wines, Remy, and their sensibility and approach for wine making. On that sunny afternoon, when the clouds opened up allowing it to shine through, we made to short drive from McMinnville to Dayton. It was quiet because of the holiday, but we were not the only ones there. There were 3 other small groups all enjoying the wines and the Remy vibe that is present in the country home that is the taste room on the estate. Jorge Q. S. Greeting and welcomed us! Thank you, Jorge!! They shared all the latest news; the recent press, awards, and recognition the wines and winery has been receiving, which is always fun!! We tasted through the Black Heart Sparkling, the ‘23 Three Wives Pinot Gris, the newest in the line up, the ‘22 Unmet Desire Pinot noir, the ‘21 Estate Lagrein, and the ‘21 Remy Gold Star, all knockouts! Fabulous 🥂🍷🍷🍷🍷 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 I cannot recommend Remy Wines enough! Go visit! Order only line! Request it from your favorite wine shop! Or order it when you see it on the wine list!! You can’t go wrong and the wine pairs beautifully with food, and also easy to enjoy when you’re in the mood 🌈💖

This place is a true gem. It was the perfect stop during a long stressful day. Lots of cute things to browse, clean restroom, but best of all the food! All 4 of us got a kids ice cream cone. They were only $1 each. I couldn't believe it. I got a coffee too and my MIL purchased a cute antique and a fun little pouch. We loved Pam and McKenzie at the ice cream counter so much. Their kindness really helped brighten my day. Pam helped my 2 year old finish her ice cream. It was adorable. Thank you so much Dayton Mercantile! You are a treasure!
