Winter's Hill Estate

This is a beautiful property, with a quiet, family-owned vibe and excellent service! Our pourer was amazing - he has the knowledge of a sommelier - and he made our experience extra special. I would recommend this winery to friends. We ended our day here and it definitely did not disappoint!

I hope our experience was an anomaly. Our first trip to the Willamette Valley. Made online reservations ($62.50 for 2 people) based on stellar google reviews. Lovely atmosphere but that was the only positive thing. The older gentleman server launched right into the script without a friendly greeting and the entire experience was over in 30 minutes (not the 90 minutes allotted on the reservation). The wine pours were the smallest I've ever encountered at any wine tasting. Glasses were not changed during the tasting, nor was there any place to pour out residual wine before the next pour was made into the same glass. The wines themselves were meh but that may just be a personal taste preference issue and not a knock on their wines (I don't have any professional training as a sommelier or vintner). When we left, nobody acknowledged us, thanked us, offered to answer any questions, or even tried to sell us anything. It was like an experience I'd expect at the Department of Motor Vehicles. I saw the owner and the winemaker (her son) schmoozing other tables and giving detailed explanations and a brief tour of the grounds, but we definitely did not get that experience. Perhaps this was because we pre-paid online already? Maybe because it was toward the end of the day on a Sunday (but other tables arrived after us)? Whatever the reason, I definitely won't be back. Just hope that our other wine tasting experiences in the Willamette Valley will be better.

We have been here for tastings twice and have had nothing but good wines. Great service also. The outdoor seating area is covered and has a spectacular view. The first time we went in March, we could sit outside with heaters. Burgundy style wines 👍

It’s always a great time going to Winter’s Hill. The owner and winemaker, Russell, lead us through the tasting experience and it could not have been better! Will recommend going to visit if you are ever in the Willamette Valley.
