Artist Block Tasting Room

Oh my goodness! My husband surprised me with a tasting at Artist Block for my birthday and it was the best surprise ever. After checking-in in the front, they pull back a set of curtains and you enter into a beautiful art gallery! From the swanky decor to vibey music, this beautifully thoughtful winery is a dream come true. The staff were vibrant and lovely, just like the ambiance and wine. 100% coming back!

Instagram brought my wife and I to Artist Block (AB), and let's just say their social media game is on point. Super-savvy. Fun. More specifically, it was the Bengal kittens that reeled us in. Kittens and Wine? How cool is this? We arrived to this incredible tasting room in what looks like a giant treehouse from the inside, and Brittany was the perfect ambassador. OK, so: every box is checked on our initial hit at AB. But - the most important question: what about the wine? The answer: it is wonderful. We enjoyed each flight taste; slightly different from the usual fare of wines found in the area, but every single one was approachable. We took some wine home. Bottom line, the entire experience from beginning to end was amazing, and this is what wine tasting and the wine industry should be about. The whole experience is a vibe, and the wine is spot on. Thanks to Brittany, the Bengals, and the artist-owner and her whole Team who creates and allows it all to flow naturally. We will be back.

Such a fun and unique place — the perfect addition to a Willamette tasting itinerary. Come here in the afternoon, when you need a pick-me-up! The decor/art is so cool, the music is fun, the staff is friendly, and it’s just a good time. Wines are great too, with a bit more variety of flavors than some other local spots — although the Pinot is still a standout! Fun gift shop too :)

5 Stars – Come for the kittens, stay for the wine (and maybe the kittens again) Went with two friends for a wine tasting + Bengal kitten experience (because why not combine alcohol and tiny chaos?). It was everything we didn’t know we needed. Meg, our server, was effortlessly cool— She set the tone from the start: casual, fun, zero pretension. From the moment we walked in, she made us feel like VIP regulars. She was casual, funny, super accommodating, and just an all-around vibe-setter. The tasting room itself doesn’t feel like your standard wine country fare—it’s got this fresh, modern, artsy aesthetic that makes you want to stay all day. Between the art on the walls, the music playing, and the energy in the space, it felt more like a chic downtown lounge than a traditional winery, and we loved that. The wine? Delicious. We especially loved Rainbow Juice and This Is A Good Sign—both went down a little too easily. We each left with two bottles and no regrets. 10/10 would recommend. Especially if you like kittens and drinking wine mid afternoon on a weekday in what feels like a personal hip art museum. Thank you Meg & Artist block for the experience xx

My mother and I visited Artist Block in November of 2024, and I cannot recommend this spot enough! The wine was delicious, you can get a side of gummy bears, the artwork at the tasting room was fascinating, and the staff was amazing. The view from the large window was so cozy. We had the best time!

Artist Block is hands down one of the best winery experiences I’ve had! From the moment you walk in, the beautiful and fun decor immediately sets it apart from other local wineries. Every detail feels creative and intentional, giving the whole space an unforgettable, artistic vibe. The wines were absolutely incredible — every pour was a new favorite! Britt took such great care of us, providing amazing service that made the experience even more special. And we absolutely loved meeting their adorable Bengal cat, Andy Warhol, who added such a unique and charming touch to the day. If you’re looking for a winery that offers not only fantastic wines but also an atmosphere you’ll want to stay in forever, Artist Block is it. Can’t wait to come back!

From the welcome wine, to the art displays, this place is such a gem. We had such fun time tasting the wines and enjoying charcuterie while relaxing and taking in the atmosphere. Highly recommended checking this place out if unique wines and fun are your thing.

We had a great experience at Artist Block - the location was beautiful, and on a nice day they open the sliding doors for a soft cross breeze that was just so delightful. We chose to do a tasting with their young Bengal kittens Jacob and Edward and it was non stop laughs. The wine was funky and bright, perfect for pet nat/orange wine connasuers. We also got to witness a bottle being sabered which was entertaining. 😆 We'll definitely be back!

Eye candy! The space was gorgeous, comfortable, and the art made the space so fun and interesting. On top of that, the wines we tasted were so good! 10/10 recommend...

What a special find! Anna was so gracious to sit and talk with us about her passion for wine, travel, and art. Letting us love on her sweet cats was an added treat. This is definitely a unique stop to be savored and appreciated. A must see!!!

I think this is my new favorite spot, and I don't think I will be alone in this feeling. A friend and I stopped in on a Saturday afternoon for a tasting and we spent hours enjoying the art, lovely tasting room staff (Carrie and Brittany), and wines. The wines are so delicious and unique- especially if you are feeling a bit burnt out on Pinots and Chardonnays. We were greeted with a delightful PetNat, and tasted through their flight with Chenin Blanc, Blaufrankish, The tasting room is special- it's an art gallery that also feels like a cozy place to sit and chat- views from both sides and art to peruse and take home too! I can't wait to bring more friends here.

Outstanding "fresh," new addition to the Newberg/Dundee area! Finally had the chance to visit this gem yesterday evening and we could not have been more impressed. From the venue, the wines, the eclectic art surrounding you, the upbeat music, to the superb customer service from Brittany, we could not have asked for more. Even the charcuterie for 2 was generous. Out with the old, hard, stuffy dining table and chairs. In with the cozy, colorful and comfortable living room-style seating. Be prepared for a little higher than usual tasting fees (which are waived with purchases) if you want the full experience but it's worth every penny. You may also just order a bottle or glass if you'd prefer. They don't rush you out after 4 meager pours of the same varietal. Finally, a new winery doing its own thing in the area. So refreshing, and can't wait to go back!

Omg- you just have to go. This place is a sweet little surprise nestled in amid a bunch of traditional wineries. My husband and I made our way here after the usual wine tasting at another winery and when I walked into this place I didn't want to leave. This is a fresh take on a wine experience. It would be a great place to make a reservation and meet up with a group of friends. Comfortable, fun and the wine may have unpretentious names, like Yummy Yummy, but it easily competes with some of my favorite wines. They also have a variety of events worth looking into. I'll be back.

Love love love it here!!! Can't wait to bring my girlfriends for a bachelorette wine tasting. It's an art gallery, meets wine bar, meets kitty cafe with the cute new additions! How tell I don't think it gets any better than this. Yummy wine and sweet service!

This was our second time visiting, and more people need to experience this place. The art, atmosphere, and wine are all unique! Brittany is a fabulous host who is very kind and engaging! We will be going again and telling anyone who'll listen that this is the spot to go if you visit wine country

Visited Artist Block on a whim and so glad I did. The space is hip and vibey, filled with extremely fun and unique art, and of course, lots of tasty wine. Anna was very engaging (how fun to be immersed in art narrated by the artist herself!) and everyone was extremely warm and welcoming. Absolutely a must-visit on your wine itinerary!

Great Wine! Great space! Great Vibe! Tasting in a very cool space Surrounded by art. Greeted at the door with our first flight in hand, welcomed by their amazing staff. Great presentation and very good wines. We really loved it!

One my favorite wineries in the Willamette Valley. The unique art, hospitable staff, tasty wines, and creative events are top-notch. They are incredibly welcoming and passionate about what they do. I highly recommend it and will definitely be back!

love this unique, vivid, exciting winery! perfect balance of art, tasty wine and tall serene trees. the service was so lovely, brittany was kind and attentive to our needs, checking in to make sure the vibe was exactly r

What a welcome addition to Dundee's incredible portfolio of wineries. Friendly and knowledge staff, gorgeous tasting room, delicious wine, and world class art. I can't wait to come back! Cheers and keep up the outstanding work!

Very nice place, we had so much fun trying all different kinds of wine. Definetely will come back again.

We had an incredible time last night at Artist Block. Their wines are a little pricier than some but worth every penny. The art throughout the venue is delightful, and the comfy but elegant living room seating is a treat. Their concept of showing a movie on Friday evenings, with a tub of popcorn and a glass of one of their wines is yet another thing that sets them apart from the many other wonderful wineries in Dundee, in the heart of Oregon wine country. Hats off to the chef! We had dinner with wine pairings and were impressed by his creativity and the quality of each course.

The food and wine were amazing. The staff and chef were extremely friendly. It was a fabulous time and would highly recommend going.

I came across Artist Block on IG last year and was immediately intrigued to see a very different sort of tasting room - the focus on spotlighting up and coming winemakers combined with the owners own art and representation of also up and comers in the art world is refreshing as hell. The pop/street/zeitgeisty curation of mixed media art, sculptural work, photography and paintings is right up my alley. I dragged my husband to one of their Friday film series - we saw Elf with a chef prepared dinner and wine pairing and it was such a fun evening out that we immediately signed up for a few more. Brittany and Carrie who run the tasting room were super welcoming and knowledgeable. So stoked to have this less than ten minutes from our house - when we moved to Dundee we thought we'd miss city and culture. Thanks to Anna Sweet and Artist Block for bringing it to us! Now we just have to get back there for an actual tasting.
