Currently reminiscing about my trip to Southern Oregon last year, and having dinner at Belle Fiore Winery was definitely one of the highlights of my trip!
I initially stopped in to do a tasting but learned that their tasting room had just closed for the day. The gentleman at the tasting bar directed me upstairs to their dining room and told me that I could enjoy full glasses of wine and possibly dinner upstairs too. It wasn't what I had initially hoped for, but since I was already there, I figured why not. Best. Decision. Ever!!!
First of all, let me say that Belle Fiore's estate is stunning. It's grand, it's bougie, it's classy, and I loved it. One of those places where you could literally lick the bathroom floor because the restrooms are just as gorgeous as their damn dining room! I know, I know... COVID! Hey, it was a joke... simmer down! But seriously, the decor is simply immaculate. They were having a wedding party in one of the private rooms and I peaked in. I could totally see myself having a wedding reception here. Just beautiful!
I made my way to their dining room and they were having live music going on. The host asked me if I wanted to dine inside or outside. Of course outdoors for yours truly. I actually ended up coming at the perfect time because the sun was setting major. Those colors in the sky were PERFECT!
Okay, let's get on with the dinner and wine. Shoshana was a DOLL! Gave me some great dinner recommendations and I took heed to all of them of course. She suggested the Petite Porchetta and Belle Siderio Red Blend pairing. The Siderio Red Blend by itself was a bit too bold for my taste. But, when paired with the Porchetta? A match MADE baby! It was INCREDIBLE!!! Let's talk about this Petite Porchetta; juicy, succulent, beautifully plated, and perfectly paired. This meal was just perf! This plate was roaring with the most delicious flavors and aromas. I scraped my plate... CLEAN! Mm hmm. Dinner was fabulous!
And that service... wow! Superb from start to finish. Both Shoshana and Michael were total standouts. Loved their hospitality! The ambience here is so lovely. The main reason for 4 stars instead of 5 was because the wine that I tasted wasn't really thrilling. It wasn't bad, but nothing worth gagging over either. I'm thinking that an actual tasting here might change my mind. Either way, everything else was pretty impressive. Hoping that I'll be able to return to their beautiful estate once the fires subside.
