Coeur De Terre Vineyard

We had a wonderful time at Coeur De Terre. Joanne, our host, was very friendly and did a great job describing the wines and the vineyards history. The owners' dog Cece kept us company as we sat on the patio and overlooked the vines. We ended up buying 2 bottles and are looking forward to enjoying them soon. Would highly recommend visiting!

As a Wine Guide in the Willamette Valley ( A Great Oregon Wine Tour), when I have clients in McMinville, I always take them take them to this winery, as they always have a great experience! And the view from the outside deck is amazing !

What a beautiful vineyard! Great wines and great people. We traveled from VA and only had time to visit 1 winery while in Oregon - we definitely picked the right one! Highly recommend!

This is my favorite winery in McMinnville. The wine is fantastic, the tasting room is beautiful and inviting, the staff are friendly, the views and atmosphere is serene. Since covid, they prefer that you make reservations before you come. We stayed a little too long and the staff was super friendly, informative, and relaxed. I’m super lucky that my in-laws are longtime wine club members—I’m super glad they introduced me to this Oregon gem that I try to visit every time I come to McMinnville. If you choose to give a thumbs-up 👍🏽 or not, I hope you found my review helpful!

We attended Beatles Night on Labor Day. Ten bands, food catered by Biscuits & Pickles and lovely wines. The setting couldn't be any more beautiful. The staff and crew were friendly an efficient. We will visit again!

We love being members at this winery. The workers are so friendly and knowledgeable (especially JoAnne and Katie). Thank you, all. The place seems to be LGBTQIA2S+ friendly, whether they advertise that or not. Nothing like sitting on the outside deck on a sunny Sunday! Heaven. 💜🤩🍷

My friend and I had an absolutely fantastic trip to Coeur De Terre Vineyard during our recent trip to McMinneville. Everything we tasted was both fantastic and unique, and we learned a lot about wine growing in Oregon on the tour we took. Every Coeur De Terre employee we interacted with was also fantastic. I would definitely put Coeur De Terre on your "must visit" list when you visit Oregon's wine country.

Wonderful experience. Beautiful tasting room and property. You can tell how passionate the family is about the terroir and maintaining a fully organic farm. A must visit!

Our visit to Coeur de Terre was truly exceptional, thanks to Jim. From the moment we arrived, Jim's genuine hospitality and extensive knowledge of the winery's offerings stood out. He guided us through the tasting with engaging stories and detailed explanations, making each sip a memorable experience. Jim's passion for Coeur de Terre's wines was palpable, and his recommendations were perfectly tailored to our preferences. His warmth and expertise made our visit not just enjoyable but unforgettable. If you're looking for an outstanding winery experience, Coeur de Terre with Jim as your guide is an absolute must!

My friends and I booked a reservation for 4pm on a Saturday. The appt said 4-530pm we were 15min late and we called to let them know and they adjusted the reservation to end at 545pm. We were staying in McMinnville nearby and it was about a 20min drive. Once we got there they told us to schedule our Uber driver to come back for us because we would have no service and no way to call a car. They also said they actually closed at 5 but we could stay a little late. Because I guess we pre ordered the charcuterie board (which was tasty) we had to sit inside it was empty no one else and no music just not exactly the vibe outside would have been way nicer but for some reason they don't allow that (stating bugs?) The wines were good (their reds weren't my fav) but the pours were sooooo small. I get it's a tasting but we were noticing that. They have a dog who walks around the property and is so adorable and comforting. At the end we bought a bottle of their rose which was amazingggg ($24) and luckily our Uber driver came back for us. The lady recommended 3rd street after and we did just that and had a fun night. Oh! There is a loud bang outside every so often something about keeping the birds away from the fruit sooo just be prepared for that.

Coeur de Terre Vineyard was a nice surprise. We had never heard about this winery nor did we plan to visit this space while in the Willamette Valley; but fortunately, we randomly found out about it and were so glad to check it out on a Sunday afternoon. There are so many different wineries around the Willamette Valley, so it's difficult to choose where to go. And of course, the most popular ones will likely be booked up. But my partner found Coeur de Terre and made a reservation for us to visit this winery in the late afternoon, which ended up being a delightful experience. The vineyard is located far from the city, up on a hill, surrounded by other vineyards and orchards. Just the setting itself is worth visiting. The winery with its own vineyard is spacious, with a large, open building that's open for the public. However, where you want to sit is outside on the patio, which overlooks the hills and vineyard. We had a reservation for 4PM on a Sunday, which was the last hour before closing. We tried six different wines: a chardonnay, pinot gris, rose, syrah and two pinot noirs. Now, we came to Oregon wine country because we wanted to explore pinot noirs, which is king in this part of the country. And I can say that the pinot noirs at Coeur de Terre were solid. I normally would not choose a pinot noir, but Coeur de Terre made me a believer. They grow all of their grapes here at the vineyard, and what I liked most about the pinot noirs is that they were more robust than other pinot noirs I've had. I like my reds more bold and heavy, and these pinot noirs were heavier. We had a wonderful experience here, exploring the pinot noirs and taking in the views and setting. The employee who helped us out was friendly, too. I recommend visiting if you're in the area. Tasting is $25 per person, and is waived with a $75 bottle purchase per person.

It was a rainy, gloomy day - no better place to spend the morning than this cozy and inviting winery. It's a bit out of the way, but worth the drive. The tasting room and the grounds are beautiful alone - now add some delicious wine and you have a perfect outing. Our server was knowledgable, taking us through our flight. The wines were all delicious and complimented the included charcuterie board nicely. Looking forward to revisiting both the wines and the location on a sunny day!

This winery was one of our stops for a Friday afternoon of wine tastings. We hadn't made reservations and although at the time of our visit they weren't overly busy, the staff seemed a bit unwelcoming. They have a wonderful porch with great chairs that I'd love to have at home but the orientation of it doesn't provide a good overlooking view of their vineyards when seated on the shady side of the porch. Indoors had a great vibe but noise level with more than two parties we found to be too loud. Neither of us were impressed enough to purchase any wine to take home

Jim took great care of us and even accommodated our request for a cheese board. We enjoyed all of his knowledge as well as the view and the wine!

This is my favorite winery in McMinnville. The wine is fantastic, the tasting room is beautiful and inviting, the staff are friendly, the views and atmosphere is serene. Since covid, they prefer that you make reservations before you come. We stayed a little too long and the staff was super friendly, informative, and relaxed. I'm super lucky that my in-laws are longtime wine club members--I'm super glad they introduced me to this Oregon gem that I try to visit every time I come to McMinnville.

Amazing views, experience, and wines. Highly recommend coming here. John was amazing and very knowledgeable about the wine-making process. Our favorite was the Chardonnay. Unlike any other Chardonnay, I have had.

We enjoyed our tasting very much! The Pino Gris was delightful and crisp without being sweet. We really enjoyed all the wines and picked up their well known Pino's as well. The charcuterie board had a great selection of tasty bites. Would love to return sometime when we travel North.

Didn't make an appointment but we were greeted with a smile. Had a wonderful tasting with knowledgeable and friendly staff. Yummy wine with a great view. Worth the trip.

Beautiful outdoor area where dogs are free to roam. We took home a couple bottles of their Pinot Noir.

This is a true hidden gem, don't be put off by the gravel road to the tasting room. From your first greeting by CeCe, the winery dog, she'll lead you right to the front door. The view is amazing and the wines are delicious. Jon was so attentive and informative, truly enjoyed all his stories and recounting the history of the Winery. Would definitely return and will be referring others to please stop by for a visit.

This is a beautiful vineyard in the Willamette region. The wines were great! We enjoyed our tasting on the porch overlooking the vineyards. It was a true Oregon wine tasting experience. The staff was knowledgeable and friendly. Ask for Cecee!

The wife and I stopped in on Saturday afternoon, not even considering reservations. We got turned away as they had a few reservations coming in soon. Disappointed as it was a bit of a drive and it wasn't crowded. Made a reservation for Sunday, only half planning to make it, but they offered to waive the tasting fee. So glad we went. The wine was really good and the staff was fantastic, same two from Saturday. The winery dog even greeted us in the parking lot and walked us up, seriously! Planning our next trip here because of them.

I loved the wines and the view was incredible. Very knowledgeable staff and we had a great time catching up and just hanging out!

Great service and good company. Wine was amazing, loved the view and those cute dogs :)

Booked the basic wine tasting and was surprised to be one of the only people there. The views from the porch are great with a breeze. The wine ambassador was great to talk to, very professional, friendly and taught us so much more than we were expecting. The wines were some of my favorite I've tried, definitely worth the visit. Thanks for being so hospitable! We had such a good experience.

Definitely one of the best wineries in the area! Great wine and a beautiful quiet location. The porch had a beautiful view and the outdoor heater was a bonus.

Coeur de Terre is a hidden gem and should be on your list of wineries to visit in Willamette valley. It is in a beautiful and peaceful location and the wine is outstanding. But it was Joanne, our wine guide, who made our wine tasting experience extra special - she was super welcoming/engaging and chatting with her about wines and the history of the area was amazing. We will be back again on our next visit to the area.

Have been here several times basking in the views during the tasting on the porch. Friends always seem to enjoy the wine and you can bring the pups for outside play.

My partner, myself and our best girlfriend Paula decided to do some much needed r&r and wine tasting. We were sent downtown Willamette and I wasn't wanting a Urban Winery experience, we wanted a charming country experience. I went to Trip advisor and Quickly made a few decisions on where to go. We decided to check out Couer de Terre vineyard first. We were greeted by a little golden lab puppy, omg, the absolute best. We are dog lovers so this was a major plus for all of us. Mind you the property is very well maintained and the tasting room was charming, rustic, welcoming and nice and bright. Lots of doors & windows with breathtaking views. We were greeted by Janna and a very sweet young lady, who ended up being the owners teenage daughter. What a gem! Janna introduced us to the wine manager/ co owner of the property and she took the time out of her busy schedule to accompany us on a tasting of her delicious wines. We are in the restaurant business and possibly looking to bring in some new wines to add to our list. Lisa, you made our day, you smile with your eyes and your passion and love for our environment was pretty impressive and heart felt. I can see why your wine taste so good, the love that you and your family, team put into your wines is what sets you apart from all the others. We had such a great experience with you, your lovely daughter and Janna, that we didn't want to go home. Perhaps in the future you'll have accommodations on your ranch to accommodate guests. We all learned so much and it was such a delightful experience. We stayed right where we were and decided nothing else could top this experience. I would highly recommend this above all others in a heart beat!

Did the Library tasting today. Wine and charcuterie board were great. The hostess (Joanne) and the setting were all very enjoyable. Left with quite a few bottles of rose and Pinot! Highly recommend a visit. We really enjoyed a leisurely afternoon in this wonderful place.

Wonderful wine and even better ambiance! Love this winery's location nestled in a quiet valley within the Willamette Valley. This is by far my favorite tasting room when I'm looking for excellent, down-to-Earth service and a chill atmosphere.

We had an absolutely lovely experience here and cannot say enough how wonderfully we were treated. This is our sixth wine region and you don't always get a friendly 'welcome to my place' kinda vibe that we got here. The Riesling was fantastic and we definitely left with a bottle to drink later. We were also given local recommendations which we really appreciated. A bit tucked back and a little drive that is extremely worth it!

The 6 of us had a really nice experience here. A beautiful spot and view. We enjoyed the wine, the info and stories that we got.

Our second visit up here today as part of the Mcminnville AVA passport weekend. Fun to drop and in see these folks again. Nice folks and it appears to be a family run business. Today, Jacque was pouring with the manager, Lisa. They were pretty busy but keep us going with talk of wine and upcoming releases. We left with a purchase of a dry Riesling and a Syrah that will be released in late May. They have it bottled but not labeled yet, so we were able to taste it and know that is exactly what we wanted. Local Syrah like that is rare so we definitely wanted a bottle. I know we will be back again.

Loved the wine and the beautiful views and atmosphere from the porch. We could've sat there drinking wine in those cozy chairs for days on end.

We have tasted wine all over the wine-producing world and this place is what the experience should be. That is to say, the staff were knowledgeable about every aspect of the wines, the terroir, and what distinguishes the local AVAs, especially the estate, and could answer any question. (Huge shout out to Joanne.) The wines were all very well structured and respectful of the grape. The charcouterie board was constructed to compliment the flight being poured. You can taste inside or outside, depending on where you are comfortable (although food is best enjoyed inside). Views are gorgeous and the surrounding forests and wines so restful. It is a bit off the beaten track, but in this case that is a virtue.

Beautiful setting. Very knowledgeable and friendly staff. And the wines are all amazing. We particularly loved the 2017 Pinot Gris & the 2015 Heritage Pinot Noir.

This is one of the most beautiful locations for a winery and the wines are outstanding! The Dry Riesling and Rose are some of the best in the Valley and the Pinot Noirs compete with any of them. Great wines, great service, and great atmosphere!

Beautiful, remote spot with phenomenal wines! Coming back to experience live music in what is a perfect setting to enjoy! Than you Catherine for the education and experience!

The wines here are excellent. The tasting room is beautiful and the staff is great. Jacques always takes such great care of us. This winery is a hidden gem and well worth the trip out to it!

Great service. Family owned, passion in what they do, and great wine. What could be better?

Warning- do not stop in unannounced and expect to be accommodated. We arrived yesterday (Sunday 12/4) at 3:15pm, having seen on their website that the tasting room was open until 5pm on Sundays, and that reservations were recommended, but not required. Our party of 4 was turned away and told that we needed to call ahead next time. The host explained that they are strictly reservation-based now since the pandemic, but that they stopped taking reservations at 2:30pm that day anyway. The large tasting room had two parties seated at the time. There was a group of 3 and a group of 2, for a total of 5 guests in the tasting room. It seemed like ample space and time to host us; however, we were denied the opportunity for even a glass of wine when we asked if we could opt for a glass instead of the full tasting. If they weren't closing early, and there were no more reservations coming in, then there was no apparent reason we couldn't stay. I can only assume the host wanted to head out? Not sure, but they lost 4 potential customers. Due to its tucked-away location it is not necessarily a place you can easily visit any time. You have to make the effort to visit, so unfortunately, we likely won't ever try them again. It is disappointing because we had heard good things. If we are in the area again, there are many more accommodating and welcoming options.

We just became members! What a wonderful vineyard in a spectacular location! Great wines, loooved the Pinot Noir and the Chardonnay! Also great service, we will be back soon!

Stellar views and beautiful tasting room. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Lovely Pinots.

Fantastic organic wine in a beautiful natural setting. They sometimes have music. Great vibe.

Beautiful location. Outdoor seating and dog friendly. Our wine server was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. We were there late in the day, it was a great time to be there.. very peaceful. It's a little further out but so worth it!

This hidden gem that is a must visit when you come to taste wine in Oregon's Wine Country. The tasting room staff is knowledgeable and fun, as well as being friendly. If you are looking for down-to-earth service in an idyllic setting, and great wines to taste this is your place!

Kathryn was a great tasting room host. Very knowledgeable. Great wines at a reasonable price. Beautiful tasting room and porch area to sit and relax and enjoy a glass.

We are friends from Jr. High and High School on a girlfriend trip celebrating our 60th birthdays. Part of our trip included wine tasting. John, our Sommelier at Coeur de Terre was AMAZING. His kind knowledge and expertise was the best wine tasting experience for every member of our group. The wine was fabulous, but the experience was beyond expectations. Well done! Thank John for making our experience so memorable

It's our planned last day visiting wineries during our vacation. We randomly looked at yelp and found the free tasting offer. Since we had visited 4 wineries in the same trip already, a free tasting sounds nice to try. So we drove up to the hill. The winery is definitely beautiful. We also felt very welcome. Very relaxing. We also saw a helicopter landing at the vineyard with guests coming to visit. That was fun. We went there a little close to closing time so they almost sold out the rose in the tasting room. The rose is a little not chilled long enough, but I still like how it tastes. The wine maker said that because a lot guests bought the bottle and drank on site and only him on site that day so he couldn't run to the storage to get more. Very understandable. I saw him running around and still was very nice to everyone there. I had a joyful time.

What a great winery to visit if you're in the McMinnville area. The location was off the beaten path and very worth it. Beautiful tasting room and the patio views were incredible. Jacque was very informative. He spent a lot of time telling us about the property, the soils and the grapes. Enjoyed a great Pinot Gris', lovely rose and some wonderful Pinot Noirs. We will go back - highly recommend!

My husband and I were celebrating our 5th year wedding anniversary, and we stumbled upon this lovely winery tucked away off Eagle Point Road. The tasting room offers an intimate and relaxed setting with stunning views. Ron, our pourer, was extremely welcoming, even with our late arrival in the afternoon. Our flight included 6 wines, three of which were Pinots. The wines were incredible, and ended up purchasing more wine that we had in our budget :) However it was well worth it! During our tasting, Ron invited us downstairs to see the cellar. Ron spent a few hours with us explaining the wine making process. He went above and beyond his job description to make our visit a pleasurable experience. We recommend anybody making this winery visit a priority among their tour; and will be visiting Coeur de Terre again and again. It was a relaxing and enjoyable ending to our busy day. The Clarks

Another than the trek to get to the tasting room, it was amazing! The vineyard was gorgeous, very friendly staff, and the Heritage Pinot was delicious! The old, friendly dog on front sold us on this place forever!

We discovered Coeur de Terre Wines on San Juan Island in Washington. I loved their Pinot Noir so much, I tracked down the winery and wrote them to tell them. I had the pleasure of visiting the winery a couple of years ago - and the warmth of the staff and owners, and the wines! have made it my favorite winery to visit. If we go wine tasting, we go to Coeur de Terre as one of our stops. I am a Wine Club member, and love the perks. I love everything from the Riesling to the incredible Pinot Noirs.

The property was beautiful!!! The staff was wonderful as well!! We went on a beautiful day, and the only downfall was the limited seating outside... we would have stayed longer had there been better outside accommodations

After visiting 5 different wineries in 3 days we were so looking forward to this tasting based on all the other reviews.... unfortunately, it wasn't what we were hoping for. Beautiful tasting room, nice sitting area outside, we loved visiting with Jake the wine dog, what a sweetie! But, the wine wasn't the greatest. It was good, don't get me wrong, but I think we were looking to be wowed and we just weren't. Definitely worth a drive out, it's pretty out there, but probably won't go back.

This is a pretty remarkable vineyard setting in the foothills just outside of McMinnville. The tasting room is warm and inviting and gives you the feeling that you are visiting a special Willamette Valley site. The dog greeting you at the front door helps with that feeling. This is authentic Oregon. Jacques hosted us and poured through a flight of Riesling, Rose, Syrah, and several Pinot Noirs. The wines here are excellent. They clearly have good McMinnville AVA vineyards and a good winemaker. The 2012 Tallulah's run Pinot was bright and savory and mouthwatering and we had to take home 4 bottles of it. We also picked up the Riesling and Syrah. This was the second time we visited. I had forgotten how good the wine is here. We will make it a regular stop on our way to the Oregon coast.
