A Guide to Walk-In Wine Tasting in the Willamette Valley

"This picturesque estate near Salem was known for its vibrant live music, dance nights, and events, with expansive grounds that make it easy to spread out. The events continue today, though visitors can stop by any day of the week to taste pinot, indoors or out. Cubanisimo is open from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden

Our favorite vinyard in the valley. Beautiful location, terrific hosts with great knowledge of the varietals, and the best wine lineup. They allow you to bring food to enjoy with your wine flights, so take advantage and spend an afternoon.

We went there for their Saturday salsa event with Dina and the Rumberos. The wine was mediocre and the event was $30. There were very few dancers and it was an overall bad experience with little dance cliques dancing with each other. The staff was very impolite and aggressive. We got yelled at while walking from the parking spot to the front door to pay rudely because apparently we did not do this quick enough. For $30 it was not worth the event. The wine was also not very good. For something that is advertised as the premier Salem dancing event this was horrible and not fun. The owners are super full of themselves and their staff is very very rude.

Views - amazing, wine - amazing, staff - amazing! Couldn’t recommend a more scenic and beautiful winery. We did yoga and wine here and it was just the best experience. They are dog friendly and the wine is superb!

Where else can you see the Capitol of Oregon, Salem, while you sit on a hill sipping wine? Check out this lovely vineyard off Route 22. Jessica will set you up with 5 wines...including our favorite, Rumba Pinot Noir, as well as their 2014 Estate Pinot Noir. Four cows from a neighboring farm came to visit while we there, as well. A wonderful afternoon. Thank you!

We enjoyed our time at Cubanisimo very much. Alex took great care of us and spent a lot of time explaining the different wines and different vintages. Very nice facility and the weather cooperated for a great tasting experience!

Cubanisimo is a very beautiful winery. The wines were all very tasty and the garden/scenery was also beautiful. You need to check out this great vineyard on Friday's when they have music and pizza!

We found this winery by accident and so glad we did! The reds are amazing, as are their whites and rose which sell out FAST! The events they host are so fun--you would think you are in the Caribbean! Can't recommend enough going to visit them and finding your perfect wine and perfect day!!

Cubanisimo is one of my favorite wineries to come back to! Excellent wines, it's definitely worth trying the flight and then picking your favorite! Great location, friendly staff, and lots of events like live music and dancing!

Nice quiet tasting with no one around. Good scenery muy tranquili vista. Owners are from Cuba apparently. Would retune here.

We dropped by here today and tasted some wine. Summer was on staff there and she was able to give us the story of the winery's origin. Which was very interesting but I'll let her tell you about it when you visit. On my way up there I discovered there was a Groupon for $20 you could get a tasting of eight wines for two people. So, I purchased that which was a great deal. It turns out it's a misprint there is actually only six wines but still a great deal. This was a weekday visit and they had some prepackaged food for purchase and also soft drinks. We purchased a couple meat and cheese trays and went outside to enjoy the wine. It was nice outside finally under 80 and air quality not terrible for a pleasant change. They have a great many tables and chairs and umbrellas outdoors making it a nice stop for spring and summer. The wine club sounded intriguing and I'll definitely ponder that as everything tasted great. I'll definitely be back to try it again.

We love this winery. If it wasn't for Groupon, we may not find this awesome place that focuses on Pinots because you have to drive up those hills in the Willamette Valley with some unpaved road in a small section. It's really tucked away and a secret gem. The drive is so worth it. They are so busy all day Friday with constant visitors pouring in. The two ladies in the tasting room are the sweetest. They have great pours here and a great big bold 2018 Estate Pinot Noir! I love the founder's story and the Cuban passion all over. They let you wonder around the beautiful grounds and get close to the vines. There are also live bands and food pop up on the weekends. We will be back again! Next time I want to smoke a Cuban cigar while enjoying a few glasses of those awesome reds!

Very pretty place. Great views, cute shopping area, great outdoor seating. The wine was good but nothing really hit my I need to buy a bottle of this. Super awesome they had some cigars for sale. The biggest bummer was the adult lunchable snacks for food. I know it is covid crazy right now. But I feel a little more effort could be made. I felt the gal working was a little annoyed with us which was kind of a bummer a guy showed as well and he was super nice and actually talked to us about the membership, and asked what we were all up to today. So in the long and short of things this place is nice but could use some improvements. Also let be know that this was like the third winery I have been to and I am no wine pro so I am just basing this on my general points of view.

This was the most fun I've had in a long time. Great atmosphere and a friendly owner. The wine is very good, and affordable, which is often a challenging combination. I will certainly come back again.

We had an amazing experience at this beautiful winery! All of the staff are exceptionally friendly and definitely cater to your every need. The manager Sam is so warm and caring and goes out of her way to make sure that you're happy and comfortable. it's a beautiful place to go and have some wonderful Pinot noir. The estate16 is my favorite. We are going to be spending a lot more time here as it is our new favorite place to go. They sometimes have food carts and live bands ( check their website for dates and times) the owner Maurice and his beautiful wife are wonderful warm friendly people. They make it fun to spend lots of time here I highly recommend it!

Soooo much fun. The Labor Day party had great wine, a salsa band and street tacos. Everybody was on their feet, dancing the day away. This vineyard beautiful with picturesque views.

A couple of my family members were stung by two of the huge number of bees that swarm this place. That after paying $20 each to get in, which included one small glass of wine. A plate with very little food on it cost another $9. The caterer was doling out the tiniest scoops of beans and rice as though he's rationing for a war. The wine is frankly not that great but this place has always been more about the atmosphere, which has gone sharply downhill. The band was great. Everything else was pretty awful. Not coming back anytime soon.

What a wonderful vineyard! Some friends brought us here on a whim and I was so pleased to finish our day of tasting on such a great note! The owner is a regular in his own tasting room which says something right there and I highly recommend checking into their events which I hear amazing things about. The tasting room is just gorgeous with a intoxicating front garden and fountain area just ripe for dancing and parties. Beyond the nice setup we all thoroughly enjoyed chatting with the knowledgeable staff who was excited about the wines as us! We had a wine flight that was to die for and I cannot recommend their Estate Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris (both award winners) enough. I highly recommend hitting this vineyard while on your next jaunt through wine country.

Me and 3 others had a fun time our first time going there. We were served by Carey and she was awesome. The only probably was that we couldn't get an Uber or Lyft back home so we started walking for a little over a mile and Carey ended up seeing us walking on the side of the road and picked us up and dropped us off at our houses. Amazing customer service even after we left the vineyard!

We enjoyed their tasting on a Saturday. Staff was amazing and after a phone call to find out what food they had we were encouraged to bring our own if we preferred. The guys came to our outdoor table with our next tastings and their timing was perfect! Beautiful views and great wine.

Inability of employees to improvise in a sensical, hospitable manner ultimately made for a terrible experience. One of 4 in our party had an allergy to the grape varietal, decided after less than 6 ounces of wine we would go somewhere with more options and were charged for all 3 flights. If you enjoy being robbed, I highly recommend it.

Beautiful grounds, scenery and tasting room. The couple who own this winery are personable & friendly, their love of wine and people is evident. The wine is tasty and it's exciting to drink it in such wonderful surroundings. Will certainly return.

Beautiful setting with gorgeous outdoor plentiful space and impeccable service. The winery industry can be pretty hit or miss when it comes to service but Cubanisimo doesn't disappoint with its attentive and knowledgeable staff. Will be back!

Service was wonderful. Vineyards are beautiful. I loved that it was such a relaxed feeling with the service. The girl (I'm bad with names) was easy to chat with and new a lot about the wines. I absolutely loved their wines. They have an amazing rose. Not too sweet. First place I've liked since moving to the area. Would be great if they had more 'local party' type events like dancing and maybe some food options.

Brought my mom and my sister here for a fun girls day out! This was my sisters first winery and it was nothing but perfect! We ended up being the only people there at the time but the scenery was beautiful and the service was amazing. There ended up being an issue with the internet and wasn't able to run our cards she comped our flights. We still made purchases with a bottle of wine and a few cigars to go. Thanks for a great experience!

First of all, we love visiting the tasting room and always have the best experiences with staff and service, but the real reason I have to write this long overdue review is the exceptional service we were provided for our wedding! We had our wedding at Cubanisimo at the end of July and I could not have been more happy with our choice. Debra was phenomenal at helping with coordinating leading up to the event, for the rehearsal, and the day of (and the day after when she was kind to let us pick up remaining belongings we had left on site). Her and Mauricio made sure we felt welcome in their home and on the property and made sure our event went perfectly. They even stayed late when we had an issue with transportation on our end and a few guests (including my parents) were stuck at the venue late. As someone who has spent much of their career in customer service roles, they truly deserve the highest praise for their service. Thank you Cubanisimo for helping make our wedding perfect and for some excellent wine as well!

I love their wine! This place is really cool: A blend of Cuban heritage and Oregon pinot. Whether it's one of their special events with Salsa dancing and live music or just a quite afternoon in the tasting room, Cubanisimo Vineyards doesn't disappoint. I recommend not only the tasting room but also their wine to everyone I know.

We celebrated our daughter's 30 birthday at Cubanisimo Vinyards yesturday. This venue is a beautiful winery in a gorgeous, private setting. The tasting room and outdoor patio are acceptional and made for a fun and festive atmosphere. All of their wine is excellent! The service was outstanding. The owners, manager and servers made all of us feel welcome and added that element of great hospitality to make our celebration a huge success. Thank you so much!!
