Domaine Drouhin Oregon

I loved this winery from the moment I arrived and didn’t want to leave to go to the next stop on my wine tour! Sitting on the patio overlooking the beautiful vineyard views was such a relaxing delight. The customized tasting menu, knowledgeable staff, and tasty complimentary nuts and crackers elevated the tasting experience. Sophia, who poured our wines, was the best! She was so kind and gave us the interesting history about how each wine was made. I look forward to visiting again.

Amazing experience doing the tasting flight at Domaine Droughin. As others have noted, the location and view are breathtaking, and it was nice to walk around afterwards. The tasting itself was a wonderful experience with our host friendly, extremely knowledgeable about the wine she was pouring and the company history. The wine, as advertised, is a Burgundian take on Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, and it hits at a very high quality for me. I definitely plan to come back as they release more.

First visit. Last minute decision so no surprise that there were no tasting reservations available. Undaunted, we decided to create our own tasting experience via the single glass menu since one of our party is a certified sommelier with the CMS. We appreciated that Ben spoke to us without condescension. He was most hospitable and informative staff member, both able and willing to answer a few questions so we could shape our tasting decisions. He took a few moments when delivering our warm gougères to answer questions about the Caballus, as well as the Zephrine, which contributed helpfully to my decision about which bottle to eventually take home as a gift for a friend. The fermentation area was open to the public.

Outstanding Wine Tasting Experience! The Drouhin Oregon Experience with Bryan - Absolutely Phenomenal! Holy Pinot Noir, Batman! What an incredible afternoon at Drouhin Oregon celebrating our friends' wedding anniversary! We signed up for "The Drouhin Oregon Experience" and Bryan delivered an experience that was worth every single sip. From the moment we sat down, Bryan had us laughing and learning in equal measure. This guy doesn't just know wine - he practically IS wine! His passion for the craft was infectious, and his humor kept everyone engaged throughout the entire tasting. We've never learned so much about Dundee Hills and Eola-Amity Hills while simultaneously snort-laughing. The wine was absolutely spectacular. Each pour told a story of the Willamette Valley's unique territory, and Bryan made sure we understood not just what we were tasting, but WHY it tasted that way. The flagship Cuvée Laurène? Chef's kiss - pure liquid poetry in a glass. Bryan's energy was contagious. If you're looking for a wine tasting that's both educational and entertaining, book The Drouhin Oregon Experience with Bryan. Trust me, you'll leave with a deeper appreciation for Oregon wine, a few new favorite bottles, and probably some sore cheeks from smiling so much. Can't wait to come back and hopefully get Bryan again. This man deserves a raise and his own comedy special! Highly recommend! 🍷

We visited on a warm and sunny Sunday and had an outstanding experience. Ken was highly professional, informative, and genuinely welcoming. The Rosé Rock Chardonnay stood out with its balance of freshness, minerality, and refined complexity—truly memorable. The breathtaking view from the terrace added an authentic sense of place, perfectly complementing the spirit of winemaking. Thank you 🙏

One of the nicest wineries we visited in Oregon. The wines we sampled rivaled others, but the atmosphere, although nice, wasn't as impressive as a couple of others. Our server also didn't impress us as someone as knowledgeable as others we visited with on our trip.

The wife and I had occasion to visit the winery the other day for the Spring Fete. This consisted of a pretty extensive selection of gourmet snacks (brie, pate, comte cheese, baguette slices, ham, etc.) and a glass of the newly released Rose for $25. We thought the price was more than fair, given what was provided. In addition to the Rose, there was also a selection of burgundy (white and red), chardonnay and pinot noir that was available by the glass (for a fee - prices were pretty reasonable, ranging from $8 to $17 for a 5 ounce pour). Wine quality is always pretty high here, and such was again the case at the Fete. The current Rose is very good (decent fruit and sweetness, but with great balancing acidity), and we also enjoyed the Roserock chardonnay and pinot noir. The 2021 Joseph Drouhin Rully rouge was also very enjoyable. Frankly, it's really pretty hard to find any fault with Domian Drouhin. It's in a great location and the tasting room is nicely appointed. That being said, customer service is where this winery really shines. On one of our first visits here (many years ago), we joked with the staff that we really enjoyed all the wine, but wished they had some white burgundy available (my wife is a big fan). The staff member laughed, noting that unfortunately they typically didn't have any Joseph Drouhin available (this is no longer the case), but that there had been a recent event where they did open some bottles of white burgundy. He asked us to wait a moment while he checked to see if there was anything left. Sure enough, there was a remaining bottle of Premier cru chablis that was about a third full. My wife was delighted when he poured the remaining bottle into her glass, completely complimentary (I asked if I could pay for it, but he mentioned the wine wasn't in their system and that in any event there was no need). During a recent prior visit, my wife and I stopped by to enjoy a glass of wine (there's always several different wines available by the glass here). As usual, we chatted with the staff for bit... everyone was very friendly. Once again, we discussed Domain Drouhin's burgundy heritage, and expressed our fondness for Joseph Drouhin wine. The winery was hosting a special group and had opened some older bottles of burgundy for the occasion. Without our asking, the staff member brought over one of the bottles of red burgundy that the group was enjoying and poured us a glass. Once again, no charge for this. There are many wineries in the Willamette Valley that employ friendly staff and make great wine. However, I can't think of any place that matches the customer service found at Domain Drouhin. This place is great and an absolute gem.

We attended a vineyard tour event at Domaine Drouhin earlier this week and loved our experience. Even though it was the hottest day of the summer, they still did what they could to show us the vineyards from a shaded area so no one would get overheated. The wine here was spectacular, as were the views and the service. We will return, hopefully on a cooler day!
