Domaine Roy & fils

Yesterday, I had the opportunity to photograph a proposal at this stunning vineyard. From the moment I opened my car door, I was greeted by one of the vineyard hosts, who kindly asked how I was doing and helped me find the perfect spot for the proposal shoot. The level of service and attention I received as a photographer was exceptional. The vineyard itself is absolutely beautiful, with breathtaking views of the hills and open landscapes. Every detail of the venue was pristine and well-maintained, making it incredibly easy to capture the essence of the place in my photos. The vineyard aisles were well-designed, making the entire photo session seamless and enjoyable. In addition to the picturesque vineyard, they also have a lovely wine-tasting area where you can sample some of their finest wines. Their wine is truly some of the best I’ve ever tried. If you’re looking for a picturesque location for your wedding or proposal photos, this vineyard is perfect. As a wedding photographer in Portland, I highly recommend this venue for its outstanding service, stunning scenery, and excellent wine.

My parents and I came here from a recommendation, and I'm very glad that we did. The wine was amazing. I really enjoyed trying the same grape varietals grown in different regions on Oregon and tasting the difference. The food, view, and our server were great as well. They also waived tastings, if bottles were purchased, which was nice as well. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here, and I recommendation the winery for anyone in the area to try.

We visited 6 wineries on our recent trip to the Valley. Domaine Roy is a beautiful location, wonderfully designed building and lovely grounds. The staff is kind and accommodating. 3 stars because we care more about quality of the wines and getting an education on the terroir and production methods. The wine was mediocre in comparison to the wines at Penner-Ash and Bergstrom. The woman hosting us was lovely, but I don't feel I learned anything I didn't know before visiting. The only winery we didn't buy wine from.

We had our wedding reception here on June 5, 2021. It was a dream come true, and the cherry on top of an absolutely perfect day. Although covid restrictions changed a million times during the planning process, Ally made it easy to navigate everything and still come away with the perfect reception! The wine of course is spectacular, and the view is stunning. It was the perfect place to gather with our family and friends to celebrate our marriage! And now coming back to do tastings is extra special. Thank you!

I would absolutely recommend Domaine Roy & Fils! We visited Willamette Valley for our friend's birthday weekend and Domaine Roy & Fils was by far one of the best wineries that we visited. Our hostess and tour guide, Rachel, was an absolute joy to experience our tasting with. From the tasting itself to taking us out to the vineyard and exploring the winery, she went above and beyond to give us the most in depth and heartwarming experience! She even booked us reservations for dinner and found us a driver to take us to and from dinner which was so incredibly kind of her. The winery and vineyard at Domaine Roy & Fils is breathtaking and the wine and charcuterie boards were absolutely delicious. We enjoyed it all so much that my husband and I joined their membership. We received our wine recently in Chicago and have fallen in love all over again. We definitely hope to return again in the future! Thank you so much to Rachel and the whole Domaine Roy & Fils team!

We had a wonderful experience at Domaine Roy et Fils. Meredith was attentive, personable, and went above and beyond to make our tasting memorable. She took the time to consult with her manager to provide us with superb accommodations and demonstrated impressive knowledge of both the wines and the winery. Her genuine investment in our experience ultimately led us to join the membership. The food was excellent, the wines were outstanding, and the overall atmosphere made for a truly special visit. Highly recommend!

Stopped by as we were driving by and couldn't have been happier that we did. The quality of wines at Roy are world class, but just as impressive as the wines was the service we received from Rachel and frankly the whole staff who were there that day. Incredibly knowledgeable and bubbly service and blockbuster wines... gonna be tough to find a better experience than this

Osmond was really great at giving us information! We stopped in this past Sunday, with no reservation, but they were happy to seat us! It was my Dads 80th and we really enjoyed our day together! Thank you!

The views 10/10. The building/deck 10/10. The wine is very good 9/10 and service is excellent as well. However... I did find it odd they were not offering tastings (which is why we came here) due to being "short staffed"(?) but it was not very busy (maybe 3 other small groups) and there were several people working, and they didn't seem particularly busy. So just had wine by the glass (which was actually more $$ than the tasting would have been) and enjoyed the views for a bit.

Absolute gorgeous tasting room, stunning views, fantastic service, good wines. Loved everything about this place, including the educational tour downstairs. Overall a really great place. Parking area a but small, but it was not packed. Definitely recommend and will be back.

Another gem in Dundee! Domaine Roy & Fills offers delicious wine in a serene and peaceful setting. While I don't typically go for the Pinots preferring bigger, bolder wines, I really enjoyed the 2018 Oron Filbert, an extra pour our server gave us during our tasting. We were there in an 88 degree day in October so sat inside their gorgeous tasting room at a table right up against the window with views onto their huge patio and vineyards behind. Immediately you feel relaxed. Our server was both passionate and knowledgeable about the wines, the winemaker and the history. We never felt rushed and received two pours at a time which allowed us to sip at our leisure. I prefer this over wineries who pour one at a time and you have to rely on them for the pace. Since we were doing a club pick up, we also enjoyed a delicious Mediterranean charcuterie with feta, olives, pits, grilled veggies and humus. With so many fabulous vineyards in Willamette Valley, I'm thrilled there are so many fantastic wineries right in Dundee, a short and easy ride from Portland. . Makes it easy to visit a few then have a wonderful meal downtown to cap off the day.

Views and location of this tasting room is worth the visit. They have a pet friendly patio but since they had an event on the day they allowed our dog to sit inside. The food choices were good and the service on the wine was great. It's close to town so you can easily take a cab.

Best wine of the day! Wow was this wine ever delicious. The setting, while not as expansive was glorious, surrounded by the growing vines. We took home a couple of bottles, but will look for more in the future! We enjoyed a bottle with dinner that paired perfectly with my duck. Highly recommend this winery, the wine and the service!

We came here as a super last minute plan with the girls. This was my first time wine tasting. My friends have done it before. Scenery: SO DARN BEAUTIFUL!! We came on a good day. It was so sunny and about 72-75 degrees out. They sat us outdoor near the edge to enjoy the view. They had the umbrellas out to keep us cool. Wine: out of the 5 we tried, I definitely liked 2. I wish I remembered what they were. One had a sweet aroma with a subtle fruit taste. The other had a really strong aroma that gave a little burn but tasted like a cherry jolly rancher. We paid $40 for the experience. And another $40 for the charcuterie board. I'm not sure if it's because of COVID, but we received the charcuterie board packaged in their original covers.

Lovely wines, lovely view, lovely staff. The new Rose is a must try. We pre-ordered the tin fish.

The wine is superb. Excellent Pinots and worth aging. Love the staff's attentiveness and knowledge. The views and estate are beautiful.

This winery has the most beautiful view off their enormous back deck. For our tasting, we were seated on a rustic, leather couch facing this gorgeous view of the Dundee Hills through floor-to-ceiling windows. I felt like we had the best seats in the winery. Our pourer, Brian, was very knowledgeable, thorough and attentive to our needs. We never felt like we were on a time limit or rushed. Brian even took the time to research my wine preferences online before we even showed up. That's definitely a first for me. I took advantage of the extra tastings and purchased a delicious chard along w another Pinot. Generous charcuterie plate and the best green olives I've ever tasted (grown right on the property) and I don't typically like olives! Great, relaxing, intimate experience at Roys and Fils. Can't wait to revisit this summer!

Thank you so much for the wonderful hospitality. You have a beautiful facility. I love your wine Jared. I have been a wine club member and only quit because my cellar is full (for now). I missed you guys, so I brought a friend. I have been a member of about 15 different wineries. I have visited them all multiple times. Karla Vivano at your winery was the best host I have ever had! Her wealth of knowledge was amazing. She was friendly, attentive and helpful. Her customer service skills are excellent. You got lucky when you found her. We each bought four bottles and had a great afternoon. Thank you again. Huck

The wine was mediocre at best and the $40 tasting was unbelievably expensive with 4 small pours. It was not even one full glass. The view was beautiful and service was ok - but not what should be for $40. In addition, there was a section on the order form for tips - on the wine order! Definitely not a go to place I would do - although if you would like a beautiful view of Oregon countryside then maybe worth the trip.

George did a great job serving us wine while telling us everything about the wine. Bullshit or not, we had a great time sitting in the patio drinking all of the pours George brought us.

Domaine Roy is PHENOMENAL! Jared Etzel knows what he's doing when it comes to wine! The 2018 Iron Filbert Pinot Noir and the 2019 Quartz Acorn Chardonnay are hands down my favorite wines. My group did an Iron & Quartz tasting and enjoyed the Royal Caviar (Regiis Ova)--which tasted amazing with the crème fraiche, chives, and potato chips. Additionally, they are dog friendly both inside and out, and Alfredo (my dog) greatly enjoyed meeting all of the staff. Will be recommending to my friends and family. If you're in Dundee, you should definitely add this winery to your list of stops.

We were a group of 10 celebrating my daughter's 30th birthday. This winery was all of favorite and that is due to the amazing Andrew. He gave us a tour of the premises and we all learned more from him than any other wine tour we have taken. The wine was delicious, our favorite was the 2015 Yamhill-Carlton Incline. My daughter even became a member.

We had a large bachelorette party come in by bus, with about 22 girls. When we first arrived, we were greeted and told they could not find our reservation. We were distraught! We're still unsure what happened exactly, and if there may have been a mistake on our end. With a party that large and them being unprepared, we were sure we'd have to leave while missing out on wine tasting all together. However, they really stepped up and put a few things together for us. They didn't have the seating initially, so they gave us a nice tour while they put together a whole table and very comfortable chairs! Mistakes happen, but they truly saved the day. Not only is their tasting location absolutely beautiful, they wines were so good, that I decided to become a member. I generally don't prefer Pinot Noirs but these wines really changed my mind on the grape. A big thank you to Andrew for taking care of the large group all by himself. I fully expected we would need two people, but he handled it masterfully. I cannot wait to go back to Domaine Roy, take in the breathtaking views, and pick up my wines!

Let's start with the wine. Everything we tried was phenomenal! The setting was spectacular with views looking over the Dundee hills. Our server, Rachel, was amazing and took time to talk about each wine in detail. She was patient with my questions and knew the details down to soil chemistry the grapes were grown in! What a pleasant way to spend an afternoon!

As far as organic and low-intervention winemaking goes in Oregon, Domaine Roy is near the top. The wine is pure and you can certainly tell that it is organically farmed. The wines are earth-forward and bright, and because Domaine Roy uses neutral oak, fruit and berry notes are front-and-center. As a newer winery (ca. 2012), it's impressive to see how far Domaine Roy has come in such a short period of time. The tasting room is large and overlooks the gorgeous Dundee Estate property. You have a view from pretty much any seat. Our host was very knowledgable about the wines and let us try some off-flight wines that we ultimately bought. My partner and I really enjoyed the experience. Highly recommend.

We are not review leavers.. let's start with that. With all the craziness of covid this year my boyfriend and I decide to venture into society by visiting Domaine Roy and Fils... WELL WORTH IT! We were guided through a wine tasting with Andrew who nailed our wine pallets! He was super kind and knowledgeable. We were happy to be educated and rather than having someone selling wine to us. We were happy to learn about the history of the winery and the process, from the seed being sewed to the perfect time to sip! The location was not only beautiful, quiet, and relaxing, but an easy going due to their extra compliance with covid restrictions. We were both able to identify and enjoy personalize wine profiles that fit our individual preferences! (Which wasn't hard with each wine being on par). We HIGHLY recommend visiting this location!

If you are looking for an elegant and cozy/relaxed ambiance, Domaine Roy is the spot for you. The views are breathtaking; tons of patio seating on the terrace, or inside the sweeping hall. I can't wait to come enjoy the fireplace when cold weather arrives. Now the wines - Jared has created some gorgeous wines. Delicate, complex and just beautiful. I took a bottle of the 2016 Chardonnay home, and I don't usually go for Chardonnay. I highly recommend this beauty for an intimate date or a fun girls day. They won't disappoint.

We had our wedding reception here on June 5, 2021. It was a dream come true, and the cherry on top of an absolutely perfect day. Although covid restrictions changed a million times during the planning process, Ally made it easy to navigate everything and still come away with the perfect reception! The wine of course is spectacular, and the view is stunning. It was the perfect place to gather with our family and friends to celebrate our marriage! And now coming back to do tastings is extra special. Thank you!

My favorite winery in the area. Great service, ambiance and wine. Definitely would recommend a visit to anyone visiting Williamette Valley

The building is there best feature! I have been twice now, once when they first opened, and just recently. Both times miss the mark. I generally go back a second time, specifically if it's a new business that just opened, give them time to work things out. But unfortunately, they missed the mark both times! Service here is just meh. I don't know what the deal is, but wine tasting should not be this exhausting! They have now switched to appointment only, but don't advertise that yet. They did fit us on on a walk in this last Saturday, but we were seated outside, it was a bit chilly so we wanted to come in. We ended up at the bar area where they wash the dishes because they couldn't seat us anywhere else. We were only four people! The wine is not the best in the area. Many others in this area are much much better! For the price point, it is spendy. If you do go, maybe sit this one in you cellar for 10+ years before you pop that cork. Their pinot's taste very young and a bit muddy. I won't be back, sorry DR, but you failed to impress me on both visits.

Beautiful setting with a lovely deck looking out on an expansive view of the valley.... Wines are good not great I was actually somewhat underwhelmed but the service from George, a young man Man from Germany, was spot on- he's very engaging and very knowledgeable.

Amazing winery! The first time I visited, I knew I wanted to become a member. On my 3rd visit, I officially joined. Staff makes tasting comfortable and NOT stuffy - not like other "domaine" wineries in the region; Domaine Roy is bright and uplifting. Our favorite sommeliers are Andrew and Wes. Wine is delicious! Ambiance of tasting house reminds me of Restoration Hardware, which is like my love language. Highly recommend Domaine Roy

The wine isn't bad, but compared to many in the area it's overpriced. Also the club service is pretty poor, and why we have decided to cancel. They wouldn't allow for exchanges or swap outs on club shipments, and made it seem like we were the rude ones for asking. When trying to cancel after seeing a the latest shipment went through, they claimed it would be a logistic nightmare to have to refund the money. Didn't ask why we wanted to cancel, or care to try and retain our membership.

Went here as a stop on a wine tour. The view is amazing! We got a tour of the cellar to see the equipment, tanks and oak barrels while sipping on some wine. We also ordered the charcuterie board which came with dried apricots, olives, one type of cheese and cured sausage., and crackers. It was nice to eat something and then see how the wine tasted afterwards. Try their Chardonnay, I don't usually like it but theirs was crisp and refreshing.

A lovely variety of wines in a fantastic setting! Harvey was wonderful to us during our tasting and super knowledgeable about the wines and vines. Loved it!

Six of us on a wine tasting afternoon. Jake served us. Great, knowledgeable guy. We tried three of the pinots and one chardonnay. All of the wine was delicious. We all bought wine to take home. Wonderful event on a rainy afternoon!

Went for tasting (outdoors on a rainy day, but what can you do?). Nice flight selection and great recommendations for our personalized tastings. Covid compliant, helpful and also gave us a tour of the production facility. Wines were a higher price point, but we enjoyed our time and the wine. Thanks!

This was our first experience in Portland and it was amazing. We liked the setting for wine tasting room. It had a scenic view with large floor to ceiling windows. Our host Andrew was very knowledgeable and fun to talk too as well. He was courteous and also helped with recommendations. We loved the wines and us trying the unfiltered unfined wines was a first. The spread for the tasting was varied and we could clearly distinguish the different ones. We also took a tour of the cellar and a quick walk around the scenic property. Highly recommended!!

Everything about this winery is incredible. The people, the land, the grapes, the atmosphere, and most importantly the owner Jared! I have a hard time with red wine, then Jared introduced me to a red wine: Domaine Roy Iron Filbert 2016 Vintage. This was by far the greatest red wine, it isn't dry, doesn't have a strong alcohol after taste and so smooth. A MUST in every wine lovers wine cabinet.

Make an appointment, you have too. The tasting room is amazing, the staff is very nice and the views are the best part. The tasting room had huge windows, tall ceilings and a beautiful barn door and tables. The staff is awesome, very nice and helpful. My group of 18 had Jordan. He was great, told us about the wines and kept track of where we were. THE VIEWS!! The best part is the views, it has huge windows and balcony that you can see all of Dundee. So much nature! So relaxing and beautiful.

This is a very interesting experience. We stopped by not knowing you needed an appointment. There wasn't anyone there, so they invited us in. The person helping us was very friendly and the tasting room and deck were spectacular. Upon arriving, we were given a glass of champagne at the door as they greeted us. We were then told to pick a seat and they would bring out the tasting. The tastings are done in a flight-type style with all the wines being poured at once. The wines were just ok and it was $25 per tasting. The tasting fee is waved with a bottle purchae.

From being greeted at the door by an adorable puppy to the incredible view and service on the patio to the attentiveness and kindness of every single employee we interacted with (including our wine server, Andrew, who was so knowledgeable, funny, and interested in serving us wine we would love!), our entire experience at Domaine Roy & fils was perfect from start to finish. We can't wait to visit again!

I was a bit disappointed that they charged $25 for a flight - only telling us the cost after handing us 2 tastings. Had I known, I would have passed on it, considering a lot of other vineyards charge $15 or give complimentary tastsings. I also thought the wine was a bit cloudy, but fairly tasty. Again though, $25 is a lot for 3 or 4 tastings of wine that we found to be mediocre. However, the building is lovely and the deck is amazing. I was also told we may have been charged more because it was a large group of us. A party bus in fact. We were boisterous for sure, but they made $600 off the 25 of us. It was a good day for our group to come in because it was a slow day for the winery, but I'm going to stick with venues that cost $15.

These folks are so right on. They craft amazingly healthy biodynamic organic wine that is delightful whether sipping or pairing. I wanted to show my friends how well their chardonnay would pair with my salmon made with Alaska Spice Shop's Reel Peel Salmon Rub so we made a little picnic of it with the salmon, a nice french baquette, a little veggie charcuterie plate and they let us enjoy this with the wine on their beautiful deck over looking their vineyards. Definitely an afternoon to remember.

Unreal amazing wine tasting experience. The location is beautiful. You feel like you're in someone's very fancy home with outrageous views of the vineyard and very comfy seating. The wines were amazing. We tasted several wines and each had something unique, divine, and delicious to offer. The winemaking is superb. All of these aspects are magical and the service will make you want to come back. We had the honor of being served by Wes, a beautiful soul, who clearly loved what he did and shared his joy with us. Both my wife and I have a background in hospitality and really recognized his willingness to go above and beyond. He explained wines in an approachable way for a novice but was also able to geek out with me about the wines I had a decent background in. He made celebrating our honeymoon a beautiful event! My wife is currently texting friends as I write this to recommend this vineyard. It is super special to be in a gorgeous location, sipping beautiful wines and be able to really find what lights you up. Obviously we bought several bottles but it wasn't a hard sale. The wines sold themselves. 10/10 would so again. If you can request, do have the pleasure of Wes serving you -- he's unreal!

If you are reading this review, then you're most likely interested in doing a tasting here. Our rating is based off our tasting experience. My wife and I were greeted soon after arriving, the tasting was explained to us, and we decided to take a seat on the back deck. The deck was a lovely place to sit and enjoy the views while sipping on some wine. What disappointed us was the service. We waited a long time in between pours, which by itself I can understand. They don't want you to feel rushed. However, after our third pour the server said she would be back with more water and to tell us about the wine. She never came back. We sat outside for another 10-15 minutes before we came back in. Finally when she remembered we had one last pour we didn't receive any type of apology. Seems as if she completely forgot. Instead of waiting another 15 minutes to check out, we approached the workers with our payment. Our server didn't even acknowledge our presence. Instead, someone we never met came over and rang us up. Our experience started out fine but quickly turned awkward and disappointing.

What an amazing experience! We were kindly welcomed and taken care of. They have a beautiful establishment and our visit was very informative. We were able to meet the wine marker and got to taste their grapes. This place is new but was by far our favorite winery out of the 6 we visited. Yes, they are pricey but the quality is there. Overall the price for the tasting was well worth it. I would recommend this only to my closest friends because I'm hoping to keep it my little secret! Took home 4 bottles. Thanks to Domaine Roy & Fils! Really appreciate your attentiveness. You guys made our trip!

Pricey tasting at $25, perhaps they have to pay off the building-which is indeed beautiful. Wines are overrated & expensive compared to many of the other wonderful wineries & wines of the area. We are not novices to wine, have enjoyed the wines of this area & many other areas of Oregon & Washington over the past 12 years No reason for us to return.

Enjoyed a wine tasting with family this weekend. Great service, wine and view. The staff was professional and friendly.

An absolutely beautiful place with amazing views, hospitality and wine. Had a tasting with my daughter and future daughter in law and it was undeniably the best wine I've had, especially the Chardonnay. Treat yourself and take a few bottles home. You won't regret it.

We had an amazing experience at Domaine Roy & fils. The staff was VERY knowledgeable about the wine and the history of the vineyard and the wine was outstanding! We thoroughly enjoyed all of their wines and the overall experience. We loved to hear about their process of wine making and how they don't manipulate the soil content, instead embracing the soil/land they have. It truly felt like a special experience and a place that we would love to return to!

Had a wonderful experience at Domaine Roy & Fils! Walked in without a reservation on a Saturday afternoon and received exceptional service from Andrew. He was incredibly attentive and gave us wonderful information about wine and the process they use to make it there. Learned how their wine is fully organic, versus some of the neighboring wineries. He gave us a tour, showing us the fields and how the grapes are pressed -- way above and beyond any other winery I've been to! Definitely recommend asking for Andrew, he is s!

We stumbled upon this vineyard on a drive through the Dundee hills, and were initially drawn in by the sleek, modern architecture and the INCREDIBLE view! Upon entering, the structure itself was as pristine as the view. We were greeted immediately by Melissa, who proceeded to be an informative, personable, and attentive host. While $25 might initially seem a bit steep, I assure you this tasting is worth it! It begins with a glass of authentic champagne as you take in the view, followed by a tour of the property along with an interesting run through of the production process. The actual tasting follows, and the wines sampled were all wonderful - each unique but part of an exceptional collection. Melissa was there to answer all our many questions honestly and informatively and I can't tell you how much we took away from the tasting. She was knowledgable and without being pretentious, which can be hard to find when visiting more upscale wineries. We left with a bottle of our favorite 2013 Petite Incline and enjoyed it over dinner tonight, thinking back fondly of our visit, exactly how a great bottle should be enjoyed. Fabulous, fabulous, fabulous!

Here's the thing: I appreciate the white-glove guided experience of the wine tasting with our own personal attendant and other nice finishing touches. But, for the price and the price of the didn't-knock-my-socks-of-wine, I kind of wished we kept on driving. My friend and I stopped by not knowing you needed an appointment nor what the tasting entailed. There wasn't anyone there, so they invited us in. The person helping us was very friendly and the tasting room and deck were spectacular. Also, I was super appreciative of my dog being allowed in. We started off with a tasting of champagne and were moved to a flight-type style with all the wines being poured at once. Starting from their Chardonnay to a couple varieties of their Pinot Noir. The wines were just ok and the tastings were crazy small (barely enough to really get a feel for the difference among the reds, in particular). For $25 per tasting, they could do a bit better. It was a bit pretentious. The tasting fee is waved with a bottle purchase, but the bottle prices were exorbitant. I know wine can be expensive, and I'm not above paying for something I really like. However, this was a bit much. On all counts.

Outstanding wine and tasting room. Definitely appealing to the higher end pinot drinker. They have expensive Oregon pinot and its delicious.

We stopped by this winery because we couldn't help but notice their building as we drove by on our way down the hill and were intrigued because we haven't heard of Domaine Roy & Fils before. The building was beautiful on the inside and outside and includes a panoramic view that was breathtaking even on a cloudy day. I enjoyed the linear tasting of their Maison pinot noir wines from 2013, 2014 and 2015 because it was interesting to see the difference from each year. However, the tasting felt very rushed and our server didn't seem very personable. I read another review that said their service was super slow, but ours was the complete opposite! If our glasses still have the previous wine in it after just a few minutes, we are not ready for the next one. The tasting was also on the pricier side ($25) and only included 4 wines. I may return when they are bottling wine from their own estate, but may try other wineries first.

Andrew was excellent! He really made our wine tasting experience. He explained wine in detail, was very friendly, & a great host! Loved it, will most definitely be back
