Ora et Labora Wine Shop and Vinum Lounge Event Space

We had an amazing experience during our accidental discovery visit. Boy am I glad we stopped in! Dave was kind and approachable and made perfect recommendations. We tried wines from all over Europe as well as local wines. I learned a few new things in our short visit and am looking forward to retuning and trying out a class or two! They also have an event space that was beautiful too!

Wine is GREAT, atmosphere is GREAT, etc etc but Dave and Brent are awesome, so dedicated to their trade! I could have talked to them all night. For what it’s worth the salted normandy butter might be better than the Eem food down the street.

What a gem of a wine bar! Friendly owner greeted us right away. We enjoyed excellent wines in the cozy but elegant atmosphere. Looking forward to my next visit!

Amazing atmosphere, conversation and wine. The owner Dave is an awesome and knowledgeable guy. Was so happy to stumble upon this place. Definitely will be back!

I've come here often and it's always a fantastic experience! The owner is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, making each visit feel personal and enjoyable. The selection of wines is top-notch, and I love the relaxed yet welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a great place to enjoy quality wine!

The wines are fantastic, the hospitality is top notch, and I can't wait to go back! I came for a wine class and left with more knowledge, but more importantly a deeper love for the word of winemaking.

David & Sarah were absolutely epic hosts. They were SO easy to work and plan with and everything went 100% to plan. The venue is absolutely adorable and I'm already looking for an excuse to host another asap! Definitely consider them/this venue if you're hosting a private event!

Did a lovely wine tasting experience with Dave, learned so much in a very non-pretentious way to help demystify wine tasting for us. Had a blast! Dave and his wife have created such a fun, gorgeous space to expo and my palate and enjoy great company

Williams is where it is at ~ top notch restaurants, bars and now a wine lounge! Inside ~ impressive bottle collection on the wall, upscale comfort in design to chill in. Friendly & knowledgeable owners & staff to guide what your mood is in the taste for. Events, classes, music. Awesome addition to this neighborhood.

Super Duper sweet couple that runs this joint. Personable, upbeat, and willing to chat and answer questions about their space. They support local, which is amazing, and the options that they have for wines is just impressive. You can do a wine flight, have a glass, or purchase a bottle. Checking out the bathroom wallpaper is totally worth a stop in! It's just beautiful. I've heard they are going to have some sort of music every other month or so. Check them out and enjoy this new wine shop.

This is lovely wine shop that is new to the North Williams block and I couldn't be happier about this new addition. Owners, Sarah and David, offer an intimate experience and top notch customer service. They have a wine tasting menu that rotates weekly along with a diverse selection of wines that will not disappoint. Plus, just look at this aesthetic background to sip your wine to. 10/10 would highly recommend a visit!

I absolutely loved my experience! The owner was very knowledgeable, and helped me pick out a wine that helped me to win second place at my blind wine tasting. I would definitely recommend checking this place out! I will definitely be back.

One of my favorite places in portland. I live around the corner so have ended up becoming somewhat of a regular here; it's a great place to buy a bottle or to sit down and taste wine. The owners love educating people on wine and there is zero level of pretentiousness that you may find at other wine shops or wineries in general. Perhaps a random note, but definitely get their bread and butter if you're looking for a snack with your white wine

Beautiful wine shop with an excellent selection. Perfect for grabbing a glass and taking a bottle home with you. We are regulars and also hosted a birthday party there and all of our guests raved about it!

This place rocks. Friendly staff. Wonderful selection. Comfy aesthetic. Snacks were quick and tasty.

This place is a gem! Wonderful ambiance, welcoming owners as they meet you at the level of engagement you want. The wine selection is impressive. They are exceptionally knowledgeable about wine in the most approachable way. This place is a must and our new favorite place to pop in for a glass or bring home some bottles.

Really sweet inside with lots of places to chill. Friendly service and tons of selection at a good price. A new favorite!

I've attended three of their wine tasting classes and have enjoyed them very much. Dave is a great presenter and very knowledgeable. They also have a great selection of win with fair prices. I will keep coming back!
