The Best Restaurants and Bars on North Williams Avenue in Portland, OR | Eater Portland

"Ora et Labora (Latin for “prayer and labor”) is indeed a labor of love from former journalist Sarah Gregory and former teacher Dave Gregory. Originally conceived as a wine shop, the Gregorys were pleasantly surprised to discover the growing popularity of shop’s elegant bar. In addition to almost 400 wines by the bottle available in the shop — with a heavy emphasis on France and Italy — the shop’s owners pour glasses at a range of price points and origins, as well as wine flights, nonalcoholic options, and Cistercian beers. With no stove on site, food options are limited to cold items like charcuterie, cheese, and almonds. Note: in deference to the subtle wines being poured and the impact of smell on tasting, outside food is not permitted." - Nathan Williams

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!

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

Nice little wine bar/shop/event space. Great selection of wines. They do a few wines by the glass that you may never get a chance to try. Did not try any food or was aware of a menu. Its a bit spendy for a glass $12-$17. The club chairs by the windows are nice to sit at and people watch.

The owner is a magnificent fellow, he really knows his wine, and will take the time to build you a flight just for you specifically based on what you like! What a guy. I'm really glad I stumbled in here randomly while I was having a rough day. I will definitely be back - even though I live 30-40 minutes away in Vancouver!

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 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.

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!
