Saginaw Vineyard

Absolutely beautiful venue and great service! The wine was delicious and the playful sheep and adorable Blue Heeler pup was fun to watch as he learned herding. We stayed the night through Harvest Host and it was such a great time. Anyone passing through I would highly recommend stopping to experience the charming Saginaw Vineyard.

Went on a Sunday afternoon. It got busy but we were able to get a table outside. What a wonderful place! The scenery is lovely with the free range chickens and horses/ goats in the background. Absolutely beautiful space. I had a mixed wine flight that was perfectly balanced. I also had the broccoli and brie pizza which was very good but could have been cooked just a tad longer. Overall, I’d definitely come back. Also pet friendly!

Last night we posted up at Saginaw Vineyard—our favorite little wine-sipping, music-playing, red-barn dreamscape in the Willamette Valley. The hills were rolling, the wine was flowing, and the company? Top shelf. We spent the evening soaking up every last drop of Central Oregon charm. There were animals. There was music.There may have been a tipsy twirl or two. Ten out of ten, would frolic again.

Always a lovely time at Saginaw Vineyards. I love that you can bring your own food and they have the beverages covered. Springtime means baby animals on the farm. Music on Fridays and brunch on Sunday are my faves. Wine slushies on a hot day are always a winner. Staff is friendly and the owners are great! Conveniently located right of the freeway, this place is a gem. I love how quiet and relaxing it is! 🍷

Cute little winery right off of I5. Beautiful old barn tasting room. Went on Friday night and had a blast! Great food, awesome live music from 6-9 and also played some Wine-O (bingo) between set breaks for the band. Had a great time out and will definitely be back!

Great food and wine, relaxed setting with friendly wildlife. A great way to spend an evening.

We stopped on the spur of the moment because we saw an advertisement on the interstate. It’s a lovely place. They do not do flights, so my husband, daughter and I got different glasses so we could have a taste of different wines. We especially loved the rosé and pinot noir. If we didn’t have to fly home, we would have bought bottles to take with us.

We visit during summers when visiting family who are members. Beautiful vineyard, tasty wines, and local live entertainment.

Stopped by on our way back to Eugene with our son who lives there. He had wanting to stop by here. You drive down a road with the grapes on one side and goats and sheep on the other. Quite the welcoming crew. The tasting room is an old barn. Really a neat set up. We ended getting a couple of glasses of their Pinot Noir and a rose. I quite enjoyed the Pinot. My son enjoyed the rose. They had a cat named Virgil who was as sweet as can be. He followed my wife to the sofa and proceeded to sit on her the whole time. Beautiful setting and the wine was good.

We visited Saginaw Vineyard on June 5, 2024, and not knowing what to expect,  we were amazed at this beautiful Vineyard. Inside and out,  this is such a warm, relaxing, and welcoming destination. The grounds feature a pasture full of beautiful goats, prancing horses and calves.  There are several outdoor seating areas set up to enjoy their exceptional Moody Blue Blueberry Port and their white Muller Thurgau.  The inside clubhouse is warm, comfortable, and just perfect for relaxing and playing "Wine-o" (fun Bingo), so along with the whole outside setting,  it all added up to a completely idyllic experience. ( We actually were able to play Wine-o outside,  since it was so nice). This is truly a wonderful, surprising place. Our host, Kelli, was such a friendly,  knowledgeable and personable representative. Overall,  a Vineyard location that must be visited more than once.

How have I not reviewed Saginaw before!? This is hands down one of my favorite places to take my family. It is the most family friendly and least pretentious winery you will ever find. The owners are onsite most of the time and they are incredible people. The tasting room is an over 100 year old barn, the outside seating is super fun with farm animals roaming. I was there yesterday and they had many baby sheep roaming around. They hold events regularly, like live music and markets. You can tell they very much love and care for the local community. Along with their red and white wines, they do sell a blueberry port which is super good and unique and a raspberry wine that is super clean, a little tart and a nice treat on a sunny day.

What a beautiful property and tasting room! We stayed the night in our van as this property is in the Harvest Host program and it was a wonderful stay. We shared a cheese board and some wine in the tasting room (the bar area of the tasting room is 120 years old). The girl who helped was amazing and there's cats and dogs to pet and horses, goats, ducks and chickens on the property too.

I was crushed that I couldn't make it back here for a 2nd visit. I was going to surprise the family with a visit here on the last night of our vacation, but alas, my son was feeling like garbage. So I'm writing this review from back at the Airbnb, drinking the inferior wine we bought at the grocery store and NOT being present at this awesome venue and NOT enjoying a cheese board. The kids would have loved this place. Super friendly cat (Virgil), awesome chill huge dog (hate that I'm forgetting his name), horses, goats, tons of room outside to run... This place is family friendly fo sho. I originally stopped by here after wearing the family out. Everyone else needed downtime while I, Mr FOMO must-pack-every-second-of-vacation-with-experiences, sought this place out alone. (After vetting it on Yelp and making sure they had bold red wine, of course.) Kelly (Keli? Kelli? Kellie? I hate misspelling names) was the first stellar staff member I met, and she nailed my flight. Good selection, correct order, and super friendly and professional. She rocked. Then I got to meet Ben, the mad scientist behind the wine - awesome to meet him and get to see the rest of the vines behind the tasting room and "forward-facing" vines. I may have asked him lots of dumb questions. Then I got to meet owner Ali (Alli?), who was super personable and down to earth for owning such an incredible spot. The barn tasting room is 120-years old, but the original owners sold not that long ago (about a year or two?). The vines are from the 90's - plenty mature. After my flight, I enjoyed a glass of the Barbera Reserve, which was easily my favorite of the flight and was a great glass to savor. I would have had another if I didn't need to pick up the kids and head over to my aunt and uncle's. Really solid wine. So! After not getting to end our vacation revisiting this high note of a stop, I was, truly, honestly, crushed. Should the greed in me have won and should I have dragged my poor blech-feeling kid to the winery tonight? *sigh* Probably not...

The setting is adorable, the cows grazing that you can pet, the dogs and cats - all so fun and unique. Unfortunately their wine just isn't great and the service was... rude. The woman with dark hair was not friendly, polite, nor did she appear to care at all about her crummy attitude. She also charged us full price for our (not good) bottles of wine when we were the during happy hour prices.

Hostess was very rude. It ruined the experience. Setting was nice but the service was very bad.

Best kept secret of the Valley, Family Friendly Farm & Vineyard. Live Music on Friday Nights, Dinner & Dancing! Vendor Market @ the End of the Month on Sunday 11-5 Local Vendors, Wine & Brunch! Beautiful Venue for Anniversaries, Birthdays, Bridal Showers, Holiday Parties, Reunions, Weddings & More.

A lovely rainy Sunday brunch with our little family. Fresh, home style cooking. All you can eat, with live piano music in the background. If you like barns, fresh eggs and a country feel, you'd probably enjoy this as much as we did.

We had a lovely stop at Saginaw Vineyard. They have a generous selection of sweet(er) wines, the holiday sweet wine flight was awesome. We came home with a bottle of resiling for ourselves and one for a gift. I hope to come back on a warmer day before we leave Oregon!

I was there last weekend with a friend that has wanted to take me there for years. Well it will be my first and last time. The hostess was so very rude, wouldn't describe the wines, made me feel as though tasting was an in convenience and to be truthful, the wine was not great. My friend was mortified after talking them up for years. The cat greeted us and was the best part of the visit. Then went to Sweet Cheeks and was so impressed with them that I am a new wine club member.. you missed out Saginaw

I stopped by Saginaw Vineyards last Friday and it was by far the worst experience I have had at a winery. The hostess was rude and made us feel unwelcome. We were not greeted with a smile when we walked in because she had her face buried in her tablet. We finally asked if we could taste some wine and she replied back "if you would like". She provided no recommendations and in no way tried to sell us on Saginaw Vineyards. My friend asked for a recommendation, and she replied, "I don't know you, so I don't know what you like". We left after about 10 minutes. Worst experience I have had ever had at a winery.

Was really disappointed. Actually beyond disappointed with my experience. It was my first trip here and felt totally unwanted and unwelcome. There was an event being set up and waited in the tasting room for over 5 minutes before anyone walked in. When they did come in I said I'm here for a wine tasting the response was, what can I get you. No smile no explantation nothing. I picked a wine on the list and then she said anything else. I was totally confused. She didn't take the time to explain the tasting menu so again I said well I was here for a tasting how does that work. She said we charge by the glass or bottle or a flight of you want to pick 4. I didn't want to stay longer so said thanks and left. Horrible service. Would not recommend this. If you're passing through the area and looking to try some wines don't stop here.

This winery is absolutely adorable. It is small and cozy and the service is friendly and inviting. Trivia on Tuesday's was casual and fun to enjoy while sipping on wine. Unfortunately, the quality of wine was disappointing in comparison to many of the wineries in the Eugene area. Still worth a trip out on a nice day to enjoy live music and bring your own snacks to enjoy!

A great value and really nice folks. Good for date night! Crème brûlée is fantastic. Chianti of the day is always good. Carbonara and lasagna are great comfort food options. Portions are great for the reasonable prices.

We've been up here every year since the last four years. It's a favorite stop of ours. The lady who helped us was so sweet, energetic, and loving. We love the u pick blueberries and can't wait to do it again. It's our daughter's favorite activity up here. Seems they have a lot more activities now like summer music. Fun. Wish we could have been here to enjoy that as well. Next time.

Love love love this wonderful family vineyard in a lovely country setting. I'm a wine club member and have my favorites. The berry ports are OFF THE HOOK-- and I can never get enough of the blackberry wine. It is ALWAYS in my wine room. You shouldn't go through life without a glass of their blueberry port, either! Soooo.... Raspberry wine... blueberry... blackberry... died and gone to heaven! Today I picked up my wine club order and they have a new Pepper Jelly dessert wine made w the Muller Thurgeau (?) base and fortified with jalapeños and Carolina Reapers. It's sweet and SPICY! I bought 10 bottles. LOL Can't wait to try it in a hand-crafted top-shelf Cadillac Margarita. Fresh LIME, great tequila, Grand Marnier, Pepper Jelly wine! Mmm yessss!

Such a cute winery. They have plenty of outdoor and indoor seating and there are animals everywhere which we loved. We got to pet a dog, cat and even a rooster. The red wine was delicious as well and we left with several bottles.

They're all pretty. I'd come back for sure from cali. Jacob is the man. I'm not a wine guy but he made it a great experience for my wife and I. Give this man a raise

I'm so happy my mom and I found this Winery on our way back from a trip. This Winery is secluded, hidden back. We were immediately greeted, and offered a wine tasting. The wine tasting was free, and we were offered various reds, a blush, and a reisling. All of the wines had an amazing, clean taste. I'm not usually a red wine drinker, but I liked there's. I especially loved the blush, having to buy myself a bottle! The atmosphere was so relaxing, and cutely decorated. There is little gifts to buy, and even food options. They do have gluten free options too! I hope to come back to this spot! It is a gem and the staff/atmosphere is so welcoming!

This is a sweet, family owned vineyard that definitely has a mom and pop feel to it. They offer free tastings (up to 5 per person) and their bottles as well as single glasses of wine are very reasonably priced. They have a handful of dryer whites and reds and also feature sweeter fruit-based wines (which remind me a lot of wineries and cideries in the Midwest--they are fun to try if you haven't, even if you're not a big fan of sweeter wines). We typically enjoy their Pinot noir, and they have a unique varietal called Marechal Foch which is worth trying. I also recommend the raspberry wine--they take Riesling and add fresh raspberries to the base. Overall, this is a fun, small and inviting winery to try out.

If you don't have fun here, you need therapy. My wife and I are visiting from Nashville so we know how to have fun. The 12 flight wine tasting is FREE. Did you hear me.....it's FREE! This craft winery is spot on in hospitality. It's in a rustic barn built in 1912. The wine is solid, we actually enjoyed all 12 that we tried. We also had a bowl of bean and chicken soup from the kitchen. I am a southern boy who grew up on beans......we both agreed it was one of the best bean soups we have had. It is priced at $13 a bowl and being the frugal man that I am, I raised my eyebrows at first....after eating it, it is worth every penny and more. Don't let the price deter you. The chef is the owner's granddaughter and she has a bright future ahead of her. The rest of the menu looks great as well. Jacob was our host, he is a young man who recently moved from CA. He knows a thing or two about wine. He is wise beyond his years. His description of each wine as spot on, authentic, and fun for a non wine expert like me but technical enough for a wine expert like my wife. He effortlessly took care of the standing bar area, the table seating area, and ran back and forth from the kitchen like a New York waiter during rush hour and didn't miss a beat. He was able to fully engage with each guest and make you feel special. The guy is a superstar. We will definitely be back. I normally don't write reviews this long but I wanted to make sure it got the credit it deserved.

Great family friendly stop right off I-5. Good unpretentious wine tasting for grown ups. Simple cheese boards, soups, and pizza for easy light meal. Large outdoor space and animals for the kids. They even do live music on Friday night. What's not to love?!

I am giving out stars todays as I can't say enough good thing about Oregon wines. Saginaw brings some fine wines for tasting. The Chardonnay was ok but then again that isn't my cup of tea. The Pinots were great as well as the Shiraz . Great place to stop to taste. Great service in an old barn and had the honor of two great barn cats who sat with us as we tasted the wine.

It should be stated that I'm not a practiced wine-drinker and can't comment on the wines with any expertise, so this review is more about the vibe, general experience, and the food. This is a cute mom and pop style place, with complimentary wine tasting in a barn, outdoor seating, and u-pick berries in warmer seasons. The menu is not upscale or gourmet, but they clearly put a lot of care into the food. I thought the cornbread was especially delicious--nice comfort food with the tomato soup. I liked many of the wines I tried, and I appreciated that they were all extremely different from each other, which made tasting fun. The only moment that burst the bubble for me was when we were given Hershey's kisses because one of the wines "pairs well with chocolate." I wonder if it would break the bank for them to distribute higher quality chocolate, even in minuscule pieces. I don't think Hershey's pairs well with anything except Halloween. (The wine it was supposed to go with, though, was quite good!)

Fantastic stop on the way to Eugene! The raspberry and blackberry wines are absolutely delicious!! We live in the Bay and frequently visit Napa valley wineries. I wish there was a winery like this there. It's a beautiful drive and great views! Dog friendly which is a huge plus for us. Thank you Jacob for the fantastic service and tips about things to see and do.

This place is fantastic!! I came here on a Friday night with my family for their live music and we had such a great time. We loved it. It's a charming winery with plenty of space and great wines. We had about 20 people in our party and everyone enjoyed a different wine. The tasting is free, which is great, so we could all figure out what we liked most and then we just bought bottles for the evening. The bottles are well priced and the ambiance there is wonderful. We enjoyed the live music and the "Wine-O" (like bingo) game during the breaks for the band. During the summertime, they'll play outside and the space is beautiful. They have string lighting out in the grass and it would make a beautiful setting for an event or party. There's plenty of parking and it was very easy to find. Everyone there was super friendly and helpful. They knew a lot about the wines and offered suggestions. My favorite wine of the night was the Pinot Noir from Red Hills. It was elegant and approachable. We ended up buying an extra bottle to take home with us. I definitely recommend this place, especially on a Friday night. We can't wait to come back!

Seriously, free tastings? I like sweetish wine and fell in love with their blackberry. We also really enjoyed the Pinot Gris a lot. We went their during lambing season as got to see several youngsters. There was plenty of room for our grandkids to run. Owners are very friendly. We had a great time. We'll definitely go back on our next trip to the area and buy more wine.

The location is beautiful but a bit noisy with the I-5 running close by. The service is excellent. It was a sunny but cold(er) afternoon and the place was busy. However, the gentleman pouring the wines never lost his cool and was friendly and un-pretentious. Where can you still get a free wine tasting for several different wines? This is the place. I did not care for any of the 2 whites I tried (Chardonnay or Pinot Gris). The reds were interesting but not rich enough in taste for me. The raved-about blackberry wine was over-the-top sweet and could easily function as a syrup poured over ice cream or in a cocktail... (I know, sacrilege to say, but it tasted like a "kids-wine" to me). The Pinot noir rosé 2018 was sweet with a tarter finish, great for sipping in the sun with some tart apples and smoked salmon to pair it with. And I saw it was awarded some prices this year, understandably so. I understand that everyone has their own favorites/taste in wine and I would suggest just to stop by and give this place a try. They are truly super friendly!

The Blackberry wine is such sweet wine. Love it! This winery has a darling gift shop too with honey, jewelry, wine gifts, and artwork. Absolutely love the charm. Try the Sweet and spicy japenaro pepper jelly wine for a kick and s punch to knock down a cold. So much fun and unique berry wines at decent true prices. Definitely a great spot for tastings. Wine tastings are free with purchase or with the Oregon Wine Passport. Loads of fun.

Until I saw these guys sign on the road I didn't even know Oregon had its own Saginaw, I was always familiar with Saginaw, MI. Traffic on the highway was starting to suck so when I saw their sign I figured it was a good place to try some local product and let the idiots drive ahead of me. It's a nice little homey place and the girl working behind the counter was pleasant and helpful. This area of the world does grow beaucoup grapes and this winery was very close to the highway which made it an ideal stop. Had a small flight of their wines and while I was tasting, one of their vinters came out with a wine he was working on and I was able to sample that as well. Their fruit wines were especially good and I walked out with blueberry wine and a bottle of a jalapeno wine that was very good. If you see the signs you should def stop in. They have entertainment on the weekends and quite frankly that part of the state has some beautiful scenery. At different times of the year you can also pick fruit at this family owned business. Make the stop and you won't regret it.

This is a great little vineyard with unique offerings as well as the usual ones. The berry wines were amazing and very different. The best part about this place was the location and the staff. Down to earth, friendly, and free tastings, which is rare these days. We ended up each having a glass and enjoying the space. I only wish we lived close enough to visit on a Friday night for their live music night.

We live in a wonderful part of the world. The secret is out. Sorry I just gave up that information to those not living in this part of the country. They were eventually going to find out. It seems like all of our trips revolve around some form of vineyarding. I'm thinking we might be winos. Oh well. There are worse things to be. Not even quite sure how we found out about Saginaw. We were down in Cottage Grove for the long holiday weekend and somehow we found out there was a vineyard nearby. No reason not to go so on a Sunday afternoon after a tour of covered bridges (Cottage Grove is the covered bridge capital of Oregon) we headed over as we knew there would be wine and we knew there would be live music. If you can get here on a beautiful day, you owe it to yourself to come to Saginaw. It was the perfect way to spend a few afternoon hours. First off there is nothing pretentious about wine tasting around here. Wine tastings are free and you will end up tasting about 10-12 wines. Pretty crazy. Everything from Pinot Gris to Marechal Foch. Late Harvest Riesling to Blackberry Wine. We did the wine tasting and had a nice conversation with the woman pouring. We were the only ones there at the time of our tasting and really got that one to one treatment. If you come on a Sunday afternoon this time of year there will be live music (1-4pm) and lasagna. We had a big hunk of it for $7 along with a glass each of wine. The music was good, the weather was perfect and the scenery was beautiful. With Sue by my side I couldn't think of anywhere else in the world I would rather have been. Chalk up another good vineyard in Oregon. We are full of them.

They are the best for wines and a great atmosphere. Friday nights and wine club parties are awesome. Great entertainment! Wines are delicious and well priced.

The girl Mel working was so friendly! You get a free complimentary wine tasting up to 5 wines which is a great deal! We tried a variety of them! It was cool to see they use their blueberry farm to make some of their wines. They had a spicy pepper wine which was unique and fun to try. The tasting room is in an old barn and is such a cool atmosphere. We got a bbq pizza as well which was delicious!! It fed 4 of us. We will definitely be back!!

I loooove this vineyard. It's so accessable right off I5 or Hwy 99. The staff is very friendly and the wine is great. They have bands on Friday nights and special events for members. I definitely reccomend stopping by.

This is a friendly, warm, welcoming vineyard. I LOVE the barn and the rustic feel of the tasting room. Tried multiple wines, all of which were delicious. I'm not a white wine fan, but their wines were actually palatable for me. They have a couple of blackberry wines that are super delicious. I ended up purchasing the Marechal Foch. Fantastic! The hostess was down home, friendly, chatty, etc. Beautiful vineyard that this family has worked so hard on. I recommend Saginaw Vineyard.

Customer service is hands down amazing !! The guy in there was so personable and knew his wines. Super cute winery ! We are mid road trip and saw a sign for the winery and we stopped by so glad we did!! You get five free tastings per person.

I live in Cottage Grove and have seen the highway sign countless times. I finally decided to check it out. My friend and I went and tasted a few wines before deciding on the much raved about blackberry wine. It didn't disappoint. It was much sweeter than I thought but it was delicious (and potent). We sat outside at a table and listened to the live music while we sipped at our wine. The staff were very welcoming and didn't mind answering my questions about the wines we sampled. I highly recommend going to Saginaw Vineyard. I'll be back soon!

It's impossible to be pretentious when your tasting room is in a barn and you have the most darling woman ever (Karen) pouring your wine for you. We were lucky enough to hear about their free music and tasting on Friday evenings a few months back and kicked it in their barn for the evening. I thought their pinot noir and cab francs were only okay. I enjoyed the silver medal-winning rosé that started sweet and finished dry. Their Marechal Foch was excellent when paired with chocolate and we found the blackberry port to be very mellow. In fact all their wines paired well with the food we brought along. The prices points were very reasonable. Worth stopping in!

Beautiful setting! Great service! Owner of the winery served us and was passionate about the place and the wine! Her husband has planted and built this place up from scratch and has done an amazing job! Definitely worth your stop!

TJ says: Our trip to Saginaw Vineyards came about at the suggestion of the host at the Iris Hill tasting room. The Saginaw tastings take place in a barn behind the owners house. We found this vineyard and tasting experience to be the least pretentious and enjoyed the DIY aspect - we were inspired to live on land enough to grow some of our own grapes, too. I enjoyed the majority of wines in the tasting, though I would have enjoyed trying some of the specialty port they're working on - I don't remember exactly what it was. Blueberry, perhaps. Maybe Charlie remembers. Charlie says: Blackberry port I believe. The blueberries they use for their blueberry wine are grown at the vineyard and they bring the blackberries in from a local source. I was very pleased after trying all of their wines. If you enjoy red wines, you must try the Marechal Foch. It was an experience.

I was so happy to have found this place while in the area for work. the nicest people, great wine, a beautiful property, and a perfect way to end a long day of travel. I loved being able to sit outside, pet the dogs, and enjoy a glass of wine (even near closing time) without feeling rushed. please don't be surprised if I move here and become a regular!

I wanted to say a great big THANK YOU to Riley! You are an angel! I called last minute to get a gift card for my in-laws. Riley went out of her way to ensure that they would have it by Christmas, AMAZING. Riley is polite, professional and the an asset to the winery. Merry Christmas and thank you! -Cheers Encinitas, CA

Karen was extremely friendly and nice. Really took the time and gave us a very hospitable sincere warm service. Would go back here again. Not only the wine was great, their service is beyond excellence.

Friendly service, complimentary wine tasting, and pretty good wines. We bought a bottle of the blackberry wine because it was delicious and the best we tried!

The Byler family provides a most outstanding experience for guests! I visited when they were hosting a local retirement home, and the hospitality was incredibly heartwarming. Anna (Napa trained chef), Mel and the entire family were very friendly and welcoming to all. Jackson even brought out some fresh, delicious pre-fermented juice (Muller Thurgau), as well as some special fortified chocolate ice cream. The Bylers offer five free tastes; I particularly enjoyed the Estate Pinot Noir (very light), the Syrah (wonderful black cherry notes), the Marechal Foch (great backstory), and the Blueberry wine.The family is very down to earth and sincerely care about sharing their lineage, their love of the land, and their life's work. Their wines are both award-winning and affordable, and they offer life music and festivities every Friday night,(Including the bingo game Wine-O).There is plenty of seating inside (original 120 year-old barn) or outside in the gorgeous apply orchard. This is a top choice for singles, couples or groups, especially on a Friday evening. I know you will enjoy it. So grateful for the lovely experience!

We loved it here. The wine is great and the scenery/atmosphere is stunning. The staff is friendly too. Oh, and don't forget to pick up some jam!

The hospitality is terrible and the wine - to be frank - tastes like fruit juice. Not for the upscale, nor is it family friendly. Try King Estate, instead.
