Winderlea Vineyard & Winery

I thoroughly enjoyed my tasting experience at Winderlea. I arrived on a Monday and at a time when I was the only person in the tasting room so I felt well attended to. Staci guided me through the tasting and was friendly and knowledgeable about the wines and the region. After many years, this is my 2nd visit to Winderlea and I certainly hope to return.

What a friendly and beautiful place! The wine makers themselves were there as well as two lovely hosts who are very knowledgeable about the wine and vineyards. Fabulous views, great Pinots, and I loved the rosé too. We really enjoyed chatting with the wine hosts and absolutely would come back!

Upon arrival at the gorgeous and modern tasting room at Winderlea, Staci gave our party an incredible welcome and glass of their estates rosé. The building's design is impressive and walking out on to the porch makes you feel like you're floating into the vineyard. Staci seated us at a beautifully set table as she took the time to teach us about each wine. Staci is fun, friendly and has a great sense of humor. Learning about the estate, the rich history of vines, the soils the grapevines are grown in and how the climate in each year's vintage affected the skins and flavor profile of the grapes was really fun and interesting. I appreciate that Winderlea makes their tastings an educational experience without ego. Eric is a wealth of knowledge, his kindness and fun personality is perfectly suited to give you and your party an unforgettable experience. Scott also spoke with us about the wine industry and how Winderlea's wines are unique with vines from the 70s! Their wines are unique in that each one was different, none of them were sweet, and each one was truly enjoyable. The Winderlea Pinot Noirs have a lovely variety of flavor profiles, some of the ones with more spice and herbaceous finish were surprisingly delicious. I was incredibly surprised that one of my favorite wines we tried was the Pinot Blanc that Eric brought out. I'm not usually a white wine drinker, but this Pinot Blanc is not to be missed! I absolutely loved our experience here and am happy I brought bottles home to share with family. It's not hard to find a winery in the Dundee Hills, Winderlea does their tastings better than any other place I've had the pleasure of visiting. Staci & Eric truly made this place stand out with their impressive hospitality - we will definitely be frequent visitors. I highly recommend Winderlea as a top destination in Oregon's wine country.

I can’t describe how much I appreciated Staci & Scott’s fantastic and outstanding wine and property, valley knowledge. Both are very attentive to their guests and caring. Besides the exceptional experience the wine of course is one of the best in the Willamette Valley!

Winderlea Vineyard never disappoints! I’ve visited many times, and every single experience is top-notch — but our most recent visit was especially memorable thanks to Scott and Stacy. We had a last-minute request to bring an out-of-town guest, and not only did they graciously fit us in, they made our guest feel like a VIP from the moment we arrived. The warmth, knowledge, and hospitality that Scott, Stacy, and the entire Winderlea team bring to every visit is unmatched. And of course — the wine! Always incredible. Elegant, balanced, and truly some of the best in the Willamette Valley. Combine that with the breathtaking views and cozy tasting room, and you've got a gem that’s worth returning to again and again. Can’t wait for the next visit. Thank you, Winderlea!

My wife and I stopped at Winderlea Vineyards on Sat and had an excellent time. The view and wine was excellent,but the nicest thing there was the staff. Everyone was super friendly and knowledgeable. In particular, Eric spent time with us discussing the different wine, the history of the area and vineyard. He also gave us some wonderful ideas for local resturants. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and are looking forward to going back. If you are in the Dundee Hills area, you should give it a try.

My girlfriend and I had such an amazing experience here. The balcony seating is beautiful with a view of the rolling hills and vineyard. The owners are a pleasure to talk to and answered all of our questions. We will definitely come back here for another fun and beautiful day

Lovely wine tasting experience — loved the Imprint wines which were aged in Amphora. Our wine guide was really knowledgeable and gave us a great balcony tour of the vineyards, sheep biodynamic practices and history!

Winderlea is an absolute gem! My friends and i had such a lovely experience with Scott, Donna and Bill. The space and view are lovely and the wines were top notch. I absolutely recommend to anyone visiting the Willamette area.

We no longer live in Oregon but have so many wonderful memories of great moments and even greater Pinots from this boutique winery. Came back for a Grapes to Glass tour with Scott . Was a perfect Fall Saturday with such great tour, details and stories from Scott. Sampled another round of wonderful 2021 Pinots that brought back many memories that we signed up as Vitners and can't wait now for our upcoming deliveries. A very different and more intimate experience than the now many larger scale commercial and chain vineyards that now dominate the landscape.

Beautiful space with wonderful staff and amazing wine!! Recently attended a pop up new year event but facilities and staff were so welcoming and awesome made event even more special!!! Great wines amazing pairings plus awesome food!!! Great host awesome event!!

Outstandingly scrumptious pick up party today at Winderlea's tasting room. Such a beautiful setting to relax and enjoy their Pinots, chardonnays and Pinto Grid. Their pairing of a very tasty pork belly sandwich with a chocolate dipped shortbread cookie made my taste buds shout Yum! Really it was delicious it's mind the calories:) Highly recommend becoming a member. Friendly and knowledgeable staff.

Oh my heart. Winderlea popped my Oyster cherry-and will always have a place in my core memories. My husband and I have this ongoing passion for Oregon Wineries and our cousins have been dying to take us to Winderlea-for the Oysters! I am anti raw-seafood, I can't do it (a texture thing). However I was convinced to try Winderleas Canadian Oysters and we had to order a second serving!! Upon entering the facility you are immersed with Sunlight and a beautiful view of their Oregon Wine Country estate. The owner greeted us and got our order in promptly. The food was fresh and paired perfectly with the wine we had. Will definitely return!

This place has an AUH-mazing deck with an even more incredible view! And did I tell you that they had goats while we were there? All the cuties were mowing down the weeds just adjacent to the tasting room! We were warmly welcomed and enjoyed a quick bubbly toast to kick off the hubby's bday along with a cute sign at our tasting table that read "happy birthday " Overall great wine discussion, great wines, great experience!

Wine was good but our host was incredibly rude. The table was also chaos when we sat down. They had the whole flight poured already which in theory is great but the tables are so small it left very little room for anything else. The servers also never took the empty glasses out of the way, so we were just stuck with a dozen huge glasses on the table for the entirety of our visit. The host is what really turned us away from never going back though. Multiple rude comments were made when we walked through the door and we nearly turned around and left.

Fabulous Grape to Glass experience class! Thank you Winderlea and specifically Scott who led the class. We took our two sons to the Willamette valley for their first wine tasting. In my research I found this Grape to Glass experience and thought it would give the boys a good basic wine education. It was PERFECT. Scott explained everything in an aproachable way. We walked around the winery and learned about the history of the Pinot Noir, the evolution of the plant spacing, and tasted some grapes fresh of the vine. Throughout the walk around, we tasted several wines. (Scott was carrying the bottles with him in an insulated carrier. ) After the vineyard, we went into a small barrell room with a cheese plate ready for us. We tasted several wines from the barrels with different characteristics. Again, everything was presented in a clear way, with terminology that newcomers could understand. We took away a great lesson from Scott: don't focus on things you don't like, focus on things you DO like. Once you identify what do you like, keep paying attention and do your research. It will bring you to the wine that you will enjoy.

Amazing location! I went with my parents and my husband to this location in September for my birthday and we had amazing service! The view was absolutely stunning and peaceful I highly recommend visiting.

Outstanding! That's the first word that comes to mind when I think of my visit yesterday. What a way to start my wine tasting in this beautiful part of the world, indeed. A friend and I visited Winderlea on a quiet weekday afternoon and truly enjoyed our time. Ken was knowledge, attentive, and ensured we enjoyed our tasting of the lovely wines available that day. We really appreciated the experience that he guided for us. The flight of Pinot Noir was very high quality, and several were indeed outstanding. The tasting room location is also stunningly beautiful and we caught an exceptionally lovely day, which served to further enhance our experience. Working in the industry I visit a lot of wineries. Winderlea is one I would highly recommend and would gladly revisit.

Winderlea is a must when wine wasting in the Dundee Hills. Beautiful views of a rolling hills vineyard provide the perfect backdrop for enjoying their wide range of high quality wines. Staff are warm, welcoming, and a wealth of knowledge - treating you as if you're family at the dinner table, while giving great insights to their B Corp friendly winemaking practices. We will be frequenting Winderlea more often after such a great experience and already look forward to their vineyard hikes in the summer!

We had a wonderful time at Winderlea in the Dundee Hills! The view from the tasting room is spectacular. We chose the "Clue" tasting experience in which we had to figure out which wine was which from the introduction and tasting notes. This added a whole different dimension and helped to really think about the wines we tried. They were all delicious! I highly recommend a visit!

Fabulous Wines wonderful Vineyard gracious hosts at the Vineyard as well. Pinot Noirs are great. Chardonnay was very good.

A truly enjoyable experience! The wines and the hospitality were both the best we experienced while here. Theresa was the ultimate host, We sampled 6 wines and a bubbly and had trouble deciding which was the best. They were all that good. Highly recommend stopping at Winderlea to enjoy some amazing wine.

We had a great tasting experience. Theresa was so informative, patient, and educational. Best part of our trip to wine country was coming to the Winderlea and our tasting with Theresa!

This is a long review, and if you don't have time to read it, know this: Moral of the story, if you want to be a member of a vineyard that discriminates against babies and new mothers, Winderlea is the place for you. We have been a fan of Winderlea for a long time, but today we experienced customer service that was so bad that we immediately cancelled our membership and will never do business with them again. Please note, we are vaccinated and cautious people and follow all health regulations. My fiance and sister arrived for their tasting with vaccine cards in hand and ready for a tasting only to have Winderlea have the audacity to ask for the vaccine card of the newborn infant that was with them. Of course, you can only vaccinate those over the age 5, not 3 month old infants. Winderlea then turned them away (!!!!!!) from an empty tasting room and cancelled their tasting because the infant was not vaccinated... despite the fact that infants can't be vaccinated. This is ludicrous for so many reasons. Most of which are obvious to anyone who thinks about it for more than two seconds. But instead of awknowledging that they made a mistake, Winderlea called me to tell me that they enforced their policy as they meant to. Meaning that they are literally discriminating against women and mother's with their illogical policy. I will never do business with this winery again, no matter how good the wine is.

This is a long post, so here is the synopsis: I'd recommend skipping Winderlea if you want to have a pleasant, family-friendly experience wine tasting, with kind, accommodating staff -- because we encountered the exact opposite at our visit. I was turned away from their entirely empty tasting room because I brought my two-month old infant along and she was not vaccinated against COVID. Mind you, the CDC, WHO, and every other recognized health authority, do not recommend vaccinating those under 5, but apparently this does not matter to the Winderlea team. Additionally, I was vaccinated while she was in Utero - so she's about as inoculated as one her age can be. I can appreciate a business wanting to be extremely cautious about COVID, as I am in the care of my daughter, but turning away a patron because her infant who is in a carrier (equivalent of a mask for them) is not inoculated when they are not recommended to be borders on absurd. And best part: the tasting room staff watched me struggle to get her into her infant carrier for 5 minutes in the parking lot, giving them plenty of time to come out and tell me not to struggle because we wouldn't be able to taste, but instead waited till I had gone through all of that and we were inside to drop the bomb. It was a completely empty tasting room and one of them could have easily come outside and made the slightest effort. It's clear Winderlea's staff and owner have no empathy for new mothers. I will not be returning to Winderlea, and I recommend you steer clear as well.

The igloos are so much fun! Great wine, loved the down to earth service all around a wonderful safe experience.

Our visit to Winderlea's tasting room last week was our introduction to the wine. Both tasting room and wine were among the top four favorites of our three days of wine tasting using the Dundee Winemakers Passport. WINERY FOCUS: Boutique, limited production winery specializing in Pinot Noir. They also bottle Chardonnay. Per bottle retail prices range from roughly $36 for Chardonnay to over $70 for Pinot Noir. Under another label, Worden Hill, they are making cool climate Syrah. The latter was not at the Winderlea tasting room, but learning we are Syrah fans the hosts talked with us about it and we're eager to try that as well when it is available. TASTING ROOM: Spare contemporary design which is elegant, in the technical use of the term, and welcoming. Harder to pull off than one thinks in that motif. Stunning views. Appeared that some of the windows could be rolled up in good weather. Seating both inside and outside on a deck if you want to stay and sip a bottle or glass. TASTING SET UP / WINES: The fee here is steep, $15, and not refunded with purchase. It is the reason we had not been there before. For Passport holders the fee was cut in half. ($7.50). However, the tasting fee is not kept by Winderlea; all proceeds are donated to a medical program that provides free services to farm workers. A very good cause. The tasting room hosts, Ryan and a very nice guy from Scotland whose name I did not catch, were six stars on a scale of five for sharing information about the wines and area. First class for welcome and knowledge. Pours were four, two Chardonnay and two Pinot Noir. We liked all of the wines, but in particular. 1) a Winderlea Vineyard PN ($54) that we thought was perfect weight with a wonderful balance of fruit and earth, and 2) one of the Chardonnay ($36), which had just enough time in oak but not too much and had a sort of, to us, butterscotch on the nose. Typically our strong preference in Chardonnay is for all stainless fermenting, but this was really good we thought and it was our purchase. ACCESSIBILITY: Fully accessible. Level in door and tasting room is on one level throughout. Paved lot has one stall of accessible parking right outside the tasting room door. (Although a little tough to see as it does not have the standard blue signage, but a discreet emblem on the wall of the building.) Big applause for the fact that inside and outside seating have many standard table height options which are usable by everyone, unlike high perch bar height tables which are not. BACKSTORY: The owners are relative newcomers to Oregon's wine making scene, coming to Oregon from Boston in 2006 to pursue passion of wine in second life stage careers after first careers in investment banking. The quality of the wine they are producing, the way in which the tasting room is set up and the community involvement they demonstrate all seems top notch to us. TIP: Friday lunches are offered at the tasting room from roughly July through September. Paired with wine, they are @$55. Seating for maybe a dozen people. Reservations required. Contact winery for details.

On Saturday, my friend and I came in without an appointment. The staff was so hospitable and seated us anyway. Teresa Hansen was our "flight attendant." She was both knowledgeable and fun. I had the white flight, my friend did the red. Everything we tried was great and we ended up signing up for a membership. Thanks again, Teresa! Can't wait for our next case!

So many amazing people here! 10/10 would recommend! The experience was fantastic and the view absolutely took my breath away! Stacy really connected with me and was and absolute hoot!

Wonderful tasting room with view to the vineyard. Cher and team helped us celebrate our 10th anniversary in style. We were offered a glass of bubbles to walk the vineyard then had a lovely meal with our Pinots. The wine was fantastic, but the service really stood out. Thanks for making us feel so welcome and celebrated!

Excellent quality wine, biodynamic production, and responsible service during COVID. You can't go wrong here.

Expansive and contemporary balcony viewing and tasting atop the Dundee Hills!!!! Amazing, amazing. We came on a hot 80s autumnal day to taste their range of reds. Winderlea's profiled wines do not fit my palate. Their Pinots are complex, spicy, tannic, and big. Not really my style. Hints of cocoa and leather titillate you? As does higher end price points? Then this is bingo and jackpot for you. We shared one tasting, which I recall being $20. Coming for the view alone: worth it. Pourers border on the bougie and snob, as I assessed that weekend afternoon. Space inside and on the balcony: sublime. Sweeping hills. Too beautiful for words.

Great view, great service, easy parking, great contemporary space. To be honest, I can't really remember the wine at all! Let's just say that nothing I tasted was exceptionally good or exceptionally bad.

Winderlea's tasting room was very busy the weekend of the Memorial holiday... but a great experience we had! They are located on what I like to call "Winery Row" in the Dundee Hills. They are built right in the hillside and have the best view of the valley of any of the wineries in this area. The building is metal and wood, with lots of glass window, very contemporary inside and out, with a beautiful concrete deck to take full advantage of on summer days. Since it was memorial weekend, we got to taste their wines along with meats, cheese, and patee. The staff is friendly and takes the time to tell you about the wine and where their grapes are grown. One of the winemakers was working the tasting table, and he was very interested in our thoughts on the wines we were tasting. Nice to see he cares about the product he is making! Their 2010 red was my favorite, although I can't remember the exact name of it. They do not have that "hurry up and taste the wine" feel here, it's very relaxed and laid back here. So come for the tasting, linger on the patio, and mingle with their pups on a sunny afternoon... well worth it!

This winery has a very contemporary setting. They have a nice outside concrete deck area in the back with a nice view of the valley. The tasting room is nice and quaint when you enter. It is small but the service is good and they get to tasting quickly regardless. I liked the Chardonnay they were pouring. It was very different. A bit sweet. I'm normally not a big fan of this type of wine but it may have been that because it was different that I liked it. They had a 07', 08', and 09' Pinot noir they were pouring. I liked the 07' the best. It had the most varying nose notes and flavor. The 08' and 09' were just alright.

Beautiful sunny March + wine tasting and you can't get a much better day! I was with a large group and low and behold we stumbled upon Winderlea and am so excited we did! It is a very modern looking tasting room. Clean lines, clean colors, wonderful and knowledgeable staff. It isn't a very large place but their outdoor areas more than make up for it. Wonderful patio and seating with one heck of a view. Their flight is $15 and you get a taste of 5 different wines. The first was a delightful white/chardonnay. Slightly fruity with just the right amount of sweetness. The rest will all Pinot Nior and were quite good. The Imprint was my favorite. Bottles of wine here will cost you on average $38 but they are certainly well worth it and many of their batches are limited. I highly recommend coming here along your wine tasting trip. It is a gem of a place and the staff make you feel right at home. Their wines are excellent!

This place did it again. They offered a tasty snack of bbq steak on some some crispy bread for Father's day. We went and enjoyed the steak. I opted out but the guy said the steak was very good. We also enjoyed some glasses of pinot noir on the deck today. The weather could have been warmer and sunnier but the that meant less crowds which was a plus. All in all and enjoyable time and the service was very good.

A premier tasting experience - the staff were so attentive. The wines are grand and the view of the entire valley was inspiring. Special thanks to Ken and Cher for making me feel like family. When I return, I will be enjoying more of the Friday Night pairings with guests.

Had a great experience with Cher and Deanna last week. My husband and I visited the area as an early birthday celebration and our tasting at Winderlea really stood out. The property is beautiful, the wine was delicious, and I love that a portion of the tasting fee goes to an organization that helps provide healthcare to vineyard workers. Also, we got some fun recommendations from Cher for pairing wine with our favorite Filipino foods:) We will definitely be back in the near future!

Visited the winery for the first time this Saturday. I could not have been more impressed. We made an appointment (which is required on the weekends) and when we arrived they greeted us and provided us with a sample to enjoy on their patio. Wow! What an amazing view! We were then sat down for a personal tasting with one other couple where everybody's name was printed on the tasting list! DeAnna was our host and she was absolutely amazing! She explained everything so well and was able to answer everyone's questions. It was clear she had a strong understanding of wine and was very friendly. She made our experience! By the end of the tasting I couldn't sign up faster for their wine club! I've been to a solid majority of the wineries in the Willamette Valley and Winderlea is unprecedented. Great wine, amazing hospitality staff, and fantastic view! Awesome job! Keep up the great work.

Our Walking tour was amazing today! I wish I could hang out with Scott for a whole day because we was a genuine cool, smart guy. We learned so much on the walking tour, enjoyed the wines with small food plate and the owner came to greet us. This walking tour was my favorite thing we did on our trip because it was very different from just sitting at a tasting table. Winderlea also had amazing views, awesome indoor/outdoor seating and of course, the wines were stellar. Highly recommend!!

Make a reservation. It is well worth your time! Sat with Juan who was knowledgeable and able to speak on Oregon and Washington wine. Bold and unique Pinots with a crisp Chardonnay option. The fantastic service matched the gorgeous view and smooth wines. Will go again and make this a regular stop on our prefered winery list.

Great wines (biodynamic), stellar view, very friendly and knowledgable hosts (Mitch)

Very rude. Went in with a group and were told we needed an appointment. Glad to see they are doing so well and don't need business. On to the next winery.

The wine is okay, however, the tasting room experience is the worst in the valley. We have visited a number of tasting rooms the past 10 years, we've never felt so unwelcome and belittled. We signed up for the wine club due to the awesome experience we had at Brittan Vineyards ( same wine maker). Due to the three recent experiences at the Winderlea tasting room, we will happily spend our wine club dollars elsewhere.

This 5 stars goes to Cher and secondly the wine...We showed up with 2 reservations for 3 and when we checked in, the person behind the counter was very accepting of letting us sit together (we repeatedly said that we didn't mind sitting separately). As we were getting sat at our table, the hospitality manager came over and said "you know...we are not sitting groups more than 5 due to Covid, its okay this time BUT next time we need you to follow the rules" (was very awkward and judgmental) in our minds we thought "we have said multiple times that we didn't mind sitting separately". We understand that COVID has created unprecedented times, but he treated us in a way that was unwarranted. Plot twist, Cher turned the BEAT around, she was a gem! She was AMAZING! We were very disappointed at first, but Cher made our night! She was not only knowledgeable, she was fun and accommodating! We loved her! Would come back, but only to drink the amazing wine with Cher!

An unexpected stop. We were in the Dundee Hills with some time to kill. It was a pleasant surprise. Great views to the West and South. Fancy modern tasting room. Pourers actually knew what they were talking about, and the juice? Oh yeah, excellent wine! Mostly Dundee Hills pinots, but they also had some fruit from a variety of places and were showing a McMinnville pinot as well. Also a surprisingly good chard blend and a covertly placed Brittan Syrah (2008 no less). Just the second time in two days I turn down the cool climate Brittan Vineyard Syrah, perhaps I just don't have the patience to wait a decade to taste it again cause it's got the chops to cellar! The wines are mostly single vineyard pinots (so prices mostly run $38-48/wine). All crafted by Robert Brittan of Brittan Vineyards (if you're a pinotfile check out that winery too!). And just to think these are 2010's (cool vintage), if he get a wine with enough structure to be this tasty now look out for the 2012's! Tasting: 1 chard, 4 pinots Price: $15 (donated to Salud! - a charity that helps vineyard workers get health and dental care, so obviously not comp'd) Appointment: NOT required Overall: Great tasting all around, staff was knowledgeable, wonderfully nuanced wines

Two stars for the gorgeous view of their vineyards. One star for their surly service and wines. Sorry folks - this one is a pass for me.

Don't go here. Customer service on Saturday was terrible! The first time I was here, service was minimal which was fine as we purchased two bottles of wine to sip and sit. Our second and final visit was less than mediocre. They would not sell our party of three a bottle to open and drink on their patio as they "just don't do that". Ok? They would sell flights to us. We were getting snotty treatment from the woman employee. The old man with the accent said he'd sell us a bottle to take-away. He said he'd keep it cold until we were ready to go. We _were_ ready to go. And we should have. But we bought a bottle of their Chardonnay. He said it was chilled and put it in a bag. When we got to a place to drink it, the bottle was warm. They did not give us a chilled bottle. If we hadn't opened it, we would have returned it. Bottom line: There are many wonderful wineries on Worden Hill Road. Don't waste your time at Winderlea. Trust me.

Amazing views and tasting room with great local wines made by amazing winemakers! This is a must stop winery on your tour of the McMinnville, Dundee and Newberg best wines in the world!

I love the architecture of this place and the view from the balcony area. We went to 3 wineries on our day trip and spent the most time here. The guy that was pouring the wines and the owner who designed this beautiful winery were both very pleasant people. I could sit and sip their wines here all day long. They have a beautiful dinner table as well where they host dinner in the summer time. I would love to come back and experience that as well.

1. Fantastic, fun architecture with incredible views, from the tasting room or balcony (even when foggy). 2. Exceptionally friendly folks at the tasting stations. 3. Awesome food to match the wines (a chardonnay and 3 pinot noirs). 4. Really cool bathrooms. 5. Very reasonable wine club - choosing this option was a no-brainer since we wanted a few bottles. 6. Incredible customer service - I emailed to ask if they rent their space for private events and they don't. But instead of ignoring me or saying no, Donna provided some great alternatives to consider!

Jeramy was a fantastic host! We stopped off on our way from Lincoln City to Portland. Breathtaking views, great wine, very laid back. Would absolutely recommend!

During our tastings, a couple other wineries recommended Winderlea, so we adjusted our day to make sure we didn't miss out. By far our favorite winery experience during our trip! It was five stars all around- the wine, the service, and the views. Ray was pouring our tastings, and was very friendly and knowledgeable of the winery. We ended up taking a couple bottles back home, and will probably order more in the future!

We discovered this place by chance during one of our wanderings around the "backcountry" north of Dundee. The tasting room's architecture was interesting, so we decided to give it a try. We weren't disappointed. Winderlea is a relatively new winery in the area, specializing in Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. All their wines are of good quality and have something that makes them a little unique. The tasting room is very cool and modern, with garage-door style windows that scroll up in the summertime for a more open-air atmosphere leading out to the deck. The view is like something from a postcard. Bear in mind, however, this winery may not be for the casual (or strapped-for-cash) wine drinker. The tasting fee is $10 and is not waived when you buy a bottle. Their Pinot Noir starts at about $35 a bottle and goes up from there. That said, it is very good and is worth the money if you like good wine. I like the idea of their Friday afternoon culinary adventures in the summertime, and I'm looking forward to checking one out.

beautiful location and great service! we came here on a Tuesday right as the doors were about to close and the gentleman who was pouring was kind enough to let us still have a tasting. we were given lots of great info on the pinot and eventually became members. the views are spectacular and the facilities are so clean and modern.

We live in Austin and have always wanted to visit Portland and check out some Willamette Valley wineries. This past week we took advantage of Southwest's nonstop flights and finally took the trip. And let me just say wow, the Willamette has some kickass wine and wineries. Loved it. Long story short, Winderlea was one of our first stops and Reid definitely set the tone for a trip full of great wine and other experiences. Once he found out what we were looking for he gave us a list of things we might want to check out and was incredibly helpful. We even made it into the IPNC Salman Bake which had been sold out for month's before we arrived. We'll be back and we'll definitely drop by Winderlea again. Great wines, great service and a beautiful view.
