The Eyrie Vineyards — Attraction in McMinnville

After a long day at work I just wanted to try a new tasting room. I was the only person in the tasting room. I inquired if I could just have a white flight, the answer was no secondary only so many bottles were open. So I asked if I could just enjoy a glass of white wine, and decompress from my day. I was told they only do tastings, no single glasses. A tasting is $40, waived with $120 wine purchase! Seems a bit steep to me!! In California vineyards are pulling up their vines because of decrease in wine sales! How sad. I guess Eyrie Vineyards feels they are worth the price.........i...

Maybe the best Pinot Noir in Oregon, made in traditional Burgundian fashion, crafted with love in this unassuming, family-run winery, from the first plantings in the Willamette Valley. The staff are super knowledgeable and friendly, I particularly like Jacques, who is basically John Oliver from the Daily Show but with a French accent. They also hold quite an extensive library and regularly share them in the tasting room by using "the Elva," a converted classic bottling machine that reminds me of a 1950's car. Don't be scared off by the unimpressive look of the building...

Come for the wine, stay for the experience. My wife and I did a wine tasting at Eyrie and we loved it. Top notch selection of wines in their Exploration Flight. What we really enjoyed about our experience was Taylor, who is a wealth of knowledge and an absolute delight - we learned so much from her about the story of the winery and each wine we tasted. She exudes an infectious passion that makes you lean in all the more and enjoy each wine more fully. World-class experience. Highly recommend, look forward...
