Torii Mor Winery — Attraction in Newberg

Absolute favorite wine tasting I've done in the Newberg/Dundee area!

I've tasted at several vineyards in the area and Torii Mor stood out as both my and my friend's favorite. We were there on a cold, snowy, Monday morning in February so it was only us there and we had a blast. The lady who was doing our pours (I don't remember her name, but she said she was just there on Mondays) was absolutely wonderful. She knew plenty about the wines and since it was only our party, we just got to sit and chat with her the whole time. She also had her very sweet old pup, Dakota, there, who was the star of the show. The pinot blanc and the port were my favorites. My friend preferred the brandy. We both bought bottles. The tasting room we were in was small, but gorgeously decorated and very cozy.

5/5, definitely plan to return on our next tasting outing. Thanks for a lovely...

Towards the end, a blond woman who worked their appeared and was very friendly and attentive. All in all, it was unfortunately my least favorite tasting experience and felt overpriced given the wine quality and tasting environment. Will not...

I'm not sure who the dude in the Husker's sweatsuit was but he was incredibly rude. I was talking with my friend when he interjected and tried to tell us how to drink. I have no idea who this person was or their relationship with the winery but I'm assuming they are on staff. I have never seen tasting room staff this rude to not only potential clients but also other staff. The only reason I'm giving 3 stars and not 0 is for Aspen and Christian who were actually working. This man made me uncomfortable and that I was unworthy of this experience. We were having a wonderful time until this man appeared and stood in the middle of the...
