St Josef's Winery — Attraction in Oregon

When we had to completely reschedule and reimagine our wedding day due to the COVID-19 virus and the financial problems this pandemic has caused our family, I did not expect that the vendor we would have the most issues with was St. Josef's. Tara was the least available of all my vendors to discuss changes, was incredibly insensitive, and promised options for accommodating changes due to COVID-19 that were not followed through on.

All my vendors were quick to communicate and offer new dates, options, and make adjustments, Tara responded to emails with a huge delay, during which we made plans for a new date where St. Josef's was unavailable. Tara was downright rude in communicating that they were unable to refund our deposit because of canceling due to "personal reasons" - those reasons being a pandemic, our new date not being available, as well as the immense and unpredicted financial strain and stress of planning, reschedule, and/or throwing a wedding amidst a global crisis.

How we treat others during challenges is so representative of our true selves, and St. Josef's has proven themselves to be heartless, cold, and dismissive.

St. Josef's is a small family owned and operated winery located near Canby, Oregon. Josef and his wife Lilly are a delight to talk to. Their son and daughter have taken over the day to day running of the winery. They offer a wide variety of whites and reds. They are very good and reasonably priced. Through out the year they hold events that are family friendly. The events include tastings and music and food. The grape stomping festival is a lot of fun. If you are lucky enough to get your name drawn, you can litarately stomp some grapes in a huge barrel while the crowd cheers you on. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. The place has a good energy to it. They have outdoor summer concerts that you can bring a picnic basket to and enjoy the music along with a bottle of their wine. It is a nice...

Pre-covid it was fun they had planned out events with a itinerary and a great German band, and grape stomping event, the set up was different this year. They didn't have any itinerary, the food trucks / food wasn't what they generally serve and was expensive like we paid to be there and get a small pizza for 18.00, a pork shank for 35 for 2 people and a charcuterie board from a store for 18.00 there was a good brat stand though that had reasonable prices and good food. The owners health has seemed to declined and I feel like whomever is stepping up into that position isn't continuing there process. I like the new area for where there selling the wine, I liked the new wine tasting idea they came up with, but overall I don't think will go back again unless they can keep some of the original...
