Black Dog Vineyard & Winery Tasting Room — Restaurant in McMinnville

We went here for Mothers Day, did the flight they were offering that day, and will absolutely be back. We sat outside in the fire pit area, and the tasting room has a nice casual vibe to it. There was an upper roof deck with great views as well, but we were all about the shade.

We really enjoyed the Blanc de Noir and the Reserve Pinot which we ended up buying. They are a mix of old and new oak which I like as I find all new oak reds too acidic for my taste. They are very drinkable now or let them age.

Absolutely will...

We stopped at Black Dog on a bike loop through the area, and it was a worth braving the gravel road on our not-so-fat bike tires! We happened to be the only guests at that time, so got to enjoy the best seats in the house (on the front patio, facing the vineyard). It’s a lovely setting, very peaceful and so quiet because you’re off the main road. A very unpretentious winery. It was a pleasure to learn about the wines from Steve, who is lovely and kindly let us try a few extra estate wines, though they were not on our tasting flight. We left with three bottles (the 2021 Pinot Noir is the one I’m most excited for). Thanks for...
