Hip Chicks do Wine — Restaurant in Portland

Hip Chicks Do Wine is like a little hidden gem-very unassuming on the outside but welcoming on the inside. This is where they age and bottle their wine, so even though there is a tasting room area, you get to see where all the barrels are housed (and sometimes the equipment that is used), which to me is very cool and gives you a deeper appreciation for the wine. The chicks are not only hip but they are knowledgeable as well. As they pour the wines they tell you what grapes they used, what notes you'll taste, dishes they enjoy best with it, etc. They not only make the wine but they drink it too and actually care what people think and appreciate feedback. They are friendly and charismatic and a lot of fun! They offer small plates (cheeses, meats, etc. ) and even suggest specific ones to go with the specific wine you're tasting. This pic was from a fun chocolate and wine pairing event they had! So the next time you want to explore a Portland landmark, belly up to a bar and share some laughs and conversation over a delicious wine tasting (6 wines for only $12!!)-you must put Hip Chicks Do Wine at the top...

I needed a mid-day Portland wine tasting venue for a work team of about twelve to celebrate a co-workers 25th anniversary. Laurie and Rene provided exactly what we wanted, at exactly the price point we needed to stay within our work budget. I sent emails to several local urban wineries in Portland but Laurie was the only one that responded back within a couple of hours. Two to three days later I heard from a few other wineries but they wouldn't start the tasting until after 4-5pm unless we paid a steep price for a custom tasting. Hip Chicks provided a sit down tasting for the group with a review of their wine making process. They provided lots of information about how and where they get their grapes, which was very interesting. They allowed us to bring our own cake for the celebration. It was a nice, casual setting and the wine tasting was enjoyed by all. It was a successful event and a fun afternoon away from work! ...

I love Hip Chicks Do Wine. I'm a member of their wine club, and I frequently attend their events and events hosted there by the MOB (Mom-Owned Business) group. They make great wine and they have a wide selection of wines available. My favorites are the Pinot Noir and Viognier. There's something for everyone. (They also have beer and non-alcoholic drinks.) The atmosphere is very laid-back and friendly. Laurie and Renee, the owners, are just great people and they make you feel like you're a part of the family. I love that the tasting room is just right in there in an open room with the wine barrels. It's a really cool atmosphere. I recommend attending their events, popping in to do a tasting, and signing up for the wine club! The wine club is so easy to be a member of and you get so much out of it. You can also hold events there. It would be a cool spot for a professional seminar or workshop. Or a...
