Statera Cellars — Restaurant in Portland

We enjoyed tasting a wide variety of wines at Statera’s tasting room. Two of us selected two different flights and shared the tastings. We loved what we tasted so much that we brought six bottles home!

The atmosphere is artistic and fun. I couldn’t stop looking at the creative light fixture with every sort of stuffed animal. Its elegant and playful. It made me feel very relaxed! They really were creative in the use of space and materials for the tasting room. We can’t wait to go back this summer and truly enjoy the view and their access to a roof top bar. It has both of us intrigued to see what that’s all about!

Luke, one of the owners gave us just the right amount of attention. We were welcome to taste on our own if we wanted but of course we were interested in talking with him about his wine making process. My partner is very familiar with French wines. He learned better how to compare French wines to what Statera is producing since the growing conditions are similar. We have a better understanding now of how Statera makes their different wines.

It’s always fun to hear what the winemakers smell and taste. I personally do not have as developed a pallet to describe it, but Luke asked me if I did smell of taste certain things and he nailed it! How fun!

We had dinner plans so we didn’t have food there, but the offering looked good. We’ll try some snacks on our next visit.

We love their wines and will continue to visit the tasting room as more vintages...

This was an amazing experience! Checked it out for the first time it was fabulous we did the prix fixe menu and the food was interesting and creative and delicious and paired perfectly with each wine in the flight well worth every penny and then some... and the wine was also interesting and creative and not your average Willamette Valley Wine...

Absolutely phenomenal wine, with a very fun and kind owner in a space with great vibes! Impressed by the dedication to the craft as well as excellent sustainability practices and commitment to equitable and inclusive labor.

I tried 5 wines (love that half glasses are available!), all of which sung with great flavors, especially the skin...
