Reviews for The Eyrie Vineyards in McMinnville, OR
Make an appointment! With appointment you get a group tour and informative tasting. I would suggest this as one of your first... winery visits because of everything you'll learn. We had a family member of the winery go through several wines while the groupwas seated around a table with some snacks in the middle. He explained the area, the soil, the history, and the differencesbetween the taste of their wines. This is a must for your first trip to Willamette Valley! Read more
Come for the wine, stay for the experience. My wife and I did a wine tasting at Eyrie and we loved it. Top notch selection of... wines in their Exploration Flight. What we really enjoyed about our experience was Taylor, who is a wealth of knowledge and anabsolute delight - we learned so much from her about the story of the winery and each wine we tasted. She exudes an infectiouspassion that makes you lean in all the more and enjoy each wine more fully. World-class experience. Highly recommend, lookforward to returning. Read more
Most the wines had a distinct strawberry character with little depth. The historic wine was corked - our host didn?t realise.... Unattractive setting. Read more
We had a fantastic tasting experience at Eyrie Vineyards McMinnville tasting room. Abi was EXTREMELY knowledgeable. This was the... highlight of our Oregon wine tasting trip this past September -- because of the fantastic wine and the amazing service. Thanks,Abi! Read more
We received excellent service at the tasting room from Abigail--we got to hear the interesting history of the winery as well as... a full description of the wines. Highly recommend the 2014 Pinot Noir--nice tannic balance to the fruit. Read more
Truely, one of North America's original wineries (for Pinot Gris at the least). It shows in the authenticness of the tasting... room, the staff (during our tasting, the winemaker came out from the back rooms and spent a while pouring & discussing thisyear's harvest), and not the least, the wines. Very convenient location, affordable wine, and when it's not busy you can getsome great interesting information. Read more
Maybe the best Pinot Noir in Oregon, made in traditional Burgundian fashion, crafted with love in this unassuming, family-run... winery, from the first plantings in the Willamette Valley. The staff are super knowledgeable and friendly, I particularly likeJacques, who is basically John Oliver from the Daily Show but with a French accent. They also hold quite an extensive libraryand regularly share them in the tasting room by using "the Elva," a converted classic bottling machine that reminds me of a1950's car. Don't be scared off by the unimpressive look of the building from outside. Read more
This is the kind of wine that haunts you for the rest of your life. Tim Kane our host was excellent. Every wine was superb.... Jason Lett has a wonderful talent for making terroir driven wines. These are honest wines tasted in a place that allows thefocus to remain on the wine. Absolutely splendid. A life changing wine experience. I will never forget this. And Tim if you readthis, I am coming to pick grapes next year! Read more
