Tyee Wine Cellars

This place is a gem. We called them in January assuming they’d be closed for the season, but someone actually picked up and allowed us to come by for a tasting on a Sunday morning. The man who helped us was knowledgeable and friendly, and even opened up a more expensive bottle of wine than originally planned because he really wanted us to taste it (it was his favorite). He then gave us a discount on the bottles we bought! The wine here is incredible, and the whole experience was well worth the trip. Highly recommend it!

When we visit vineyards, I really appreciate a pourer who is personable– it can really make the experience. The girl who was working at Tyee on the afternoon we visited was great– very knowledgeable and friendly. It didn’t hurt that the wine we sampled was excellent as well; the pino gris was particularly good.
Tastings are $ 5 (refundable with a bottle purchase), and the tasting room is small but really unique. It’s located in an old milking barn, and as you sip, you’re able to check out the artwork for sale in an adjacent room. I’d highly recommend a visit!

The land is beautiful!!!
We went to the «bounty of benton county» concert event they hosted. It was a great setting, great food, wine, weather.
I love their Pinot gris & their gewurztraminer.
The family story behind the land is one that warms my heart as well. I love legacy farms that are modern & forward thinking enough to change if they have to.

Absolute gorgeous winery with great wines at an amazing price. I came here twice this weekend, once for a girlie’s 21^st birthday and then to have a picnic with the parents before they left. Both times were amazing. Only $ 5 to taste wine and it is refundable when you purchase a bottle! What a steal!
I just loved sitting outside and listening to some mellow tunage while me and my gf split a nice bottle of Pinto Gris. I’m not a white wine fan, but this fit the day and was a refreshing drink on a hot summer afternoon.
Make sure you pack a picnic when you head their way!

Um, yeah. I blame this place for my current Pinot Grigio obsession. Went here for a show last year. There was an Irish rock band whose name I can’t remember playing and it was amazing! I am from the prohibition capital so just couldn’t believe you could buy a bottle for roughly $ 15 TO GO. Basically you just spread blankets or chairs out on the grass and enjoy! If I could move to this part of the country I would in a heartbeat. If you are in the area definitely check this place out. The wine is reasonably priced and great! I am picky about the wines I drink because it usually gives me headaches and I could drink this stuff all night long. And I literally did. It is such a fun environment. And it is the first time I have seen dreads since I have been in college which is a definite plus!

The Willamette Valley has some of the world’s finest wines. I’ve always known this but never knew exactly where this funny sounding valley was located.
I had a wonderful xmas trip visiting my sister’s new house in Corvallis and while there realized that I was actually sitting and breathing in this Willamette Valley! While they were still asleep, I got in my brother in law’s sporty car with his digital camera and their lap dog and took off to see what I could find.
The drive was scenic, uncrowded, and beautiful. The road was hilly and woodsy, perfect for touring, the dog was happy, and a great local station (88.7) was playing some great tunes as a soundtrack. I felt like I was in Europe (except driving on the rt side of the road of course). It was a great day. Much more relaxing than the napa/​sonoma zoo.
The winery is located on a large estate and the owners live on-​site, next to the tasting room. The owner was very friendly and had a lot of interesting facts to tell me about the site and the wines. He poured a few whites and two pinots. All were very, very good — and I normally dislike white wines. The pinot noir select was one of the finest wines these lips have ever touched. Yes, I shipped some bottles home. I can’t wait to share them!
The site is 600+ acres and has some walking trails. It is magnificent. Part of it was given to a nature reserve. The lap dog was in heaven staring at the woods and the animals within. I can still taste the pinot noir select. See you soon Tyee! If the economy ever turns around I am buying your entire stock of PN select!!!
