Sarver

If I lived in Eugene I would not want to write this review because I wouldn’t want anyone else to find out about this winery. The tasting room is perched atop a hill that looks out over the mountains, it’s not only great for looking at but the view also allows for fantastic pictures to make your friends jealous that you went. We all did the wine tasting which cost an incredibly low amount of five dollars! For that we all got 6 more than generously sized samples of wine. The portions were all so big that we were all pretty tipsy after sample number 4. We also ordered some cheese which came with some olives and sliced fruit, just like the wine the cheese was delicious and a great deal. If I’m ever back in the area this is the without a doubt the winery I will be visiting again.
Unaninoumsly the Pinot Noir 2013 was our group’s favorite

My husband and I absolutely loved this winery. The atmosphere is charming to say the least and the views were spectacular. The staff was very friendly and even took the time to offer us suggestions for the next part of our trip. The wine itself is delicious. All of the wines are unique in their own right and apparently they only make each wine in very small batches which made it feel pretty special.

Worth the 100 mile drive! We’d heard many positive reviews on this winery so we decided to check it out, it did not disappoint, fantastic wines and an approachable and knowledgeable staff. The venue is gorgeous, the view and casual vibe a perfect compliment to tasting. Whites were amazing, ordered some chocolate bark when we got to the reds, a delicious pairing! Just the perfect day, don’t miss this experience.

Our tasting server at King Estate suggested we swing by here. So glad we did. It was empty on a Wednesday afternoon, even on a beautiful day. Apparently it is more packed with locals in the evening, but with a beautiful view and amazing wine that isn’t really distributed anywhere, we found this place a treat. The service was awesome, and they were playing some great local music

We love it here! Amazing view. Peaceful. Fantastic wines and service. Appetizer plates for all palates. Wonderful hospitality and we will be back!!!

Great wine, delicious cheese plate and pairings. Ian, the tasting room manager has great service and is very knowledgeable. Beautiful location and view.

This was one of three stops made on my first ever wine tasting. My brother was on leave from the Army base in Hawaii, and he had his girlfriend’s convertible. IT was a perfect day for a tasting. We were feeling a bit peckish when we came here, and so we ordered a small tray of cheeses, meats and bread. It was delicious, and wonderful with the wine. The woman behind the counter was very helpful, even though I wasn’t much for the harsh reds, she was kind enough to recommend a series of lovely white wines, as well as a few dessert wines.
The place has a beautiful view, and the dining area if lovely too.

Great. Great wine, great service, great views, great ambiance.
Great live music choices and not too loud.
Bring your own food, something to keep warm while outside especially since the metal chair outside drain your body heat.
The 2012 Merlot for $ 28 is my favorite!!!
Spread the word

I enjoyed spending a Saturday on Sarver’s beautiful patio overlooking rows of gorgeous vines and Eugene from a distance. Tasting is a mere $ 5 for a variety of fantastic wines. The women behind the bar are friendly and entertaining. My friend and I opted for some cheeses and salami with our pinot gris and noticed that several folks brought food of their own. This place is a mix of laid back cool and sophistication.

Tiny tasting room here! The wine was pretty delicious, the view was beautiful, the snacks were really great. Definitely worth the drive! Only downside is that paying with a credit card took foreeeeeever. I suggest one brings cash to pay.

Beautiful setting in the hills! Tried Cuvée, bought a bottle, love this wine, great snacks! Staff very nice, Will definitely go back in better weather!

Were wine cub members. The wine is great the view is remarkable and the service is amazing. We love this place.

This is my favorite winery that I have been too in the Eugene area. They have amazing wine and the small tasting room is cozy. Ian who works there is friendly and very knowledgeable about all of the wine. They have awesome cheese and meat plates and fresh bread. YUM

My friends and I stopped at Sarver over the course of a long day of wine tasting. After entering through their tall black gate and snaking up a steep hill, the first thing we saw was their gorgeous view. Electric blue skies with fluffy white clouds atop their expansive plot of vines. Literally the perfect beginning to our visit.
The tasting room is quaint with a terracotta, sunrise color palette. A long wooden bar with stools and small tables with comfy, old fashioned chairs. The outdoor patio was my favorite spot to camp out. Equipped with large umbrellas shielding the sun, it’s certainly the place to be a lush on a humid summer day.
The wines were truly luxurious. We sampled six wines for $ 5, all of which were highly enjoyable. The employee conducting the tasting was generous with the pours and was extremely well versed in Sarver’s offerings, dropping facts as we sipped each kind. The highlights would be the pinot noir rose, cuvee, and riesling. Despite the variances between wines, they all possessed a pleasant mellowness. Dangerously easy to drink.
I would have liked to try the snacks but we had places to go and more wine to drink. Other patrons seemed to be wolfing them down gleefully. From what I saw, they have elegantly arranged plates of freshly baked bread, charcuterie, cheeses, olives, and ripe fruits. Apparently, they make wood fire pizza… Swoon.
Sarver is definitely worth a visit on a sunny afternoon.

Good luck getting a seat here on a Friday night. I brought my family here from out of town and we had to leave because there was very little seating, what there was had been taken, no system for waiting in line for a place to sit. Not even grass space. Won’t be making the trek out here again just to turn around.

Beautiful scenery is a major plus of this winery, and the wine isn’t half bad either. If it wasn’t for the incredibly rude staff I would enjoy the atmosphere immensly, but they ruin it. Not only was I overcharged (which I caught in the itemized receipt, a must here) but was charged again on my card TWO DAYS following my visit??? When I called to straighten out the situation I was told they would not credit THEIR mistake. Poor customer service all the way around, and a fraudulent charge… Thanks but no thanks, the wine isnt good enough to overcome all the other shortcomings of this business.

We came here for wine tasting and had a nice time. The server was very friendly! It was busy here and we felt it was understaffed (only one server). Nonetheless he did the best he could and treated us well. The wines were fabulous! The view from the back balcony was awesome!
We bought a bottle of Riesling but was a little disappointed your tasting is not refunded with purchase. The tasting price was $ 7 which is also slightly high.
Overall it was a good experience and we would come back!

Nice looking vineyard, not exceptional. We got here today to find the (tiny) tasting room completely full, not a free seat left. Since this was a wintery afternoon, not at all tourist season, we kind of suspected this place is used by locals as the only bar in the area.
Anyway, we stood around for quite a while, with no sign of any seats opening up soon, and no staff to be found. Nobody behind the bar, or serving, or anywhere else that we could see. Finally after getting tired of standing around waiting with nothing happening, no acknowledgment or service, we just left. On our way back to the car someone ran by us who may or may not have worked there but who did not greet or acknowledge us either.
Rather disappointing since we’d driven an hour to get here, it was specifically our goal for the day as it is the only vineyard in the area we’d never been to before. Their loss I guess, we left the last vineyard we visited with six cases. I don’t think we’ll be back to this one, and we recommend skipping Sarver in favor of the larger vineyards.

Love this vineyard! Beautiful views without the crowd and pretentious attitude of other places in the area. Delicious selection of Pinot Grigio for a summer day and bold Pinot noirs.
We have been here several times and I hosted a bridal shower here. The owners and all the staff are very nice and knowledgeable.
I haven’t tried the pizza but it sounds delicious. They have a wonderful selection of cheeses, meats, and bread. I highly recommend the fig/​olive spread with chèvre and a loaf of French bread.

Living in Eugene as long as I have, it is very nice (and very rare) to ever be surprised. That’s why, on a recent wine tasting outing, Sarver stood out as a special treat.
Sarver is a perfect example of experience and new blood: the pinot vines themselves are some of the oldest in the valley, while the vintners and the blends are nearly brand new. My personal favorite quaffs are their 2010 Rosé and the 2009 Petite Sirah, but there wasn’t a wine I tasted that was a dud.
Good wine is more than enough to get me to fall in love with a place, but the tasting room and patio offers more, imo, than any other tasting spot along the standard south valley loop. The views rival, if not best, those found at KE. Seriously. And the food is FANTASTIC. Not in the multiple-​courses-​served-​with-​dinner-​rolls kind of way, but they assemble a plate of charcuterie that rivals anything I’ve had at a restaurant. They also bake fresh baguettes, and offer wood-​fire pizzas (pear, blue cheese, and bacon, anyone???) — at least during the summer months.
I can’t rave about them enough. Sarver should definitely top your «must taste» list on any SWV tour.
