DROUHIN BERNARD

Spectacular winery, beautiful scenic location, and environment to spend an afternoon tasting elegant wines. Some of the best Oregon Pinots in the Willamette Valley in a true to Burgundy style. Tasting room staff was very accommodating to welcome us on a short notice (same day actually). Knowledge staff. Classic Burgundy style wines that will impress you!

I loved this winery from the moment I arrived and didn’t want to leave to go to the next stop on my wine tour! Sitting on the patio overlooking the beautiful vineyard views was such a relaxing delight. The customized tasting menu, knowledgeable staff, and tasty complimentary nuts and crackers elevated the tasting experience. Sophia, who poured our wines, was the best! She was so kind and gave us the interesting history about how each wine was made. I look forward to visiting again.

Domaine Drouhin was the first stop on our planned day of tasting in the Willamette Valley during an extended weekend stay in Portland. While there was nothing wrong with our visit, nothing particularly wowed us either. The property is very nice, but we arrived just as a morning rain was subsiding, so we didn’t get to experience its full scope. The tasting itself was pleasant, offering a nice sample of their Oregon wines alongside their French estate wines, showcasing the different regions they produce. The tasting price was on par with the other wineries we visited that day. Of the three places we went to, this was the least memorable, though nothing was inherently wrong. If you enjoy French wines, this might be a great spot to visit; otherwise, you might want to explore other options among the many choices in the Willamette Valley.

Amazing experience doing the tasting flight at Domaine Droughin. As others have noted, the location and view are breathtaking, and it was nice to walk around afterwards. The tasting itself was a wonderful experience with our host friendly, extremely knowledgeable about the wine she was pouring and the company history. The wine, as advertised, is a Burgundian take on Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, and it hits at a very high quality for me. I definitely plan to come back as they release more.

First visit. Last minute decision so no surprise that there were no tasting reservations available. Undaunted, we decided to create our own tasting experience via the single glass menu since one of our party is a certified sommelier with the CMS. We appreciated that Ben spoke to us without condescension. He was most hospitable and informative staff member, both able and willing to answer a few questions so we could shape our tasting decisions. He took a few moments when delivering our warm gougères to answer questions about the Caballus, as well as the Zephrine, which contributed helpfully to my decision about which bottle to eventually take home as a gift for a friend. The fermentation area was open to the public.

Beautiful winery with an outdoor patio overlooking the vineyards and mountains. There were many French wines from their sister vineyard on the tasting we had. Some of the Pinots were fuller bodied than I am used to, but still delicious. I loved the atmosphere and enjoyed the tasting!

Loved the 22 Rose Rock Pinot Noir and that's what drew us here. Did not disappoint and highly recommend making it to this winery. Thinking this will enter our rotation of club memberships in the near future.

The winery sits almost at the top of Dundee Hills, overlooking the Willamette Valley, and on a clear day with views of the Coastal Range and Cascades. The cavernous wine making facility and tasting room has a superb outdoor area that is heated, covered, and well-ventilated for wine tasting. There are usually 5 to 6 small pours in a flight, but your wine rep might bring you more depending on your tastes, and what you like. I had the pleasure of being guided through the estate's many delicious wines by George Ball, who was outstanding on every level. The wines here are French in style, reminiscent of Burgundy chardonnay and pinot noir. Overall, this is one of the best tasting rooms I have experienced in Oregon or Washington. Appoints are required. 2022 Update: Still fantastic. The staff makes you feel welcomed and at home. The interior tasting room is now open again. Vaccinations are required, as noted on the reservation process through Tock. Sadly, George has moved on to bigger things, but everyone else is as wonderful!
