First actual winery I’ve ever visited but had an outstanding experience. My husband and I walked in at 4:30pm on Sunday and were mesmerized by the breathtaking views of the country land and vineyards! Special and with a purchase of two fabulous bottles(Pinot Gris & Pinot noir) they waived both of our tasting fees($ 15 each). Will definitely be back to this classy establishment. OH and they have a huge scrabble board outside — yay! :)

The best feature of this Winery is the amazing view. Even if you don’t drink wine you should go for the view. The wine tasting was $ 10 per person for 5 wines, but they let you share. The portions were also more generous than the other vineyards we visited and the wine was tastier. I would definitely come back here if I’m ever in Oregon again.

This vineyard has the grand daddy of all possible views. It sits atop a rolling hill from which you can see far into the surrounding fields and mountains — absolutely beautiful! I couldn’t get enough — they even have these cool windmill sculpture things that catch the breeze and make you feel all tranquil. The wine tasting is $ 10, which is a little bit steep, but we were able to share tastings and the wine was indeed VERY good. They were unfortunately sold out of their famous Dijon Block Pinot, but we tried a house blend that had a large percentage of the Dijon Block in it, and it was delicious. I can only imagine how good the straight stuff is, haha. I highly, highly recommend bringing a picnic basket full of goodies, grabbing a bottle of vino, and wasting away the day on the grass here. Bonus? They play AWESOME music — The Shins, Mumford… totally chill.

Everything we tried was delicious! Justin was a delight… knowledgeable, polite, and funny. Danielle was charming. The view amazing… breathtaking, in fact. What a way to spend and afternoon!

2005 Dijon Blocks Pinot noir, best Oregon Pinot I have tasted. Try it!

The wine was good, bold, and flavorful. The tasting room is beautiful, but the woman pouring the wine was a little too pretensions for me. She kept reminding us how much she loved her job and how great she was at it. She also tried all the wines along with us, which was a little weird. I’m no wineo, but it was unpleasant to watch her draw air in and try to talk at the same time. We visited four other wineries on this day and Van Duzer was our groups least favorite. The wines were much higher priced than any of the other wineries we visited. Although the view was breathtaking, and the tasting room charming, the chattiness of our hostest and the high price of the wine will cause me not to return.

Fantastic wines. Highly recommended! The view from the tasting room is outstanding. Bring a picnic lunch or a snack and grab a bottle and enjoy the fabulous atmosphere!

This was was the first of our four-winery tour on a beautiful February day. The view was really pretty, rolling hills and a new tasting room with great artistic touches. We were the first group of the day and Danielle was working the tasting room. She was friendly and knowledgeable, although it seemed to take a while to get the tastes and we were anxious to get drinking(probably a combination of us driving for an hour and really wanting wine, and being her first group). We got four tastes for $ 10; you can also get four others for $ 15. And they refund your fee if you purchase a bottle. The pours were pretty small(again, we were really thirsty!). We bought a bottle of 2007 Cab Sav for $ 30, which was tasty but a little overpriced compared to what we later found at Maysara. Overall, we thought this place was okay. Danielle was pretty chatty, which didn’t suit us but others might like. The setting was definitely lovely. And the wines were decent.

Fantastic wine, beautiful setting, lots of style, smart, kind, and fun staff. I absolutely love this winery! Van duzer is a destination spot no matter where you live. The view is breathtaking, the wine and wine parties are classy, and the people who work there– extremely knowledgable, unpretentious and friendly. I keep going to Van Duzer for their high quality wine and superb service. Luke in the tasting room is one of the coolest and nicest servers in the valley and I really appreciate Danielle’s way of throwing a savory party. If you haven’t been to Van Duzer lately you definitely should make a visit. Check out their website too – very well done. My personal favorite Vintage: their Dijon block Pinot is the bomb! Cheers!

Great pinot, very nice tasting room. I don’t usually review wineries but I felt the need to defend these guys since no one else gave them a decent review. Stemless glasses — I like them.

Winery is set down a three mile gravel road off of 99W south of Amity. Their nice tasting room is perched on top of a hill that gives you a great view of the South Willamette farming region. You can can tell that their vines are still relatively young(lack of complexity) and they are charging on the high end($ 45) for their pinots. Their Flagstone pinot was the one that I enjoyed the most(and ended up buying). Tastes are served in stemless glasses which is a little odd. A $ 10 tasting fee is waived with purchase. If you are tasting in the Amity area, it is worth visiting this winery for the view alone.

Good red wines(texture, complexity aroma etc. it’s there). Their wine maker got skills, however why so much tartaric acid? Can’t your wine be good naturally? You can definitely taste and see the added tartaric acid aka wine diamonds on the cork. It just cheapens the wine. Beautiful setting. I recommend sharing a bottle of Reserve Pinot Noir on their patio. Since this wine has some«added ingredients» that should not be added to quality wine, I recommend you take some aspirins after drinking, or enjoy the headache next day.
