October 21, 2025NancyrobtGreat tasting experience with Han our wine host!
We found this on trip advisor as the number 1 things to do in Roseburg. We were greeted by Han our wine host. Han was very knowledgeable and we enjoyed all the wines we tasted. My husband really likes Barbara’s and he was happy to see that on the tasting menu. We ended up buying several bottles! Thank you Han for being such a great host!

Wonderful tasting of excellent "Slow Wines". A genuine experience.
Hillcrest was on our short list of wineries to visit during our stay in Roseburg. It will be our top choice if/when we return. WINES: 5.0. We did a tasting of 5 red wines. All were excellent, with several unique stand-outs. In addition to wines produced from Hillcrest Vineyard varietals, the tasting included a Catalan blend "Lo Americano" from a Hillcrest partner near Barcelona, with the blending done by the Hillcrest vintner. Also particularly enjoyed "Anonymous" -- blended to resemble a top Hungarian wine (and marked by a historically rich name), and "The Pig". SERVICE: 5.0. Wonderful conversation with one of the owners during our tasting, covering a range of subjects related (sometimes distantly) to wine. A genuine experience. AMBIANCE: 4.5. An historic Oregon winery, Hillcrest has a rustic patina with lovingly hand-tendered dry-farmed vines. Apparently one of the very few US wineries with a "Slow Wine" designation. Focus is on offering excellent wines in an ambiance resembling comfortably broken-in handmade leather shoes. Refreshingly unflashy tasting room.
