Located on a scenic hilltop, Van Duzer Vineyards benefits from the unique microclimate created by Oregon’s Van Duzer Corridor, a break in the coastal mountain range that allows cool maritime breezes to flow into the Willamette Valley. These conditions and Van Duzer’s signature winemaking style result in wines with bright fruit character, generous complexity and a pleasing balance. Family owned, the estate winery and vineyards practice sustainable farming and have been endorsed as LIVE and Salmon Safe.

Dundee tasting room
Two stars Dundee tasting room we visited the tasting room in Dundee, not the Vineyard in Dallas although I wish we had our experience, although the wines were very good for the most part. The sole proprietor there who provided the tasting was very rude to us, especially upon our arrival. I was a brand new member at the 6 bottle level. I've canceled my membership since this initial visit. We were celebrating a birthday. The wines are much higher in cost than what I'm accustomed to paying, nonetheless, we enjoyed our time together, even though our host made it apparent to us that he'd rather we not be there. He was loud and aggressive in his tone toward us (a group of four women) he even said to me "slow your roll, girl!" when we first arrived in response to a basic question. Who speaks to customers like that? There were two people when we arrived on a Saturday afternoon, that may have been our clue. After this experience I decided to cancel my membership. I emailed the manager asking him to cancel my membership it cost about $300 the six bottle level. He emailed me back telling me that they like to keep them a minimum of one year he offered me a glass of wine if I'd stay on which was really insulting. Once I wrote him back with the details of what we experienced there, I haven't heard a word since and that speaks volumes. I put my money where I'm a valued customer and experience incredible service and a great overall experience. This is a hard pass for me.

Two stars (Dundee tasting room)
We visited the tasting room in Dundee, not the vineyard in Dallas although I wish we had. Our experience: although the wines were very good for the most part, the sole proprietor there who provided the tasting was very rude to us especially upon our arrival. Keep in mind I was a brand new member (I've cancelled my membership since this initial visit), however he set the tone. We were celebrating a birthday. The wines are much higher in cost than what I'm accustomed to paying. Nonetheless, we enjoyed our time together even though "our host" made it apparent to us that he'd rather we not be there (very loud and aggressive in his tone toward us four ladies, he even said to me "Slow your role girl!' when we first arrived in response to a basic question. Who speaks to customers like that? There were 2 ppl when we arrived on a Saturday afternoon. That may have been our clue. Never again. After the experience, I emailed the manager asking him to cancel my membership (it costs about $300 for the 6 bottle level), he emailed me back telling me that they like to keep them for a minimum of one year. He offered me a glass of wine if I'd stay on which was really insulting. Anyway, once I wrote him back with the details of what we experienced at the tasting room, I haven't heard a word since. And that speaks volumes. I put my money where I'm valued as a customer. This is a hard pass for me.

Beautiful winery with amazing views
My husband found this winery on-line and wow am I glad he did! It was absolutely beautiful!! The winding drive up the hill (flower-lined roads) to the Tasting Room was amazing and then the views from the Adirondack chairs overlooking the vineyards was indescribable! It was peaceful and serene. Kayla brought out our wine tasting flight one-taste-at-a-time so we could sit and enjoy the view. The wine was great as well. Highly recommend, even if slightly off the main roads.

Van Duzer Winery tasting
First of all the tasting room is gorgeous and sits on top of a hill which means you have a fabulous view of the Willamette valley. All the wines we tasted, which were about 8 or 9, were really good. We had a cheese tray which had a good selection of cheeses, all of which were good, and dried fruits and crackers. We were there for a couple of hours and our server, Meg, made us feel so at home and comfortable. She was so helpful explaining the wines and helped us have a great time. Will definitely return next time we visit.
