Tyee Wine Cellars

We’ve driven by Tyee for thirty years and finally took the time to visit. It’s a Century Farm that has been in the sane family since the late 1800’s. The setting is delightful. The wines are outstanding. Both Pinots are terrific in different ways. One fruit forward. One with earth tones and tannins and a long after taste that delights. The dry gewurtz was solid. It’s great to visit a winery with great red and whites! Give it a try!

We had a lovely experience doing a wine tasting and ambling around the orchard. It was a perfect summer evening and the wines were delicious. We bought a bottle along with cheese and crackers and sat at a picnic table. If you visit you definitely need to walk around and explore! The blackberry bushes, walnut trees, and grapes are all fun to see as well as the tree swing! We really enjoyed our time here.

I was there on a Monday, when they wouldn't normally have been open, but they were having a special event. Getting in and out of the parking lot was a hassle (and cost me $17). I had a chardonnay, which seemed thin and honestly didn't really do that much for me. But the setting was picturesque and the staff were very friendly; I enjoyed a long conversation with a staff member about the climate, rainfall, and soil of the area and their impact on grape growing.nnI imagine going there on a regular business would have been a much different (and better) experience.

Tyee winery was amazing. Lauren and I got married their this past July. Brian and his family were great to work with; willing to go the extra mile to make our vision come to life. The wine was delicious and all of our guests had a great time. The space is set up perfect with a bar, area for dancing, plenty of picnic tables and amazing views of the Willamette Valley and coast range. Surely a day we will never forget.

I attended a wedding here, and the place was gorgeous! We walked through the hazelnut orchard to the spot where the ceremony was and it was very well maintained.
