I’m not sure who is doing the hiring at Rex Hill, but wow are they nailing it! Absolutely the best team there, from Jonathan, to Doug, Jeff, Joan, Zoe, Kristi, Rylee and of course, the most wonderful Chef Billy. The wine is absolutely fantastic, but the hospitality is above and beyond, 20/10. We can’t get enough of this place!

My daughter made reservations for us for a tasting at this winery, located about 30 minutes from downtown Portland. We had a great experience, thanks particularly to our awesome wine guide Joan who was friendly, very knowledgeable, and fun!We did the standard tasting that consisted of an initial Grande Cuvee sparkling wine that made for a delightful start, and then a Chardonnay that was light and fruity, but not as buttery as the California Chardonnays. We then progressed to a series of three Pinot Noirs. We accompanied the wines with an excellent Oregon cheese, pickled onion and cucumber, an apricot spread, some nice bread, and yummy salami. As we worked our way through the Pinots that were getting darker and more full bodied, Joan told us about the origins of each wine and described what we should be looking for as we sipped. I've previously been to numerous distilleries and wineries - prior to Portland, had just returned from a winery trip to Napa and Sonoma - I thought Joan was among the best guides I have experienced as her descriptions were so spot on. If you visit and you have Joan as your guide, maybe you will also be lucky enough to get the bonus pours we received of two additional special edition Pinots. All the Rex Hill wines were exceptional but the added pours were fantastic. Thinking of getting the Rex Hill wine club membership for my daughter and future son-in-law as a wedding present - they would also receive a couple of free tastings as part of the membership and that's a great reason for another visit to the winery.

Absolutely beautiful with amazing service and tasty wine!Yadira (I think I spelled it correctly) was warm and welcoming, she was really knowledgeable about the wines and was a delight the entire time she waited on us. My faves from the day:2019 Alloro Pinot Noir- lots of floral notes, with a hint of vanilla! Sits nicely on the tongue and smells delightful. I regret not getting a bottle to go but I will be back to pick one up. 10/10 highly recommend!!!

With all the fine wine offerings in the area, what sets wineries in the area apart is the service and environment. Time and time again, whether it's a tasting, a spur-of-a-moment visit, or entertaining guests for business or personal, the staff at Rex Hill - especially Doug, Jonathon and Zoe - is always welcoming, informative, respectful and personable. No pretentiousness here! I LOVE the wine and the food! Everyone I have introduced to Rex Hill has loved the place. The extended patio is a wonderful and the summer parties are FUN! This is my go-to, and I have never been disappointed.

My husband and I had an awesome tour that led to an amazing lunch and tasting. We were treated with kindness and respect while also sharing a few laughs and stories. The wine is out of this world. The food was amazing. And the service was genuine, timely, and warm. Thank you for an amazing experience. We are glad we chose this winery when traveling all the way from Pittsburgh!

A few moms and I went for the Mother’s Day Brunch. It was nice to get out and have time to ourselves- location/view is beautiful, tasting room/seating area is lovely with the big windows and natural light. Food was tasty but small portioned, and the meal only included a tasting of the sparkling wine (which was delicious and I wish it was a full glass), so a small brunch and a taste of wine cost $75. There was an optional wine pairing available for an additional $25. I was very disappointed by this price and, especially on Mother’s Day, felt taken advantage of. Unfortunately, I don’t think I will be returning to, or recommending, Rex Hill.
The flight is more expensive than other wineries but we ordered by the glass and enjoyed the wines and the space. Service was wonderful and we were able to book a table with only an hour's notice

My son and I visited Rex Hill Vineyards on 3/20/23 and loved every minute. Our wine associate Jeff expertly described each wine and helped to make our visit so enjoyable. Mahalo Jeff! We were so amazed by the quality and taste of all of the wines! We will definitely be recommending Rex Hill Winery to everyone we know!

Walked inMe: Hi, I am not sure if I am in the right spot. We are here for a tasting.Woman we talked to: (Audible sigh) - Who are you here for?Me: We have an appointment for a Rex Hill tasting"Woman: (Louder Sigh and eye roll) Just wait over there2 groups walk in after us with a nice gentleman telling them they need to get checked in and he can help. They never bothered to tell us that.Finally we were sat. Wine was pretty good. Cool building. Kitchen wasn't fully operational as they lost their chef. Our host was so-so. After having come from a different tasting, this one was lacking. Virtually no info on the wine, process, soil, location, etc.The rudeness of the first woman really set the group off and gave us all a bad taste.So Rex Hill, if you read this, first impressions matter.

Beautiful tasting room. We were seated right next to fireplace. Our favorite wine of the day was Aloro Pinot Noir.
