Beautiful spot. Excellent wine. Very knowledgeable and friendly people.

Beautiful winery in Pinot country. It was relatively quiet when we arrived, and we were treated very well by Cathy and the rest of the staff. Their wines are well made and several made their way home with us.

What a treat a beautiful if not warm day enjoying the tasting of several really delicious wines and select foods to compliment. The outdoor setting is lovely with nicely designed and Landscaped surroundings looking out on the surrounding vineyards. The staff were welcoming and knowledgeable. Simply a very pleasant day

Visited Saffron today. I'll start with the good. The wines were pretty good and the setting was beautiful. The charcuterie board was pretty good and the snack tray was good. Now with the bad. The service was really really slow. If it wasn't the length between the popes it was having to actually go into the tasting room (we sat outside on the patio) to get water. Twice. We also had to actually go into the tasting room to revisit one to make a determination of what to by. Continuing the bad. The pours were really small and they weren't using those dreaded measuring devices they stick on top. Maybe they were pacing themselves. For $35, I would have expected more. I've been to close to 100 wineries and it was in the bottom 5 for size of pour. Hard to sample a wine when you get one shot at it. And more bad. At the entrance there was a special offer stating 3 of the wines for $129. Great! What a deal! They were having an event that night so I was thinking great they are trying to sell a lot of wine! I confirmed with out server the price. I go to pay and he suddenly leaves saying the price in computer was wrong. He comes back and says the price was wrong. It was the actually the price of another item on the advertisement. Jackie up the price $40 more dollars. What..... Mind you, we already paid $60 for charcuterie boards, $15 for the snack board and had small pours. I can understand the mistake but it was their mistake. Honor the price and then quickly fix it.TLDR; Saffron isn't cheap, service is slow and their are lots of other places to spend your money at.

The wine was well bodied, well balanced, and a variety of different flavors. Ken was very knowledgeable to guide us in our tasting platelets! He was very funny too!! They have a nice Japanese Garden to take a short stroll through and it includes a koi pond as well as a small Lilly pad pond! Aesthetically pleasing to the eye too!

Beautiful setting and landscape, super friendly staff. The wine was very good, worth the drive.

Great location and great service. Function rooms have a very modern feel and are cozy. There is indoor and outdoor seating. I loved the pond with huge goldfish in it. You can also play cornhole, which is a bonus. I plan to visit again on a sunny day like today. Highly recommended!

We spent a lovely few hours sitting by the koi pond drinking great wine. The grounds, tasting room, and service make this a more elevated experience but not pretentious. The wine is bolder than some pinots but not unapproachable for most. This would be a great first stop on a wine tour of the yamhill-carlton ava.

I had the opportunity to play music with my Group Borikuas for their last year aniversary and we had a great time. Great wines, beautiful place and really nice knowledgeable personal. Amazing!!
Enjoyed our tastings for 2 @ $30.00, Cheese & Charcuterie Board @ $28.00 & Hannah's Bridge City Mix Popcorn @ $8.00 with a view of the Koi pond, gardens, artwork & partial vineyard view outdoors on a beautiful day was well worth the price we spent on the 2 bottles of wine:) Thank you Ken for the relaxed & easygoing conversation. We appreciated your insight & sharing some Vineyard knowledge with us. Highly recommend this estate to hangout & chill with friends. They had high end artwork & sculptures outdoors for the serious buyer. There were also outdoor games to play like safe ax throwing & cornhole:)

What a gem! Beacon Hill Winery recommended we try Safron Fields and I'm very glad we did! I was surprised by the beautiful koi pond and all of the frogs in their other pond! The property was beautiful, the wine was good and the staff was very friendly. Tasting was $30. There were only two of us and we were able to walk in. I would recommend this place to friends.

This place is truly something else. My wife and I decided to go to this vineyard for my birthday as I wanted to try my hand at wine. It was probably one of the most enjoyable birthdays I've ever had! We signed up for the wine tasting experience and 2 hours passed us by in a flash! The service there was exquisite, all the employees were incredibly nice and very accommodating for us. Their wine was fantastic, and I highly recommend adding the charcuterie board, there wasn't a single thing on there that I didn't like. The vineyard itself is beautiful, they have a beautiful view as it is situated on a hillside. Their yard looks great and is the perfect place to relax. They also have a full Koi pond with a patio that lead right up to it and a nice little trail that goes around it. Even the vineyard building itself looks beautiful, and everything is very clean. I really don't have anything to compare it to price wise, as this is the only vineyard I've been to, but the experience we had was absolutely worth every penny! We will absolutely be visiting again for my wife's birthday and anytime we're in town!

Absolutely gorgeous location with some noteworthy Pinots. Reservations are required, and they evidently fill up quickly on the weekends. The Japanese garden with koi pond, lavender fields, and serene walkways were all exquisite. The building itself is beautiful with great artwork within. Detracting from our visit this particular Friday was a wedding they were setting up for. We had to walk through the wedding photo session to enter the building and were questioning whether we had the right date/place down in our calendar. No warm reception by staff who themselves seemed disoriented by the wedding hubbub. We seated ourselves at a two-top by the floor-to-ceiling glass sliding doors open to the outside since the patio was full. This would normally be just fine, but the wedding set-up soon blocked off our outdoor view , so we moved ourselves to a table-less spot on the patio. The patio is definitely the place to be on a summer day. I am regrettably and embarrassingly bad at remembering names, but our server (Lauren, maybe??) was great. She said it was only her second day. She was friendly, accommodating, and didn't hesitate to find out answers to our questions when she didn't know them off hand. I was thankfully the only one of us doing a tasting that afternoon. I say thankfully because these were some generous pours, and we would have otherwise had no choice but to stay for the wedding until we sobered up enough to drive home. My friends who recommended the winery said the same thing after their visit last summer, so I don't think this was a case of someone new being heavy handed. While I didn't care for the white or the rose I tried, the Pinots were lovely, and we ended up bringing two home with us which waived the tasting fee. We didn't partake, but they also offer a cheese and charcuterie spread as well as a few other small snacks. Surely worth a visit, but try to avoid a day when there's an event taking place so you can fully enjoy your surroundings.
