We really enjoyed our time at this winery. Our B&B innkeepers recommended it , and we were glad we went. The inside hostess was a stand-in for her friend who was on vacation, and she was most gracious. The view on a warm, sunny September day from the outside patio was gorgeous eye-candy. During our self-guided tour days we kept meeting friendly tasters from Texas, and this winery was no exception. The patio was a great place to talk with other wine lovers while enjoying the tasting experience.Our outside host who served the wine needed to be reigned in a bit as he enjoyed having a captive audience to talk to at length, but that didn't spoil the experience or the wines which we thought were a good value. This vineyard doesn't have the best wines (i.e. not Bergstrom or Penner-Ash) in the region, but they are very good and sold at a good price point. We especially enjoyed the rose and the margo pinot noir and ended up buying a mixed case of the two.
The location of this winery is beyond beautiful. For $12 you get 4 pours - the first one, a rose was my favorite. (and previous to this I was not a big Rose fan) On a day with good weather (as we did) you can sit out on the patio and the staff will come out and pour your next tasting. It was such a beautiful setting Highly recommend it.
We visited this winery primarily because of the beautiful views. This winery is roughly two years old and I feel like there is some room for improvement. I was a bit torn based on our experience because there were some really great things but I must say I felt a bit ripped off compared to my other winery experiences. Positive - *Great views and very peaceful*Wine was decent *Girls working there were very niceNegative - *Way over priced - Tasting consisted of two Pinot Noir's and a Rose that were ten bucks per person. A bottle of Pinot was $48 or $52. A glass of wine was $15. *No cheese, crackers or anything to purchase. We were brought 5 crackers after we said we were starving.*Your car is covered in dust by the time that you get up the gravel road
Colene Clemens is one of the better wineries in an area filled with great wineries. Oregon Pinot Noirs are great.
Loved the hospitality and the family owned feel. Very hilly gorgeous landscape. Great representation of Willamette pinot noir!
This winery is perfect! The wine was wonderful and the views were even better. Everyone was so helpful and friendly as well. It was a great place to unwind and relax. I would highly recommend this winery to everyone!
Great wine, BEAUTIFUL views and a cute dog...the building is new and very charming. We will definitely be back.
We go straight to the north end of Ribbon Ridge and climb up to Colene Clemens every time we hit the Willamette Valley wine region. The winery is slightly removed from the better known venues down around Dundee but that allows for spectacular views with no crowds. They specialize in Pinot, of course, but produce one of the finest Rose's on the west coast, if not the entire US... and its only $20! No tasting fee with a purchase. Bring some friends, bring a picnic, buy a bottle or two, sit outside and soak it all in. This is Oregon wine country at its finest. Colene Clemens is a jewel. Always at the top of our list.
The wine was very good!! The winery was off the beaten path and was recommended by another winery. The views unbelievable. A great place to take some cheese and just relax with your wine.
The most gorgeous vineyard site and tasty wines, too! We wished they had some food items so we could stay longer. Bring your own snacks.
