Reviews of Cristom Vineyards (Winery)

Martina Clements

I LOVE Cristom. I love their wine. Dustin was probably a HUGE factor in us joining the wine club. He is SO knowledgeable, funny, friendly and he has the same palate for wine that I do. I have NEVER EVER had bad wine here. Cristom is more upscale than a lot of other vineyards in their pricing. They don't offer you a tasting OR a glass of wine as a member, and I understand why they don't want to cheapen the tasting room experience, but it will pinch the purse a bit more to make it a pop in for a glass if you're a member. I haven't yet gone to any of the member events, but I am really looking forward to it. This wine will not disappoint you, be prepared to pay for it though because it is GOOD wine.

I can highly recommend a visit to Cristom, known for its whole cluster fermentation, low staff turnover rate and outstanding wine/ winemaker, Steve. Many people have been there for over 25 years! Julie and Darcy love working there, and it shows. They speak very highly of Steve, and his old world style. Both ladies were very knowledgable, yet down to Earth and engaging. Julie was a lot of fun and made the entire experience a blast. The views are lovely and you will have a wonderful experience too.Thanks, ladies! Elizabeth

Carter was great!! He was very knowledgeable about the wine process and the vineyards. We loved him. Plus it was great wine! We will definitely stop again.

This review is a little late, but my wife and I went there as part of a wine-tasting tour for our anniversary. This was easily our favorite of the day, so much so that it was the only one we bought wine at. They were well-staffed with friendly, knowledgeable people. It was nice to be able to have a good discussion with the staff without feeling like I was distracting them from other guests. The wine was very good and I enjoyed talking and learning about the owners. The setting was typical Oregon winery: gorgeous and elegant.

Great place to taste wine. My very favorite pinots.

Our visit far exceeded expectations. We had visited another winery in the area and enjoyed the visit. Christom, however, was heads above for atmosphere, hosting, and most importantly wine taste and quality. Sipping some fantastic pinot noir while sitting out side soaking in the sun and enjoying an expansive view of the Willamette Valley could not have been better. The sales pitch was low key, but effective, and the tasting fee was waived with the purchase of a bottle of wine. We look forward to a return visit.

We had a lovely time at our tasting. We learned a lot about the area's wines and the different philosophies of wine making. Christom's practice of controlling all facets of the process turns out very good wine. We ended up ordering a case of Pinot Gris that beats any other I've tasted. Merry Christmas to those of you receiving a bottle! Famous for its Pinot Noirs (as is the entire Eola Hills region), this winery impresses with its tasting cellar layout, friendly staff and beautiful vineyard. A $15.00 tasting fee, nearly A$40 for two, was a little steep, considering Pinot Noir is not high on our preferred list of wines, so we toured the impressive vineyard instead.

Just 15 minutes away from Salem is hidden this Willamette gem. We stopped by for a wine tasting and selected the seasonal flight (5 wines for $15) that we shared for 2. We got to taste a very delicate and fruity Viognier, a Pinot Noir rosé (I am not much of a rosé girl but something happened there!) and 3 beautiful Pinot Noir (we both had a crush on Eileen, so different and surprising!). I highly recommend to visit for: - the very warm welcome we got from the whole team and especially the young lady who guided our flight. - obviously the wine quality, you are among the really good ones. - the charming tasting house, patio and beautiful views that made the whole experience truly enticing. - the very reasonable price point. Bravo!

This was our very first winery during our trip to Oregon, and it was an amazing introduction to Oregon wines. Holly was a fantastic person to take us through our wine tasting, and she was so personable and friendly. She is very knowledgeable about wine, and we learned so much about Oregon wines and Cristom. We enjoyed the wines at Cristom so much that we left with several bottles to enjoy back home. This winery was still our favorite even after visiting several others in the area.

Renee Arias

Had a beautiful view! And a great, modern-looking tasting room with good wines.

Kim Raine

Amazing wine and view! Nice treat from Willamette Valley Cheese Company too.

We had a great time at Cristom Vineyards. Jeri gave us a warm welcome, and was very friendly and knowledgeable about the wines. We enjoyed our conversation, our tasting, the beautiful scenery, and the complimentary local cheese very much. We'll definitely come back the next time we visit!
