Good wine and great view. Pourer was really nice and inviting. Spacous, open and clean with lovely outdoor seating. Would be a 5 start place if there were pairings, and if tastings were $10 like many other places of the same caliber or better.

Terrific family owned winery. Scott is a very gifted winemaker, genuinely beautiful wines across the entire flight! The Gruner Vetliner (gru-vy to you somm/geeks) is the finest new world example I have ever ever tasted, by far! Brandy provided very kind hospitality, the design and view from the tasting room are breathtaking! The care and dedication to the vineyard is remarkable. Highly recommended stop slightly off the beaten path and worth the effort.

The one wine we tasted was ok but the service was terrible. We were waiting at the counter for a good five minutes for our second tasting while the lady who was pouring was doing something in the kitchen. She saw us there at least twice and said nothing. We ended up walking out. And no, it was not busy. There were only a couple other people there.

Nice view even when it s a bit gray out. The wines are lovely, the tasting fee is a bit more than some places, but if you re coming in the spring and summer, it might be a bit more reasonable as you can spend more time outside sitting around. The inside is a bit small if there are a lot of people there.

The view from this tasting room is unbelievable! There is a deck you can hang out on and enjoy a bottle of wine or just a tasting. We purchased two bottles of the Auxerrois which is a white wine. We didn't drink them both there!

A lot of these wineries around here have nice views, there is no exception here. The enviornment here is really relaxed and I remember enjoying all their wines poured out for the tasting flight. Good stuff.

Perfect day on the deck with more than enough social distance. Excellent wines and a beautiful cheese platter which paired nicely with my wines. Very personal team. Planning another trip to consider wine club membership....

Excellent wines. We are club members and went for a tempranillo and paella event tonight. Fabulous! Compared RR against three wines from Spain and they were all excellent. We've been members for several years. Highly recommended!

Just loved our afternoon here. It was in the fall of 2019 and we sat had some charcuterie on there deck overlooking the vineyard. It was awesome.

The staff looked after us and kept us well informed about each wine we tasted. It really was the highlight of our winery tour of our 2019 season.

I can t wait to return. I hope it s as magical as it was that day.

I have been many times. All new staff since last year and I love all the new wines and new people working in the tasting room. They have an incredibly awesome Sommelier running the tasting room who moved from Chicago and he is hilarious! The wine club manger is a native Brit and is also a crack up! Very knowledgeable fun people with some serious wines! The Pinot Noirs are very artistic and the Tempranillo has a significant European influence to it, which I really loved! The owners Annie and Scott are super easy going and I love talking with them about their plans for the winery. Very cool to hear how Scott got his start to winemaking.

I brought friends with me a couple of times to this beautiful scenic winery. Both times the female wine attendants responded rudely. I don't plan to go back again because there are plenty of beautiful scenic vineyards in the state of Oregon who welcome me and my business.

Great wines and a lovely view from the tasting room. Customary tasting flight is always available, you can also enjoy a glass of your favorite with a view of the mountains. Unless you have my luck, on a clear day there still seems to be cloud or haze that lingers but even on a cloudy day the view is lovely.

Very knowledgeable and friendly staff at the tasting room at Raptor Ridge. We aren't wine club members here, but were still treated to an extra pour. Some very good reds and white wines, and they'll even fill growlers for you!

Established in 1994, this winery isn't going anywhere. They are a smaller operation that devotes time and effort in producing the best wines they can. The atmosphere is very relaxed but the traffic noise from nearby Hwy 219 is a bit of a bummer.

We stopped by the check out to the view and have some wine. The staff at the winery is what makes this place a fantastic spot for some wine, knowledge and good views. We tried the tasting menu and the wine was good and the service was fantastic. You can relax and have some great wine and good discussions with friends when here

I am a member. However I m going to cancel. I was helped by Luigi. I was seated outside. Proper social distancing. Every time I say my glass down Luigi ran over and told me yo put my mask on. This is totally against the mask requirements. He never came over over to take my order. Just to tell me to put my mask on. I would not go to this tasting room. Very disappointing.

Enjoyed a perfect late morning with a glass of 2015 Brut Methode Champagne as I relaxed on the tasting rooms back patio. So peaceful with my wife and sister, a light breeze kissing our faces as we viewed the amazingly beautiful Raptor Ridge grapes and Mt Hood to the east. If only everyday could be like this.
