We had THE BEST time at Chris James Cellars! Not only were the wines unique, varied and DELICIOUS!, but the service was spectacular and the atmosphere amazing!! I'm sorry to say that I can't remember their names, but both women that helped us were fun, knowledgeable and friendly. We tried several varietals that I wasn't familiar with and they were all incredible! Chris James is one of the few tasting rooms that is absolutely on our list of "Will return to EVERY time we're in McMinnville"!

We loved our experience! Dustin, who catered to us and our flight, was very knowledgeable and knows his wines. I loved how, when he poured us wine, he gave us a mini story of where the wine came from. I am new to wine tasting and so I also appreciated the facts he gave us about grape skins, wine barrels, and the combination of fermenting. Thank you Dustin! Give that man a raise :)

Tracy and Beth are friendly. This place was hopping! Our favorite wines were Reserve Pinot noir willamette valley and Syrah Columbia Valley, both '18! She gave us two bonus tastings. We bought a bottle!

Wines were fantastic. Of course we all have our favorites but tried outside my usuals and learned so much! So much to choose from, many varietals from this winery. Our attendant was on point; there and not there at the right times. Provided great information. Highly recommend!

We so enjoy the Chris James Cellars Tasting Room in downtown McMinnville. The setting is beautiful and the wine is sublime!

Visited the estate and then stopped in for a tasting at the downtown location. The owners are very kind. Chris (the sommelier) was very masterful and gave great descriptions of all the wines. We enjoyed the experience so much and purchased a few bottles to take home.

We don't normally drink white wine, but we ended up with a bottle as a gift. We opened it at a small party we had, and everyone loved it. Delicious.

Great variety, and Chris was great. I really like and refer people to them for their variety of whites. I have known the owner/staff over the course of 3 years I lived up this way. They don't disappoint and you have some semi-sweet, unique blends, and fun tasting wines. You should go!
