What we’re about
UPDATE: Starting July, 2024 no more $5 annual fee. Meetup has increased the fee to use their platform more than double. I am passing this fee along to my members by charging $2.50 per event. Please Venmo me at @Kari-Furse when you sign up for an event. If you do not use Venmo let me know and you can pay me cash at the event itself.
Let's get together and share our love of wine tasting! I am not a wine expert but enjoy the experience and like sharing it with others! I will book us tastings at different types of vineyards. Group size will vary per venue.

- Stone Griffin Vineyard Wine TastingNeeds location
Stone Griffon Vineyard opened our tasting room on Carlton’s Main Street in February 2015. We are a small, family owned and operated winery, producing approximately 1800 cases of wine with the 2016 harvest, with 12 different vintages and varietals produced.
Being a smaller facility, our goal is to provide a relaxed and friendly atmosphere in which everyone feels comfortable asking those “dumb” questions about wine and winemaking. Really, there are no dumb questions for someone who wants to know more about wine and wishes to enhance their wine tasting experience. Our guests are treated like guests in our home.Our tasting fee is $25 per person. It is waived with a $50 purchase per person.

- Wine tasting at Et Fille WinesNeeds location
Tastings provide a journey through 5-6 of our sustainably crafted wines, often including a Chardonnay, Viognier or Rosé (seasonally), and both blended and single vineyard Pinot Noir. This is a wonderful introduction to Et Fille wines that are rarely found outside our tasting room. $25 per person.
They do not have food to purchase but will put together a Charcuterie Board for $80 if we want to purchase this as a group. OR you can bring in your own food.

503.538.2900 - Hyland Estates wine tastingNeeds location
Hyland Vineyard has been a part of the Willamette Valley since 1971. You can’t talk about the origins of Oregon winemaking without mentioning the gentle giant overlooking the Van Duzer corridor. Untouched, unmoved and self-rooted, Hyland’s gnarly 50-year old vines remain entrenched in red volcanic Jory soil. They’ve been there since the beginning, watching as new neighbors have moved in and planted their own vineyards.
They do serve food and have a small menu that includes a Charcuterie Board, that Joe said he could give to us for $10/pp. They would like advance notice on this though, so let me know if you are interested in getting this.
Tasting fee is $30/pp.Hyland Estates Winery
