Driving to Portland, we decided to pull off in Roseburg and visit a winery. In reviewing what was in the area, Hillcrest sounded interesting because it is the oldest continually producing winery. We pulled in and what a treat! The winemaker/owner, Dyson, greeted us, shared his wines, wine knowledge and the history of Hillcrest. Loved our stop there. Tasted some... More

Actually Hillcrest is my favorite winery period. The winemaker/owner Dyson is the most knowledgeable winemaker I have ever talked to and it is always a pleasure to hear him talk about his experience and his passion for winemaking. He is a down to earth guy just like his wife Susan. The place is low key and relaxed. It you want... More

This is a nice family-run Artisan winery in a beautiful rural location. During our visit, there was a bachelorette group which didn't provide much room to taste the wines being offered. HillCrest has outside seating too, also a winery dog wandering the premises!

This winery was hands down the star of an Oregon wine trip my wife and I took last year. The woman conducting the tasting was a local food and wine writer who was super friendly and thrilled to talk about the winemaker's techniques, inspiration and food pairings. The wines were the best we tasted on our trip. I later ordered... More

Gorgeous surroundings, nice tasting room, well-priced wines should you decide to take a few bottles home (and why not?). Lots of open space for a nice stroll, or even a picnic.

We did a small wine tasting tour and the owners were very friendly and informative. They even let us go in the back where they press the grapes and keg the wine. This was some of my favorite wine that we brough home with us. They only sell their wine on site so if you want it get it while... More
