About the winery
Our tasting flights feature at least 5 wines (and often include our white Pinot Noir!) Tastings are private/semi-private are held on our lawn, tasting room and barrel room depending on the season. Tastings typically last 75-90 minutes. Reservations are highly recommended but we accept walk-ins when possible. Tendril Wine Cellars is a personal wine project created and owned by renowned winemaker, Tony Rynders. Named for the detective grape tendril, this title was chosen to honor the grapevine itself. Tony believes the vineyards and grapes themselves are the foundation of great wine. He has created a unique array of wines which highlight the diversity of flavors and textures that be achieved in Willamette Valley.
