The folks who work here are lovely and the number of wines to try! So many and they are very knowledgeable. High class wines in a very casual relaxed atmosphere, laid back like you’re on someone’s front porch. Wish we lived closer or we would be here more!!! Much love from Olympia to you guys!

While most of the other shops, boutiques and tasting rooms on 3rd St. were closing up for the evening, Pinot Vista was just getting started. My wife and I saw a two-piece band setting up for their performance through the window, and decided to pop in for a glass (or two) and some live entertainment.
We were warmly welcomed into this classy (seeminly family run) little space, ordered a chardonnay (I didn't catch the name), Rose of Tempranillo (which my wife liked so much, she ordered one for herself afterward), and the Gewurstraminer (which ended up being my favorite). All the while, we were engaged and entertained by the two members of the band, who were amused by our toddler's sons utter fascination with them and their music. Big thanks to both of them, and the owners of Pinot Vista, for allowing and taking pleasure in our son's wanderings and exploration! He was enraptured!
Such a relaxing environment, couple with some wonderful wine, beautiful music, and spending time with family without any responsibilities or expectations, is the perfect way to spend a Saturday evening, and I can't imagine many better places in McMinnville than here at Pinot Vista! We will definitely be back, the next time we find ourselves in town.

This was our second visit to this tasting room in three years and both results were with Rich. Five stars are not enough to describe the wine, Rich, and our experience there. While not all wines there were to our style, Rich learned our preferences and introduced us to vintages and wineries that are outstanding and at the pinnacle of their varietals. Rich has experiences and stories that compliment the tasting leaving a person with a deeper understanding of the wineries, the wine, and the people producing them. One leaves with an extremely positive feeling of discovering new exciting wines to be shared with friends and family and having spent an hour of great fellowship with an intense open human being (Rich). My only problem is how soon can I invent a reason to drive four hours from Seattle to do it again.
EDIT:
Well we got the opportunity to revisit this tasting room again. While Rich was not there, his staff was helpful, educational, and joined in the family fun of giving Dad a bad time (I laughed too). It is still a great location for tasting and trying new vintages and new wines. Thanks for continuing the same atmosphere and attitudes toward your customers and your wines.
My favorite place to be! Entertainment is awesome and everyone is so fun. We all get into the entertainment! I love the atmosphere! Rich is so friendly and kind, great people to be around!
Relaxed, unpretentious tasting room. Local decor and rustic ambience made for a comfy atmosphere whilst we sipped on some lovely local wines. A must visit for tourists and locals.
Charity & Rich are AMAZING! Great customer service, great wines, great people. They made our private event super easy & fun! We always have a good time there & the tasting room is super comfortable & nice.
