Paul O'Brien Winery, Roseburg

The host, Andrea, was phenomenal, knowledgeable and friendly. She treated us more like a family member or friend and shared beautiful wines and conversation with us. She made our experience a fantastic one. The wines were delicious and we became members. You will not be disappointed in this winery.

Purchased a case online and couldn't go pick it up until today. My wife decided she would have a tasting while she was there. $15, but it's waived if you buy 2 bottles. We were informed by Andrea the case didn't count because it wasn't purchased today. That is ridiculous. So buy a case online and go pick it up =no tasting. We didn't go in, buy wine then go home and come back another day expecting the fee to be waived. This was the day we could pick it up. It would seem that purchasing a case would get the fee waived. She kept saying, "I don't make the rules". There's a good chance she was not applying them properly. My wife had been talking on email with her and she knew who we were and why we couldn't get there sooner. She certainly wasn't welcoming.

Update 3/2021: Classic wines by passionate winemakers! The 2016 Umpqua Valley Pinot Noir I’m currently drinking (good luck finding a bottle) is a classic! This baby has been sitting in my cellar for two years and today is a special occasion (I wanted to sip a good wine). The classic notes of black cherry open to perfection. Behaved acidity and truly silky tannins make this a wine you want to keep savoring. 95 points and I’m being stingy). If only Dyson and Scott would put actual tasting notes on the back label rather than the tripe some marketing consultant talked them into. Fortunately that does not detract from this outstanding wine. __________________________________________ Paul O’Brien’s was recommended by a former vineyard owner - and that was a great recommendation! Some of the best wines I’ve had in the Umpqua valley are here (bought more bottles here than at any other winery on this trip). Come here for the wines rather than vineyard views. 2016 Pinot Noir (awesome); best Tempranillo I’ve had outside of Spain! Cozy wine tasting room with pleasant service. $10 tasting fee waived with purchase of one bottle (which you are going to want anyway). Highly recommend.

Stopped by on our way to Ashland and had a great tasting. Wish we got the name of the woman who served us. She was amazing! Thank you...we will teturn!

We had such a great experience at Paul O'Brien! Audrea was patient and kind, and explained so much to us about their wines, food pairings, and even let us know about other local wineries and vineyards. Her recommendations for a local Greek restarting were spot on as well! I haven’t been wine tasting since before covid restrictions started, but was pleasantly surprised at how good the experience was. We’ll definitely be returning. Of course, the wines were fantastic also!
