Torii Mor Winery

We stopped by on a slow Friday afternoon. We enjoyed the wonderful wine as we wandered outside and finished our tasting on the patio overlooking the estate. Great experience, an unexpected personal wine tasting with a personable and knowledgeable pourer.

What a wonderful place! From the fantastic Pinot Noir to the beautiful setting we were so pleased we returned. We love their wine ! Try the Viognier if you are looking for a nice pairing with shellfish! The 2013 Pinot is to die for!

This is one of my favorite tasting rooms. The wines are good. The service is friendly and welcoming. They have a lovely deck outside and when we came in April, they gladly brought our last few wines outside so we could enjoy the view. I highly recommend Torii Mor if you are tasting in the McMinville area.

My favorite winery that I’ve visited. Great port and pretty good other varieties, and the view was the best I have seen! Came recommended by a personal friend of the vineyards owners as well as my former restaurant GM. Did not disappoint!

Torii Mor was horrible customer service. They don’t make any wines themselves. A small asain tasting room that makes no sense. No view and no parking don’t go

An ok choice for wine tasting in Willamette Valley, not at the top of my list, but worth a visit if you are already in the area. I dropped in with 3 others for a tasting a bit before closing on a Friday. The young man helping uses new to the tasting room, but still very pleasant. They were light on the white pours. The Pinots were good. The view is really nice, but there was an unfriendly dog tied up out back.
I would not recommend Torii Mor for groups larger than four.

Nice wines. Liked the 2005 Pinot Noir from Umpqua Valley and the port. I bought the port. The wines were very delicate.

Went here a few weeks ago. It was a beautiful November day, and we wanted to go to a winery with a nice view. The ambiance is a little strange. It feels like someones home. The deck is pretty much in someones house. The wine was good, a flight for $ 10 is a decent deal in the Dundee Hills. I probably will try other wineries, and i have enjoyed others in the area more. Still, a decent spot to visit.

Off the beaten path.
Overall, my friend and I had a decent experience at Torii Mor. Pinot Noir is a favorite and so we were looking forward to a tasting at this winery.
NOTES:
–Tasting fee = $ 10.
–Tasting room is quite cozy. Asian themed with a Japanese Garden next door.
–Service was good. The staff was polite and very knowledgeable.
–It’s quite a trek to get to this winery. After turning off the main highway/​road, visitors will have to travel on a unpaved road. I would suggest a truck or suv is more suited if planning a visit. I wish I had done more thorough research about the location as the road being unpaved was unexpected.
–I loved the Port!
BOTTOM LINE: A decent wine tasting experience.

I LOVED their Pinot Blanc! It’s probably my favorite of any Pinot Blanc I’ve ever tasted. The asian vibe there is pretty unique compared to anything else I’ve seen in Willamette. The tasting room is small but cozy and if too many people were inside tasting it would feel crowded. Our server was really friendly and we enjoyed our stop. It was a pretty drive just down a long dirt road to get there.

«Make one dream come true, you only live twice.» — «You Only Live Twice» (1967, James Bond)
«Deux Verres» is the Yakuza’s pinot choice, I’m sure of it. I know, now I’m crossing over from 007 to Yakuza references. Next I’m going to be telling you about how I thought I saw some Bonzai trees (I think I really did, properly pruned). I also thought I saw old feudal screen partitions. There are no tatamis, that I remember. Floors are beautiful cypress wood, or at least wood that looks like cypress. This does feel like 1967 Japanese housing. The architecture is quite ingenious. What’s not so ingenious is the wine beyond the «Deux Verres.» But it’s good enough for a tasting visit. #smartass

Whenever in wine country, Torii Mor is on the agenda. I love the wines, especially the Deux Verres and the Pinot Blanc. My family loves, loves, loves the Port, and I think that is the reason we always make a stop here. I like that it’s a smaller more intimate winery, because the folks always seem to remember at least one of us in the family. The staff is very friendly and helpful, and when the weather permits, we like to take our tastes outside on the patio with a spectacular view of M. Hood.

Full disclosure: I’m a member, so I am either really biased… or you could say I can give you a more informed description (as I have been here more times than I can count). I love the wine, the tasting room, the staff, the incredible view over the vineyards and towards Mt. Hood. Many have complained that the tasting fee is high, but I would say it’s on par with other wineries in the Dundee Hills.
The staff here are what really make the experience every time. Tina in particular is super friendly, but many of the folks that work here greet us with a smile and know who we are when we walk in the door. That’s the kind of recognition you just can’t get at some of the bigger wineries in the area, and it’s what keeps me coming back.
The wine is outstanding! The Deux Verres is the kind of wine you can drink every day, and with any meal. It is very smooth and always a big hit with friends and family. Their other pinots are worth the price tag, many of which are from single vineyards. The port gets plenty of love it seems, as it should. Most ports are syrupy and hard to choke down, there’s is intense and sweet (in a good way).
Being a member here is so worth it. The tasting fee is waived for up to four people, and there are many events throughout the year (some are even in the owner’s home next to the tasting room) with more wines to try than you can shake a stick at.

…6 bottle minimum to waive the tasting fee? wha?
Dunno, that seemed pretty pretentious to me. Is the place in that dire need of the tasting fee income? My friend spent $ 100 on just two bottles of wine, so we were on the hook for the fee, too. Of the 25 or so vineyards I’ve been to this summer (throughout the west coast), it’s far-​and-​away a first, but maybe that’s a common practice among higher-​priced wineries???
Our host did open a couple extra bottles for us (not on the tasting menu), which was cool. The Japanese garden was a welcomed rest stop, and the freedom to go walking through the vineyards is relaxing, especially with the sweet views.
I realize now I don’t have all that much to say about the wine, here. Nothing good or bad, it just doesn’t stick out in my memory that much.
Also, the road to get here is pretty whack, but the views make up for that aspect, IMO.

As a kid, I always wanted a pimpin’ tree house. You know, one with all the bells and whistles and a great view. Well, the Torii Mor tasting room is very reminiscent of that dream. But better, because there’s wine!
The tasting room is really beautiful and relaxed with a stunning deck that overlooks the vineyard. Apparently this is also one of the most popular/​famous spots to kiss in Portland (ish), too! The staff at the tasting room was extremely friendly and knowledgeable, leading our group three the six tastings: $ 10 each.
My personal favorite was the pinot noir, which at this point I can’t recall the name, but it was $ 60 per bottle. Apparently the winemaker is from Burgundy, France so he brings a ton of influences from there into his wine. Fine by me! And I have to say, the port was surprisingly beautiful. Normally ports remind me too much of cough syrup, but Torii Mor’s was smooth, velvety and lovely.
Grab yourself a pic-​a-​nic basket and drop by Torii Mor for some vino and view.

Took a detour to Torii Mor while in the area and I’m glad that we did. It was a bright wintery Friday so we had the small tasting area to ourselves. Tasting fee is $ 10 and gets you around 5 pours, refundable with a purchase of 6 bottles. So if you’re in a group of 4 as we were, you’d have to buy 2 CASES of wine to get your fees refunded. Not much incentive there. You might as well just join the club then cancel later.
We tasted the Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, a couple Pinot Noirs, and the Port. I enjoyed them all. They were relatively affordable and offered generally tasty wines. The grounds feature a japanese garden with sparse seating options

I enjoyed this small vineyard. Their tasting room is a bit small so when their is more than one group and the weather is wet (welcome to Oregon seriously) it gets a bit overcrowded and loud. The staff are very knowledgeable and extremely friendly. Some vineyards give you that rushed feel but even with the cramped space I was relaxed. They also have a pretty amazing Port. Their tasting and wines are a bit spendier than the nearby vineyards but for quality I think they are worth it. I highly recommend at least giving them a taste.
I will echo the sentiments about their lot though which is a poorly maintained dirt and gravel road. They also have a pretty small parking lot that is a bit scary to navigate.

What a charming little winery. This one is a fun one. We did a tasting and the staff was very engaging and knowledgable about the wines. My boyfriend and I liked it so much he joined the wine club.
We left with our wine club package on the spot.
We had planned ahead for this trip and packed a lunch which we ate outside at the tables in the yard.
This place is a fun stop and great views. We’ve back a couple of times and really enjoyed it.

We’ve had the black label and thought the wine was pretty good so, we added Torii Mor Winery to our list of wineries to visit during out trip up to Portland.
We were surprised after we read several Unilocal reviews of folks who did not like their wine. I really liked it and thought it was a tasty easy to drink wine with good structure and flavors.
The winery is GORGEOUS. The tasting room is serene and zen with a very relaxed Asian feel, which is a lovely surprise.
The patio is even more beautiful. We sat down with our wine glasses and relaxed as we enjoyed a view of Mt. Hood in the distance.
The wine tasting was nice — we started with whites, then the pinot, then finished up with a port. The only port we tasted all day. I usually don’t like ports but I was surprised how good it was on its own.
I will definintely come back and will recommend this beautiful winery to everyone.

SWEET PLACE. We found it on the way back from Lange, and it had a really cool, Japanese feel and architecture. Kind of felt like being in a Japanese standing bar. The hostess was great, very friendly — even though she had a lot of customers when we were there.
BEST PART was the view from their AWESOME PATIO in the back with view of Mt. Hood– heavenly… Anyone can go– but I guess most people don’t know it’s there. They don’t advertise it. Nice grounds as well.
I wasn’t too keen on their wines– aside from the PORTE. YUM. I heard they have a great membership plan that gets you free tastings for you and anyone in your group? (regularly $ 10 each), and 50% off your purchase during your visit. They have different types of memberships.
