Gaston Or.
Reviewed By mischacooks01 - Cuenca, Ecuador
We arrived a little behind our schedule with our RV, via Harvest Host, so they quickly gave my husband a friendly half flight, since we had to pick something up in Portland. Made it back after most had gone home and realized that while we had purchased some wine, we still didn’t have wine glasses. Quinn was very gracious in allowing us to borrow glasses overnight, which we will return in the morning. Our kitty stayed inside, because there are barn owls and other cats on the property, but she enjoyed watching all the activity from our RV. Please note that the entrance is a little steep. We had no trouble, but a less robust engine might. Look forward to a walk around the vineyard tomorrow!
3. Elk Cove Vineyards

4.5 based on 79 reviews
Named for the herd of Roosevelt Elk that roam the nearby Coast Range Mountains, Elk Cove is one of Oregon's historic vineyards and was first planted in 1974 by Pat and Joe Campbell. Elk Cove remains family owned and second generation winemaker Adam Campbell is known for Single Vineyard Pinot Noirs, aromatic white wines like Pinot Gris and Pinot Blanc, and winery exclusives like their Chardonnay, Brut Rosé, Rieslings and a sweet dessert wine they call "Ultima" Interesting for travelers, Elk Cove is one of the few Oregon wineries that farm multiple vineyard sites in the Willamette Valley. Their six sites span two sub-AVAs (American Viticultural Areas) of the Willamette Valley and their fruit is grown on all three of the major soil types favored for growing grapes in this area: Jory, Laurelwood and Willakenzie. Elk Cove is also known for the spectacular view of the Coast Range Mountains and vineyards of the bowl-like property that surround their tasting room. It's a three mile drive up from Gaston, Oregon, that's totally worth the view.

We visited Elk Cove Vineyards on our trip to the Oregon wine country in late February 2020. It is located in Gaston, Oregon, part of the Yamhill-Carlton AVA (American Viticultural Area) of the Willamette Valley. We were greeted by Elissa Fenske (tasting room manager) in their beautiful tasting room with a fabulous view of the vineyards. Wine tasting is $15 per flight (one tasting waived if you purchase 2 bottles of wine). Their wines did not disappoint. Elissa was very knowledgeable and educated us on the vineyards, their processes, etc. We brought two bottles of wine: Elk Cove 2017 Willamette Valley Pinot Noir at $32.00; and Elk Cove Willamette Valley Chardonnay at $50.00. Note: The end of February is considered off season and you will probably find that you are the only ones in many of the winery tasting rooms.

We really enjoy our time at the Winery and the Winery's events! The wines are very enjoyable and the people make you feel at home. Once we joined the wine club, they really do make you feel like family! I would highly recommend this winery to visit and become a member! The club membership options are very reasonable! They have also offer case deals at different times of the year!

Lakes in or around Gaston or Forest Grove Oregon
Reviewed By WWNNDD - Redding, United States
As above, but you should know that the Lake is formed by a dam holding back two streams. When the water level is down you can see the beds - when walking in the water YOU CAN NOT. Peple get comfortable walking in the water and sudddenly find themselves over their heads in the water. Life vests are available in certain places - if you are a non-swimmer, USE THEM, and enjoy the Lake.
