Live music Thurs thru Sunday most weeks. Great selection of good local wines and a couple of beers on tap. Music is LOUD (and people dance) on Thursdays but varies Friday and Saturday depending on the players. Sunday afternoon jazz is tasty.

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.

Fantastic place, people and wine. We were so lucky to go there right before closing and as an extra treat we met the very welcoming friendly owner who served us a taste flight and had a great conversation with him. Fantastic wine and people. Love it!

My wife and I visited this tasting room once as novice tasters and had an amazing experience! Just to verify that it wasn’t a fluke we came back a second time and it was just as fantastic as the first time! Rich is a very personable and professional host!

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.

It is has a great layout & stocked tasting room with beer on tap & multiple wineries being represented. Rich Washburn is a perfect host for intimate settings, small groups & as witnessed here when the place was full. One of the best in McMinnville.

Popped in for a wine tasting during a small Bachelorette weekend, we enjoyed the wines, service, and vibes. Live music was so fun but didn’t overpower our conversations. There may have been some sing-along. If I could, I’d give an extra star for the people there, they paid attention to our glasses & we never had to wait between tastes, even with 5 of us, and they had a good sense of humor. We enjoyed our visit!

Stopped in for a “taste of Pinot” and met Rich who poured us some very tasty wines including Pinot Noir, Cabernet Franc (very tasty). Spent quite awhile in a very relaxed atmosphere. Of course it was a Sunday and perfect for us!
We visited a second time without Rich and we spent time outside On a rather windy and cold afternoon as the venue was hosting a private party. We were later invited indoors which made our second visit nice.
Recommend this location in downtown McMinville as it has a different ambiance than your standard wine tasting venues! Thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

Have a seat at the bar you will receive great service, fantastic atmosphere and amazing wine (the munchies help). Did I say Rich is the best host!! If not he certainly is! Locals and out of towners are equally comfortable in a location that makes u feel at home.
