We did a small wine tasting tour and the owners were very friendly and informative. They even let us go in the back where they press the grapes and keg the wine. This was some of my favorite wine that we brough home with us. They only sell their wine on site so if you want it get it while... More

Diane was wonderful...and so were the wines! I don't usually enjoy red wines that much but all of theirs were outstanding! We brought our own picnic lunch and at upstair on the deck with a glass of their wine. Thanks Diane! More

I had lived in Roseburg, OR for a few years and during the first couple of months, we made a short trip to Hillcrest Vineyards. We had been to most of the others in the area already. I will never forget this truly magical experience. It was in 2004 and the DeMara family had just recently purchased the property. Dyson... More

I had a day to kill thanks to rainy weather, and was unable to photograph, so I thought why not tour some vineyards. My first stop was by far my favorite and best. I arrived a bit early but the door was open, and I was welcomed right in. Dyson has a vast knowledge of grapes, wine, climate, and general... More

The owner is hands on, entertaining and very informative without being pretentious. HillCrest is such a great wine tasting experience with wonderful wines. At other wineries in the area we bought a bottle or two. At HillCrest we bought two CASES of six different varietals. Great stuff at a great price. He also sells used barrels for only $35! They...

I've been to wineries in all over the world (S.Australia, New Zealand, Germany, France, Spain, Cali. and even in Massachusetts where I live) and I can truly say this was my finest tasting room experience. Both Dyson and Susan were available to speak to us about their dry farm wine making process which not very common now adays in the... More

In this age of "brands" and "sameness", my visit to Hillcrest Vineyards was a revelation. Being a wine lover and collector, I get to taste many, many wines. So, let me tell you that these are "real" wines. I was most impressed with their "Right Bank" red blend, the Syrah, and their Riesling. Each wine made with the care and... More

We had never been to the southern Oregon wineries and decided to plan a long wine-tasting weekend. After serveral stops in the Roseburg area, we stumbled upon Hillcrest Vineyards. Hands down the wines possessed the most depth and flavor compared to the other vineyards in the area. All their grapes are "dry farmed" and the wines are produced with old... More
