Editorial Review
Ankeny Vineyard sits on the southern slopes above the Ankeny National Wildlife Refuge, a working estate that feels lived-in rather than staged. The tasting room opens to lawn and low hills; at sunset the sky slides behind reeds and you’ll understand why people linger. This is not a tuxedo winery—expect picnic-table intimacy, a wood-fired oven turning out outrageously good pizzas like Chicken Pomodoro and the Pig Out, and a small stage for acoustic bands Friday and Saturday nights and Sunday afternoons. Rod and Jodie run a hands-on operation: attentive staff, seasonal dishes, and a wine list anchored by estate Pinot Noir and Gewürztraminer. Locals come for the regular music nights and reliably excellent pizza, visitors chase the Willamette Valley wines and the views. It’s equally a place for casual date nights and company holiday parties; the team here knows how to host a crowd without losing the neighborhood vibe. Take your time, order a flight, and let the light and live music do the rest.
