Ariana describes a Pacific Northwest wine focus at its Westside Bend bungalow. The most useful posted detail is the choice of pairing budgets alongside its six-course tasting menu.
The food menu is $120 per guest, with a $50 standard wine pairing or $100 reserve pairing added. That's $170 or $220 before any other charges. Ask what each pairing includes tonight before choosing the more expensive route.
The official pages checked for this guide don't identify the current individual glass pours or serving sizes. Ask for the evening's list rather than counting on a particular producer.
The Bottom Line
Set the pairing budget first: $50 standard or $100 reserve, added to the $120 tasting menu. Bringing your own? Posted corkage is $40 per 750 ml bottle; confirm any other conditions. These posted terms were checked in September 2026, not assessed through an onsite tasting.
Downtown Bend · Bend · Wine Bar & Retail Wine Shop
Viaggio's sample Coravin menu lets you taste 35 wines in two-ounce pours, up to Mongeard-Mugneret 2020 Grands-Echezeaux at $58 and Vega-Sicilia 2012 Unico at $65. Start with Bründlmayer 2020 Ried Lamm at $14 or Roagna 2018 Pira Barolo at $26, and check today's selection and prices before heading over.
Downtown · Bend · Thai
A short, Northwest-leaning list at a Thai restaurant, with no prices posted. Start with the King Estate Pinot Gris or the Acrobat Rosé, both from Oregon, and ask your server what each costs and how it is served. This unrated guide covers the posted drinks page, not service, storage or markups.
Westside · Bend · Italian (Tuscan-focused, handmade pasta)
An Italian list with real range: $9 house pours at the bottom and a reserve section that runs through Barolo, Brunello and Amarone to $140. Start with the $16 Rosso di Montalcino, or the $14 Chianti if you are ordering the pappardelle, and check vintages because the list says they are subject to change. This unrated guide covers the posted drinks list, not service, storage or markups.
Old Mill District · Bend · Italian-American
This is a pasta-house list with a wide Italian and Oregon spread: bottles start at $36 and 14 wines come by the glass. Start with the Pastini Rosso at $9.25 for 6oz or the La Quercia Montepulciano at $10, and save Elk Cove ($60) for when you want to splurge on a Willamette Pinot. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or markups, and the list is undated, so confirm what is available.
Downtown · Bend · Cajun
An Oregon-first list with real range: eleven glass pours, three orange wines and a Pinot Noir section that runs from 50 to 160. Order the Jean-Paul Dubost "Recolte" Gamay at 36 with the jambalaya, or the Raimbault Sancerre by the glass with the redfish, and confirm the vintage because the list says vintages are subject to change. This unrated guide covers the posted drinks list, not service, storage or markups.
Box Factory · Bend · Wine Bar
The Bend Wine Bar pours one winery's Oregon and Washington wines, and its Fall 2026 menu leans on Black Dog Vineyard Pinot Noir. Order the Pinot Noir 2022 by the glass with the $27 salami and cheese board, or start with the $13 Willamette Valley Pinot Noir. Confirm what is pouring today, since the menu is labeled Fall 2026; this unrated guide covers the posted wine menu, not service, storage or markups.
· Round Rock · New American
Whiskey Cake Round Rock isn't a wine destination, but it's not trying to be — the all-by-the-glass format keeps things approachable, the pricing is honest, and there are a couple of genuinely good pours hiding in a short list. If wine is your priority tonight, look elsewhere; if you're here for the vibe and want something decent in your glass, Chehalem and Altocedro have you covered.

· Columbia · New American
Motor Supply Co. Bistro appears to put its energy into the kitchen, and that may be the right call — but three wines is not a wine program. Until this list gets a serious rethink, order a cocktail or call ahead to ask about corkage.

THREE isn't trying to be a wine destination, and the list makes that abundantly clear. If you're here for cocktails or the bar scene, you're probably in the right place — but if wine matters to you even a little, this four-item lineup isn't going to do much for you. Order the House Champagne at $5, accept the situation for what it is, and move on.
