Check the address before making plans: Sunriver Brewing now lists its Eastside Pub at 1500 NE Cushing Drive, the address attached to this Jackson’s Corner Eastside review. Jackson’s Corner’s own website lists its restaurant at 845 NW Delaware Avenue. The wine recommendations below have not been verified for either current location.
The list stays tight and local, leaning almost entirely on Oregon and Washington producers, which makes sense given Jackson's Corner's broader ethos of sourcing close to home. You're not getting a globe-trotting adventure here, but what you do get is a focused Pacific Northwest perspective that respects the region. Elk Cove showing up on a counter-service pizza spot's wine list is a genuine tell — someone made real choices when building this. The gaps are obvious: no old-world representation, slim on reds beyond Pinot Noir, and no real depth for exploration. But for what it is, the curation punches above its weight class.
The by-the-glass program runs four to eight options, keeping things approachable in the $9–$13 range — fair pricing for Bend, where wine markups can get painful fast. Don't expect a rotating program or a chalkboard special; what's on the list is what's on the list. It's honest, low-drama, and gets the job done.
Elk Cove Willamette Valley Pinot Noir — $60
Elk Cove is a legitimately respected Willamette Valley producer, and finding it on a casual café list at bottle prices that don't make you wince is the kind of thing worth flagging. Order the pizza, split this bottle, feel like you figured something out.
A to Z Wineworks Oregon Pinot Gris
Everyone reaches for Pinot Noir in Oregon and ignores the Pinot Gris — which is a mistake. A to Z makes a clean, food-friendly version that works hard against almost everything on Jackson's menu, especially the wood-fired dishes. Most people will skip it. Don't.
Elk Cove Willamette Valley Pinot Noir
By the glass, you're paying per-pour economics on a bottle that's worth committing to fully. If you're only having one glass, grab the Pinot Gris instead and save the Elk Cove for a proper bottle night.
A to Z Wineworks Oregon Pinot Gris + Brick-oven pizza
The Pinot Gris has enough acidity to cut through char and cheese without fighting the toppings for attention. It's bright, it's easy, and it makes a wood-fired crust taste like the point of the whole evening.
The Bottom Line
Do not use this Eastside review to plan a current Jackson’s Corner visit. Sunriver Brewing lists its Eastside Pub at the Cushing Drive address; Jackson’s Corner lists 845 NW Delaware Avenue. Confirm the location and current wine menu directly before making plans.

For a Va Piano visit in Bend, head to the Wine & Champagne Bar at 425 SW Powerhouse Drive, Suite 301. Confirm the current wines and pour prices directly, and reserve ahead for groups of six or more. The winery’s subscription page is not a tasting-room menu.

Salute isn't trying to be a wine destination, but it's built a list that actually respects the cuisine it's serving — and in a casual Italian spot in Bend, that puts it well ahead of the competition. Send a friend here, point them at the Vermentino or the Le Volte, and they'll thank you.

Salute isn't trying to be a wine destination, but it's doing the right things: fair prices, smart Italian anchors, and a couple of genuinely exciting picks hiding in the corners. Send a friend here and tell them to order the Lageder by the glass and ask about the Climens.

BOSA is punching well above its weight class for a Bend neighborhood restaurant — fair prices, a genuinely curious Italian and French list, and a few bottles that would turn heads at a much fancier address. Send your wine-curious friends here without hesitation.

Viaggio is the kind of wine bar that has no business being this good in a ski town, and that's exactly why it earned a Wild Card badge. If you care about what's in your glass, make a stop here before or after dinner — you'll leave with a better bottle than you planned on.

Westside (Galveston Avenue area) · Bend · Italian (Tuscan-focused, handmade pasta)
Trattoria Sbandati is a small Italian restaurant with a small Italian wine list that punches well above its size because someone made real choices instead of filling slots. If you're in Bend and you want to drink actual Tuscan wine with actual Tuscan food, this is your spot.
