Bonanza at Balanza

We stayed at the Balanza Vineyards Guest House in March 2025 and had an outstanding visit. Kerry and Chaly were wonderful hosts for a weekend visit to Willamette Valley. The Guest House was perfect for three couples to explore Oregon's wine country!

Our hosts overachieved in every aspect of our stay -- from the luxury accommodations and the amazing wine, to the 5-star breakfasts and the vistas! We had very high expectations and we were blown away at how far our hosts raised the bar even higher. We will surely be back!!

A Delightful Stay at Balanza Vineyard Guest House

Our stay at the Balanza Vineyard Guest House in Willamette Valley, Oregon, was exceptional. The house offers charming nooks both indoors and outdoors, perfect for getting away. Each bedroom was clean and well-furnished, maintaining consistent comfort throughout. The owners' hospitality was remarkable. Always available for questions, their homemade breakfasts were a daily highlight. Their winemaking skills matched their hosting abilities – Balanza wines are great. Located in the heart of the Dundee wine region, the guest house is ideal for exploring numerous vineyards, tasting room and towns. ## Highlights - Prime location in Dundee wine region - Spacious house with cozy relaxation spots - Clean, well-appointed bedrooms - Attentive owners - Outstanding breakfasts - On-site wine vineyard ## Considerations 1. Shared Property: Owners live upstairs. Privacy is respected, but occasional encounters possible. 2. Noise Levels: Some noise from upstairs (where the owners live) and the kitchen is audible, particularly in the east bedroom and middle bedroom. The owners are considerate about minimizing disturbances, but light sleepers might notice occasional sounds. 3. Agricultural Setting: Being on an active vineyard means wildlife and insects (notably yellow jackets) are present. Despite these minor points, our experience was overwhelmingly positive. We highly recommend Balanza Vineyard Guest House to anyone exploring Willamette Valley and would gladly return.

Unbelievable Experience - Great Wine and Awesome Food

Phenomenal place to stay in the heart of wine country. The hosts are extremely nice and go out of their way to make your stay memorable. The included breakfast was one of the highlights of every day for all of us. Very tasty. Their wine is delicious and if you stay be sure to pick up a few bottles and joint their club. We are definitely coming back as this place has it all even for those in our party who did not drink.

Unwind in wine country!

It's hard to know where to start with this review as there are so many highlights to call out. From the magical location perched above the vineyards and the valley to our gracious hosts Kerry and Charlie to the amazing food and wine on offer, Balanza does not disappoint. What makes this property so unique is that ideally located between every place you want to visit across the region while also being somewhere you want to just sit back, open a bottle of pinot, and enjoy the many spaces around the home to unwind. We will be back for sure.

Home away from home

We came up to the region for a Labor Day weekend wedding. While searching for places to stay we came across Balanza Vineyard, which had great reviews and seemed accommodating for our group. What we didn’t know is we were getting a vacation in itself. The house is a phenomenal treat for any group and the hosts make you feel like family from the moment you walk in. We arrived to an abundance of wine and cheese with stunning views. We woke up to incredible sunrises with hot air balloons in the distance, followed by a delicious homemade breakfast each AM. Our hosts helped us sort plans for the day and give us direction on what best to do with our limited time in the region. They were spot on with our group. We loved the house and our hosts and will for sure return.

The views from the deck and gourmet breakfast were a 10!

My friend was celebrating his 40th birthday in the Willamette valley and we couldn't have found a more perfect property with Kerry and Chaley! They are the best hosts and so talented with their cooking and wine! The rooms were clean and modern with french doors that open to the deck with incredible views of the valley. The beds were comfortable and it was so quiet at night. We had the best sleep. The food was "Julia Child" quality...it was the best breakfast! We will definitely be back and often...

Overall excellent experience

I don’t normally do reviews but the experience was so great I just wanted to share. The location is great as it is in the heart of the wineries. The house had a beautiful view & was very clean. Lots of room and areas for us to gather as a family. Let me not forget the delicious breakfast we had every morning. Our hosts were very informative of the area & shared their knowledge of wine. We had a wonderful experience and will be back.

Five Stars Is Not Enough!

Words like "wonderful", "amazing", or "remarkable" are the only ones need to describe this property and these hosts. Kerry and Chaly have created one of the most beautiful experiences for guests--from welcoming us with a bottle of their own wine to serving wonderful breakfasts that are even better than the stunning views. The Guesthouse is what you imagine one should be: beautiful rooms, private decks, and a cozy, bright gathering spaces and dining areas. No detail has been forgotten! Absolutely stunning! But the "sixth star" in this rating is the hosts. Kerry and Chaly welcome you like family, make you feel that you are "home", and then make your time with them something that you will do exactly what I am doing now, telling my closest friends and family that we have already rebooked for another stay!

Oregon Getaway

Our stay at Balanza Vineyard far exceeded our expectations. Kerry and Chaly are wonderful hosts who immediately made us feel most welcomed and right at home. Their passion for good food, good wine, and their beautiful land is palpable. The house is spectacular with space for relaxing inside and out and features well appointed rooms that overlook the breathtaking valley at every angle. Hot air balloons over the horizon and a delicious breakfast every morning helped jump start our days. No detail has been overlooked! There is no question we would return for another visit to the Dundee Hills for more time spent in this lush valley.

The magic of Italy at Balanza Vineyard

6 longtime friends stayed in the guest house at Balanza Vineyard in August 2021. A heavenly place developed and designed by Kerry and Chaly for guests to enjoy a perfectly magical experience without having to leave the USA. Every detail in the guest house was carefully chosen to make our time there 5 star (while safe from the fear of co-vid). The squeak on the wine glasses was enough to know that Kerry made sure everything was sanitized and clean for us. So many places to sit with our party and enjoy the views, the wine, the most fabulous breakfast ever. We were invited to design the morning breakfast to each individual liking and need. In the evenings, we were allowed to use the kitchen for our personal cooking. Walking through the vineyards and around Dundee allowed us to stay in touch organically with privacy among our special group of 6. No details need to be mentioned here because this lovely couple have thoughtfully taken care of everything your heart could desire. You will love it as we did and already have plans to return in 2022. We are very grateful and feel that Balanza Vineyard is a gift from heaven.

About the host

Hosted by Kerry Balanza

Host profile image
On our second visit to Oregon we bought "the farm" - a small farm in the Dundee Hills accented by Jory soil, a south-east facing slope, and stunning views of the valley. We never before imagined leaving our home in Texas, yet now we could see ourselves "retiring" someday to join the growing community of wine growers focused on pinot noir. We both fell in love quickly, and after planting our first vineyard in 2014 we realized that our hearts and future were fully rooted in Oregon.

Taking a leap of faith, we purchased a neighboring vineyard site and embarked on building our family home with private guest suites for friends both old and new. We love sharing the peaceful nature of Oregon wine country, the inspiring vistas of the Dundee Hills and the day-to-day operation of a small vineyard. We hope you make our home yours when visiting the Oregon wine country.

Why they chose this property

We were rambling down Archery Summit Road after an afternoon of tasting at some of our the most beautiful vineyards in the Dundee Hills - when we stumbled upon a small old farm. It was only days before a dream of owning our own small vineyard in Oregon became a reality. Both the land and wine community captured our hearts and now here we are.

What makes this property unique

Our property has 280 degree views of beautiful Dundee Hills vineyards. We enjoy an unobstructed view of the Cascade range from Mt Hood to Mt Jefferson on the east side (perfect for sunrise) and a rolling view of vineyards to the west which set off the sunsets perfectly. We have constructed our guest house, guest rooms and deck to enable our guest to enjoy these spectacular views.

We are also licensed as a winery and happy to share and make available our small batch, locally grown and crafted wines. Please contact for information about adding a private tasting or to arrange a welcome bottle for your stay. We do on occasion host private wine club member pick-up appointments in our BBQ barn or on our kitchen deck. Wine club guests do not have access to the main guest spaces in our guest house.
