I would give a better review as the owners are usually pretty friendly. Â There is one who is always right on and ready to help. Â The other guy makes me feel like I am an inconvenience, so I haven't been there in some time. Â I attempted to special order a specific wine and was told we'll call you when it gets in. Â I went in about 3 weeks after that and they had no idea what I was talking about. Â I went in again and asked about ordering it and was told "it'll be here next Friday, we always order from that vendor". Â I went in a few days after that Friday and was told it was never ordered. Â Needless to say I attempted 3 times too many to order one specific type of wine and haven't been back since. Â New Seasons one block over is good for that!!!! Â It isn't a bad neighborhood spot to go drink wine and hang out. Â Just don't special order from them and you'll be just fine!!! Â I'll go back.....at some point.
Review Source:When it comes to wine selection, you've gotta have someone you trust. Over the years, I've come to sincerely trust Mike's (Renaissance owner) palate, without fail. Anything on their shelf is trustworthy, and he and his staff's feedback and input is unpretentious and genuine. The tastings on Friday night are always poppin', and the wine flights throughout the week are always worth a spin. This is a landmark wine source in the Portland metro area.
Review Source:Really??? I just wanted to let you guys know I live right down the street and you guys must be doing that awesome at your spot that you can afford not to greet a customer when they walk in the door... Really???  I walked in this afternoon around 3:30 while both owners (I assume) were behind the bar making small talk. I walked around for at least 7 or 8 minutes before walking out, NOT once did either of you acknowledge me not one word. The body language alone made me feel very uncomfortable and unwelcomed, like I was intruding. All I wanted was a glass of wine so I could do some work on my computer. Don't worry you won't ever have to make me feel that way again. I WON"T BE BACK!  So If your looking for arrogance and pretentiousness then this is the spot for you.and if your looking for just a bottle of wine then I recommend  New Season it's right next door and has alot more choices and better prices and they will be glad to have you as a customer.
Review Source:Renaissance is one of my favorite places to spend an afternoon in Hillsboro. It's the perfect place for you to enjoy a glass of wine and have a nice cigar. They have white/red flights or you can purchase a bottle of wine to try. The staff is very knowledgeable and will recommend something that'll fit your tastes and budget. If wine isn't your thing, they also have a selection of beer and sparkling wine/champagne. If you prefer a little snack with your wine, they also sell crackers, cheese and cured meat plates. If you want more food, you're allowed to go to New Seasons across the street and bring back some snacks to go with your wine. I've also seen waitresses from Yuki's (also across the street) deliver sushi to customers here! The staff here is so accommodating and nice, not pretentious at all.
On Fridays starting at 5pm, they have wine tastings that feature a certain region or winery. It's a great opportunity to broaden your horizon and try an upwards of 6 different wines for only 7 dollars. If you fall in love with a particular wine, you can purchase a bottle. The wines they feature during these tasting events are very affordable and usually range from 10 to 50 dollars a bottle.
I'm not an expert in wine or cigars but if you ever need your questions to be answered or you would like to find a rare, expensive bottle of wine, I recommend this place.
What's nice about Renaissance is that they offer wine-tasting flights for $8 for Reds (3 glasses). I'm not quite sure how much it would be for Whites. And you can also get a flight mixture of the Reds & Whites. Along with your wine tasting they also offer some snacks. Unfortunately they ran out of some of their items so I recommend going to New Seasons nearby and grabbing a couple snacks to pair with your wine as you hang out and savor the moment.
I like how Renaissance represents many selections from local Oregon wineries to other countries from Italy, France and Australia to name a few. They have cabinets full of different types of cigars (flavored to regular ones) and items to use for cigar smoking.
Overall, I would definitely be back to Renaissance to enjoy a glass or a bottle with my gals!
A great little shop located in the Orenco station area. There is beer in the fridge, cigars on the wall and of course wine on both walls. There is a lot i can say but I'll get right to the point on why i like this place.
The guy who was helping me seemed to share similar ideas with me on wine. Am i the authority on wine? of course not but it's nice to know that the person behind the counter doesn't believe that the most expensive wine is the best choice or even best tasting wine.
The other great things, they have Shaffer Merlot and silver oak cab, two wines that i do enjoy and i don't see often. What they don't carry they are willing to try to find for you. Â Looking for wine? when i am, I'm going here!
This precious gem has never failed me and is  one of my favorite stops for a great bottle of wine with lovely selections from Oregon to France.  I have gone here a couple times and found the perfect wine for what I needed.  The first time I visited, the woman who helped me recommended a great, medium-priced Chardonnay that I ended up loving.  I was on my way to the gym so they offered to chill it while I was gone and have it ready to go when I could swing back by to pick it up.  The second time I came back with my honey-lamb I was immediately greeted with a smile by the same woman who helped me before.  I really need to remember her name because she hit the nail on the head with her next recommendation of a great Pinto Noir by Six Vineyards.  They also have a selection of cigars which I have not yet ventured into, as I don't have much experience with them.
The complete lack of pretentiousness is another reason I love going to this shop. Â I am dressed pretty casually whenever I go and it's never a problem. Â They are always having great little social events and tastings for a small fee ($7-$10 or so), which I've been meaning to attend. Â It is tucked away behind a Starbucks at Orenco Station, you should check it out if you're in the area.
