Small meetings, intimate lunches, corporate retreats and private dinners for up to 15 guests can be organized at Sokol Blosser Winery, a family estate in the Dundee Hills near Dayton, Oregon, in the Willamette Valley. The winery has private rooms for small groups, a tasting room designed by Allied Works and a culinary team, and its events team can also bring wine service to a venue of your choice.
Seminars and company events
Sokol Blosser presents its estate for offsite meetings and corporate retreats with vineyard views. Private rooms are available for small meetings or lunches, and the team builds a tailored program that can combine team-building activities with lunches and dinners prepared on site. Groups attending a conference elsewhere in the valley can book a winery excursion as a break from the sessions. Customized tasting experiences are offered for groups, and the estate runs hikes and vineyard tours that work well for a team half day. For larger company events held elsewhere, the winery travels: its team pours wine at holiday parties and company gatherings, runs guided tastings for groups of up to 50 at another venue, and operates the Evolution Mobile Wine Bar, a custom-built trailer serving Sokol Blosser and Evolution wines.
Weddings and receptions
The winery's event spaces are available for weddings, but only as a benefit for members of its Cellar Club. Couples who are not members can still book the off-site services, such as wine pouring at their own wedding venue or the mobile wine bar. On site, celebrations such as anniversaries or milestone dinners are handled as private events.
Catering
Food is prepared by the winery's own culinary team. Its Chef's Table, called Farm and Forage, is a seasonal tasting menu built on produce from the vineyard and farm, and private dinners on the estate seat up to 15 guests. Wine-paired dinners and cooking sessions in the public calendar show the range of the kitchen.
History and setting
Susan Sokol Blosser and Bill Blosser planted their first vines in the Dundee Hills in 1971. The winery was completed in 1977 and opened the first tasting room in Oregon in 1978. The current tasting room, designed by Allied Works, opened on July 1, 2013. The underground barrel cellar received LEED certification in 2002, the estate vineyard has been certified organic since 2005, and the company has been a certified B Corporation since 2015. The second generation now runs the house, with Alex Sokol Blosser as president since 2023, and the family makes wine under two labels, Sokol Blosser and Evolution.
Getting there
The winery is at 5000 NE Sokol Blosser Lane in Dayton, Oregon. From March to October it is open daily from 10 am to 4 pm, and from November to February from Thursday to Monday at the same hours, so private events are best planned with the events team well ahead.
