Extras
There are a great many options for occupying any free time at the vineyard. Meeting attendees can use a break in the action to attend a public tasting; those take place throughout the day on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. Árdíri also arranges private tastings and tours of the property for meeting groups looking to dig deeper into the roots of the vineyard and sample Árdíri’s exceptional pinot noir and white wine blends.
During the cooler months, groups tend to gather around the fire pits during breaks with a glass of wine; but when it warms up, the staff sets up a movie screen and projector for movie nights in the vineyard.
D’Vines
Although the venue may be quietly tucked into the Oregon countryside, it’s not shy on amenities. The property is handicapped accessible; welcoming to dogs, bicycles and limos; and offers facilities for picnics, along with free Wi-Fi throughout. Its main amenity, though, is the homegrown wine.
Árdíri’s unique meter-by-meter Burgundian vineyards generate a limited harvest of gravity-fed estate wines produced and bottled on-site. The winery offers award-winning pinot noirs from its Willamette Valley Estate in addition to vintages from a five-acre vineyard in the Carneros region of Napa Valley. Along with its array of pinots, it also boasts the fabulous Pink Tractor rosé, the buttery Amante chardonnay, a delicate pinot gris/pinot blanc blend and a blend of pinot noir from both estates named Due Stati, which is Italian for “two states.”
