The tasting room opens onto a generous patio and sweeping lawns bordered by a spring-fed lake, with views across the valley toward the coastal range — a setting the winery also uses for weddings and special events. Guests can settle in for a seated tasting flight of Eola Hills' Barrel Select Reserve, Sparkling, and Dessert wines, taken either in the tasting room or out on the patio. In warmer months, the property's self-guided "Wiking" trails let visitors combine wine with a hike through the vineyard hillsides before returning to the tasting room to pick up a bottle. Beyond tastings, Legacy Estate hosts weddings, fundraiser galas, corporate conferences, and private dinners, with an event manager who tailors the space — lawn, lake, and valley views included — to each occasion.

At the center of the property is a 4,200-square-foot indoor event center, climate-controlled and opened up by 20-foot barn doors that frame views of the surrounding gardens.

Saffron Fields Vineyard is an estate winery on a former dairy and grass seed farm in Yamhill, Oregon's Willamette Valley, planted by owners Angela Summers and Sanjeev Lahoti starting in 2007. The hospitality center opened in 2013 and was designed by architect Richard Shugar with 2Form Architecture, using expansive glass, natural wood, and reclaimed lumber from a historic dairy barn to blur the line between indoors and outdoors. The estate is anchored by Japanese gardens designed by Hoichi Kurisu, former director of the Portland Japanese Garden, including a Lily Pond and a Koi Pond connected by cascading waterfalls. The tasting room opens through massive retractable windows onto these gardens and the surrounding vineyard, and doubles as a gallery for contemporary art from the owners' collection. Event spaces include the Tasting Room, the Zen Garden Room, the Jewel Box, and an Outdoor Patio with a fire pit, each offering different vantage points onto the vineyard, ponds, and gardens. Saffron Fields' events team, led by an on-site events coordinator, works with hosts to customize the space for private gatherings.

For weddings, rehearsal dinners, and private events, the course's open-air pavilion overlooks the driving range and can be enclosed with sidewalls that roll up or down depending on the weather, adapting from a breezy summer gathering space to a warm, all-season banquet room.
