  Set on Oregon's northern coast near Seaside, the Gearhart Hotel occupies a site with roots going back to 1890, when the original hotel drew wealthy Portlanders to the coast. After fire destroyed two earlier structures, the third hotel opened in 1923 and operated until 1972; today's property combines rooms in that historic building with a 2018 cedar-shingled annex, its king and queen rooms decorated with McMenamins artwork and Pacific Northwest coastal style. The hotel sits on the historic Gearhart Golf Links, one of the oldest courses west of the Mississippi, and looks out toward the Pacific Ocean. Couples and event hosts can choose a beach ceremony just steps away, or say their vows on a sweeping lawn overlooking the golf course's first hole. Indoors, the Chautauqua Room offers a cozy, classic setting with green coffered ceilings, while the larger Livingstone's Room provides space for dinner and dancing, opening onto a covered patio. Food and drink are handled in-house, with McMenamins' own ales, wines, and spirits alongside full catering that accommodates dietary needs. The 34-room hotel, multiple bars, fire pit, and adjacent golf course make it well suited to weddings, corporate retreats, and reunions alike, and the property is pet-friendly.

  Sunshine Mill Artisan Plaza and Winery occupies a former wheat mill in The Dalles, Oregon, that operated for more than 130 years before its conversion into a winery campus. The mill was the first building in The Dalles to have electricity, and its original Thomas Edison motor is still on display inside. It also holds a notable architectural distinction as the only designated skyscraper in the Columbia River Gorge. The Sunshine Biscuit Company once owned the property, and wheat milled there was used in Cheez-It crackers. Owners James and Molli Martin transformed the historic campus into a dual-winery destination, home to Quenett Winery, founded in 2002, and Copa Di Vino, which joined the property in 2009. Today the campus combines a tasting room, an outdoor amphitheater, the Boiler House Bar, and several private event spaces within the preserved mill structure. For weddings, the venue offers the full Mill Building and its outdoor grounds, accommodating up to 80 guests for indoor ceremonies and up to 120 for receptions, with in-house catering and customizable menus.

  Maysara Winery

  15765 SW Muddy Valley Rd, McMinnville, OR 97128, USA

  • Spaces for 299 Guests

  Maysara Winery sits on the Momtazi Estate in the Coast Range foothills south of McMinnville, Oregon, on 532 acres of former wheat farmland that Moe and Flora Momtazi purchased on April 1, 1997. The estate's warmer days and cooler nights, with less precipitation during harvest, give the property its distinct terroir, and vines are trained to yield just 1.75-2.25 tons per acre for concentrated fruit. The winery is female-made and biodynamic, grown and crafted in harmony with the land it farms. Rather than chemical inputs, the estate relies on a holistic approach to soil health, growing medicinal and dynamic flowers and herbs that are turned into compost teas — a reflection of the belief that 90% of winemaking takes place in the vineyard. Maysara is home to one of the largest indoor and outdoor venues in Oregon's Willamette Valley wine country, a stone and wood structure with a rustically sophisticated feel set among the vines. The space hosts weddings, corporate events, and private occasions ranging from intimate to grand, with a parking lot accommodating up to 125 vehicles and furnishings including barstools, glass and wine barrel tables, indoor 60" rounds, fruitwood folding chairs, and Edison string lights.
