ENSO Urban Winery + Tasting Lounge is an independent urban winery in Portland's Buckman neighborhood, hand-crafting small-batch, old-world-style wines on site since it opened over Memorial Day weekend in 2011. Winemaker Ryan Sharp sources grapes from Alder Ridge in Washington's Horse Heaven Hills and Wheatland in Oregon's Willamette Valley, and every bottle is hand-made, hand-bottled, and poured only at the winery itself. Private events take place in the Barrel Room, a roughly 1,300-square-foot space lined with French oak barrels and reached through a garage door that opens to the street, or across the whole property when the Tasting Lounge and Barrel Room are booked together. Both configurations include tables, chairs, glassware, a staffed wine bar, a sound system with microphone, and a projector with screen, making the space suited to receptions, rehearsal dinners, and milestone celebrations with music and dancing until 11 pm.
