Laurel Ridge Winery

Laurel Ridge Winery is a second-generation family estate winery on a 240-acre property east of Carlton, Oregon, in the Yamhill-Carlton AVA of the Willamette Valley. Founder David Teppola established the estate in 1974, choosing the site for its southern exposure years before Oregon's modern wine industry took shape — making Laurel Ridge one of the region's founding vineyards. The estate includes a 5,000-square-foot garden that opens onto vineyard views, making it a natural setting for wedding ceremonies, along with a covered outdoor patio that seats up to 75 guests for a reception. A 2,000-square-foot indoor tasting room offers a furnished, weather-flexible option for gatherings. Private events at the estate have included rehearsal dinners, birthday parties, and anniversary celebrations. Hosts working with a licensed caterer have access to an on-site food preparation area, and the winery provides staff to pour wine during events as well as a network of preferred vendors, including photographers, florists, and bakeries.
