Ponzi Historic Estate

Ponzi Vineyards sits in the Laurelwood District of Oregon's Willamette Valley, where founders Dick and Nancy Ponzi planted their first vines in 1968 as early pioneers of the region's wine industry. The estate's gravity-flow winery, built into a mountainside in 2008, was designed to move wine through production without pumping, and the family's handwritten logo still anchors the brand today. For private events, the estate offers The Laurelwood and The Lawn, accommodating 12 to 250 guests indoors, outdoors, or both, against vineyard and valley views. The Founders Room, the main indoor dining space, seats up to 50 guests beneath a coved wood ceiling styled after the inside of a wine barrel, with a fireplace and state-of-the-art AV. The adjoining Founders Terrace hosts up to 24 for seated alfresco gatherings, while The Lawn opens onto sweeping vineyard and valley views for weddings, fundraisers, and large private gatherings of up to 250. Every reservation includes inclusive event coordination, in-house catering, wine-savvy service staff, and amenities such as bus parking, A/V capabilities, WiFi, EV charging, a surround sound system, bocce ball courts, and outdoor fire pits.
