“The holiday season is such a special time of year, and we love creating opportunities for guests to slow down, gather with loved ones and enjoy the beauty of the vineyard in a festive setting,” said Angela Summers, owner and founder of Saffron Fields Vineyard. “We look forward to welcoming families and friends to experience the magic of the season, explore our Japanese Garden illuminated with holiday lights and enjoy a little hot chocolate and s’mores along the way.”
Located in Oregon’s Yamhill-Carlton AVA in the northern Willamette Valley, Saffron Fields Vineyard is a boutique, independently owned estate winery known for its limited-production Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, crafted by acclaimed winemaker Tony Rynders. Beyond its wines, the 89-acre property offers a distinctive wine country experience, featuring a contemporary art collection, striking architecture and a five-acre Japanese Garden with koi ponds, waterfalls and winding pathways. Guests can enjoy curated wine tastings, guided garden and art tours, and seasonal events that bring together wine, art, nature and hospitality.
Beginning Friday, Nov. 27, Holiday Vintner Lights & S’mores will take place on six select dates throughout the holiday season: Nov. 27-29 and Dec. 5, 12 and 19. From 3 to 6 p.m., guests are invited to explore the vineyard grounds and enjoy colorful holiday lights illuminating the property, including its five-acre Japanese Garden, designed by renowned landscape artist Hoichi Kurisu, who also helped design Portland Japanese Garden. The display will feature a programmable light face show, with constantly changing sequences that create an evolving experience throughout the evening.
Each RSVP includes house-made spiced apple cider, hot chocolate and access to a make-your-own s’mores station, where guests can gather around the fire pit and enjoy a classic holiday treat. Wine will also be available for purchase by the glass or bottle.
