The tasting room hosts live music featuring local and regional artists all year long at the Chemeketa Eola campus. All music events are free and open to all ages. You can find the full schedule on our website and read the details of each individual performance under "Events" on our Facebook page.

• SEATING: Seating on the patio or lawn is on a first-come, first-served basis. If you have a group of 8 or more, we may be able to reserve a larger table for you if you call ahead: 503-584-7256.
• LAWN CONCERTS: You are welcome to bring chairs or blankets. At this time, we do not have a limit on the height of the chair. The lawn area is fairly small and you will have a good view from any area. NOTE: The event building and patio are ADA-compliant. However, there is a short gravelled path down to the lawn so please be aware if you have mobility issues.

• PARKING: There are 135 parking spots available at the Chemeketa Eola campus, including 6 disabled parking spots.
