Tasting Room & Patio Rentals

The tasting room and patio are available for private rental outside of tasting room hours (currently W-F 4-9 pm and Sat-Sun 12-4 pm). Private events utilizing the tasting room and patio spaces can begin at 5 pm on Saturdays and Sundays, after staff have had time to clean the tasting room and prepare for the event. If you are also renting a meeting room space, you can access the meeting room space earlier in the day for set-up and decorating and the tasting room for set-up and decorating starting at 4 pm. Please see the venue rental packet for more information. 

NEW FOR 2025: The tasting room will be closing the week December 14-21 in order to make more dates available for holiday gatherings. If you would like to book a holiday party at Chemeketa Eola that week, you will not need to work around tasting room hours and can book any date and time that week, as long as it is not already booked by another user. Please email eolaevents@chemeketa.edu to inquire about availability.

Payment Policy

Full payment is due no later than three weeks prior to your event. You can pay via credit card online or pay by check. (If you are scheduling your event with less than three weeks' lead time, you can work with the venue on an alternate payment timeline.)

Cancellation Policy

Your event may be cancelled without penalty three weeks prior to the event. Cancellation within three weeks will require a payment of 50% of the total rental price (or a 50% refund if you have already paid.)

​Special Event Liability Insurance

Chemeketa Community College requires that groups obtain special event liability insurance coverage for their meeting or event. This can be obtained through a personal or corporate insurance company or online from websites like www.specialeventinsurance.com or www.eventsured.com. Clients also take advantage of PACE's TULIP insurance program, which provides lower-cost special event insurance for groups using college facilities. Go to www.gatherguard.com, click "Get a Quote", select your event type, answer the three questions (usually "no"), and search for "Chemeketa Eola" as the venue. The basic coverage offered will satisfy Chemeketa's requirements. (Note: Liquor coverage is automatically included for the Chemeketa Eola , so there is no need to add additional liquor coverage if your event includes alcohol service.) Note: State agencies can obtain a policy from their Risk Management department. 

Questions regarding insurance can be directed to chanita.parker@chemeketa.edu.
