Ribbon Ridge AVA
Penner-Ash Wine Cellars Newberg Chauffeur Guide.
Penner-Ash Wine Cellars at 15771 NE Ribbon Ridge Rd in Newberg occupies the 3,350-acre Ribbon Ridge AVA, the smallest sub-AVA within the Willamette Valley. Lynn Penner-Ash, the former Rex Hill Winery winemaker, founded the estate in 1998 with her husband Ron Penner-Ash. At the top of NE Ribbon Ridge Rd, the west-facing tasting room opens onto a panoramic Coast Range view that anchors the whole visit. The cult-tier reputation grew out of single-vineyard Pinot Noir from the Shea, Bella Vida, and Olenik vineyards. Visits are reservation-only, appointments run 90 to 120 minutes, and tasting flights cost $45 to $95. Marquee handles it with a Volvo S90 or Escalade ESV out of Portland, taking OR-99W and NE Ribbon Ridge Rd up to the visitor lot at the top of the ridge, and the held-vehicle rate covers the wait through the appointment.

01The Ribbon Ridge AVA
3,350 Acres,
Smallest Willamette Sub-AVA.
At 3,350 acres, Ribbon Ridge ranks among the smallest AVAs in the Willamette Valley, set north of Newberg and west of the Dundee Hills. Federal recognition came in 2005, close to when the Dundee Hills earned its own. The soil here is mostly Willakenzie sedimentary loam, a contrast to the red Jory volcanic basalt that defines the Dundee Hills. Inside the boundary you will find roughly 25 bonded wineries.
That cohort takes in Penner-Ash, Beaux Frères, Brick House, Patricia Green, and Whistling Ridge. Because the AVA stays small, most estates work by appointment only, and the tasting rooms feel more intimate than the higher-volume Dundee Hills cohort. The cult-tier reputation of Ribbon Ridge Pinot Noir traces back to that Willakenzie soil expression and the limited production across the AVA. For Dundee context, see the Best Wineries Dundee Oregon listicle. Public reference at pennerash.com.
3,350-acre AVA boundary
The Ribbon Ridge AVA spans 3,350 acres on the ridge between Newberg and Yamhill, sitting north of the Dundee Hills. It is one of the smallest sub-AVAs nested inside the larger Willamette Valley AVA, with compact geography and tasting rooms built to an intimate scale.
Willakenzie sedimentary soil
The dominant soil is Willakenzie sedimentary loam, not the red Jory volcanic basalt of the Dundee Hills. That difference pushes the Pinot Noir toward a darker, more savory black-fruit profile, set against the silky red-fruit character of the Dundee Hills bottlings.
25 bonded wineries
Roughly 25 bonded wineries sit inside the AVA boundary, among them Penner-Ash, Beaux Frères, Brick House, Patricia Green, and Whistling Ridge. Most run appointment-only at a limited production scale.
Newberg postal address
Even though they sit inside the Ribbon Ridge AVA boundary, all of these estates carry Newberg postal addresses. The Allison Inn & Spa in Newberg anchors the lodging for many overnight Ribbon Ridge tour parties.
02The Founder Story
Lynn Penner-Ash
Founded The Estate In 1998.
Lynn Penner-Ash and Ron Penner-Ash founded Penner-Ash Wine Cellars in 1998. Before launching her own estate, Lynn worked as the winemaker at Rex Hill Winery. Over the following years the team grew the Ribbon Ridge property from a small custom-crush operation into a full reservation-only estate by the mid-2000s. Lynn carried her Rex Hill background and a deeper grounding in the Willamette Valley wine industry into the founding of the Ribbon Ridge estate.
At its core the wine program is built on Pinot Noir, drawing from sourced and single-vineyard fruit across the Willamette Valley. Lynn Penner-Ash earned a cult following for the single-vineyard bottlings, each one speaking to a distinct vineyard site. In 2016 the estate moved to Jackson Family Wines ownership and kept its program identity intact. For other founder-cohort Oregon wineries, see the Sokol Blosser chauffeur guide (founded 1971) and the Domaine Drouhin chauffeur guide (founded 1987).
Lynn Penner-Ash background at Rex Hill
Before founding Penner-Ash Wine Cellars in 1998, Lynn Penner-Ash served as the winemaker at Rex Hill Winery. That experience gave her the broader Willamette Valley grounding that went on to shape the Ribbon Ridge estate program.
From custom-crush to full estate
Starting from a small custom-crush operation in the late 1990s, the Penner-Ash team grew the Ribbon Ridge property into a full reservation-only estate by the mid-2000s. It is a growth path that mirrors the rest of the Ribbon Ridge AVA founder cohort.
Single-vineyard cult following
A cult following grew up around Lynn Penner-Ash's single-vineyard bottlings (Shea Vineyard, Bella Vida Vineyard, Olenik Vineyard). Each label captures a distinct vineyard site within the broader Willamette Valley.
Jackson Family Wines ownership 2016
In 2016 the estate moved to Jackson Family Wines ownership while holding onto its program identity. Lynn Penner-Ash stayed on in a winemaking role through the change, and the wine program has carried on consistently since.
03The Wine Program
Single-Vineyard Pinot Noir,
Estate, Viognier, Library.
Pinot Noir drives the Penner-Ash program, sourced from both purchased and single-vineyard fruit across the Willamette Valley. The standard lineup runs in three tiers: Penner-Ash Pinot Noir (entry tier, blended from sourced fruit), Estate Vineyard Pinot Noir (mid-tier, off the Ribbon Ridge estate vineyard), and the single-vineyard cult bottlings (Shea Vineyard, Bella Vida Vineyard, Olenik Vineyard).
On the white side, a Viognier bottling sets Penner-Ash apart from most Oregon estates that stay strictly Pinot Noir. Library bottlings rotate through the tasting program for collectors and trade visitors. For other single-vineyard Oregon programs, see the Stoller Family Estate chauffeur guide (Cathy's Reserve, JV Estate, Helen Estate) and the Domaine Drouhin guide (Laurène, Louise).
Penner-Ash Pinot Noir (entry tier)
$50-$60 per bottle, blended from sourced fruit across the Willamette Valley. It shows a bright red-fruit profile with restrained oak and vineyard-driven character, and it is the introductory bottle for first-time Penner-Ash visitors.
Estate Vineyard Pinot Noir
$60-$80 per bottle, drawn from the Ribbon Ridge estate vineyard at 15771 NE Ribbon Ridge Rd. The Willakenzie sedimentary soil reads through as darker fruit and a savory profile that sets it apart from the Dundee Hills bottlings.
Single-vineyard bottlings
Shea Vineyard, Bella Vida Vineyard, and Olenik Vineyard run $80-$150+ per bottle. Each label captures a distinct vineyard site across the Willamette Valley, and together they form the cult-tier program for Pinot collectors.
Viognier and library
A Viognier bottling sets Penner-Ash apart from most Oregon estates that stay Pinot Noir-focused. Library bottlings rotate through the tasting program for collectors and trade visitors, with the aged-vintage program available on advance request.
04The Tasting Program
$45 To $95 Standard,
Reservation-Only Cult Tier.
The standard Penner-Ash tasting program runs $45 to $95 per flight, depending on the tier you choose. The Estate Flight covers the Pinot Noir core (Penner-Ash Pinot Noir, Estate Vineyard) alongside the Viognier. Step up to the Single-Vineyard Flight and the cult-tier single-vineyard bottlings (Shea, Bella Vida, Olenik) join on rotating pour. The Library Flight layers in aged-vintage bottlings on advance request.
Every tasting is reservation-only, booked to 15-minute precision arrival windows. Across the morning and afternoon, the estate opens about 20 to 30 reservation slots a day. Running smaller than the Dundee Hills cohort keeps the tasting room intimate. For booking the chauffeur, see the Dundee wine tours service page.
Estate Flight ($45-$60)
Penner-Ash Pinot Noir, Estate Vineyard Pinot Noir, and the Viognier, poured across a standard 90-minute appointment at the bar or the panoramic-view tables. It is the introductory pattern for first-time visitors.
Single-Vineyard Flight ($75-$95)
This flight brings in Shea Vineyard, Bella Vida, and Olenik on rotating pour across a 90-to-120 minute appointment. It is the collector-tier option for Pinot Noir deep-dive visitors and Willamette Valley single-vineyard comparison palates.
Library Flight ($95+)
Aged-vintage Pinot Noir verticals pour on rotating release, and advance request is required. It is the deepest collector-tier flight, aimed at visitors building Penner-Ash verticals back to the early 2000s.
Reservation precision
Tastings are reservation-only, set to 15-minute precision arrival windows. The estate opens about 20 to 30 reservation slots a day across morning and afternoon, a smaller scale than the Dundee Hills cohort.
05The Drive Route
Portland To Newberg,
OR-99W And NE Ribbon Ridge Rd.
From Portland to Newberg the drive covers 30 miles in 50 minutes at midday, heading south on OR-99W through Tigard to Newberg, then climbing NE Ribbon Ridge Rd up the ridge to the property. Because the Ribbon Ridge AVA sits north of Newberg rather than west toward Dundee, this route reads differently from the standard Dundee Hills drive. The chauffeur drops at the visitor lot at the top of the ridge, 50 yards from the tasting room entrance.
On Friday afternoons, traffic through Tigard and the Newberg stretch of OR-99W can add 15 to 25 minutes against the eastbound flow, while Saturday morning runs cleanly through 10 a.m. During the appointment the chauffeur clears to a quiet shoulder on Ribbon Ridge Rd or stages at a holding point at the Allison Inn, 8 minutes east on Allison Ln. The held-vehicle hourly rate covers that wait. For Newberg coordination, see the Newberg town car service page.
OR-99W Portland to Newberg
30 miles in 50 minutes at midday, heading south on OR-99W through Tigard to Newberg. Friday afternoon adds 15 to 25 minutes, while Saturday morning runs clean through 10 a.m.
NE Ribbon Ridge Rd
Off OR-99W in Newberg, NE Ribbon Ridge Rd climbs the ridge for 4 miles to the Penner-Ash property. All three Marquee fleet vehicles handle the road, though the Sprinter takes a slightly slower approach.
Visitor lot drop with view
The chauffeur drops at the visitor lot at the top of the ridge, leaving a 50-yard walk to the tasting room with the panoramic Coast Range view straight ahead. The lot holds about 40 self-park vehicles.
Holding point at Allison Inn
During the appointment the chauffeur clears to a holding point at the Allison Inn, 8 minutes east on Allison Ln. The held-vehicle rate covers the wait there.
06The Manifest
Volvo S90 For Couples,
Escalade For Family, Sprinter For 8-14.
Fleet choice scales with the size of the party. The Volvo S90 at $110 per hour suits a couples or 2-to-3 person tour day on the 5-hour booking at $550 with the 20 percent service fee included. For a family group of 4 to 6, the Cadillac Escalade ESV at $135 per hour pairs Penner-Ash with 1 to 2 other Ribbon Ridge or Dundee Hills estates on a 6-to-7 hour tour day at $810 to $945 with the service fee included. The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter at $165 per hour carries 8 to 14 and lands at $1,155 on the 7-hour day.
Group bookings of 8 or more at Penner-Ash stay limited next to the larger Dundee Hills estates, simply because the tasting room is smaller. For pricing detail, see the Portland chauffeur pricing guide 2026. For Newberg group coordination, see the Newberg limo service.
| Vehicle | Hourly | Typical booking | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Volvo S90 | $110 / hr | 5-hour day, $550 | Couple or 2-3 |
| Cadillac Escalade ESV | $135 / hr | 6-to-7 hour day, $810 to $945 | Family of 4-6 |
| Mercedes-Benz Sprinter | $165 / hr | 7-hour day, $1,155 | Group of 8-14 |
The 20 percent service fee is already included. Held-vehicle rate covers the wait. Marquee holds Portland private-for-hire permitting (since 2018) and $1 million commercial liability.
Volvo S90 ($110 per hour)
Built for a couples or 2-to-3 person tour day. The 5-hour booking takes in the Portland pickup, the 50-minute drive, the 90-to-120 minute appointment, and the same-day return, at $550 with the service fee included.
Cadillac Escalade ESV ($135 per hour)
Seats a family group of 4 to 6 across three rows, with cargo room for case purchases. The standard 6-to-7 hour tour day pairs Penner-Ash with 1 or 2 adjacent estates, at $810 to $945 with the service fee included.
Mercedes-Benz Sprinter ($165 per hour)
Carries a multi-couple group of 8 to 14 in captain's chair seating. The 7-hour day runs $1,155 with the service fee included, and group bookings need 3 to 4 weeks ahead for the smaller Penner-Ash tasting room.
Held-vehicle hourly rate
The held-vehicle rate covers wait time at the visitor lot or the Allison Inn holding lot through the 90-to-120 minute appointment, with the same chauffeur from pickup to drop.
07Pairing With Other Estates
Beaux Frères, Brick House,
Patricia Green, Cross-AVA Dundee.
On most Ribbon Ridge tour days, Penner-Ash gets paired with one or two adjacent estates inside the 3,350-acre AVA. Beaux Frères at 15155 NE North Valley Rd is the appointment-only Robert Parker-anchored estate. Brick House at 18200 NE Lewis Rogers Ln runs the biodynamic certified program. Patricia Green at 15225 NE North Valley Rd is the cult-tier estate run by the late Patty Green's team.
Other tour days take a cross-AVA route, pairing Penner-Ash with one or two Dundee Hills estates. The drive between the AVAs runs 12 to 15 minutes on local roads. A common cross-AVA pairing opens with a morning at Penner-Ash, moves to lunch at the Allison Inn's Jory Restaurant, and closes with an afternoon at Stoller Family Estate or Sokol Blosser. For full Dundee context, see the Best Wineries Dundee Oregon listicle and individual Dundee posts.
Beaux Frères
15155 NE North Valley Rd, 10 minutes from Penner-Ash. This appointment-only, Robert Parker-anchored Pinot Noir estate built its cult-tier reputation through late-1990s and early-2000s wine-publication scoring.
Brick House Vineyards
18200 NE Lewis Rogers Ln, 12 minutes from Penner-Ash. A biodynamic-certified estate focused on terroir-driven Pinot Noir, with that certification setting Brick House apart from most of its Ribbon Ridge peers.
Patricia Green
15225 NE North Valley Rd, 10 minutes from Penner-Ash. This cult-tier estate, run by the late Patty Green's team, pours a single-vineyard Pinot Noir program at limited production scale, with a devoted following.
Cross-AVA with Dundee Hills
A 12-to-15 minute drive separates the AVAs, so a single tour day can pair Penner-Ash with Stoller, Sokol Blosser, or Domaine Drouhin for the Willakenzie versus Jory soil contrast.
08Newberg Coordination
Allison Inn 8 Minutes East,
Jory Restaurant Pairing.
Penner-Ash sits inside the Ribbon Ridge AVA yet carries a Newberg postal address. Eight minutes east, the Allison Inn & Spa at 2525 Allison Ln in Newberg anchors the lodging for many overnight Penner-Ash visits. The Jory Restaurant at the Allison Inn folds lunch or dinner into the morning or afternoon tasting.
For Newberg coordination, Marquee dispatches the Penner-Ash visit through the same chauffeur operation that runs the Dundee Hills pattern. For Newberg-specific service pages, see the Newberg town car service and the Newberg limo service pages. The two-day pattern runs Penner-Ash plus Beaux Frères on Day 1 and the Dundee Hills on Day 2, with the chauffeur held across both days at the Allison Inn block.
Allison Inn 8 minutes east
85 rooms, the Jory Restaurant, and a full spa at 2525 Allison Ln, Newberg, 8 minutes east of Penner-Ash. This flagship wine country resort runs the Marquee held-vehicle pattern across the two-day stay.
Jory Restaurant lunch or dinner
On the Penner-Ash tour day, the Jory Restaurant at the Allison Inn handles lunch (12-to-1:30 p.m.) or dinner (6-to-9 p.m.). The held-vehicle rate covers the meal wait curbside.
Newberg town car coordination
Marquee Newberg town car service runs the executive sedan pattern across the Allison Inn block and the Penner-Ash visit, with Net-30 corporate billing on the standard W-9 line item.
Newberg limo service for groups
Marquee Newberg limo service runs the Sprinter pattern for groups of 8 to 14 across the Penner-Ash and Beaux Frères tour day, with the held-vehicle rate covering the multi-stop wait.
09Lead Time
Couples 1-2 Weeks,
Groups 3-4 Weeks.
Because the program is reservation-only, same-week availability runs tighter at Penner-Ash than at the walk-in friendly Dundee Hills estates. Couples on the Volvo S90 should hold 1 to 2 weeks ahead, and Friday and Saturday peak windows fill 2 to 3 weeks ahead. Group bookings of 8 or more go 3 to 4 weeks ahead through the Penner-Ash events team. For a multi-estate tour day pairing Penner-Ash with adjacent Ribbon Ridge or cross-AVA Dundee Hills estates, book 2 to 3 weeks ahead.
Call dispatch at (503) 706-8662 with the tasting reservation confirmation and pickup address. Dispatch confirms the route, the wait pattern, and the same-named chauffeur for the visit day. For booking the chauffeur, see book Portland chauffeur service.
Couples 1-2 weeks
Volvo S90 couples bookings should hold 1 to 2 weeks ahead. Penner-Ash being reservation-only tightens the lead time next to the walk-in friendly Dundee Hills estates.
Weekend peak 2-3 weeks
Friday and Saturday peak windows fill 2 to 3 weeks ahead, and the 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. arrival windows sell out first. Sunday afternoon holds slightly later than Friday or Saturday.
Groups 3-4 weeks
Group bookings of 8 to 12 need 3 to 4 weeks of lead time through the Penner-Ash events team. The smaller tasting room caps group capacity below the larger Dundee Hills estates.
Multi-AVA coordination
Multi-AVA tour days that pair Penner-Ash with Beaux Frères, Brick House, or cross-AVA Dundee Hills estates book 2 to 3 weeks ahead. Dispatch sequences the appointments across all the estates.
10Who It Fits
Pinot Collectors,
Cross-AVA Visitors, View Seekers.
Four primary profiles fit a Penner-Ash visit. Pinot Noir collectors building verticals of the single-vineyard bottlings (Shea, Bella Vida, Olenik) across vintages. Cross-AVA visitors curious about the Willakenzie soil contrast against the Dundee Hills Jory volcanic basalt. View seekers drawn to the panoramic Coast Range view at the top of NE Ribbon Ridge Rd. And anniversary or milestone couples after the focused reservation-only visit pattern.
One thing this is not built for is a casual walk-in tasting day. Penner-Ash takes reservations only, with no walk-in capacity, and the estate leans into a focused appointment pace rather than the volume of a walk-in tasting room. The Marquee chauffeur math works best when the booking covers a serious Pinot Noir visit at the cult-tier Ribbon Ridge end of the Willamette Valley program.
Pinot Noir collectors
For collectors building verticals of the single-vineyard bottlings (Shea, Bella Vida, Olenik) across vintages, the Single-Vineyard Flight at $75-$95 anchors the visit.
Cross-AVA visitors
For visitors curious about the Willakenzie sedimentary soil set against the Dundee Hills red Jory volcanic basalt, a cross-AVA tasting day pairs Penner-Ash with Stoller or Sokol Blosser for the soil-expression comparison.
View seekers
For visitors drawn to the panoramic Coast Range view at the top of NE Ribbon Ridge Rd, sunset visits during summer afternoon windows pair the dramatic late-light view with the cult-tier Pinot Noir program.
Anniversary couples
For anniversary, birthday, or milestone couples on the focused reservation-only visit pattern, the Volvo S90 at $110 per hour fits the 5-hour booking with the Estate or Single-Vineyard Flight. The intimate Ribbon Ridge tasting room sets the visit apart from the busier Dundee Hills estates, making it a good fit for a quieter couples afternoon with the Coast Range view as backdrop.
“I spent six hours touring the Columbia River Gorge with the owner of this service, and I was really impressed with his professionalism, attentiveness, and local knowledge.”
Frequently Asked
Questions, Answered.
Where is Penner-Ash Wine Cellars and how does the chauffeur reach it?
Penner-Ash Wine Cellars is at 15771 NE Ribbon Ridge Rd, Newberg OR 97132, inside the Ribbon Ridge AVA. The estate sits 30 miles southwest of downtown Portland and a 50-minute drive at midday via OR-99W south through Tigard to Newberg, then NE Ribbon Ridge Rd up the ridge to the property. The Ribbon Ridge AVA is distinct from the Dundee Hills AVA and sits north of Newberg rather than west toward Dundee. The chauffeur drops at the visitor lot at the top of the ridge, 50 yards from the tasting room entrance with the panoramic Coast Range view behind it. Pickup at the same lot on the host's text after the appointment.
What is the Ribbon Ridge AVA?
Ribbon Ridge is one of the smallest AVAs in the Willamette Valley at 3,350 acres, sitting north of Newberg and west of the Dundee Hills. The AVA earned federal recognition in 2005, around the same time as Dundee Hills. Soil composition is primarily Willakenzie sedimentary loam rather than the red Jory volcanic basalt of the Dundee Hills. The smaller AVA holds about 25 bonded wineries inside the boundary, including Penner-Ash, Beaux Frères, Brick House, Patricia Green, and Whistling Ridge. Most Ribbon Ridge estates are appointment-only because the smaller scale of the AVA keeps the tasting rooms more intimate than the higher-volume Dundee Hills cohort.
What is the history of Penner-Ash Wine Cellars?
Penner-Ash Wine Cellars was founded in 1998 by Lynn Penner-Ash and Ron Penner-Ash. Lynn was the winemaker at Rex Hill Winery before founding her own estate. The Penner-Ash team built the Ribbon Ridge property out from a small custom-crush operation to a full reservation-only estate by the mid-2000s. The wine program focuses on Pinot Noir from sourced and single-vineyard fruit across the Willamette Valley. Lynn Penner-Ash has built a cult following for the single-vineyard bottlings, with each label expressing a distinct vineyard site within the broader Willamette Valley. The estate transitioned to Jackson Family Wines ownership in 2016 while retaining the program identity.
What does a Penner-Ash tasting flight cost?
The standard Penner-Ash tasting program runs $45 to $95 per flight depending on the tier. The Estate Flight covers the Pinot Noir core (Penner-Ash Pinot Noir, Estate Vineyard) plus the Viognier. The Single-Vineyard Flight adds the cult-tier single-vineyard bottlings (Shea Vineyard, Bella Vida Vineyard, Olenik Vineyard) on rotating pour. The Library Flight adds aged-vintage bottlings on advance request. All tastings are reservation-only with 15-minute precision arrival windows. Bottle purchases off the visit run $50 to $90 for the standard Pinot Noir and $80 to $150+ for the single-vineyard bottlings.
How does the panoramic Coast Range view shape the visit?
The Penner-Ash tasting room sits at the top of NE Ribbon Ridge Rd with a panoramic west-facing view across the Willamette Valley to the Coast Range. The view is the visual anchor of the visit, with floor-to-ceiling windows facing the ridge horizon. Sunset visits are particularly dramatic during summer afternoon windows when the late light catches the Coast Range silhouette. The tasting room and the outdoor patio both face the view. The Marquee chauffeur drop at the visitor lot puts the panorama in front of the visitor as they walk to the entrance. Most photography from the visit centers on the view rather than the building.
How does the chauffeur drop pattern work at Penner-Ash?
The chauffeur drops at the visitor lot at the top of NE Ribbon Ridge Rd, 50 yards from the tasting room entrance. The visitor walks the short stretch to the entry. Self-park visitors use the same lot, which holds about 40 vehicles. The chauffeur clears to a quiet shoulder on Ribbon Ridge Rd or stages at a holding point at the Allison Inn 8 minutes east on Allison Ln. Pickup at the same lot on the host's text after the 90-to-120 minute appointment. The held-vehicle hourly rate covers the wait. The Volvo S90 and Escalade ESV handle the Ribbon Ridge Rd road; the Sprinter requires a slightly slower approach but clears the access.
Which other Ribbon Ridge wineries pair with Penner-Ash?
Most Ribbon Ridge tour days pair Penner-Ash with one or two of the adjacent estates inside the 3,350-acre AVA. Beaux Frères at 15155 NE North Valley Rd (10 minutes from Penner-Ash) is the appointment-only Robert Parker-anchored estate. Brick House at 18200 NE Lewis Rogers Ln runs the biodynamic certified program. Patricia Green at 15225 NE North Valley Rd is the cult-tier estate run by the late Patty Green's team. Whistling Ridge runs the boutique end of the AVA. Marquee dispatch confirms the appointment-only estates 2 to 3 weeks ahead and routes the multi-stop pattern across the smaller AVA on a single chauffeur.
Can I pair Penner-Ash with a Dundee Hills tour day?
Yes. Some chauffeur tour days pair Penner-Ash with one or two Dundee Hills estates on a cross-AVA visit pattern. The drive from the Ribbon Ridge AVA to the Dundee Hills AVA runs 12 to 15 minutes via the local roads. Common pairing: morning at Penner-Ash (10:30 a.m. or 11 a.m.), lunch at the Allison Inn's Jory Restaurant in Newberg, afternoon at Stoller Family Estate or Sokol Blosser in the Dundee Hills (2 p.m.), close back at the Newberg hotel block (5 p.m.). The full-day pattern fits inside a 7-hour Escalade ESV booking at $945 with the 20 percent service fee included. For Dundee context, see the chauffeur posts on Stoller, Sokol Blosser, and Domaine Drouhin.
Does Penner-Ash handle group bookings?
Yes. The tasting room handles 8 to 12 guests on advance group reservation. The events team curates a custom flight selection on the single-vineyard program and accommodates group preferences (Pinot Noir focus, single-vineyard vertical, library aged-vintage). The Marquee Sprinter at $165 per hour fits the 8-to-14 group on the Penner-Ash visit plus 1 to 2 other Ribbon Ridge or Dundee Hills estates inside a 7-hour tour day. Group reservations book 3 to 4 weeks ahead. Summer harvest season and December holiday windows tighter than spring shoulder. The smaller tasting room limits group capacity compared to the larger Dundee Hills estates.
How does Newberg coordination work with Penner-Ash?
Penner-Ash is in the Ribbon Ridge AVA but uses a Newberg postal address. The Allison Inn & Spa at 2525 Allison Ln in Newberg is 8 minutes east and serves as the lodging anchor for many overnight Penner-Ash visits. The Jory Restaurant at the Allison Inn pairs lunch or dinner with the morning or afternoon tasting. Marquee runs Newberg coordination across the Penner-Ash visit through the same chauffeur dispatch as the Dundee Hills pattern. For Newberg-specific service pages, see the Newberg town car service and the Newberg limo service pages. For booking, see /book-portland-chauffeur-service or /dundee-wine-tours.
