Dundee Hills AVA
Domaine Serene Wine Tours.
A chauffeured Domaine Serene day from Portland or the Allison Inn lands you at the Evenstad estate on NE Hilltop Lane, on the hillcrest above the Ste Michelle vineyard block. Your driver knows the 99W traffic-calming stretch through Dundee, the climb up Worden Hill Road, and the arrival loop below the Clubhouse stairs. The terrace looks east toward Mt Jefferson, and Chef Cameron Brooks runs the Cafe Bar wine-pairing without you having to chase directions.

Quick answer: Domaine Serene sits at 6555 NE Hilltop Lane in Dayton on the Dundee Hills AVA hillcrest. Ken and Grace Evenstad founded the estate in 1989 — a Wine Spectator Grand Award winner, 2013 World's Best Pinot Noir producer, farming five vineyards (Evenstad Estate, Mark Bradford, Winery Hill, Jerusalem Hill, Cote Sud). The Clubhouse tasting runs 75 to 90 minutes with Mt Jefferson views; the Cafe Bar wine-pairing by Chef Cameron Brooks adds another 60 to 90 minutes. Chateau Evenstad on the same property handles luxury wedding weekends. Portland is 45 to 55 minutes away via 99W through Dundee.
01Domaine Serene & Dundee Hills
Evenstad Estate With The Clubhouse View
And Chateau Evenstad Weddings.
Ken and Grace Evenstad founded Domaine Serene in 1989 on a ridge in the Dundee Hills AVA, and the estate has since picked up a Wine Spectator Grand Award and the 2013 World's Best Pinot Noir honor. Five vineyards feed the program across the hills: Evenstad Estate, Mark Bradford, Winery Hill, Jerusalem Hill, and Cote Sud. The Clubhouse sits on the hillcrest above the Ste Michelle vineyard, and the terrace looks east across the Willamette Valley floor toward Mt Jefferson on a clear day.
The Evenstad Reserve Pinot Noir is the flagship bottling, and the Clubhouse tasting at 6555 NE Hilltop Lane in Dayton, Oregon is where most guests meet it. The Cafe Bar extends the visit with a wine-pairing menu by Chef Cameron Brooks on the terrace overlooking the valley. Chateau Evenstad on the same property runs as a luxury wedding venue — ceremony and reception terraces, overnight suites, and full estate buy-out for the weekend. Domaine Serene anchors a multi-stop day across the wineries in Dundee Oregon, with chauffeur drop-off at the arrival loop below the Clubhouse stairs rather than the lower service road, so the walk to the tasting host is short.
Evenstad estate vineyards
Five estate vineyards across the Dundee Hills feed the Clubhouse flight. Evenstad Estate is the home vineyard on the Clubhouse ridge and the source for the flagship Evenstad Reserve Pinot Noir. Mark Bradford sits on a south-facing slope with a distinct volcanic soil signature. Winery Hill runs next to the production building with early-ripening clones. Jerusalem Hill carries the Cote Sud block in the Eola-Amity Hills on a warmer exposure, and that block pushes the lineup beyond the core Dundee Hills profile most guests expect from a Clubhouse pour.
Clubhouse terrace with Mt Jefferson view
The Clubhouse at 6555 NE Hilltop Lane sits on the hillcrest above the Ste Michelle vineyard block. The terrace looks east across the Willamette Valley floor toward Mt Jefferson in the Cascade Range on a clear afternoon. A tasting flight built around the Evenstad Reserve Pinot Noir runs 75 to 90 minutes at the bar or out on the terrace seating. Your chauffeur waits at the arrival loop below the stairs on the hourly rate for the full tasting, so no one feels pressure to rush the last pour.
Chateau Evenstad wedding venue
Chateau Evenstad is the luxury wedding venue on the Domaine Serene property — ceremony terrace, reception hall, overnight guest suites, and full estate buy-out across the weekend. Wedding planners coordinate bridal-party transport from the Allison Inn or a downtown Portland hotel block, plus Sprinter shuttles between the ceremony and reception zones and late-night return runs after the last pour. The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter runs at $165 per hour for the 14-passenger shuttle loop with a dispatch coordinator on the day.
02Service Standard
Vetted Chauffeurs, 35-Point Inspection,
And Oregon PUC Licensing.
Four operator standards separate Marquee from rideshare and out-of-state vans on a Domaine Serene day. Every chauffeur is on payroll, not a 1099 contractor. Every vehicle clears a 35-point inspection before the first booking of the day. Marquee has held Oregon Public Utility Commission licensing on file with the state since 2018. The Volvo S90, Cadillac Escalade ESV, and Mercedes-Benz Sprinter each carry $1 million in commercial liability coverage on every Dundee Hills run.
Chauffeurs on the Marquee payroll
Every driver sits on the Marquee payroll as a vetted chauffeur rather than a 1099 gig contractor. Payroll runs through the company, workers' comp covers on-duty work, and the $1 million commercial liability policy extends to every Domaine Serene booking. The employment relationship means the driver answers to Marquee leadership for conduct, punctuality, and Clubhouse arrival protocol — not a gig app that surges prices at shift change on a Saturday tasting afternoon in the Dundee Hills.
Pre-dispatch 35-point check
Every Marquee vehicle clears a pre-dispatch 35-point check before the first Domaine Serene booking of the day. The checklist covers tire pressure, brake response, fluid levels, seatbelt function, climate controls, cabin cleanliness, and interior detail. Tire chains ride in the trunk from November through March for the Worden Hill Road climb and the NE Hilltop Lane approach during winter storms. A monthly detail keeps the cabin clean for guests sensitive to scent on a tasting-heavy afternoon between the Clubhouse and the Cafe Bar pairing.
Volvo S90 and Escalade fleet with Sprinter
The Volvo S90 runs at $110 per hour with a two-hour minimum for couples and executive bookings to Domaine Serene. The Cadillac Escalade ESV carries up to 6 at $135 per hour for family Clubhouse visits and small-group Cafe Bar pairings. The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter handles up to 14 at $165 per hour for corporate tasting blocks, Chateau Evenstad wedding-weekend shuttles, and multi-estate Dundee Hills loops that fold in Domaine Drouhin or Archery Summit on the same day out of Portland.
Oregon PUC number since 2018
Marquee has carried an Oregon Public Utility Commission number since 2018 as a for-hire passenger carrier, with continuous renewal and clean compliance records. Corporate travel managers onboarding Marquee for executive wine-tour retreats to Domaine Serene get the PUC certificate, the W-9, and the $1 million insurance documentation within an hour of the first booking. Chateau Evenstad wedding planners receive the same documentation packet for venue vendor-credential files when the Sprinter reservation locks for the weekend.
03Tour Day Arc
Clubhouse Arrival, Cafe Bar Pairing,
Chateau Wedding, And Return.
A Domaine Serene tour day runs through four phases that hold whether you're booking a couples tasting, a corporate retreat, or a Chateau Evenstad wedding weekend. The Clubhouse arrival on NE Hilltop Lane lands you at the terrace bar with the Mt Jefferson view. The Cafe Bar wine-pairing with Chef Cameron Brooks anchors the midday meal on the outdoor terrace. Chateau Evenstad wedding transport covers ceremony and reception shuttle duty on the event side of the property. The return run to Portland or the Allison Inn finishes the day on the hourly rate with the same chauffeur who opened the morning. Multi-estate days often pair Domaine Serene with Domaine Drouhin or Sokol Blosser on the same Dundee Hills ridge — see the full Oregon wine-tour itinerary for sibling estate options.
Clubhouse arrival on NE Hilltop Lane
The Clubhouse arrival on NE Hilltop Lane lands you at the terrace door of the Domaine Serene tasting room on the hillcrest above the Ste Michelle vineyard block. Your chauffeur pulls into the arrival loop below the stairs rather than the lower service road, so you step out of the Volvo S90 at the tasting host station without climbing the hillside. A 10:30 or 11:00 arrival lets you settle in at the Clubhouse bar before the Saturday rush fills the terrace seats. The Evenstad Reserve Pinot Noir anchors the flight, and the tasting host tailors the lineup to your group based on the booking note.
Cafe Bar wine-pairing with Chef Cameron Brooks
The Cafe Bar wine-pairing by Chef Cameron Brooks extends the Clubhouse visit with a 60 to 90 minute seated meal on the terrace overlooking the Willamette Valley floor. Pairing flights match the Domaine Serene Chardonnay and Evenstad Reserve Pinot Noir releases to seasonal courses sourced from Oregon producers. The Volvo S90 holds at the arrival loop on the hourly rate for the full pairing. Groups of 6 in the Escalade ESV or 14 in the Sprinter should book the pairing block in advance so the kitchen can staff the terrace service for the larger party.
Domaine Serene Wine Lounge in Lake Oswego
The domaine serene lake oswego address — formally the Domaine Serene Wine Lounge — is the in-town counterpart to the Dundee Hills Clubhouse, on the Lake Oswego waterfront at 28 N State St for guests who can't give a full day to the 99W drive. Plenty of domaine serene portland visitors taste the Evenstad Reserve Pinot Noir here first and decide afterward whether to book the longer hillcrest visit. The Lounge runs its own reservation book: seated flights, cheese and charcuterie pairings, wine by the glass. That puts it on a short list of wineries lake oswego options, distinct from the rest of the lake oswego wine bar scene. Marquee runs a Portland-area shuttle to the Lounge on the standard hourly rate, with the option to keep going up to the Clubhouse the same day if a flight at the bar makes you want the full estate visit. From downtown Portland, the domaine serene wine lounge is 25 minutes away. The hillcrest estate at 6555 NE Hilltop Lane is another 45 minutes west.
Chateau Evenstad wedding transport
Chateau Evenstad wedding transport covers the full event on the Domaine Serene property. The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter at $165 per hour runs ceremony-to-reception shuttle loops for the guest list. Bridal-party Escalade ESV pickups stage at the Allison Inn of Newberg or the downtown Portland hotel block for the morning arrival at the ceremony terrace. After the last pour, late-night return runs move the guest list back to the lodging block on a coordinated shuttle pattern rather than scattered rideshare requests trying to leave the Dundee Hills past midnight.
Return to Portland or the Allison Inn
The return run from Domaine Serene lands you at a downtown Portland hotel or the Allison Inn of Newberg on the same hourly booking that opened the morning. Your chauffeur routes back through Dundee on Highway 99W and watches ODOT TripCheck for Sunday afternoon backups in the Dundee traffic-calming corridor. If you want a quick stop at Dundee Bistro or Red Hills Market on the way home, the chauffeur pulls in without restarting the meter on an ad-hoc rideshare from the winery.
04Booking Your Ride
Reservation, Chauffeur Match,
FlightAware, 24/7 Dispatch.
Booking Domaine Serene wine-tour transport runs through a four-step process that holds across every reservation. Dispatch confirms the pickup address, the Clubhouse arrival window, and the tasting reservation time on the first call. The chauffeur match assigns a vetted driver to the Volvo S90, Escalade ESV, or Sprinter based on passenger count and event profile. FlightAware integration pulls live PDX data into the dispatch system for guests arriving the day of the tasting. The 24/7 line at (503) 706-8662 stays open for same-day adjustments and Chateau Evenstad wedding-weekend coordination out of the Dundee Hills.
Confirmation via email and SMS
Call (503) 706-8662 or book online any hour of the day. Dispatch confirms the Portland pickup address, the Domaine Serene tasting reservation time on NE Hilltop Lane, the passenger count, and the vehicle preference on the first exchange. Confirmation goes out by email and SMS within 10 minutes with the chauffeur name, the vehicle, and a contact number for day-of coordination. Changes up to 2 hours before the pickup window move at no charge. Clubhouse tasting times can shift on the day, so dispatch holds a flexible buffer on Dundee Hills bookings.
Driver-vehicle selection
Dispatch handles driver-vehicle selection for the Domaine Serene booking based on event profile. Couples tasting bookings lock a driver familiar with the NE Hilltop Lane arrival loop and the Clubhouse stair positioning. Corporate retreats match a chauffeur comfortable with the Cafe Bar pairing timing and the post-tasting debrief window. Chateau Evenstad wedding weekends pair a Sprinter driver with a dispatch coordinator on the day for the ceremony and reception shuttle pattern. Recurring wine-country clients keep the same driver across the engagement when the schedule allows.
FlightAware-based airport pickups
FlightAware feeds live PDX arrival data into Marquee dispatch so guests flying in for a Domaine Serene tasting or a Chateau Evenstad wedding land with the chauffeur already at Door 5. A 25-minute early arrival pulls the Volvo S90 to the baggage claim curb before the guest steps out of the terminal. A weather-delayed flight holds the chauffeur at the PDX Cell Phone Lot without the meter running on the wait. The tasting reservation start at the Clubhouse absorbs the flight variance without a missed slot on the NE Hilltop Lane arrival loop.
24/7 dispatcher, not a call-center bot
The Marquee line at (503) 706-8662 reaches a 24/7 dispatcher, not a call-center bot. Same-day wine-tour requests route through based on fleet availability. Late-night Chateau Evenstad wedding return runs reach a live dispatcher rather than a chat queue. Corporate retreats coordinated from out-of-state travel desks book across time zones without waiting for a business-hour window. Allison Inn weekend guests who push Sunday brunch past the original return window pick the same chauffeur back up for the later Portland run on a single dispatch call.
