01Estate & Dundee Hills
400-Acre Estate, LEED Gold Tasting Room,
And The Stoller Legacy.
Stoller occupies 400 acres on the south-facing slope of the Dundee Hills AVA, with about 200 of those acres under vine. It is the largest contiguous vineyard inside the Dundee Hills boundary, planted on the volcanic Jory soil that defines the appellation. Bill Stoller broke ground in 1995 on the same Dayton land his father had farmed as a turkey operation since 1943. The first estate Pinot Noir was released in 2005. The tasting room at the top of the property was the first LEED Gold certified winery in the world, and the terrace looks out over the entire vineyard toward the Willamette.
One thing worth noting up front: a Stoller day from Portland or PDX pulls into the estate entrance on McDougall, not a parking lot off a commercial winery row. The Volvo S90 at $110 per hour (two-hour minimum) is the right car for a couple on a standard tasting. The Cadillac Escalade ESV at $135 per hour holds up to 6 — usually a family or wine-club visit. The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter at $165 per hour takes up to 14 for a corporate offsite, a pre-wedding tasting day, or a bachelor or bachelorette group running Stoller alongside Domaine Serene and Argyle on the same hourly rate. The broader picture is on the chauffeured Oregon wine country page if you want sibling Dundee Hills options.
From turkey farm to 400-acre vineyard
The land first showed up on the map in 1943 as Bill Stoller's father's turkey farm. Bill took over in the 1990s and planted the first Pinot Noir blocks on the south-facing Dundee Hills slope in 1995. About 200 of the 400 acres are now planted; the rest is oak savanna, wildlife buffer, and estate infrastructure. The result is the largest contiguous vineyard inside the Dundee Hills AVA, on a continuous south aspect of Jory volcanic soil that runs from the ridge down toward the Willamette valley floor.
LEED Gold tasting room terrace
When the tasting room opened, it was the first LEED Gold certified winery in the world. Passive solar design, a reclaimed-water system, and photovoltaic panels on the production roof. The terrace faces due south across the planted 200 acres down toward the Willamette. Seating runs on the terrace from April through October and moves inside the glass-walled room in winter. We aim to drop the party at the entrance circle about 10 minutes before the reservation, so you clear the host desk before the first pour.
Stoller Winery: the Bill Stoller Pinot Noir line
Stoller Winery — branded on label as Stoller Family Estate — released its first estate vintage in 2005 after Bill planted the first Pinot Noir blocks in 1995 and waited a decade for the vines to mature. Chardonnay and Pinot Gris came online from the same parcel. The family still owns and runs the winery, with day-to-day leadership working out of the LEED Gold building at the top of the property. We treat a visit as a single-estate deep dive on the Dundee Hills Pinot program — not a tasting-room chain stop.
02Service Standard
Vetted Chauffeurs, 35-Point Inspection,
And City Permitting.
Four things separate Marquee from rideshare and out-of-state operators running into the Dundee Hills. Our chauffeurs are on payroll, not 1099 contractors. Every vehicle clears a 35-point inspection before the first booking of the day. Our Portland private-for-hire permit has been on file with the city since 2018. And the Volvo S90, Escalade ESV, and Sprinter each ride on a $1 million commercial liability policy — every trip into the McDougall estate entrance, no exceptions.
Full-time vetted chauffeurs
Every wine-country chauffeur on our roster is a full-time employee, not a 1099 gig driver. Payroll runs through the company, workers' comp covers on-duty work, and the $1 million commercial liability policy extends to every run. Practically, that means the driver answers to Marquee leadership for tasting-room punctuality, the McDougall Rd approach, and guest handling at the entrance circle. There is no surge pricing on harvest weekends — the rate you book is the rate you pay.
Daily 35-point safety walk
Every vehicle clears a 35-point safety walk before its first tour of the day. Tire pressure, brake response, fluid levels, cabin cleanliness, seatbelt function, climate controls, interior detail. Chilled water rides in the rear cabin for the 40-minute PDX run and the return leg. Monthly deep cleans keep the interior right — important on a wine-country day, where a stray pour on a transfer can otherwise leave a stain that lingers for the next reservation.
Volvo, Escalade, Sprinter
Three vehicles cover the Dundee Hills work. The Volvo S90 is $110 per hour (two-hour minimum) for a couple or a solo tasting at the estate. The Escalade ESV is $135 per hour for up to 6 — a family wine day or a small wine-club visit. The Sprinter is $165 per hour for up to 14 — a bridal-party tasting before the barn ceremony, a corporate offsite out of downtown Portland, or a bachelor or bachelorette group looping the estate with Domaine Serene and Argyle on the same hourly rate.
City-permitted in Portland since 2018
Marquee has held a Portland private-for-hire permit as a for-hire passenger carrier since opening day in 2018, with continuous renewal and clean compliance records. Corporate travel managers booking a Dundee Hills offsite, or wedding planners coordinating a Stoller barn event, receive the city permit, W-9, and $1 million insurance documentation within an hour of the first booking. The Stoller events desk gets a printed insurance copy on request for the vendor file on barn ceremony and reception bookings.
03Tour Day Experience
Tasting Terrace, Barrel Room,
Wedding Barn, And Return.
The day follows a predictable arc — McDougall entrance, tasting program, drop-off back in Portland or at PDX. The tasting terrace and the LEED Gold room handle the core flight on the south-facing overlook. A barrel room visit pairs with the reserve experience on weekends for groups going deeper on the program. The 3,600 sqft wedding barn is its own animal, running ceremony and reception bookings on a separate track from the public tasting. Heading home, the route swings back through Dundee or Newberg for lunch or one more stop before the final drop.
Estate tasting terrace flight
The terrace faces due south across the planted 200 acres, with the Willamette River plain spread out below. The standard flight pours Pinot Noir vintages alongside the estate Chardonnay and Pinot Gris. Seating typically holds for 75 to 90 minutes, depending on group size. Your driver drops at the entrance circle about 10 minutes before the window and stages in the estate lot during the flight, instead of circling the McDougall Rd approach.
Barrel room and reserve
The barrel room visit pairs with the reserve tasting on weekends, and for wine-club members coming back through. Seating runs longer than the terrace flight — usually 90 minutes to two hours — and includes library vintages going back toward the 2005 first-release cohort. The hourly rate holds across the full reserve session, no per-stop add-on, which keeps the day open-ended instead of capped to a standard tasting window.
Stoller wedding barn
The Stoller Wedding Venue is a 3,600 sqft barn with ceremony and reception capacity on the estate grounds, separate from the public tasting terrace. We run guest shuttle loops in the Sprinter between Newberg, Dundee, and McMinnville hotel blocks and the McDougall barn entrance. The Escalade ESV handles bridal arrival to the ceremony space. End-of-night returns stay on the same hourly rate from reception cutoff back to each lodging address — no late-night surge.
Dundee lunch and return leg
Heading back, the route swings through Dundee proper on 99W, or pushes a few minutes farther into Newberg if you want a wider restaurant pool. Dundee Bistro, Red Hills Market, and the Dundee tasting-room core are 10 to 15 minutes from the Stoller exit. Newberg adds about 10 minutes more. The hourly rate holds across the lunch window and the return drive — no per-stop add-on stacked on top of the 99W mileage.
04Booking Your Tour
Reservation, Chauffeur Match,
FlightAware, 24/7 Dispatch.
Booking is four steps. Dispatch confirms your Stoller tasting time, your Portland or PDX pickup address, and the passenger count on the first call. The chauffeur match assigns a vetted driver to the Volvo S90, Escalade ESV, or Sprinter based on group size and service profile. FlightAware integration pulls live PDX arrival data into the dispatch system for fly-in tasting days. And the 24/7 line at (503) 706-8662 stays open for harvest-season schedule shifts and late-night wedding-barn return runs.
Confirmation email plus day-before text
Call (503) 706-8662 or book online at any hour. A confirmation email goes out within 10 minutes; a day-before text follows to the booker. Dispatch nails down the Stoller tasting time, the Portland or PDX pickup address, the date, the passenger count, and the vehicle preference on the first exchange. The confirmation carries the chauffeur name, the vehicle, and the cell number for day-of coordination. Harvest-season weekends between mid-September and late October book out 2 to 3 weeks ahead — Dundee Hills tasting rooms hit capacity on that window.
Named chauffeur assignment
Dispatch assigns a named driver based on the group profile, then locks that name to the tasting day. Couples and solo tastings draw the Volvo S90, with a driver who knows the McDougall Rd approach and the LEED Gold entrance circle. Family and wine-club groups up to 6 ride the Escalade ESV. Wedding-party tasting blocks, corporate offsites, and bachelor or bachelorette groups up to 14 take the Sprinter. Wine-club regulars on the Stoller list keep the same driver across seasonal pickup dates whenever the schedule allows.
Real-time PDX arrival monitoring
FlightAware feeds live wheels-down data into Marquee dispatch, so a fly-in Stoller pickup adjusts to actual landing time, not the scheduled one. A 25-minute early arrival pulls the chauffeur to the numbered pick-up location before baggage claim opens, which protects the tasting window. A weather-delayed flight holds the driver at the PDX Cell Phone Lot without the meter running on the wait. The integration takes the guesswork out of the 40-minute leg up the 99W corridor into the Dundee Hills.
Overnight dispatch coverage
The Marquee line at (503) 706-8662 is open at any hour. Same-day harvest-season tasting requests route through based on fleet availability out of the Portland staging lot. Late-night wedding-barn returns from McDougall reach a live dispatcher, not a chatbox. Couples building the broader Portland wedding transportation plan can fold the Stoller barn piece into the run sheet from the same intake call. Winter storm delays on 99W get rebalanced in real time. Corporate offsite coordinators can reach us for last-minute passenger-count changes ahead of a Dundee Hills tasting day.

Frequently Asked
Questions, Answered.
How much does a Stoller Family Estate wine tour cost?
Stoller Family Estate tours book on the hourly rate — the Volvo S90 at $110/hr, the Cadillac Escalade ESV at $135/hr, or the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter at $165/hr for groups up to 14 — with the round trip from Portland absorbed into the booking. The tour is quoted before booking, with no surge pricing.
Where is Stoller Family Estate located?
Stoller is at 16161 NE McDougall Rd in Dayton, Oregon, on the south slope of the Dundee Hills AVA above the Willamette River plain. The estate covers 400 acres with about 200 planted to vine, which makes it the largest contiguous vineyard inside the Dundee Hills boundary. Drive time is roughly 40 minutes from PDX via OR-99W, and about 20 minutes from downtown Portland through Newberg on the same highway.
What is Stoller Family Estate known for?
Dundee Hills Pinot Noir is the headline. The first estate vintage was bottled in 2005, with Chardonnay and Pinot Gris coming off the same 400-acre parcel. The tasting room at the top of the property was the first LEED Gold certified winery in the world, and the terrace looks across the entire vineyard toward the Willamette. A separate 3,600 sqft wedding barn handles ceremony and reception bookings on its own track.
Who founded Stoller Family Estate?
Bill Stoller founded the winery in 1995 on the Dayton land his father had been farming as a turkey operation since 1943. The first Pinot Noir blocks went into the south-facing Dundee Hills slope in the mid-1990s, and the first estate vintage was released in 2005. The family still owns and runs the operation out of the LEED Gold tasting room on McDougall.
How far is Stoller Family Estate from Portland and PDX?
About 40 minutes from PDX, about 20 minutes from downtown Portland. From PDX the route is I-205 south to OR-99W through Tigard, Sherwood, and Newberg into Dayton. Downtown pickups join 99W at the Tigard transition and finish on the same Newberg-to-Dayton stretch. Your chauffeur checks ODOT TripCheck before pulling out and adjusts the pickup window for harvest-season 99W congestion between mid-September and late October.
Can you arrange a Dundee Hills wine tour with Stoller as the anchor stop?
Most of our Dundee Hills days are built that way. Stoller pairs naturally with Domaine Serene, Argyle in Dundee proper, or Sokol Blosser on the next ridge. The driver builds the day around your Stoller reservation time, handles the narrow McDougall Rd approach, and keeps the group moving so a lunch stop in Dundee or Newberg fits between tastings. The hourly rate holds across the full day, and there is no per-stop charge stacked on top.
What vehicles are available for a Stoller wine tour?
The Volvo S90 is $110 per hour with a two-hour minimum for couples or a solo tasting. The Cadillac Escalade ESV holds up to 6 passengers at $135 per hour, which is the usual pick for a family group or small wine-club visit. The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter takes up to 14 passengers at $165 per hour for a wedding-party tasting day, a Portland corporate offsite, or a bachelor or bachelorette group running from PDX hotels out to the estate.
Can you handle transport for a Stoller wedding?
We do this often. The Stoller Wedding Venue is a 3,600 sqft barn with ceremony and reception capacity on the estate grounds, separate from the public tasting terrace. We run guest shuttle loops in the Sprinter between Newberg, Dundee, and McMinnville hotel blocks and the McDougall barn entrance. The Escalade ESV handles bridal arrival to the ceremony space. End-of-night returns stay on the hourly rate from reception cutoff back to each lodging address.
Does Stoller require a tasting reservation?
Both the standard tasting terrace and the reserve experiences are reservation-only. We confirm your exact seating time with dispatch at booking, so the Volvo, Escalade, or Sprinter rolls into the entrance circle about 10 minutes before the window. Late arrivals lose the table to the next party on the wait list, which is why the driver builds in a harvest-season buffer on 99W between Newberg and Dayton.
What does the LEED Gold tasting room look like on arrival?
The tasting room sits at the top of the 400-acre property. Glass-fronted hospitality space, outdoor terrace facing south across the vineyard toward the Willamette River. The LEED Gold building uses local wood, natural light, and on-site water management. Your driver drops the party at the terrace stairs in the entrance circle, then stages the vehicle in the visitor lot below the building until the tasting wraps.
How does a Stoller-to-Domaine Serene same-day pairing route?
Out of the Stoller exit, the driver heads south off McDougall onto Worden Hill Road into the upper Dundee Hills, and pulls up to Domaine Serene's Clubhouse about 15 minutes later. A lunch reservation in Dundee at Red Hills Market or Recipe slots in between the two flights. Both tasting rooms are reservation-only, so dispatch coordinates the arrival timing at each estate ahead of the day. A typical pairing runs 5 to 6 hours round-trip from Portland on the Escalade ESV.
