Youngberg Hill Reviews

My husband and I visited Youngberg for the first time in Summer 2022 and we immediately fell in love with this winery. We chose to have an intimate, elopement wedding at Youngberg Hill in June 2024. All I can say is… wow! We had such a beautiful experience and every single member of the staff and coordinators were just incredible and accommodating, from start to finish. You all made our dreams come true! A huge thank you to Lori. The location, facilities and services are always five star! We couldn’t be happier. The wine, the scenery and hospitality are always a winner in our books! Thank you all so much.

I got married at Youngberg Hill last weekend and I am still trying to find the words to describe it. For starters – the views are just breathtaking. The property itself is up on a hill, away from anything else, which makes it peaceful and serene. It’s like a little piece of heaven. Youngberg Hill was the first venue we looked at and nothing else we found compared to what Youngberg had to offer in terms of the views, the wine, the Inn onsite, and of course the staff. We fell in love with Molly on our first visit; after touring the venue we stopped in for a wine tasting. She was so sweet, and knowledgeable about the wines that if we hadn’t already been sold on the venue, she would have sold us on it! Every time we have gone back to visit, or just pop in for a wine tasting, she greets us with a smile like we are old friends. During the wedding I had the pleasure of meeting some of the other amazing individuals who make Youngberg such a special place. Michelle and Becky, the amazing ladies who take care of the Inn, took such good care of our guests. Always helpful and extremely accommodating - I cannot say enough good things about them. Our family who stayed at the Inn commented many times about the spectacular customer service – everyone really made us feel welcome and comfortable, I could go on and on… Anyone considering Youngberg Hill for their wedding should absolutely do it – it is the right choice, you’ll love your pictures and your guests will thank you for it!

What a gorgeous setting! Youngberg Hill gave us the outdoors feeling we wanted for our reception while also providing the amenities of their beautiful event space. Nicolette was responsive and easy to communicate with and responded to our questions quickly. The view reminded me of Tuscany. Our guests were able to spend time outside at the beginning of the event while staying warm inside for dinner. We had about 7 children around the age of 4 and were so glad that Nicolette recommended Jordan as a "sitter" to attend to the kids. The parents were able to enjoy themselves while Jordan entertained the kids with crafts we provided. This worked so well. The parents raved about her and the kids had such a good time.

We loved this venue. It was gorgeous and allowed us to rent the entire inn for our wedding party which was something we had a hard time finding elsewhere. The venue speaks for itself and doesn't require a lot of decorations. The fact that they provide the tent, table and chairs was a huge relief and they are definitely set up for events with the outdoor bar, catering kitchen and nice outdoor bathrooms!

I was extremely impressed with this venue. My husband and I live in Maui and did all the planning via e-mail with Nicolette. Her responses were prompt and thorough. We are both from Oregon and I had only visited the venue once before. If you are looking for an over the top view of the Willamette Valley and a comfortable, classy outdoor setting for your wedding this is the place. The staff was extremely accommodating. My husband and I even did a day wedding rehearsal and everything worked out excellent. The only thing I was nervous about was the music not being loud enough and everyone who was not staying at the Inn having to leave by 10 pm. I thought it would of felt like the wedding ended early but it didn't. We got to dance to all the music we love until 9:30 at the perfect noise level and then the music was brought down a little until 10pm when everyone was ready to leave. The timing was perfect! One recommendation I have is we were constantly preparing for rain and didn't prepare much for heat considering it is Oregon. We had a beautiful hot day! I would recommend if it's a hot day having hand held fans or umbrellas for your guests to stay cool and protected from the sun. Our ceremony was short so we didn't have to deal with the heat to much and for the reception the guests could get out of the sun because it was protected under beautiful big white tents. I wish I could do it all over again. Visit their website as well. Very helpful. Also, her preferred vendors list was perfect. Our caterer Willabys out of Salem was amazing. Jean is the owner from Willabys and she did awesome. She was also my day of wedding coordinator and was perfect. Karen Egan from Madison Avenue Flowers was my florist. My flowers couldn't of been more beautiful. My DJ/Entertainer, Jesse Bearden from Event Team Entertainment was like your best guy friend from college. He was so professional and cool. He even brought my husband and I a drink at one point without us asking. Everything was a dream come true and we wish we could do it all over again.

July 7, 2012 We enjoyed a wonderful wedding day with our daughter, son-inlaw, family and friends at Youngberg Hill Vineyard Inn. Planning a wedding from a distance could have been a challenge but Nicolette at Youngberg assisted with the process with emails and phone calls when neccesary. As parents of the bride, we were thrilled when we arrived that beautiful Saturday morning. The setting and home are magnificent. A breathtaking view. Our lodging and service were defintely 5 star. All of the staff and vendors were gracious and accomodating. Our daughter and son-in-law had the wedding of their dreams! We only wish we stayed longer. Mahalo, George and Connie

We had our wedding there at the end of April. It was the elopement package but a fairly large group when all was said and done. Very accommodating to our group and every request we had. They paired us with an excellent Judge who gave a lovely ceremony. The weather didn't agree with us but even though it rained they were able to host a very nice wedding.

I had my wedding at Youngberg Hill in October 2017 and it was an amazing. My friends and family are still talking about it and we could not have been happier. From our first email to them to the last follow up after the wedding they were easy to work with. We rented all 9 inn rooms and found that to be a great way to start and finish the wedding. The innkeeper and the whole staff were welcoming. The owner answered all our questions in a timely and easy way to help put the pieces together. We used their preferred caterer, Willabys, and they were so easy to set things up with and had such great ideas of how to manage all the details for the day of my dreams. Thank you to Nicolette and her husband Wade for opening up their estate for us. We look forward to many years of anniversary celebrations with you.

If you want to have your wedding in the most beautiful setting imaginable, with a staff of people backing you up so you have not one worry in the world on the day of the event, then hire Nickolette at Youngberg Hill Vineyards and Inn. Absolutley amazing. Breathtaking view. Incredible staff. Beautiful Inn. They have this down to a science and I would recommend this to anyone. Going into in blind, I was a little frightened by the price of having a wedding - and they made it worth every penny. They took my vision and made it reality and it was very stress free for me. I wouldn't change a thing.

We can't thank Lori at Wine Country Events enough for her hard work to make my daughter's wedding such an amazing event. She was organized, thorough, collaborative, flexible, and always on top of everything. Even our vendors made a point to let us know how much they enjoyed working with her along the way, and at the event. Her hard work made this day perfect for us and our guests! Thank you again to Lori and everyone at Youngberg Hill!

Our wedding was wonderful and we could not thank them enough for all they did and all the extra things they helped us with. Their staff was wonderful and the location is AMAZING. Every time we needed help because we didn't have our act together they were there. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a wedding experience.

The venue is amazing. The location is spectacular and the new event building itself is well constructed but understated to allow the view to be the focal point. You get a view of the vineyard, valley, mountains, rolling hills, and it is just green as far as the eye can see. The site is flat and in one area which made it easy to do everything. The ceremony and reception were so well designed and easy to connect everything we wanted. We were looking for a vineyard that had a great indoor/outdoor option in case Oregon decided to be Oregon and rain on the wedding day. This was the place. The Inn on the estate was required for the night but we loved that as we got to be there all day and see everyone the next morning. We didn't have to stay late to clean up as the staff did that which was a wonderful way to end the wedding, celebrating instead of cleaning. All our personal items were collected for us and secured for us to pick up the next morning before we left. There are rules about some things like guests coming in early and having a party at the Inn and kids but I think they just have to spell out simple things for flaky brides. Overall, it was wonderful. It absolutely made our day to be in this beautiful vineyard and our guests just loved it the whole time. It could not have been better. Thank you to everyone at Youngberg Hill from the owner, Nicolette, and the whole staff (especially the inn staff) for a fantastic time!

I loved every part of my wedding and can't thank them enough! They were wonderful to work with and they helped at every step. The staff was amazing thru the whole process. Offered more then we were contracted for and made everyone feel welcomed. I can't wait to celebrate our anniversaries with them in the future. A wonderful place for wine tasting too.

From the moment we first stepped foot on this property, we were in love with everything it had to offer. Our family and friends stayed at the Inn Thursday and Friday night for a Friday evening wedding of 200 guests. The staff and the interactions with the everyone on site were responsive and helpful in every way. The Inn is gorgeous! The views! Everyone offered over and over to help and step in with anything we wanted and needed. The meals they provided were delicious. The morning walks and the early mornings and late nights on the front porch made everything a little more perfect. The recommended venders that Nicolette referred exceeded our expectations. Willaby's Catering was a perfect partner. The memories created for us, our friends and family in such a beautiful setting, will forever keep our hearts overflowing. Congratulations to our daughter Kelsey and her new husband Cory. We are so blessed to have been able to start your many years together with such an incredible weekend! Thank you Youngberg Hill!

My wife and I were married in July 2012 here and could not have found a better venue and team to work with in planning our special day. Nicolette and her husband, Wayne, were very nice, responsive during the planning process, and made sure all of the details were looked after so we didn't have to sweat the small stuff.

From the first tour through the big day, we were very happy with our decision to wed here. The view is breathtaking, the facilities are top-notch, the wine is outstanding, the staff is hard working and truly friendly, and the list goes on and on.

The rooms at the Inn are very nice and gave our wedding party (we did a night wedding, thus renting the entire Inn as well) plenty of space and an amazing night at a B&B.

Wayne is fairly strict on the music volume level, but was more than willing to help us use his decibel meter to find the max so we didn't go over it. The 10:00 pm end time was no bother to us, our group had no issues taking taxis back to town to keep the party going if they wanted to.

The morning after we enjoyed a great breakfast with, again, great service by the Inn's staff. We hand ample time to pack up and get our selves together before check out. Plus, we left our cake topper at the Inn and Wayne kindly mailed it to our house, talk about care and consideration!

Bottom line: we would absolutely pick Youngberg Hill if we did it all over again. Not only that, but we plan on returning for future anniversaries. You can't go wrong here.

Youngberg Hill was the PERFECT place for our wedding. Stunning views, wonderful facilities, supportive and helpful staff, and reasonable prices. Thank you for making our special day that much more special.

Perfect venue for a wonderful wedding. I was planning from out of the state and this venue was so responsive. From my first contact to request information to the next day when the owner calling me back and spending so much time on the phone making sure I had everything I needed. I never felt that she didn't have my back. All emails were replied to quickly and everything was simple with their package. I hired Willabys catering but this was one of the few venues that allowed me to bring in any caterer I wanted. Their wines were so wonderful and my family & friends were wowed the whole time. The Innkeeper made sure everything is perfect and the mimosas were ready when we arrived. The Inn onsite made everything super simple and the rooms were beautiful, clean, and updated. The venue is breath taking and the views are even better in person. They made our day so very special. Thank you so much!

We had our wedding here in April and it was amazing. I have so many wonderful memories with my family and friends that will last a lifetime. This venue was soooo beautiful and totally meet our expectation. Thank you to the whole staff for making the entire experience easy and we felt so welcomed. The estimates and emails from Nicolette updating us throughout the process were answered quickly and we had everything we could ask for. The wedding week email information & reminder was great too as we booked this venue a year in advance so it was was a great help. The Innkeepers, housekeepers, bartenders, and they guy helping my dad move a big bag of wedding things were so happy to be around. They require a damage deposit that they state is returned within 15 days but we got ours back in 7 days. I would totally recommend this place!

An Amazing Venue! Our son got married here and we fell in love with this place from the first time we toured. Easy to work with, had a process that explained each are we would need, the owner was always there to answer our questions quickly, and they did everything we asked. They made it simple and flexible. We could use their preferred caterer or pick on of our own. I loved that as so many other places we toured had a list of a couple of caterers that we had to use. We also didn't need to pre-buy anything from the bar which is one of many reasons we selected this site. We were sent reminders and updates and even did the spacial seated wine tasting for us to enjoy months before the wedding. When we arrived we were greeted at the door by the Innkeeper and our rooms were set and beautiful. The wedding site was so breathtaking that photos don't do it justice. The next morning we had a great cup of coffee and got to enjoy it with our family and friends. I would recommend this place to anyone for a wedding. We will be coming back for a getaway and more wonderful wine!

Youngberg is the most wonderful place for a wedding. We were so happy with our choice of venue we would not do anything different. Wayne and Nicolette and their staff were so accommodating right down to greeting our guests as they arrived to saying goodbye at the end. Willabys Catering did the catering, SHE Designs for the floral, Myriad Cakes for cake, DJ by NW Mobile DJ and photography was ADB Photographix WHAT A DREAM TEAM! This truly was a flawless beautiful event.

We loved having our wedding at youngberg hill. We had a nice clear day where you can see for MILES all around you since the venue is about 700ft above sea level. We also had an amazing sunset that night that was just perfect. there is a nine room inn attached where you are required to rent out all the rooms ($1400 in 2024) along with the $8k venue fee if you do choose to have your wedding there. I was looking for a venue with some rooms attached so that was perfect. the bridal suite was perfect for getting ready in, with a nice balcony, two rooms, and a HUGE bathroom that was almost the same size as the room! the jetted tub was so nice the night before the wedding.

The reception area was SO NICE. you never know what youll get weather wise in Oregon (it rained the weekend before my wedding and was 97 degrees for my weekend) so it was nice to have peace of mind. you don't even really NEED to decorate the space because its already so nice and airy with all the garage doors. it was a really nice space for 88 people, lots of room to walk around but didn't feel too sparse. the bathrooms are several stairs DOWN though, just FYI for accessability.

we bought a case of their rose for the wedding and it was so popular, we only have half a bottle left at the end of the night!! SO GOOD! their whites are all amazing too! good selection of beers as well.

We spoke only with the DOC on site, named Lori, who was AMAZING. If you choose to go with youngberg hill I 100% recommend working with their onsite DOC. It made everything go so smoothly.

I loved every minute of my wedding. This place was fantastic and the people are so welcoming. I couldn't have dreamed up a better day and I wanted to thank them so much. Every time I needed something they were there. They offered more then we were contracted for at no additional charge. I love that I didn't have to pre-buy at the bar for my guests and I wasn't charged a per guest fee like so many other places do. We had all the rooms at the hotel and they are warmly decorated and felt new. I am looking forward to going back and celebrating our anniversary and enjoying the views with a glass of wine!
I don't write reviews and signed on just to let everyone know that they went above and beyond.

Youngberg hill is the most stunning and breathtaking place I have ever visited. If the incredible views are not enough, the whole staff is helpful and make you feel like nothing can go wrong, even when it does, Becky was right there to the rescue and saved the day. (We forgot our vows we had written and she printed them off and we also forgot our marriage license and she made sure we knew just what to do and made me feel calm again.) All of my guests are raving about how amazing it was. We came from 3 hrs away and it did not disappoint. I could not be happier!!! Nicolette was very easy to work with and took special requests on the type of beer my husband wanted when it was not within the usual options. Overall if I could give them 10 stars I would.

We just had our wedding at Youngberg Hill in mid-August. Nicolette and Wayne are impeccable hosts and very easy to work with. Their organization and welcoming attitudes contributed to a smooth, joyful event. Nicolette responded in very timely and helpful ways throughout the planning process.
The view from Youngberg is breath taking. Many of our guests thanked us for showing them such a beautiful spot, particularly one with such good wine. Our stay at the inn was the perfect way to top off an amazing wedding. The rooms are very comfortable with each room providing a different spectacular view of the vineyards and surrounding area. Breakfast the next morning was quite a treat! Our vegetarian and child-friendly restrictions were seamlessly accommodated.
Every little detail is thought of at Youngberg Hill. We had a difficult time finding the words to express our gratitude. We look forward to return visits to enjoy the inn, the view and the wine!

We had a 120 person wedding at Youngberg Hill in October 2017 and it was beautiful. The place is on top of a vineyard surrounded hill and the breathtaking views that will stay with you for a lifetime. We looked at a few different caterers but ended up using Willabys who managed the site for us and took care of all our numerous needs. The Inn was so great to use to get ready in and for our out of town guests to stay at so they didn't need to drive. Other guests stayed in downtown McMinnville which was 10 minutes drive. I honestly have no complaints. The event building fit everyone easily as we knew the ceremony and reception needed to be inside in October but we were able to spend time outside for photos with the fall colors. Nicolette, the owner, always replied quickly to all my emails through the whole process and helped out at every step. All the costs were the same that were quoted in the contract a year in advance so even if the costs went up we never paid extra which did not happen with some other vendors. I would recommend this place and also I want to thank them for a wonderful time for everyone.
