Lenné Estate is seeking a creative, multi-talented individual to serve as our Events Manager.

Our vineyard tasting room, located near Yamhill, OR, will soon reopen after a two year, multi-million dollar renovation. The new space will offer expansive seating, exceptional views, multiple private group spaces, and a much larger and more luxurious environment than our former design.

The Events Manager will be an integral part of our small team, helping to create fantastic events of all types in our tasting room, vineyard, and winery space. Once Lenne reopens we plan to greatly expand our events calendar, and will host private lunches and dinners, small weddings, wine club exclusive events, blind tastings, corporate events, vineyard tours, sunset evenings, live music, crafts fairs, and much more.
