Historic Victorian estate in the heart of Willamette Valley wine country
Make your visit to wine country memorable with a stay at the 5 star reviewed Historic Dayton Wine House on the National Historic Registry. You’ll feel the grandness of this 1885 Victorian home right when you step inside and experience its 11 foot ceilings and oversized rooms. This is the prominent home on the Dayton town square featuring over 3400 finished square feet, comfortably sleeping 11 people in 5 bedrooms with 2 full bathrooms. Perfect for both large or small groups.
It is very important to us that sleeping be a luxurious experience the same as staying at a high end hotel: the mattresses are so comfortable and the linens and towels are all clean, white and high quality, that guests frequently ask where they can get them for their own homes.
The kitchen is fully equipped for preparing a gourmet meal, with room for several chefs to cook at once. The 10 foot farmhouse table is a great gathering place and comfortably seats 12 people. There is a propane Weber for grilling and a large deck for enjoying a glass of wine outside. The half acre yard is perfect for kids or adults playing lawn games or just relaxing in the hammocks. Directly across the street the town square is a park including a playground, dog park and basketball court.
After a day of exploring and wine tasting, settle in to watch a movie on the theater-sized 135” HD projection TV with Paradigm speakers, or relax and listen to music in one of the leather club chairs in the adjacent living room. Or just take a soothing salt soak in the clawfoot tub.
Oregon is a world-class wine destination and recently celebrated the 50th anniversary of the first planting of its pinot noir grapes. The wine house is perfectly positioned in the middle of the Willamette Valley for easy access to taste at one of its 400+ wineries and also close to the towns of Mcminnville, Newberg, Dundee and Carlton. Multi-million dollar tasting rooms with jaw-dropping views and world class wines are only minutes away. We are happy to share our favorite wineries or help with any suggestions for your trip.
For dining, walk a few blocks to The Joel Palmer house, one of the best fine dining restaurants in the Willamette Valley whose menu centers around mushrooms and truffles the owners forage. For breakfast, just walk directly across the street to The Blockhouse Cafe in an immaculately restored 1886 church.
Juanita’s Cafe has ice-cream in the front and excellent Mexican food in the back. Seufert winery and tasting room is also directly across the street from the wine house.

Because of our mutual love of the Willamette Valley and their passion for Oregon pinot noir, we purchased The Historic Dayton Wine House in 2014 to have a second home in the area we love. We have been coming to Oregon wine country for years and still get excited each time we go, discovering a new winery or exploring backroads to find a new favorite restaurant. When not in wine country we love to travel and enjoy all things outdoors.
Why they chose this property
We feel incredibly fortunate to be the owners and caretakers of this beautiful historic property. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places the wine house is a beautiful example of Victorian style architecture. Known as the “Gabriel-Will house” on the historic register, this is a prominent house in Dayton overlooking the town square on a large 1/2 acre lot.
It has been a dream come true having a home in wine county and are so excited to be able to share it with our guests. Perfect in size for large groups or with a smaller group, each couple can have their own floor. Please note we get requests for events and large gatherings that we have to turn down all the time as there is a strict rule of only the guests staying at the house can be on the property. If you have any questions please reach out.
What makes this property unique
Dayton is like stepping back in time, and vacationing here feels a world away from the big city. Dayton residents take great pride in their town and hold special events throughout the year that are fun to participate in. The summer concerts in the park on Friday nights are our favorite.
Come experience what both we and our previous guests have loved about vacationing at the Historic Dayton Wine House.
