Welcome to ENSO

Host your memorable gathering with wines made right here in Portland.

We have a variety of ways to help you host a memorable party, meeting, meal or celebration. Groups as small as 20 and as large as 120 are right at home in our warm, casual space.

It's a great chance to show off wines made in Portland, with food, beer and cider options and an extensive non-alcoholic menu because you don't always need alcohol to celebrate.

How food & drink work

Delicious is the easy part. Just tell us how you'd like to run the bar.

Every rental carries a reasonable alcohol minimum, and the host makes sure it's met. A 20% gratuity is added to all food & drink. Choose the bar style that suits your day:

Bar style I

Hosted bar

Often called an open bar: covered by a single payer, with a dollar limit you set (as long as the minimum is met). Drinks average $11 a glass between wine, beer, cider and NA options. Plan on about one drink per guest, per hour.

Bar style II

No-host bar

Guests cover their own drinks. At the end of the night our bar team tallies the tabs to confirm the alcohol minimum was reached.

On the menu

Add appetizer portions of locally-made salami, cheese and bread for $7 / person, served on black-walnut boards: a beautiful match for our wines. More is available from our menu, too.

Prefer to bring your own food or a caterer? Wonderful. The client or caterer provides all dishware, flatware and serving pieces, and handles bussing, dishes and trash from their service.
