For those seeking relaxation, Newberg Nirvana invites guests to unwind with a 60-minute salt soak for two at Soak Box, a beloved local wellness spa. The experience also includes a bottle of The Setting Wines’ 2022 Chehalem Mountain Vineyard Chardonnay. 

Nestled near the celebrated wineries of Newberg, Dundee, Ribbon Ridge, and the Chehalem Mountains, The Setting Inn offers a peaceful, design-forward escape with thoughtful amenities, sweeping valley views, and inviting indoor and outdoor gathering spaces. The modernized barn offers an engaging space for lounging and having fun, and can be booked for everything from corporate retreats and meetings to intimate celebrations such as elopement dinners, rehearsal dinners, bridal showers, baby showers, and more. The inn’s on-site tasting room—open to both guests and the public—features curated tastings of The Setting Wines acclaimed wines, including wines from the Chehalem Mountains and the Eola-Amity Hills, crafted by renowned winemaker Jesse Katz.
