Apona Vineyards

Apona Vineyards was founded by Afton Towry and Andrew Head on a 100-acre property in Veneta, in the southern Willamette Valley. The name plays on Epona, the Celtic/Roman goddess of horses and harvest, reflecting the property's working horse barn and equine heritage. The 32-acre LIVE-certified vineyard is divided into eight blocks growing seven varietals in ancient Veneta loam and marine sedimentary soils. Tastings take place inside a converted blue horse barn at the heart of the property or on a patio overlooking a pond, the vineyard blocks, and surrounding forest. The estate also keeps horses in a nearby pasture visible from the tasting room. Visitors can order wine flights and glasses, plus light bites such as charcuterie, cheese boards, burrata, and hummus; wood-fired pizza is available on weekends. The winery offers several tasting settings depending on group size, including a large deck for groups of 9 to 14.
