Please contact the reseller directly if you have any questions regarding those type of tickets.

The line often starts forming an hour before the gates open.
The acoustics are excellent. You will be able to hear very well everywhere!
If it is necessary for you to park in the Maryhill Museum parking area then you will be bussed to the winery. It is about 3/4 of a mile away. Please allow extra time to park and make the bus ride. We hire multiple busses for this and usually the wait isn't too long.

Unfortunately not. Once you leave we cannot allow re-entry into the venue.
Please take in whatever you will need to be comfortable. There are no exceptions.

Where does everyone park?
We not only use the lot you may have used if you have visited, but we also have a continuation of our parking lot the goes on to the East.
In addition we utilize the Maryhill Museum’s grounds for parking and run multiple buses to bring our guests the ¾ of a mile back to the Winery.

Does Maryhill Winery provide any shuttle buses to any of the lodging partners so we don’t have to drive?
Unfortunately we don’t. There isn’t a practical way for us to arrange for several thousand guests to shuttle in vastly different directions.
We wish we could provide such a service.
The website says to contact you about parking for people with disabilities. Why?
When you arrive please show the parking attendant at the entrance of the parking lot that you have a person with disabilities window hanger.
You will be directed as to where to park.
If necessary you will be transported via our van to the proper entrance.

No, it is merely a way for Ticketmaster to track their tickets.

Do we have to be 21 to see a show?
All ages are welcome.
Does my toddler need a ticket?

The 4,000 seat outdoor amphitheater is built into an existing slope on the grounds next to the winery and tasting room. The amphitheater offers sweeping vistas of Mt. Hood, the Columbia River Gorge and will enchant lovers of music, wine and the great outdoors. We have substantially increased our onsite parking capacity to reduce our shuttling needs.
The 180-degree arc of the amphitheater and the gentle incline of the terraced grass deliver panoramic views of the stage and stunning vistas of the Columbia River Gorge in the background. Ground-level lighting illuminates pathways and adds warmth and ambience to the amphitheater without drowning out starlight.
