Opera on the Lawn Returns to Remy Wines for a 20th Anniversary Celebration
Some Sunday mornings call for coffee. This one calls for live opera, a picnic on the lawn, and a glass of Oregon wine.
On Sunday, August 23, 2026, Remy Wines will celebrate its 20th anniversary with the return of Opera on the Lawn. The outdoor performance features Portland Opera à la Carte at the Remy Wines farmhouse tasting room in Dayton, Oregon.
The performance begins at 10 a.m., giving guests a chance to enjoy live music, wine, bubbles, mimosas, and a relaxing morning in Oregon wine country.
🟡 Where To Play: Live Opera in Oregon Wine Country
Portland Opera à la Carte brings professional opera singers directly into community spaces using its portable performance stage. At Remy Wines, that means guests can hear beautiful arias and entertaining stories while seated on the lawn among the trees and gardens.
This is not a formal night at the opera. Guests are encouraged to bring a picnic, spread out a blanket, or settle into a low-backed lawn chair. Morning shade will be available, creating a comfortable setting for both longtime opera fans and anyone experiencing live opera for the first time.
Raise a Glass to 20 Years of Remy Wines
Opera on the Lawn is also a celebration of two decades of Remy Wines. Founded in 2006, the winery has developed a loyal following for its Italian-inspired wines and welcoming approach to Oregon wine country.
Glasses of Remy Wines will be available during the performance, along with bubbles and mimosas. Guests can also purchase bottles to take home at special anniversary pricing.
Outside food is welcome, so pack a favorite brunch, gather a few friends, and create your own wine country picnic.
A Relaxed Event for Families and Dogs
Leashed, well-behaved dogs are welcome on the lawn. Youth ages 16 and younger can attend for free with advance registration, making this an approachable way to introduce younger guests to live opera.
Because seating is on the lawn, guests should bring their own blankets or low chairs. Remy Wines follows a pack-in, pack-out policy for outside picnics, so plan to take food containers and other picnic items home with you.
