Monet Vineyards

Monet Vineyards in southwest Washington offers a romantic garden setting for weddings, events, and photo shoots, inspired by European landscapes and nestled near the Cascades.

Monet Vineyards is my secret garden.

When I came to the Washington countryside, I had a desire to create a place that echoed the beauty of the European homes and gardens I’d admired while growing up in Portugal. During my childhood I had the opportunity to sit by water pools, walk through gardens and admire vine-covered houses. I romanticized about living in places like those.

Years passed, and life got busy with other passions and ventures. It was only when I settled in the Pacific Northwest that the lush landscape inspired me to begin building my dream. In 2000 the house was completed. In 2006, Purple Rain Vineyard was established as a CSA (Community-Supported Agriculture) with a plan to transition to an event venue, and in the future, a winery.

The time has come for me to open my gates and offer this location as a place for you to enjoy and create memorable moments. I want to share with you, as others did with me, the peace and simple joy of a well-loved place that stands in harmony with nature.

We are located in southwest Washington at the foothills of the Cascade Mountains. We are 10 minutes from Vancouver, Washington, and 30 minutes from Portland, Oregon. We hold weddings, special events, and photo shoots for all occasions. Tours by appointment only. To schedule one, please call or email us.
