Corporate Retreats in Portland

Portland is easy to fly into and sits within two hours of the Columbia River Gorge, Oregon wine country and the Pacific coast. Teams can choose forests and waterfalls, vineyards or the ocean, and add a night in one of the country’s best food cities.

It depends on your group. Skamania Lodge sits on 175 acres in the Columbia River Gorge, with more than 250 rooms, treehouses and about 23,000 square feet of meeting space, so it suits the largest teams. The Allison Inn & Spa has 85 rooms on 35 acres in Willamette Valley wine country and 12,000 square feet of meeting space, a strong fit for mid-size groups. Headlands Coastal Lodge has 51 oceanfront rooms and cottages in Pacific City, best for small leadership teams of about 20. We’ll recommend the best fit for your group size, goals and budget.

July through September is dry, warm and the most reliable for outdoor plans. September and October bring harvest season in wine country. Spring is green, with the Gorge waterfalls at their fullest, and winter is mild and rainy, with cozy lodge settings and lower rates.

Most groups fly into Portland International Airport (PDX). Skamania Lodge is about 45 minutes east, The Allison is about 45 minutes to an hour south, and Headlands is about two hours west on the coast. Wilder coordinates group transfers for every leg.
