In my experience, winery audiences are not exactly the most boisterous. 
But 
it does seem like most wine-related gigs seem to have expectations of what 
kinds of music/energy happen there, and it seems to generally be pretty 
conservative. The last winery Eleven Eyes played (this was in California, 
not OR, but still applies) had a rule about no bass solos. Well, not only 
did I take a bass solo, I took a FUZZ bass solo, and the owner still asked 
us back. But still, I think trying to organize a loop/experimental music 
festival as a destination event at a winery might be a bit futile. I think 
some sort of urban space in Portland or Eugene might actually attract an 
audience.
