Have you ever traveled to a city just for the food? Well, if you happen to be gluten-free and headed to Portland anytime soon, you may wind up making a habit of coming back just to try all the gluten-free food options you couldn’t work into your first trip. Make no mistake. The gluten-free food […]
We don’t like to brag, and yet sometimes we want to yell it from the rooftops! Here in Portland we sure do love food, and have been nominated numerous times as one of the top ten foodie cities in the country. We literally have every option you can think of from fancy five star restaurants […]
We’re going to be honest: we’re pretty wowed by our tour guide, Joe Streckert. Not only is he a native Portlander (yes they do exist!), which is a rarity these days in a city full of transplants, he actively leads five out of our seven different types of tours. How he keeps them all straight […]

This may be one of the latest harvest in Oregon wine making history this year… but that doesn’t mean we can’t get out and celebrate the great harvests of years past at Pinot in the City. There will be over 100+ wineries, including some of the most revered names in Oregon pinot, in attendance all […]
