McMenamins is pleased to present last Thursday wine tasting at Hotel Oregon, located in historic downtown McMinnville. The next tasting will be on February 25th and will focus on some heavy hitters from the Columbia Valley including Barnard Griffin Merlot, Andrew Rich Coup d’Etat, Three Rivers Cabernet Sauvignon and McMenamins own Edgefield Zinfandel. These carefully chosen wines will be paired with some light appetizers and a wine expert will be on hand to introduce each vintage and answer any questions you may have. The tasting begins at 7:00pm and is $15.00 per person. Reservations are highly encouraged. 21 and over only please.

And if you can’t make it for the wine tasting, head on over for lunch or dinner. Chef Joshua Conrad has been at Hotel Oregon for almost two years now and has been rolling out some fabulous new menu items. New favorites include the Duck Confit Salad, Hominy & Roasted Red Pepper Risotto, Coq au Vin and the Harris Ranch New York Steak. Is your mouth watering yet?

It is located a mere fifteen minutes from downtown Portland, but it gives weekenders the feeling they are a world away. The main building was built in the early 1900’s and the décor is rich with European flair. The guest rooms have no telephones or televisions, encouraging guests to relax and enjoy their time at Edgefield. To accommodate those who must keep in contact, there is wireless Internet offered in the Black Rabbit Restaurant.
Edgefield offers numerous activities, so you are able to enjoy something you like, or branch out and try something new! Aside from multiple pubs and restaurants, the property houses a golf course, Ruby’s Spa (the Bravo team looks forward to a spa day!), a pool, extensive gardens, as well as a movie theater. Depending upon when you visit, you may have the chance to catch one of the outdoor concerts or art fairs held on the grounds. At the end of your trip don’t forget to visit the gift shop to pick up a souvenir to remember your stay, or find something for a loved one who couldn’t make the trip!

The event started out at the Bravo offices. Each planner was greeted with a hand calligraphy name badge by Alesia Zorn Calligraphy (so, we all knew who everyone was). They boarded the luxury VIP PDX bus and what a bus it is. Large comfy leather seats with the best bathroom you have ever seen. Graham, owner and host served us well and provided some great music! They took us to the Vista Hills Winery, where Stephanie served us 5 different varieties of fabulous Oregon wines. From there, VIP PDX took us to the Allison Inn & Spa, where Joanne Austin and Lori greeted us. We sat sat down to a beautiful table made possible by Barclay Event Rental menu cards by Uncommon Invites and flowers designed by Leah Clouser of Sweet Nellie’s. Joanne shared her vision with us and how she made her dream possible. Owners Jim and Vicky of Gourmet Productions provided the most amazing lunch! After lunch Lori took us on a hard hat tour of The Allison. This place is amazing! So much thought and details has gone into the planning. If you are looking to plan an event in Mid-Willamette wine country, this is definitely the place. Their grand opening is set for September 2009.
