Morning Activities with Lunch 10:00
OPEN THE DUNDEE VAULTS
Deep within the heart of every winery lurks a place that is near and dear to every winemaker’s heart: the library. It is a bottle-by-bottle record of every wine created at the winery, including treasured vintages, limited-release bottlings and even a few gems that have never seen a store shelf or restaurant list... Join Archery Summit, Domaine Drouhin Oregon, The Eyrie Vineyards, Lange Estate Winery and Sokol Blosser Winery for a tasting of specially selected Dundee Hills wines, followed by lunch Oregon-style, all at the hilltop setting of Domaine Drouhin Oregon. RSVP: Emily Stoller Smith, at 503-472-6315 or 888-440-4970, cell 503-474-7262, emily@eyrievineyards.com
FOOD & WINE PAIRING EXTRAORDINAIRE IN THE PINOT QUARTER
Join Panther Creek, R. Stuart & Co., and Westrey Wines for a relaxing sojourn to the “Pinot Quarter”, an urban winery neighborhood in historic downtown McMinnville. First, Trish Rogers of R. Stuart & Co. presents her famous food & wine pairing seminar (a perennial OPC camper favorite). You’ll match typical ‘by the glass’ varietals with the spectrum of food flavors and be amazed at your discoveries! Then cross the street for lunch at Panther Creek; an Italian picnic prepared by Carmen Peirano and chef Eric Ferguson, both of the legendary Nick’s Italian Café. Accompany your lunch with one of our finely crafted wines or, if you prefer, a microbrew.
RSVP: Maria Stuart at 866-472-6990, maria@rstuartandco.com

THE BIG CHEESE
Have you ever wondered how winemakers spend their free time? Well, join Montinore Estate for a morning and find out. Make cheese along side owner Rudy Marchesi, his daughter Kristin and the rest of the Montinore team. After the “work” is done join us for a cheese and wine pairing with some of Oregon’s finest cheese. And then share in a farmhouse lunch where we will taste some local culinary treats as well as the Marchesi’s homemade salami and cheeses paired with Montinore’s estate grown Biodynamic® wines or winemaker John Lundy’s home brew. Transportation will be provided to and from the winery. Limit 12 people

OREGON TRIPLE CROWN
Experience the thrill of running with three of the top thoroughbreds of the Oregon wine world - Beaux Frères, Penner-Ash Wine Cellars, and Soter Vineyards. You will spend intimate time with each of the winemaker/proprietors at their three wineries, and engage in vineyard walks as well as discussions of their individual winegrowing philosophies. At each venue you will take part in a wine related tasting contest - competing against yourself and your peers. These are the Belmont, Preakness, & Kentucky Derby of the tasting circuit - The Triple Crown! There will be prizes. Along the way you will be treated to fresh oysters & bubbles, and at the finish line there will be a sensational lunch prepared by David Bergen of Tina's Restaurant.

EXPLORE BIODYNAMICS
Join the Belle Pente and Maysara Winery families at Oregon’s largest certified Biodynamic® vineyard, Momtazi Vineyard, for an exploration into this self-sustaining method of farming and the role it plays in winemaking. Relax with a cool drink and a variety of home-cooked delicacies as you investigate different Biodynamic® preparations and their many useful purposes. And if you’ve got the energy, make sure to bring your walking shoes as no Biodynamic® experience is complete without touring the vineyard and witnessing the effects first hand.
