Replenish and rejuvenate all five senses at the pristine peak of Beaux Frères’ iconic Upper Terrace Vineyard, in the heart of the Ribbon Ridge AVA. With its densely forested perimeter and vivid vistas, we will set the stage for an unforgettable sensory feast.

The gustatory centerpiece will be a spring lamb sourced from the Cristom estate, roasted over woodfire by our friends at Proletariat Butchery, and paired with a selection of library bottlings, large formats, and locally crafted beers curated by our collective winery teams. The auditory element will be choreographed by guest DJ and legendary Portland musical artist Patti King (The Shins, Radiation City, Port Velvet). You are invited to put your own stamp on the vibe, as Patti weaves your requests into the party soundtrack.

At the heart of this multi-sensory experience is the opportunity for authentic connection, conversation, and conviviality — a relaxed and refreshing capstone to your OPC journey.

After campers arrive there will be a brief tour of our 500-acre estate. Those campers who want to shoot will attend a short gun safety lecture and be directed to the skeet range. No drinking in the AM if you plan on shooting.

If you choose not to shoot, you may choose to wander the property, take in the beautiful surroundings, or take advantage of the various lawn games. Curated pizzas from our wood-fired oven will follow along with an introduction to some lesser-known Oregon wines and varietals, led by the various winemakers in attendance!

Campers who participate in shooting will not be able to drink alcohol until the shooting portion of the event is completed.

Four iconic Oregon wineries come together for an intimate, thought-provoking exploration of Willamette Valley Chardonnay. Join us for a guided roundtable tasting at the La Belle Promenade vineyard that highlights the precision, energy, and tension born of four distinct AVAs and the focused winemaking philosophies that shape them.

Through open conversation, we’ll dive into what defines New World Chardonnay today: restraint and generosity, tradition and evolution, site expression and human intention. Engage directly with the voices shaping the future of Oregon Chardonnay--up close, unfiltered, and in dialogue.

The conversation continues over a thoughtfully prepared lunch for 25 where campers can linger, connect, and reflect on the wines in a relaxed, communal setting. Designed for curious palates, this collaborative experience invites you into the nuance, debate, and beauty of Oregon’s most compelling Chardonnay conversation.

Come join us for an exciting adventure exploring premier single-vineyard sites throughout Oregon, along with the winemakers who celebrate them. After two long days in Willamette Valley, you deserve a break and some spectacular wines at a pristine, spring-fed “hidden” lake located in the heart of the Dundee Hills. So put on your flip-flops, shorts, and shades, and let's hang out for an afternoon of fun, floating, fishing, and food. Featuring award-winning vineyards like Freedom Hill, Wit’s End, Coeur de Terre, Momtazi, Haaken-Lenai, and Prince Hill, we'll explore the elements of climate, terroir, and winemaking that make these sites so special. There will be plenty of good food and "Oregonian" fun to be had; you can relax on a paddle board or hop in a float and make your way around the picturesque 8-acre lake. If you want to play lawn games, grab a glass and play some cornhole. If you're into fishing, spend some time with our winemakers/local fly-fishing experts as they help show you the ropes of their true passion: fly fishing. We will see you there!

So, You Want To Be a Winemaker!

Participating Wineries: Brooks, Phelps Creek, Shea, Winderlea
Time: 11:00 am – 3:00 pm
Location: Brooks Winery, 21101 SE Cherry Blossom Lane, Amity, OR 97101

It’s time to put all your new knowledge of Oregon Pinot Noir into action. You will be teamed up with winemakers from Brooks, Phelps Creek, Shea and Winderlea as they share how decisions made planting their vineyards follow through into the final decisions they make blending their wines. You’ll taste through the AVAs as winemakers and viticulturists Claire Jarreau (Brooks), Bob Morus/Lauren O’Brien (Phelps Creek), Peter Shea/Rachel Silkowski (Shea) and Anna Ricci/Emily Terrell (Winderlea) share barrel samples of the same clones from four different AVAs. Then we turn it over to you to blend your own bottle of Oregon Pinot noir that you will get to produce, package, brand and market in teams to share with fellow campers.

After the heavy lifting is done, it’s time to open some Sparkling, Rosé and Chardonnay paired with raw oysters and more while surveying the Willamette Valley and Brooks’ expansive five mountain view. Then we’ll sit for lunch where we’ll all get the opportunity to taste your newly created Oregon Pinot noir along with a selection of current release and library wines from Brooks, Phelps Creek, Shea and Winderlea in the vineyard. Lunch will be created and prepared by one of the most talented chefs in the area and will be inspired by the hyper seasonal ingredients available in the Pacific Northwest in June. This will be the exclamation point on your OPC experience!
