DAY THREE ACTIVITIES

MEET, GREET & SKEET!
Skeet Shoot & Join us for Woodfired Pizzas and Delicious Oregon Wines

We welcome OPC campers to get back to nature and relax Oregon style. Bryn Mawr, Illahe Vineyards, Hyland Estate, Left Coast Estate, and Union Wine Company are teaming up to introduce you to a day of outdoor skills, unique Oregon wines not called Pinot Noir, beautiful scenery, great food and relaxation.  

After campers arrive there will be a brief tour of our 500-acre Left Coast 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!

SINGULARLY OREGON
Hosted By: Lange Estate Winery, ROCO, St. Innocent, Coeur de Terre and Prince Hill Vineyards

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 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!

SAVOR THE JOURNEY: FROM VINEYARD HEIGHTS TO CELLAR INSIGHTS
Hosted by: Soter Vineyards, Bethel Heights Vineyard, Antica Terra, Cristom Vineyards

 Join us at Mineral Springs Ranch for an unforgettable day of exploration, conversation, and celebration in Oregon wine country. Hosted by Tony Soter of Soter Vineyards, this special gathering brings together acclaimed winemakers Chris Fladwood (Soter Vineyards) Ben Casteel (Bethel Heights Vineyard), Maggie Harrison (Antica Terra), and Daniel Estrin (Cristom) for an immersive experience in the art of winemaking. Your day begins with a scenic hike to the top of Mineral Springs Vineyard, where you'll be greeted with a stunning spread of local oysters. Savor a selection of Oregon’s finest white and sparkling wines as our winemakers share their insights on terroir, while oyster experts illuminate the nuances of our region’s unique 'merroir.' 

With your palate primed, we’ll return to the Soter lodge for a guided tasting of the 2022 vintage, delving into a thought-provoking discussion on grape ripeness—how it’s measured, why it matters, and the subjectivity of selecting the perfect pick date.

To conclude the day, unwind on the patio with a glass of wine (or a refreshing pint from our favorite local brewery), indulge in friendly games, and enjoy a feast that celebrates the spirit of Pinot Camp 2025.
 

SO, YOU WANT TO BE A WINEMAKER!
Hosted By: Brooks, Shea Wine Cellars, Winderlea Vineyard & Winery, Phelps Creek Vineyards

It’s time to put all your new knowledge of Oregon Pinot Noir into action. You will be teamed up with winemakers from Brooks, Shea, Phelps Creek 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, Dick Shea, Bob Morus and Bill Sweat share barrel samples of the same clones from three 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 Dundee Hills and the Cascades.  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, Shea, Phelps Creek and Winderlea in the vineyard.  Lunch is being created and prepared by Executive Chef Juan Gomez of Comedor Lilia.  Named one of America’s Best New Restaurants by Esquire Magazine in 2024 for it’s hyper seasonal Pacific Northwest cuisine inspired by the small casual eateries across Mexico.  This could be the exclamation point on your OPC experience!

Imbibe over good food, wine, and conversation with winemakers and walks through the vineyard or just sit quietly, admiring the view and digesting the weekend. Space is limited to 30 campers. We hope to share a small piece of the REAL OREGON with you.

OREGON’S INFLUENCE ON BURGUNDY
Hosted by:  Beaux Fréres, Lingua Franca, Nicolas Jay

Concept: Bringing together three wineries who all make, or have made, wine in Burgundy & Oregon to flip the script on how Burgundy-Oregon relations are traditionally spoken about. Instead of focusing the conversation on how Burgundy effects winemaking in the Willamette Valley, we will take the opportunity to taste wines from both regions and hear how the Willamette Valley is currently influencing some of Burgundy’s modern day practices.

We will be pouring 2 wines produced by each winery in Oregon alongside one wine produced by each winery in Burgundy. We plan to provide fine food (caterer being selected) as well as transportation for the campers to Nicolas Jay as well as on to PDX after the event.
