The Third Annual Portland Indie Wine Festival is a weekend celebration of Oregon's most talented limited-production wineries.  This year's event will be held May 5th & 6th in the historic Pearl District in downtown Portland.  Each winery represented produces less than 2000 cases of wine per year with diverse styles and movements toward sustainable production.  This weekend, like many of Portland’s popular cultural events, will include food prepared by Oregon's top chefs and a selection of "best wines" selected by a jury - you might even get to meet the winemakers!

Oregon has a growing wine industry with numerous wineries across the Pacific Northwest. A drive to the coast is peppered with wineries - great for stopping along the way or gathering friends and organizinga wine tour.
