Looking for the pure stuff? Then look no further than the delectable Pinot Noir from Le Cadeau which perfects the popular varietal in a subtle yet expansive wine. Le Cadeau means “the gift” but the winery itself states, rather eloquently, that the wine is not the gift, the wine is simply “the excuse.” What better excuse to share time together and a story or two than over a glass (or bottle) of finely crafted wine?

Wine may tickle your fancy but the true beauty of the drink is understanding and admiring the craft that goes into making it. At Alexana, you can book a private vineyard tour that will show you the ins and outs of the meticulous process of creating your favorite adult beverage. Upon conclusion of your extensive tour you’ll be treated to a private winetasting as well as a platter of cheese and charcuterie to delight your palette.
Alright, maybe it’s not a wine night after all and you’re looking for some tasty brews. At Oregon City Brewing Company you’ll be immersed in the world of traditional German brew practices. Try the Märzen, Schwarzbier, or endeavor into the hoppiness that only their Great Glass Elevator Triple IPA can provide. As if those beers weren’t enough to introduce you to authentic German flavor, you will also be served up some genuine German sausages to round out your experience.
Feeling inspired to create your own unique brews? At The Homebrew Exchange you will learn the techniques of brewing from brewmasters who will teach you the chemical reactions between the four basic beer ingredients: water, hops, barley (grain), and yeast. You’ll be brewing five gallons of your very own creation with a proof as well as have the opportunity to stock your home with equipment as a miniature brewery to continue your brewing practices. Thirsty now? You may have to stop for a drink as your personalized brew won’t be ready for five weeks; but it will certainly be worth the wait.
