Why FEAST Portland is for Wine Lovers

FEAST Portland is a food festival held in September each year. It’s a place to meet celebrity chefs, sample delicious bites, and sip on some of the best wine around. 

This will be my fourth year attending FEAST Portland and I’m definitely gearing up for the occasion. I can’t wait for this crazy foodie event again this year – filled with yummy bites, celebrity chefs, and some of the best wine that you could hope to sample.

I talked last year about how FEAST is an event that’s not only for food lovers, but for wine lovers too. One of my favorite places for sampling wine is at The Big Feast. You’ll find some of the best wineries in the business pouring samples at this spectacular event which is held on Saturday, September 14th and Sunday, September 15th at Tom McCall Waterfront Park.

Here’s why FEAST Portland is the event for wine lovers.

  1. I definitely love the convenience of all the wineries coming all together to pour tastes at an event for a good cause and celebrating good food and mostly local vendors!
