Feast Portland Oregon Bounty Grand Tasting

Feast Portland is coming and I am ready to get BLISSed out on the amazing food and beverage event of the season! Are you going? Join me!

From Thursday September 19 - Sunday September 22, Feast Portland features an amazing list of mostly local chefs, wineries, breweries, artisans, and other food and beverage experts in a mind-blowing events collective. From interesting tasting panels to mouthwatering dinner series and brunch series events, you have the opportunity to, literally, feast on creations from some of the area's most renowned chefs and artisans while also filling your mind with thought-provoking food knowledge from leading experts in the awe-inspiring speaker series. You can get your tickets online at FeastPortland.com.

Feast Portland steals my heart not only because of its awesome events, but because its net proceeds benefit some excellent charities that help fight hunger: Share Our Strength's No Kid Hungry Campaign and Partners for a Hunger-Free Oregon. So please GO, eat, enjoy...and know that in doing so, you are also helping those who do not have the same access to healthy food as we do.

Feast Portland Oregon Bounty Grand Tasting

If you've never been to Feast Portland before and you're looking for one event to attend that will give you a nice overview of the spirit of the event, a large sampling of beer and wine as well as some tasty nibbles, and a big, open, fun party atmosphere, I'd suggest snagging tickets to either the Friday or Saturday night Oregon Bounty Grand Tasting Event presented by Alaska Airlines. An impressive list of local wineries, breweries, food vendors, and chef demonstrations take over Portland's Pioneer Square. You can buy your tickets at FeastPortland.com.
