2 Durant Vineyards Villa Catalana Cellar Day 1: Wednesday, September 5, 2018 Oregon Wine Country Upon arrival at Portland International Airport (please arrive by 2 PM), we drive to our hotel in the heart of Oregon s Willamette Valley Region. We check in and have time to refresh after our flight. We begin our winetasting adventure at Villa Catalana Cellar, whose Cascade Berry Fortified Wine liquor won a gold medal at the 2015 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition and whose 2013 Syrah won bronze. They are a small winery, producing less than 500 cases a year whose tasting room was inspired by San Clemente de Tahull, a 12th century Romanesque church in Catalonia, Spain. From there it is not far to Five O Three Restaurant where we gather for a welcome winetasting dinner. D Day 2: Thursday, September 6, 2018 Oregon Wine Country For the early risers, there is an optional Hot Air Balloon Ride awaiting you with breath taking views of this beautiful countryside. Lifting off is dependent on the weather conditions, includes brunch with champagne and lasts three hours. For those wanting to keep their feet on the ground, take a walk or simply relax at our hotel. After lunch on own we depart for the Durant Vineyards where a wine tasting awaits us. A founder in the Oregon wine industry, Durant Vineyards have focused on producing outstanding Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Gris fruit for some of the premier wineries in Oregon for forty years. In 2003, they began to craft small lots of wine from their estate fruit under the Durant label. From the Durant Vineyards, we continue to the Penner Ash Winery where we tour the vineyards and taste some of the wines including the Penner Ash Pinot Noir and Syrah. We enjoy dinner at the winery before we return to our hotel. B, D Day 3: Friday, September 7, 2018 Oregon Wine Country Our first stop is at the Ken Wright Cellars tasting room where we Vista Hot Air Balloons sample some of the wines including their Pinot Noir. Our next stop is the Anne Amie Vineyards. When Dr. Robert Pamplin, one of Oregon s most forward-thinking philanthropists and businessmen, purchased the historic Chateau Benoit Winery in 1999, his vision was to create wines of the highest quality to reflect his passion for excellence. Dr. Pamplin charged winemaker Thomas Houseman and winegrower Jason Tosch with the task of crafting extraordinary Pinot Noir. We enjoy lunch at the vineyard before touring the winery and sampling the wines. We also stop to spend a few hours in McMinnville which offers one of the best Main Streets in all of Oregon. The street is filled with wine shops, boutiques, eateries and more. We enjoy a vertical wine tasting at Willamette Valley Vineyards McMinnville Tasting Room and have time for dinner on own before returning to our hotel. B, L Day 4: Saturday, September 8, 2018 Oregon Wine Country We have this morning for individual interests and before we depart to the Ponzi Winery where we hear the story of Dick and Nancy Ponzi. They moved their young family to the Willamette Valley in the late 1960s with a spirit of adventure and a passion for making world class Pinot Noir. After many research trips to Burgundy and an extensive search for the ideal location, they purchased 20 acres on a small farm. It was a daring risk. We sample some of the award-winning wines. Then we continue to Chapter 24 Vineyards and another wine tasting. We end our day with a farewell dinner this evening at the Joel Palmer House.
