Farmers Markets
Score more locally grown goodness at the Wilsonville Farmers Market. Every Thursday evening in the summer, over 45 farmers and vendors gather for fresh food, live music and nightly cooking demonstrations. Head to one of eight Portland farmers markets for a real treat. Plan to go hungry so you can snack from a variety of food vendors (homemade hand pies, pizza, breakfast baked goods and more). Look for special events, discounts and deals like free bike rentals when you pedal to the market or you can craft your own produce bag (and maybe put a bird on it!).
Farmside Dining
For farmside dining events, look no further than a few miles down the road. Check out Summer Sundays at Lady Hill Winery for an evening of local northwest cuisine, live opera and wine tasting under the picture-perfect skies of St. Paul.
St. Josef’s Winery, one of Oregon’s wine pioneers, also has dining and tasting events scattered throughout the year. From paella to pok pok to locally-crafted cheese and wine pairings, this Canby gem knows how to thrill the palate. For those who delight in the nuances of a curated six-course meal, don’t miss a Dinner in the Field event at St. Josef’s. The seasonal dinner celebrates Oregon’s harvest as diners gather around communal tables for dishes created from the bounty of nearby farms and ranches. Each course is expertly paired with wines from St. Josef’s vineyards.
For a delightful mix of food and history, head to the French Prairie Farm Feast. Held every August at the Newell House Museum in the Champoeg State Heritage Area, the event is a celebration of local food grown in the French Prairie and luscious Oregon wines.
