International Wine and Food Society Tour

International
Wine and Food Society
Tour

In May of 2000 I had the great opportunity to conduct a winery tour for 36 members of the International Wine and Food Society. They held their annual convention that year in Napa and 36 decided to come to Oregon after the close of the convention.

I arranged the tours to the wineries as well as food events throughout the three days. The local Chapter of the Wine and Food Society set up the lunch and dinner on day three. Lunch was held at Southpark and dinner at Atwaters.

Here is a highlight of our time in Oregon's wine country.
