Oregon Seafood and Wine festival 2008 February 1, 2008

This winter event held February 1 & 2, 2008 is a celebration of all things Oregon, but most specifically our wonderful Oregon seafood and wines.

Scheduled in the quiet of winter, and smack dab in the middle of the Dungeness Crab season, it promises to be a popular event in Portland, the gateway to the Oregon coast and the Oregon wine country.

The event will be a very upscale yet festive event at the Oregon Convention Center, promising a climate-controlled facility with lots of on-site and surrounding parking. Over 130,000 square feet of exhibit space will allow for lots of room to wander the event while stopping to sit and enjoy the good food, drink and live music throughout the event.

The first 500 people each day through the gates receive a commemorative wine glass to use at the festival and then take home with you. Portions of the $12 admission charge go to the Oregon Chapter of the National MS Society.

Food item prices range from $1 and up. Wine sampling starts at .50 and prices for menu items varies from $2 to $15.00.
