This immersive evening will showcase the full breadth of Oregon's food and beverage landscape, revealing how it fuels our economy, shapes our culture, and merits our investment and pride.

Guests will taste Oregon through its iconic ingredients - traced from farm and field to table, elevated by award-winning chefs form across the state.
