For the fifth year, Art Meets Wine in the High Desert is back May 15-20, bringing Oregon wine country to you!
Participate in the virtual experience, the live event or both! You can attend a
virtual wine tasting in the comfort of your own home; enjoying a night with some incredible winemakers. Share it with some good friends, make it a girl’s night out or a date night with your special someone.
See, Swirl, Sniff, Sip and Savor the essence of these exceptional Oregon wines. Virtual tastings are May 15-18.
The Art Meets Wine committee members are Kendra Schreiner, Sandra Kendle, Laura Dickinson, Karen Agee and Kate North.
Here are some ideas to have a virtual wine tasting party at your home:
- Plan a dinner with suggested pairings for the wines being served. Winemakers will be sending suggested pairings with your wine shipment.
- Assign a wine to each guest and ask them to bring an appetizer to pair with the wine.
- Ask guests to bring an appetizer with no special instructions.
- Make the food item you learned about in the virtual class with Kasia at Market of Choice on May 15.
No matter how you do your house party, it is sure to be a great evening.
Another great way to enjoy some unique wines is by attending the “Live” portion of the week-long event, on Saturday, May 20 at the SHARC.
There are two sessions: 2-4:45 pm and 5:15-8 pm. Oregon has a plethora of varietals from our diverse viticultural area that are sure to please your palate.
Enjoy a taste, a glass or buy a bottle from 10 different wineries to take home! Enjoy art demonstrations by artists from the Artists Gallery, while shopping at the “pop up” store. Top it off with some “off the charts” food while Wil Kinky puts on an amazing live show.
You will have an opportunity to peruse almost 100 auction items including art, wine, trips and experiences. And all of this is included in one price! Tickets go on sale March 1. Consider this for a great “Mother’s Day gift. The event is a fundraiser for the Sunriver Women's Club.
