Portland, Oregon  (My Hometown)

Cheryl's on 12th- My favorite European style cafe downtown Portland.  The Portuguese fried riceis not something I normally would think of for breakfast, but it's a crowd-pleaser at Cheryl's. 

Broders Cafe- Great place for breakfast.  Get ready for a wait on the weekends, and table sare super close, but it's delicious 
Guero- Be Still My Heart. LOVE this place hands down. Great Bowls and Empanadas are huge! 
The Matador- What good Mexican food that isn't too chain-like or too hole in the wall..21 OVER!

 Cibo- Great Italian on Division St.  We love the wood-fired pizza's and Calzone as well as the pasta dishes.  They have a great Happy Hour! 

PDX Sliders-  Our favorite place for delicious sliders and Hamburgers. Started as a food truck and now has 2 locations in Portland.   Favorites are the Hawthorne, Freemont and the Sellwood 

Revolution Hall-  Roof top bar with a gorgeous view of Downtown Portland.  Blankets provided.

LeChonGreat atmosphere and pretty expensive but worth a go back for a special occasion!  Apps were amazing so I can't imagine whathe main courses must be like.

10 Barrels (Roof Top Seating) Brewery with great food!
Portland City Grill-  Their Happy Hour is Great! Piano bar and amazing City view on top of the pink building.  Dinners' are delicious but expensive so just go in knowing.  Great for the special occasion. And if you look at the art you might just notice my relatives art on the wall Susan Spears Art https://www.susanspearsart.com/watercolors

Tasty-  Tasty is located in Lake Oswego,  it has great food and wonderful happy hour.  I think their burger is delicious and the best burger I have head next to PDX Sliders. 

Aji Tram- Lake Oswego my all time favorite go to night out!  I mean I could branch out but why would I when I am truly in love with their food.   A mix of spicy/Asian 

Wine Country

 Disclaimer** I go more for the views and charcuterie boards than the wine, but here’s some great spots! 

Durant -  I love visiting Durant for it’s wine and it’s views!  Enjoy the view  of the WILLAMETTE valley from Adirondack chairs, listen to live concerts, taste the extensive supply of olive oils, and even enjoy a night over!  https://durantoregon.com/

Lange Lange is nestled in the hills of Yamhill county.  The breathtaking views are a hidden gem.  Their wine is delicious and the views from the patio are a 10! https://www.langewinery.com/

BarnelloJust outside of Lake Oswego Oregon in the Stafford you will find Barnello.  A beautiful farm and barn that serves wonderful wine.  We went for a private tasting and it was really fun.  Great place for events and weddings. https://www.barnellowine.com/

Oswego Hills -  I love the setting and location to town.  Their wines are nice and reasonable for a tasting.  Enjoy the sunset and lawn while you enjoy the wine.   Special occasions are perfect for this venue!

 Petes Mountain- The most beautiful setting!   We enjoyed a nice afternoon on the patio with a view of the West Linn hills and west side https://www.petesmountainvineyard.com/

Tumwater- Easy access from Portland, this is a great spot and their wine is smooth and delicious.   They have a nice patio and event space.  Views are okay but they have done a nice job with their grounds to make a nice setting.  https://www.tumwatervineyard.com/

Domaine Serene - the views are incredible! This is a more formal winery.  Check out the location in Lake Oswego if you want to save a drive and have a different more local experience.  https://www.domaineserene.com/

Aurora Colony - This is such a great location for tasting wine, eating, and venue. Great for a summer night or weekend afternoon.  Wine and food is delicious.Home Page

Abbey Road-  This is such a pretty spot and half the joy for me is the label on the wine is a goat that actually exists in the farm.  So cute Abbey Home 

Hawks View -  Gorgeous views of the East to Mt. Hood.  Grassy lawn with seating and also plenty of room for guests on the patio.  Hawks View hold their upstairs patio for members only but there are great views and places to have parties in many locations on the property.  Staff was great wine was great.
