Just in time for Valentine’s Day, the wineries of Washington County will be rolling out the red carpet to sweethearts with numerous events. In addition, proceeds from the weekend’s wine sales will be donated to the victims of December’s devastating floods in Vernonia, OR to assist the city with its rebuilding efforts. Most of the participating wineries will be donating 15 percent of their total wine sales.
Just minutes from downtown Portland this area is home to 17 wineries, including the only American-owned saké brewery in the world. The wineries offer warm, friendly and intimate settings that make Washington County, a perfect destination for a romantic pre-Valentine’s Day getaway.
I have located ten wineries and two others that are tasting with their friends (total of 12) in Washington County. All of these folks have stepped up to offer you a fine example of wine and specialty foods available in the area.
