Autumn is a magical time in Central Oregon. Clear days and gorgeous fall colors are perfect for taking in the region’s natural beauty, whether from aboard one of Big Sky Balloon Co.’s hot-air balloons or on a hike through the forest. It’s also a time to celebrate the season’s bounty at the Sisters Harvest Faire, Bend Fall Festival, and local farmers markets. Fall is also a season to prioritize wellness.

Summer is just around the corner, and in Portland, we’re ready for long, sunny days and a full calendar of outdoor activities, cultural festivals and celebrations. For some this time of year means spending weekends sprawled out in grassy parks while listening to live music performances and enjoying global food from street vendors. For others it’s all watching colorful floats and energetic marching bands at parades with the kids.

Ready for a little urban wine tasting? Head for Boedecker Cellars, a working winery and tasting room in the heart of Portland. Part of the PDX Urban Wineries Collective,  Boedecker Cellars specializes in pinot noir, including vineyard-specific pinot noirs. That makes it a terrific place to experience the range and diversity of Oregon’s most famous wine in a single spot. My husband and I recently visited Boedecker Cellars’ winery tasting room for ourselves. Here’s how to enjoy the experience.
