Armstrong Vineyard is uncorking the fun for the first-time ever in Portland.

Starting at 5 p.m. on Thursday, May 8, attendees can find the vineyard’s first tasting in Portland at The Wine Yard, 2005 Eighth Ave., featuring wines from three producers: Red Electric Wines, Vincent Wine Company and Division Winemaking Company.

There will be two experiences: a technical tasting and a walk-around casual tasting.

Guests can expect current and library vintages from each winery, with winemakers and vineyard owners.

Here are the two ticket options and what’s included:

Technical tasting

• This is limited to 24 guests and is from 5-6:30 p.m. with tickets priced at $60.
• The winemakers will explore vintages and clones over a vertical selection of Armstrong Vineyard bottlings, offering a Q&A for all attendees throughout the tasting.
• Includes access to the walk-around tasting from 6:30-8:30 p.m.

Walk-around tasting

• This is from 6:30-8:30pm with tickets priced at $15.
• This walk-around tasting is a celebration of Armstrong Vineyard with the winemakers. The walk-around tasting will offer more than 9 wines, including Pinot Noir and Chardonnays, highlighting several library wines.

Winemakers will be on-site to pour current and library selections made from Armstrong Vineyard’s fruit, along with the owners, Doug and Michele Ackerman.

Snacks are available for purchase.

The 16-acre Armstrong Vineyard was planted in 2007 on the ancient soils of the Willakenzie series found in Ribbon Ridge. It’s been farmed organically since 2013, harvesting grapes between September and October, allowing for variability in sugar concentration, acid and tannin levels.

Ribbon Ridge, an American Viticulture Area, was established on July 1, 2005, within the Willamette Valley, and hosts dozens of vineyards and wineries. These AVA regions have geographic or climate features that distinguish them from surrounding regions and affect how grapes grow.
