Northwest Food & Wine Festival

The Northwest Food & Wine Festival Welcomes Paté in Portland!

Preferred Grand Tasting: 4:00 P.M. - 8:00 P.M General admission: 5:00 P.M. - 8:00 P.M. The Northwest's legendary food and wine festival will be kicking off its 6th annual season with all the usual components that make up great events. Featuring the best of Northwest wines, spirits and beers in combination with highest quality cuisines from the area's well-known and famous chefs and restaurants.

New this year, a professional chef's competition, Paté in Portland! Professional chefs will compete to win the coveted Golden Goose Award along with cash and bragging rights. Portland is well known for handmade charcuteries, locally grown proteins and gourmet chef creations. We thought this would be a fun way to celebrate the chefs here and make Portland the first city in the United States to host such a competition. We're allowing up to 25 chefs to compete and within two different categories, Traditional Paté and Creative Paté, it's always fun to see just how creative our restaurants can get in Portland. Guests of the festival will be able to vote for their favorites with a people's choice award.

The Northwest Food and Wine Festival has grown to be a must-attend for anyone who enjoys the finer side of tasting, sipping and munching gourmet fare.
