Refreshed wine brand looks to create community with custom tasting and club experience
Portland, OR (October 20, 2020) -Angela Vineyards is thrilled to be bringing their tasting and club experience, focused on the joy of discovery, to an urban setting this winter season; The Loft at Union/Pine in southeast Portland. Angela Vineyards was founded in 2006 in Carlton, Oregon, with the simple intent of making delicious wines with and for friends. Grapes are sourced from select vineyards in the Willamette Valley and winemaker Alban Debeaulieu showcases each vineyard’s individualities while treading lightly on the earth.
To best share these wines and cultivate community, the Beyond the Vines experience was created to provide a canvas where each group can chart their own path of discovery, that is equal parts inspiration and joy. Located in the wide-open space of an urban loft, featuring work from local artists and furnished with guests’ comfort and safety in mind, the team has made sure the experience feels intimate and cozy for the season while adhering to all safety protocols. A clever menu from a rotation of local chefs will match the wines and just the right amount of service.
“Supporting our community is important to Angela Vineyards as a brand, and it stems from the relationships we build and cultivate. In this disrupted period, relationships and community are even more important. We saw this through our Return to the Vines experience this summer where we invited people back outside into the vineyards that the chance to connect was much needed, whether it is with friends and loved ones or with a greater cause.” – Heather Wallberg, Experience Director
With the intention of further strengthening community, Beyond the Vines will incorporate the ‘Postcards with Purpose’ program, which will benefit Equitable Giving Circle. Guests can purchase a postage paid, custom-designed post card by a local artist to send to those they’d like to reconnect with. Proceeds from the purchase and on-site mailing will benefit this cause that is close to the hearts of the Angela Vineyards team. Visit Angela Vineyards’ website to learn more about the brand, the team and wine club membership options.
Beyond the Vines is open to all starting October 31, 2020, through April 25, 2021. Operating hours are 11am – 4pm, Saturday and Sunday each weekend. Reservations required.
About Angela Vineyards:
Angela Vineyards was started in 2006 in Carlton, Oregon, with the simple intent of making delicious wines with and for friends. Our chosen approach was an ancient one: letting the grapes and the terrain guide the way. This corner of the New World is one of contrasts and surprises—one we were drawn to because there’s just something about bringing the unexpected together. What we produce comes from relationships—between land and weather, vines and soil, people and places, ideas and experiences. Winemaker Alban Debeaulieu creates wines that showcase their individualities and essential pleasures while treading lightly on the earth. We feel winemaking is about the process and what’s essential is the wines are well-made, balanced, flavorful, and bring joy to the people drinking them.
