Oregon wineries are finding creative ways to stay in touch with their customers while tasting room doors remain closed due to the coronavirus. If you need a wine-related distraction, these six events are guaranteed to educate and entertain.
‘I Love Gamay’ Oregon Wine Festival

Portland’s beloved gamay noir celebration is back with a social distancing twist. Instead of an elbow-to-elbow affair at an event space, attendees are invited to virtually love the gamay noir grape from afar.
Festival organizers are offering virtual gamay noir tastings on May 16, 23 and 30 from 2-3:30 p.m. Each tasting session features 3-4 winemakers and their wines. Topics include aging wines in different vessels, how soil types influence a wine and a France v. Oregon gamay noir “smackdown.”
These events are free of charge via Zoom. If you would like to sip the wines as the winemakers hold court, the festival created tasting packs for you to purchase. The wines can be shipped to your home or picked up curbside at the SE Wine Collective. RSVP for an event and learn more about the wines here.
The wine educators at the Sunday School will also offer a virtual gamay noir class in conjunction with the festival. Wines for the May 29 class will be available for purchase through the SE Wine Collective.
2-3:30 p.m., May 16, 23, and 30 for tasting events; 6-8 p.m. May 29 for the class, ilovegamay.com.
Elk Cove Vineyards ‘Lockdown Kitchen’

If you are finally running out of ideas for home-cooked meals, Elk Cove’s Amy Griffith is here to help. Chef Griffith joins forces with sous-chef Matthew “L.J.” Johnson to help you prepare a comforting dish you can pair with an Elk Cove wine. Just download a recipe and follow along with the chefs on Vimeo.
My favorite so far is the crispy chicken sandwich on a Japanese milk bun, paired with Elk Cove’s sparkling “La Bohème” Brut Rosé. Elk Cove’s wines are available for shipping to your doorstep or for contact-free pick-up at the winery.
Elk Cove Vineyards, 27751 N.W. Olson Road, Gaston, elkcove.com or 503- 985-7760.
Raptor Ridge Winery Virtual Tour Packages
Tired of long walks on the same neighborhood blocks? Raptor Ridge owners Scott and Annie Shull have prepared a series of tours of American Viticultural Areas (AVA) located in the Willamette Valley. In case you get thirsty while learning about soils and microclimates, special three-packs of Raptor Ridge wine from each AVA are available for $99. The wines can be shipped to your doorstep or picked up in contact-free style at the winery.
Raptor Ridge Winery, 18700 S.W. Hillsboro Highway, Newberg, raptorridgewinery.com or 503.628.8463.
