The AAPI event provided such a wonderful environment for my friends and I to spend the day trying new foods, sipping incredible wine, and learning from vendors about the process and care put into perfecting their craft. We will absolutely be back!

We did the VIP experience at the 2024 Oregon AAPI Food * Wine Fest, and it's totally the move from now on! IN addition to early entry, we enjoyed the unlimited specialty bites and wine pours in the private VIP seating area, which made the event feel next-level.

The suggested pairing is a 2023 pinot noir from Kristof Farms, co-owned by Pulitzer Prize–winning journalists Sheryl WuDunn and Nicholas Kristof.
