16 | EDIBLE PORTLAND SUMMER 2025 Amaterra means “for the love of the earth,” and the expansion of our Amaterra Kitchen + Social Club concept to Bend is a natural extension of that philosophy—one that celebrates great food, great wine, and the vibrant community of Central Oregon. Bend has a deep appreciation for ingredient-driven, high-quality cuisine. We’re excited to bring not only our acclaimed Willamette Valley wines—including our signature Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, as well as our award-winning bold reds, crisp whites, and bright rosés made from varietals across the Pacific Northwest, but also a dining experience that feels right at home in this dynamic food scene. By day, guests can enjoy a true tasting experience with thoughtfully curated small plates designed to complement every pour. As evening arrives, the space transitions into a full-service dining experience, featuring a refined yet relaxed menu inspired by local ingredients and crafted to reflect the flavors of Central Oregon. Recognized as USA Today’s Best New Winery and voted the #2 Best Restaurant in Portland by Portland Business Journal readers in 2024, Amaterra is proud of its commitment to quality and hospitality to Bend—creating a place where casual meets exceptional, and every visit offers an experience rooted in craftsmanship, community, and the natural beauty of Oregon. This expansion grew naturally from our desire to extend Amaterra’s presence beyond Portland.
