Lunch: Cheap Eats One of the secrets behind Portland’s legendary food scene is that many chefs got their start in a tiny food cart, serving up their inventive culinary creations to the hungry masses for not much more than $10. Many go on to open some of the city’s favorite brick-and-mortar restaurants, featuring their now-classic dishes — Lardo’s sandwiches, Jojo’s fried chicken and Güero’s tortas among them. With their eclectic, quick, tasty and affordable fare, food-cart pods continue to attract hungry crowds across the city, both downtown and in the neighborhoods (easily accessible by bus or light rail). You can start in Portland’s living room, Pioneer Courthouse Square. Portland’s beloved Whole Bowl serves up bowls of brown rice and bean deliciousness that are free of gluten and wheat.

Dinner: Culinary All-stars Kann When it comes to culinary star power, Portland’s trailblazing chefs turn heads. The city has a decades-old reputation for bountiful produce and farm-to-fork eateries. But in recent years, local chefs have garnered international acclaim and competed with heavyweights in larger cities to score coveted awards. Here we introduce a few trending chefs and the much-loved restaurants earning the buzz. Each year the “Oscars of food,” the James Beard Awards, recognizes culinary trendsetters around the country. Lately the Beard Foundation — named after Portland’s own son — has shown a lot of love to creative culinary talents whose food is bold, thoughtful and fun. To get a taste, book a table at Magna Kusina (2525 SE Clinton St.), where Carlo Lamagna — a 2022 Best Chef Northwest & Pacific nominee — serves vibrant Filipino dishes that are both beautiful and delicious. At Berlu (605 SE Belmont St.), Vince Nguyen, the 2023 Best Chef Northwest & Pacific winner, offers Vietnamese-style gluten- and dairy-free baked goods. Portland has also seen the stratospheric rise of fellow nominees Katy Millard of the cozy date-night standout Coquine (6839 SE Belmont St.) and Bonnie Morales of Kachka (960 SE 11th Ave.), where famous dishes such as Herring Under a Fur Coat are not what your Russian grandmother used to make. Go for the house-infused vodkas paired with caviar as a different take on happy hour or a late-night adventure. Fans of “Top Chef: Portland” — set against the culinary backdrop of the Rose City and other regions of Oregon in 2021 — may want to try some of contestant Gabriel Pascuzzi’s tasty fare in person. You can visit either of his two Portland restaurants: Mama FROM LEFT: JUAN JOSE SANCHEZ; STEVE FREIHON Bird (2145 NW Raleigh St.) and the popular grain-bowl eatery, Feel Good PDX (1120 SE Belmont St.). Also try Korean food by Best Chef Northwest nominee Peter Cho of Han Oak (511 NE 24th Ave.), or some of the city’s favorite pho at Ha VL (2738 SE 82nd Ave.) and Rose VL Deli (6424 SE Powell Blvd.) by Peter Vuong. The award-winning chicken and rice at Nong’s Khao Man Gai (417 SW 13th Ave.) is a simple but transformative dish — and a food cart turned brick-and-mortar success story by the energetic Nong Poonsukwattana. Portland’s top pizza is a tough contest, but most stand by Sarah Minnick’s wood-fired pies at Lovely’s Fifty Fifty (4039 N. Mississippi Ave.) or the standard-setting slices at Ken’s Artisan Pizza (304 SE 28th Ave.) by acclaimed chef Ken Forkish, author of “Flour, Water, Salt, Yeast,” considered to be a bible for bakers.

COURTESY OF WILLAMETTE VALLEY VINEYARDS FOOD & DRINK Willamette Valley Vineyards’ Tualatin Estate
Oregon’s wines often outshine some of the world’s finest labels. Less trafficked than California’s Napa Valley, the experience in Oregon is typically more intimate, with winemakers themselves pouring glasses for their guests. PLANNING A TASTING TOUR You’ll find the biggest clusters of wineries within an hour’s drive of Portland in two designated grape-growing areas. Positioned south of Portland, the Willamette Valley is home to two-thirds of the state’s wineries and vineyards (more than 700 at last count). Due to its cool climate, the area is recognized as one of the premier pinot noir-producing areas in the world, though it’s also turning out award-winning pinot gris, pinot blanc, chardonnay and more. Tour Oregon’s Wine Country Many world-class wineries are just a short drive from downtown. To the east of the city, the Columbia River Gorge’s diverse microclimates mean wineries here turn out an astonishing variety of wines. You can sample as many as 40 varietals grown in the vineyards here, many you might not associate with Oregon. You can explore wine country at any time of the year, though the best times to go are summer (perfect vineyard-viewing weather) and fall (spectacularly colorful foliage). In addition to the hundreds of wineries carpeting the region, cozy bed-and-breakfasts and classic Northwest restaurants make it easy to turn a day trip into an extended stay. THE WILLAMETTE VALLEY In 2016 Wine Enthusiast magazine named the Willamette Valley its top wine region of the year. It’s easy to see why. As other Domaine Willamette ZACH MCKINLEY / SPROUTBOX 23 PortlandUncovered.com
regions become increasingly corporate, the industry in the Willamette Valley American Viticultural Area (AVA) is still dominated by family-owned wineries and specialty boutiques. With the valley’s well-marked tasting rooms, it’s easy to embark on a self-guided wine tour. Here are a few favorite stops. Start with the pioneering Ponzi Vineyards, which has some of the oldest pinot noir vines in the state. Ponzi operates a state-of-the-art winery and modern tasting room in Sherwood, which has lovely views of the Chehalem Mountains and Avellana Vineyard. Just north of Dundee on Highway 99W is Newberg, the gateway to the northern Willamette Valley. This small town has a few lauded restaurants and a wonderful pocket of wineries. Try REX HILL, which has been crafting pinot noir for more than 30 years. The estate vineyards, including the crown jewel Jacob-Hart Vineyard, are certified Biodynamic farms, and the winery itself is LIVE certified. The Willamette Valley AVA comprises nine sub-appellations. Just north of Salem, the Eola-Amity Hills AVA moves at a less-hurried pace than some of the busy wine-touring routes nearer Portland. The Eola-Amity Hills harbor a handful of exceptional small-lot and estate wineries — including Cherry Hill Winery, Mystic Wines, Brooks Wine and Lingua Franca. THE COLUMBIA RIVER GORGE Just an hour east of Portland on I-84 sits the Columbia River Gorge wine region, a 40-mile stretch where wine lovers have access to no less than 40 premium varietals. Here an extraordinary combination of climate, soil and geology creates distinctly different microclimates that are perfect for growing a wide variety of grapes. From albariño to zinfandel, this viticulture brings distinctive taste, balance and vibrancy to a range of classic varietals. As you enter the gorge, you’ll find Hood River to be a relaxing hub for wine tasting as well as all sorts of outdoor recreation. Visit locals’ favorite Phelps Creek Vineyards, where the sunny patio enjoys unobstructed views of Mt. Hood, and pet-friendly Wy’East Vineyards, with its lovely picnic areas and bocce ball courts. Just 10 miles east of Hood River, plan to stop in the quieter burg of Mosier, where Analemma Wines’ vineyard offers spectacular views of the valley below. REGIONAL WINE FESTIVALS For a celebratory introduction to Oregon’s wine scene, plan a visit around one of the numerous gatherings and festivals happening throughout the year. Festivities include tasting new releases and older vintages, barrel tastings, specialty foods and sales of limited-quantity wines. One of the region’s marquee events, the International Pinot Noir Celebration draws wine lovers to McMinnville in late July to sample regional vintages. Oenophiles, take note: You won’t want to miss two other Willamette Valley traditions — Wine Country Thanksgiving and Memorial Weekend in the Wine Country. Many wineries require reservations, so check ahead before you go. BOEDECKER CELLARS WINERY, TASTING ROOM & BOTTLE SHOP 2621 NW 30th Ave., Portland 503.224.5778, BoedeckerCellars.com Discover the essence of the Willamette Valley at Boedecker Cellars in Northwest Portland.

The next frontier for Oregon wine looks a little different than you might expect: Trade the gently rolling landscapes in the Chehalem Mountains or Dundee Hills for converted industrial spaces, where self-starting vintners craft some of the Pacific Northwest’s most lip-smacking wines without a vine in sight. Whatever you miss in pastoral ambience is made up for with an approachable and unpretentious tasting-room culture. And with close to two dozen wineries across the city, you can easily spend a day visiting tasting rooms, sipping through the urban wine scene one flight at a time. For a broad selection of local wines, head to Division Winemaking Company (2005 SE Eighth Ave.), a winery and tasting room set in an airy and modern space. Here you’ll find Loire Valley-inspired wines such as gamay noir and sauvignon blanc made with Oregon fruit. Owned by urban wine pioneers, the winery often hosts seasonal On the Urban Wine Trail Trendsetting vintners craft wines in the heart of the city. events and pop-up pizza nights. Another must-visit across the Willamette River is Enso Winery (1416 SE Stark St.). Set in a renovated mechanic shop with leafy vines cascading over the brick-covered entrance, the lively atmosphere is welcoming for all, whether you’re new to wines or a connoisseur. The menu includes wine flights and snacky bites. As with all Oregon wineries, it’s best to make a reservation for the best experience. Other excellent urban tasting rooms include Hip Chicks Do Wine (4510 SE 23rd Ave.), Helioterra Wines (2025 SE Seventh Ave.), Battle Creek Cellars (820 NW 13th Ave.) and Boedecker Cellars (2621 NW 30th Ave.). At family-run Fullerton Wines (1966 NW Pettygrove St.), you can pair your pinot flight with seasonal bistro fare. Best of all, you can tour the urban wineries by foot, bicycle or rideshare — all the while discovering some of the city’s most lively neighborhoods.

With high-quality water and ingredients and an overflowing well of creativity, the city’s makers are producing barrels upon barrels of award-winning bourbon, vodka, gin, whiskey, brandy, liqueurs and other exciting spirits.

Portland’s craft-beer revolution is going on four decades now, known for a style all its own. Hop-forward IPAs are certainly a favorite here, but it hardly stops there. Brewers — including more and more female brewmasters at the helm — are always working on their next seasonal innovations, whether it’s a tart and refreshing sour or a dark and toasty stout. Breakside Brewery’s IPA has taken home multiple gold medals, one of the best in the country. Widmer Brothers and Deschutes Brewery are granddaddies of Portland’s scene, while buzzy newcomers like Von Ebert Brewing, Level Beer, Baerlic Brewing and Upright Brewing bring a fresh mix of styles, flavors and ambience.

NASHCO PHOTO Dress Like a Local Find vintage, sporty and made-here styles in dozens of independent boutiques. If you haven’t already heard, Oregon doesn’t have sales tax. That’s as good a reason as any to splurge a little, right? The diverse retail scene could keep spirited shoppers on the prowl for days. But to get the quintessentially Portland look — a casual, playful take on Western and athletic styles — you’ll want to explore the city’s alluring mixture of vintage shops, fashion-forward boutiques and storefronts dedicated to handcrafted goods. Here are a few favorite outfitters that line racks with everything from one-of-a-kind consignment finds to budding contemporary designers. VINTAGE GOODS Portland’s fondness for vintage verges on obsession. The city has nearly 50 vintage retailers, each catering to a wide array of styles. Whether you seek a 1920s flapper gown, a “Mad Men”-style suit or a Pendleton button-up, there’s a good chance you’ll find exactly what you’re looking for at one of these fine purveyors of garb from bygone eras. A good bet for styles that scream local is Red Light Clothing Exchange (3590 SE Hawthorne Blvd.), a thrifty store that fills two huge rooms with everything from sequined dresses to smells-like-teen-spirit flannel. Just a few blocks away, House of Vintage (3315 SE Hawthorne Blvd.) has an overwhelming selection of secondhand goods from more than 60 independent dealers in 13,000 square feet of retail space. If you seek fancier attire, a number of Portland’s vintage boutiques cater to more refined tastes. Visiting celebrities frequent Xtabay Vintage (2515 SE Clinton St.), the go-to spot for one-of-a-kind party dresses and glamorous accessories. And don’t forget to visit Hollywood Vintage (2757 NE Pacific St.) and browse the impressive selection of vintage eyewear; with more than 1,000 frames from the ’20s onward, you’ll certainly find something to complete that dandy outfit.

GET LOST IN POWELL’S CITY OF BOOKS Rediscover the lost art of thumbing through pages in Powell’s City of Books (1005 W. Burnside St.), a decades-old landmark that you might describe as Portland’s take on the legendary Library of Alexandria. Bordering the upscale Pearl District and trendy West End, Powell’s rises three stories and occupies an entire city block. The store has around 1 million volumes lining its seemingly endless shelves — a measure of how much Portlanders love reading. Powell’s clerks will happily hand you a map upon entering the store, but getting lost is one of the most pleasurable ways of exploring the nine color-coded rooms housing 3,500-plus different sections. Don’t miss the Rare Book Room, an attraction in its own right that features out-of-print and hard-tofind volumes. Additionally, a large selection of books for children and young adults will keep the kids entertained for hours. When you need to refuel, head to the coffee room to grab a locally roasted cup o’ joe from Guilder Cafe. Powell’s City of Books CONTEMPORARY BOUTIQUES Anyone under the impression that Portlanders are an exclusively flannel-clad crowd should spend a day shopping in the city’s contemporary boutiques, which specialize in apparel, footwear, jewelry and on-trend accessories — especially streetwear and athleisure. Here you’ll experience an independent designer-led scene that’s recently come into its own. An obvious place to start in the West End is at shopping alley Union Way (1022 W. Burnside St.), which makes a convenient jumping-off point to explore other nearby boutiques. This modern take on an Old World arcade packs nine eclectic retailers into a full city block, including footwear icon Danner. One block away, Wildfang (404 SW 10th Ave.) fills a corner gallery with tomboy-inspired styles. Within a several-block radius, you’ll find a number of other woman-owned shops such as Odessa (1122 SW Morrison St.) and Frances May (521 SW 10th Ave.), making this Portland’s emerging center of fashion. International streetwear takes the spotlight at Machus (1101 SW Alder St.), which focuses on noteworthy menswear designers from around the world, including limited-edition adidas Originals collaborations. An inconspicuous, gallerylike space embodies an avant-garde spirit: Stand Up Comedy (511 SW Broadway) curates a selection of uncommon apparel, books, and other surreal and absurd objects. While vintage may reign on Hawthorne, COMMUNION (3556 SE Hawthorne Blvd.) displays a contemporary take on streetwear classics for men and women, with labels culled from around the world. Frances May Tender Loving Empire HANDMADE GOODS Nothing exemplifies Portland’s style better than goods made right here. This is, in fact, a city of makers — meaning a dedication to craft and handmade products defines a number of standout retailers. For an overview of the maker culture, pop into MadeHere PDX (40 NW 10th Ave.), which showcases locally produced goods ranging from jewelry and cosmetics to outerwear and handbags. Tender Loving Empire (412 SW 10th Ave.) has been a mainstay for artful gift buyers in Portland for more than a decade.
