The Maker’s Table | A Winemaker Dinner Series

Portland Art Museum Venues invites you to The Maker’s Table—an intimate evening series bringing together Oregon winemakers and visual artists for a one-of-a-kind experience of wine, art and conversation. Held after hours in the Museum’s stunning new Rothko Pavillion, each evening explores the creative process behind both disciplines. Guests are invited not to simply taste and observe, but to engage; discovering how inspiration takes shape, how tension fuels beauty, and how artistry evolves over time.   This season of our Maker’s Table Series will include five unforgettable events—each featuring a different visual artist represented by the Portland Art Museum’s Rental Sales Gallery paired with an Oregon winery. Guests may choose from three experiences: the Tasting Experience (6 – 8 p.m.), the Maker’s Table Dinner (Tasting + Dinner), or for the Collector’s Table Dinner Series, which includes tickets to all five events.  Tasting Experience (6 – 8 p.m.) | $135 A conversation driven, walk-around tasting in the Rothko Pavillion’s Community Commons featuring curated wine pours, seasonal passed appetizers, and artwork on view throughout the space.  The experience includes a moderated conversation between the featured winemaker and visual artist.  Seated Winemaker Dinner | $295  Begin the evening with the Pre-Dinner Tasting followed by a three-course, plated dinner with curated wine pairings, and a chef-driven menu.  This meal will take place in the Rothko Pavilion’s third floor gallery, overlooking both the city and the museum’s magnificent Grand Gallery.  Guests will be joined by that evening’s featured winemaker and visual artist for a more intimate continuation of the conversation.
