The first-ever Great American Wine Festival is coming to Portland on Saturday, November 16th, 2013. The Festival will take place the day after the industry Wine Tourism Conference, which draws wineries and winery associations from throughout North America.

This is your opportunity to try wines you have never before tried, including wines from areas such as the New York Finger Lakes region, Ohio, Ontario, and Missouri in addition to wines from California and right here in Oregon.

While the GAWF is new, Zephyr Adventure's contacts in the wine industry have allowed the company to pull together a strong team of promotional partners, including entities such as Yelp, Whole Foods, LocalWineEvents.com, Travel Oregon, King Estate winery, industry trade group WineAmerica, Foodista.com, and half a dozen others.

"The Great American Wine Festival is a natural fit, as it will bring wine, food and travel consumers and trade together with many under explored wine regions throughout North America," says Eric Orange, CEO of LocalWineEvents.com. "Our readers already love all things food & wine related, so we're sure they will support the new Great American Wine Festival in November as it brings a chance to try many new wines."

As a partner, we are able to offer our readers a special discounted ticket of $30 ($45 VIP). When buying the tickets use the promo code LWEGAWF. There are only 400 tickets available, so don't wait!
