Agenda

Monday, August 21

Eclipse viewing trip (optional)

5:00

Depart from the White Stag Building in Portland (70 NW Couch St, Portland, OR 97209)

9:00 – 12:00

Eclipse viewing at the Sokol Blosser Winery in Dayton, OR

Sokol Blosser in a family-run and operated winery outside of Dayton in Dundee, Oregon. Nestled in the Willamette Valley, Sokol Blosser is home to the perfect environment for the Pinot Noir grape and the winery takes great pride in producing a world-class Pinot Noir. Focused on sustainability, the winery became the first U.S. winery to receive LEED Certification in 2002 and became a Certified B Corporation in 2015. The tasting room and event space was designed by Allied Works Architecture and engineered by KPFF.
