Cannon Beach will host wine tastings, wine dinners and a wine walk at the Savor Cannon Beach Wine & Culinary Festival March 12-14

Wine tastings, wine dinners and a wine walk through art galleries and stores are just part of the activities scheduled for Savor Cannon Beach, a weekend wine and culinary festival March 12-14 in Cannon Beach, Oregon. Participants in Saturday’s wine walk purchase a glass for $25 and can visit over 20 Cannon Beach businesses for wine tastings featuring Northwest wineries. The Winter Wine Tour is in its third year and all proceeds benefit the Cannon Beach Children’s Center. The Cannon Beach Chamber of Commerce will offer a selection of wine, food and travel related packages in a silent auction during the wine walk.

This year, numerous other wine, food and art events have been added to the weekend. A Friday night wine tasting at The Ocean Lodge will feature select Oregon wines with an emphasis on Pinot Noir. Brian Doyle, author of “The Grail” will appear at the tasting for a reading and book signing. Doyle’s book documents a full year in the life of Willamette Valley’s Lange Winery where he captures, with wonderful spirit and lively writing, the winemaker’s pursuit of taking the world’s most challenging and celebrated grape to make fine wine. Steve Roberts, author of Wine Trails of Oregon will also appear for a book signing at Cannon Beach Book Company on Saturday beginning at 1pm. Tod Davies, author of “Jam Today, A Diary of Cooking With What You’ve Got,” will speak at the Cannon Beach Library at 2pm on Saturday. Davies learned to cook as an adult and her book is about cooking with the foods you have on hand, rather than trying to follow recipes to the letter. Bring a list of what is in your fridge for creative tips at this free event.
