King's Raven Winery is a family-owned vineyard and tasting room in Oregon City, in Oregon's East Willamette Valley, farmed by the same family since 1942 and producing estate-grown wines since 1999. The winemaking follows an old-world, Burgundian terroir style: grapes are hand-harvested and foot-stomped, fermented with indigenous yeast at ambient temperature, and aged two to three years in barrel before bottle aging. The estate grows Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Riesling, Gewürztraminer, and several less-common varietals including Phoenix, Léon Millot, and Maréchal Foch. Beyond wine tastings, the property hosts a recurring calendar of gatherings, from sunset happy hours with live music and wood-fired pizza to open-air Movie Nights in the Vineyard, where a natural, tiered amphitheater is transformed into an outdoor cinema under string lights. The tasting room offers indoor seating and a covered outdoor patio with heaters and a wood-burning stove, accommodating both small groups and larger parties by reservation.

Tucked among the high-rises of Portland's Pearl District, Tanner Springs Park is a 0.92-acre urban wetland that recalls the marshland and creek that once ran through the neighborhood before the city grew up around it. A winding boardwalk crosses a shallow pond planted with native wetland species, offering a quiet, green counterpoint to the surrounding streets — a setting well suited to small ceremonies and gatherings on the boardwalk. The park's centerpiece is an art wall built from 368 reclaimed railroad tracks set with 99 pieces of fused glass depicting dragonflies, spiders, and amphibians, alongside additional public art installations throughout the grounds. Designed by Atelier Dreiseitl and GreenWorks, P.C. following community input in 2003, the park opened in 2005 and uses natural systems to manage stormwater, reflecting its origins as part of historic Couch Lake and the Tanner Creek wetlands. Owned and managed by Portland Parks & Recreation, Tanner Springs Park is open daily from 5:00am to midnight and is free to visit.
