Alba-Alba: A Celebration of Oregon Albariño & Albacore

The world's first Oregon Albacore and Albariño festival, featuring winemakers, fishermen, & tastings.

On Saturday, Alba-Alba: La Gran Tasting brings together 14 Albariño producers from Oregon, Washington, California, Spain, Portugal, and Japan for an afternoon celebrating one of the world's most seafood-friendly wines alongside Oregon's iconic Albacore tuna fishery.

Guests will have the opportunity to taste a diverse range of Albariños from across the globe, meet the winemakers behind the bottles, and discover how regional differences, climate, and winemaking styles shape this vibrant coastal grape.

Oregon Albacore takes center stage throughout the event. Representatives from the Oregon Albacore Commission and local fishermen will be on hand to share stories from the fishery, answer questions, and offer insight into the sustainable practices that have made Oregon-caught Albacore one of the West Coast's most celebrated seafoods.

Chef Jeff Kim of Aji Fish Butchery will serve a featured Oregon Albacore bite available for purchase, while Mac Market favorites Alea Bakery and Honeypie offer additional Albacore-centric food options throughout the afternoon. Guests are encouraged to grab a glass of wine, explore the market, and build their own pairings while enjoying the vibrant atmosphere of Mac Market.

Cornerstones of Restoration Talk

Hosted by Berry Creek Garden in the Airstream area:

TICKETS HERE

Tending the relationship between your garden and our valley’s native pollinators.

Our landscape is held together by ancient biological partnerships between native plants and pollinators. This interplay helps ensure the Willamette Valley’s biodiversity remains vibrant and resilient.

When we move beyond traditional landscaping and focus on the relationships between our garden plants and native pollinators, we are not simply planting flowers. We are restoring a critical ecological foundation.

Join us for a 60-minute workshop exploring the relationships between native pollinators and keystone plant species, along with simple, practical actions you can take to support and protect pollinators throughout their life cycles.

Meet Robin Geck
After 40 years of gardening, Robin was inspired by entomologist Doug Tallamy to take a deeper dive into native plant restoration. She now dedicates her time to restoring habitat and helping her community garden with native pollinators in mind. A certified Pollinator Steward, Robin tends Carlton’s pollinator garden and continues her work as a student and advocate for everyday actions that strengthen the valley’s ecosystems.
