The Maker’s Table | A Winemaker Dinner Series at the Portland Art Museum.

Art, Wine, and Conversation

Portland Art Museum Venues invites you to The Maker’s Table - an intimate evening series bringing together Oregon winemakers and visual artists for a one-of-a-kind experience of wine, art and conversation.

Held after hours in the Museum’s stunning new Rothko Pavillion, each evening explores the creative process behind both disciplines. Guests are invited not to simply taste and observe, but to engage; discovering how inspiration takes shape, how tension fuels beauty, and how artistry evolves over time.

This season of our Maker’s Table Series will include five unforgettable events - each featuring a different visual artist represented by the Portland Art Museum’s Rental Sales Gallery paired with an Oregon winery.

Guests may choose two experiences: the Walk-Around Tasting Experience or the Seated Maker's Table Dinner (Tasting + Dinner).

Featured Winery: Cristom Vineyards | Winemaker Daniel Estrin
For more than 30 years, Cristom Vineyards has crafted distinguished wines of place in Oregon’s Eola Amity Hills, guided by a commitment to traditional techniques including low yields, whole cluster fermentation, and native yeasts. Established in 1992 by the Gerrie family and now led by the second generation, the estate spans 240 acres across a windswept, east facing volcanic slope.

Five estate vineyards are thoughtfully farmed using biodynamic and organic practices that nurture both the land and the people who steward it. Winemaker Daniel Estrin continues this legacy with a focus on precision and expression, working to reveal the purest character of each site.

The resulting wines are elegant, structured, and dynamic, offering a clear reflection of place shaped by care, continuity, and intention.
