This month’s International Special Events Society meeting was an absolute blast! Each year the group plans a field trip excursion and this year’s event was like none other. It began in the parking lot of Henry V where ISES members boarded the brand new Double Decker PDX Bus. First stop — Cathedral Ridge Winery. We had the opportunity to taste a handful of Cathedral Ridge’s wines and wander throughout the beautiful vineyard. The views were absolutely spectacular and paired quite nicely with the wine.
During the bus ride, Wild Bill’s provided awesome entertainment with a traveling team building activity. Everyone really had to put their thinking caps on and of course, the wine helped too.
From Cathedral Ridge Winery the next stop was Columbia Cliff Villas. Hors d’oeuvres were provided by White Buffalo Wine Bar & Bistro and they were absolutely exquisite. The view overlooking the Columbia River couldn’t be better.
We then walked over to the historic Columbia Gorge Hotel for champagne and desserts. Needless to say, we were quite full and ready to make our way back in to Portland. And the best was saved for last, when we had our final journey on the Double Decker PDX back in to town as the sun was setting.
Thank you to all the vendors who made the event such a wonderful success.
