From Bela Lugosi–era classics to Buffy's Spike to Baldur's Gate's Astarion, the lineup spans a century of vampire media in one seven-day flight. One of Pairings, Portland's most popular past flights, is returning for a limited run. Casual, no wine snobbery required — just characters worth arguing about over a glass.

This ever-popular event will be emceed by local entertainer Enrique E. Andrade, who is a member of the ensemble cast of Marigolds y Memorias, this year’s centerpiece theatrical attraction for the Milagro Central Eastside Muertos Celebration. Originally from Mexico City, Andrade is an accomplished actor and voice-over artist who has appeared in more than two dozen Milagro productions, as well as working at Portland Story Theater and 3rd Angle Music Ensemble. His screen credits include Leverage, Grimm, and The Librarians. The evening’s headline entertainer is Portland’s own Yissel Lopez, who has won over audiences with her captivating Latin pop and Mariachi fusion music.

Guests will dine on a uniquely prepared three-course dinner catered by beloved Portland restauranteur Lucy de Leon, featuring dishes from both her new downtown hotspot, Madrina Cocina Mexicana, and the Eastside La Patroncita, famous for serving up a fusion of time-honored recipes and innovative creations, lovingly prepared with the freshest ingredients and the essence of home. Wine for this special evening is provided by A to Z Wineworks, Oregon’s top-selling wine brand, which pursues its mission to offer dependable, quality wine which is accessible to all.

A guest favorite year after year, our silent auction of unique Mexican artisanal goods will again temp guests with beautiful, one-of-a-kind works of art and other cultural gems. And perhaps most important of all, a major draw of ¡Viva Milagro! is the opportunity to connect and spend time with a room full of Milagro friends and supporters!

Please note that any orders made with credit card are subject to additional processing fees.

For over 40 Seasons, Milagro has been dedicated to bringing the vibrancy of Latino theatre, culture, and art education to audiences in the Pacific Northwest and across the country. We provide a home for artists and audiences seeking authentic Latino cultural experiences. We value creativity and diversity; we welcome the risk of experimentation while respecting tradition; we empower our artists to think creatively and act collaboratively; we are often irreverent but never irrelevant.

In the coming season, we we’ll work hard to keep providing reduced ticket prices for students, to take our bilingual outreach efforts to more communities where the arts are lacking, to transform El Zócalo into a buzzing space for our community groups, and to bring talented artist residents to Milagro. However, we need your help to make this and more happen!

Let’s spend a Sunday doing some good and getting to know each other along the way! Join our 30s & 40s Singles Group to support athletes at Special Olympics Oregon’s Beaverton Regional Aquatics competition on Sunday, November 1.

Expect swimming, teamwork, plenty of cheering, and a chance to connect with other community-minded singles. The event coordinator is excited to have our group help!

We have two exciting ways to participate based on how involved you want to be.

🙌 Path 1: Come volunteer directly with us

No sports knowledge, athletic ability, or previous volunteer experience needed. The Special Olympics Oregon team will train you onsite and assign your role at check-in.

You might help with:

• Athlete escorts: Guide swimmers from staging to their lanes and then to awards.
• Timing: Time races and call the finish order.
• Results: Deliver and record race results.
• Awards: Prepare medals and ribbons and help with presentations.
• Developmental skills: Help with staging, escorting, and timing for the morning skills competition.

Have relevant experience? Let the team know at check-in!

You can choose between a full-day shift of about 8–9 hours or a half-day shift of about 4–4.5 hours, depending on availability.

All volunteers receive a Special Olympics Oregon T-shirt, and full-day volunteers receive lunch.

📝 How to join as a volunteer

1. RSVP here so we know you’re joining our Meetup group.
2. Register directly with Special Olympics Oregon and choose your shift (link here or in comments). Your Meetup RSVP alone does not reserve a volunteer spot.
3. Watch for a Meetup message from me! I’ll check in to confirm your shift, help with questions, and coordinate our group.

Please register promptly if you’d like to volunteer, since shifts have limited spaces. Follow the arrival and check-in instructions for your selected shift.

💛 A small commitment that makes a big difference

The event team relies on registered volunteers to keep the competition running smoothly. Please choose a shift you can commit to attending in full and plan ahead for the day.

Of course, unexpected things happen! If you can no longer volunteer, please notify the Special Olympics coordinator promptly, update your volunteer registration, and update your Meetup RSVP too. Keeping everyone informed as timely as possible gives the team time to adjust.

📣 Path 2: Prefer to cheer? Join the audience!

You can also support the athletes from the sidelines. If committing to volunteering in a shift isn’t the right fit, or the shifts have filled, come enjoy the competition and help us give the swimmers an enthusiastic audience!

Please let me know whether you’re volunteering or coming to cheer, so I can coordinate our group. Only people registered directly with Special Olympics Oregon will be counted as volunteers.

Which ever path you choose, we’re happy to have you!

Come lend a hand, bring your cheering voice, and spend a Sunday supporting our greater Portland community. 💛

91.5% of first dates suck purely because of awkward, dull, boring conversations. Conversational Lube is here to FIX that.

You’re invited to the first real-time, live comedy dating show. Singles will be matched, meet for the first time, then join a comedian on stage (the lube) to have a first date. Yes, audience members will be put on blind dates in real time at the show. That means you, yes, you can come and possibly find your soul mate. (Or at the very least go home with a funny af story.)

Each couple will have a date on the stage and be joined by a licensed professional* (*fully unlicensed comedian) to lube up the conversation, make sure it flows, stays entertaining, and fully capitalize on any weird shit that comes up. (The last part mostly for the sake of the audience and laughs.)

Hosted by stand-up comedian and writer, Cait Chock, who is single for many reasons but not because she can’t dazzle a first conversation. She shines in a first impression, then actively decays like a free radical. She’s a lost cause, but she’s using her conversational skills to help you find love.

No guarantee that you'll find love, but it's guaranteed it will be a helluva lot more fun than another boring and slightly deranged Tinder meet-up. ALL are welcome, even you monsters already happily in love, can come, eat, drink, laugh, and watch everyone else squirm. Apps suck. Approaching strangers in the wild is scary. Hitting on your Trader Joe’s cashier is not cool. A comedy show is your best bet.

Don’t settle for shitty, boring, vanilla conversations…apply conversational lube.

Settle in for a cozy fall evening of watercolor at Tumwater Vineyard. Hayley Elmore of Halo Art and Design leads this two-hour class using Emily Lex’s watercolor workbook as a guide, sharing tips and techniques to help you build your skills. Every guest takes home a workbook to keep practicing.

Irene will be there celebrating the book, with copies available for purchase throughout the evening. Come eat, drink, and learn to party like a Korean. Everyone’s invited.

About the author:

Irene Yoo is a Korean American food writer, recipe developer, chef and co-owner of Brooklyn’s Orion Bar, whose work explores Korean food, drinking traditions, and the culture of gathering around the table.

Join an evening where chefs, winemakers, and farmers come together to share the harvest — an evening of food, land, and community unfolding beneath an open sky. Guests will rotate in small groups to taste a dish and wine pairing developed by three chefs and three winemakers from the roster of TASTE's past partners in three different settings around the estate. Then, come together for dessert and celebration during the golden hour program, culminating with dancing under the stars.

Supporting Adelante Mujeres means investing in the Latine community to cultivate opportunity, leadership, and resilience — strengthening the roots that help communities rise together. In addition to Adelante Mujeres, proceeds from this year's TASTE for Equity Event Series also benefit two additional powerful Portland organizations: APANO, uniting Asian and Pacific Islanders to build power and advance equity, and ELSO Inc., cultivating generations of innovators and problem solvers for local and global impact.

Party bus transportation from a central location in Portland will be offered to all guests for an additional cost at the time of checkout when you purchase your ticket. Please join and extend the evening of fun, and make sure you get home safely.

Friends of La Belle Promenade

Friday, November 20, 2026 | 6:30–9:00 PM
Flâneur Wines at the Carlton Grain Elevator

One vineyard. Many expressions. An evening among friends.

Be part of the first gathering of six esteemed wineries united by one extraordinary site, La Belle Promenade Vineyard. Flâneur Wines, Patricia Green Cellars, Hazelfern Cellars, Suzor Wines, Martin Woods Winery, and Las Jaras Wines will share more than 10 distinct expressions of La Belle Promenade Vineyard, spanning Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, sparkling wine, Pinot Meunier and Aligoté.

The gathering comes at a moment of growing recognition for the vineyard. Wines from La Belle Promenade have earned critical acclaim, including a first-place ranking among Chardonnays for a wine grown entirely from the site at The 1976 Redo international blind tasting.

The evening will unfold as an intimate, cocktail-style tasting for just 65 guests, with winemakers and winery teams pouring their wines, sharing stories, and offering their unique perspectives on the vineyard through relaxed conversation.

Our friends at Hayward—named one of The New York Times’ 2026 America’s Best Restaurants and recognized by the James Beard Foundation—will bring their signature seasonal cooking to an abundant, Friendsgiving-inspired spread. Rather than a seated dinner, expect a festive experience designed for grazing gathering. Think a little retro holiday party, a little harvest feast, and very Hayward.

Spanning three different valleys in the southern part of the State — Umpqua, Rogue, and Applegate — the Southern Oregon AVA is home to hundreds of vineyards and wineries that get little attention to the north.

Unique soil types, combined with moderate Pacific Ocean airflow and less precipitation create a Mediterranean microclimate perfect for growing wine grapes traditionally found in warmer European sites, like Portugal, Spain, and southern France. And yet, with the addition of some steeper, high-elevation, North-facing vineyards, so too are cooler climate grapes like Pinot Noir and Chardonnay cultivated. We taste through nine different wines from Southern Oregon that you will want to add to your home wine cellar!

Join us at Domaine Lumineux for a special screening of Priscilla (2023), written and directed by Sofia Coppola and based on Priscilla Presley's memoir Elvis and Me.

Starring Cailee Spaeny as Priscilla Presley and Jacob Elordi as Elvis, this beautifully crafted biographical drama explores one of America's most famous relationships from a rarely seen perspective: hers.

From their first meeting in Germany to their life together at Graceland, Priscilla takes audiences behind the glamour of rock and roll to reveal a more intimate story of young love, identity, and the complicated realities of life alongside a cultural icon.

Settle into our intimate 18-seat screening room and enjoy an evening of film and wine. Tickets are $25 per person and include freshly popped popcorn, with Domaine Lumineux wines available for purchase by the glass or bottle.

Academy Wine Club members receive a complimentary glass of wine with their ticket.

Seating is limited, and reservations are required.

Inspired by (but not beholden to) France’s beloved Beaujolais Nouveau celebration, our one-day festival brings the joy and energy of harvest to the heart of Oregon wine country with a uniquely local twist.

Every year, harvest workers and interns descend on the Willamette Valley to harvest the bounty of the vines, work hard for several weeks, and then complete the job without so much as a toast raised to their hard work. Winemakers go straight from the vineyards to the cellars to the tasting rooms.

We hope this festival can be our community’s “thank you” to all those who make this industry happen.

At its core, Newveau is about connection. Nick and Branden are always looking for ways to bring people together and build connections (and of course, have a heckuva time). We saw this as a chance for our community to come together with the winemakers, growers, harvest crews, and culinary artists who make this region thrive.

The festival invites everyone—from curious newcomers to lifelong wine lovers—to enjoy vibrant nouveau-style wine releases, cozy seasonal food, and the laid-back charm of a town that knows how to celebrate.

We honor the hard work behind the bottle—especially the harvest workers whose hands make the magic happen—and we do it in true Newberg fashion: warm, welcoming, and unpretentious. Come raise a glass with us on November 20, 2026 to those who make it all happen!

ALL moms are welcome to this lil happy hour: divorced moms, single moms, partnered moms, mom-types — come hang. AKA COOL MOMS. One glass of wine or N/A cocktail is included in the ticket price. As is a delicious spread of food catered by our lovely friends at Guilder.

Join us for a relaxed pre-Thanksgiving gathering featuring Compris wines, comforting seasonal flavors, and an opportunity to give back to our community. Sip through a curated flight of Compris wines while discovering bottles perfect for your own holiday table, paired alongside a Thanksgiving-inspired slider crafted by Biscuit & Pickles.

This year’s featured pairing includes an apple cider braised turkey slider with honeyed sweet potato aioli, parsnip mirepoix stuffing, housemade spiced cranberry jelly, and toasted brioche, served with chips. A grilled portobello option will be available for vegetarian guests.

Tickets are $35 per person ($25 for club members) and include the tasting flight and seasonal pairing. Plus, $5 from every ticket sold will be donated directly to the Newberg Animal Shelter, our featured charity for the quarter. Guests will also have the opportunity to learn more about the shelter and contribute further during the event.

As a thank you, each ticket fee will be waived with the purchase of three bottles or more.

We hope you’ll join us as we gather around the table to celebrate good wine, good food, and giving back before the holiday season begins.

A six-course, vegetarian-friendly mushroom tasting menu accompanied with Oregon wine pairings, benefiting the James Beard Public Market. Seatings are at 7:30pm and 8:00pm on November 4, 5, and 6. Tickets are $200 per person and reservations are by phone only.

Their humorous delivery of crowd-favorite originals along with a unique interpretation of the classics produce an irresistible urge to move, to laugh, to cry and to applaud.

Celebrate the start of the holiday season with an afternoon of creativity, wine, and festive cheer at Knudsen Vineyards. Join Karie Timmerman of Willow Out West for a hands-on wreath building workshop where you’ll create a beautifully customized holiday wreath to take home.

Each guest will receive a roughly 22-inch fresh evergreen wreath with the greens already professionally assembled, allowing you to focus on the fun and creative part — decorating your wreath with a wide variety of seasonal materials including ribbon, bows, pinecones, dried orange slices, cinnamon sticks, ornaments, and more.

All tools and supplies will be provided.

Your ticket also includes a glass of your choice of Family Series Chardonnay or Pinot Noir to enjoy during the workshop.

Karie will share helpful design tips and techniques before guiding guests through the process, while still allowing plenty of room for personal creativity and customization. No experience is necessary.

Workshop Details:
• November 21
• Approximately 90 minutes
• $75 per guest ($60 for Wine Club Members)
