A Taste of Oregon Wine Exhibit, Oct. 9

Due to the overwhelming response to Clink! A Taste of Oregon Wine, the Oregon Historical Society has developed a traveling version of the exhibition to debut November 1, 2014 at the Allison Inn & Spa in Newberg. Adapted from the Portland-based museum exhibition, which was on display from June 6-September 20, the traveling version includes 12 colorful banners with photographs and text illustrating the history of the flourishing Oregon wine industry. Two iPads with stands provide digital interactive experiences to complement the graphics. Visitors may scroll through and view wine-related objects dating back to the 19th century through a digitized artifact catalog. A virtual AVA map with touch screen capability gives wine enthusiasts the chance to explore the major winegrowing areas of Oregon and learn about typical wine varietals grown in each part of the state. The exhibition will be available for rental in 2015 and is booking quickly. Please contact Lori Erickson, OHS Curator, at 503-306-5233 for rental inquiries, or visit http://ohs.org/exhibits/traveling-exhibits/clink/. About Clink! A Taste of Oregon Wine –
