An extension of the Oregon State University. It's all about Seafood! First a quick tour of this new facility, dedicated to seafood preparation, first of its kind on the west coast. Cooking tips, purchasing tips and professional ideas are some of the skills you will learn. After a live presentation and tasting program, you will know the secrets in preparing seafood. After a short drive to "The Cellar", enjoy Oregon wines while you learn about your senses and how to put them to use right away for enjoying and understanding Oregon's wines.

Oregon's northern latitude brings long hours of summer sunshine to its vineyards, usually adequate to fully ripen grapes for Oregon wines. Occasional marine breezes breach the Coastal range, and help moderate the combination of these conditions encourages complex fruit flavors, aromatics and nuances in these northern-Oregon grown wines, complexities that allow Oregon wineries to compete well with other world-class wineries. Pinot Gris, Riesling, Chardonnay, and our delightful Pinot noir are among our favorites. You will return to the ship wiser and with a souvenir recipe packet.
