Wine Walk Wednesday: Sellwood

I am hoping to start a new tradition: every 2nd Wednesday let's take a relaxed walk or short hike while exploring the cute little wine bars in the Portland area neighborhoods. This coming Wednesday we will check out Sellwood. Now I know it is short notice, but the weather on Wednesday looks promising. And it's a mid-week holiday, which means we can make an early start!

Here is our itinerary (feel free to join up part way through):

3:30pm: Meet at Oaks Bottom Wildlife Refuge - North Parking & Trailhead, located at SE Milwaukie Avenue and SE Mitchell Street in SE Portland, 97202. If you are taking public transit, Bus 70 also stops right out front. We will be hiking roughly 2 miles through Oaks Bottom to Sellwood Park. From there, we will proceed to....The Portland Bottle Shop.

4:30pm-6pm: The Portland Bottle Shop, 7960 SE 13th Ave, Portland, OR 97202. Feel free to meet us here if you want to skip the hike. The Portland Bottle Shop offers over 400 wines and 200 beers from around the world, as well as ciders and other specialty beverages. They also serve hand-crafted sandwiches, East Coast inspired subs, soups and salads.

6:30: Corkscrew Wine Bar, 1665 SE Bybee Ave, Portland, OR 97202. It's a half mile walk to the Wine Bar from the Bottle Shop. Corkscrew is woman-owned and offers curated wines by the glass, flights, and small bites. They also feature live music and events. This Wednesday, jazz guitarist, Jack Radsliff will be playing from 7-9pm.

8pm: Walk back to the North Parking & Trailhead (1 mile), Bus 70 also runs along this route.

Feel free to join us or drop out at any point along the route. Just communicate with me about what your plans are so I can let the venues know what to expect. I am opening up 15 slots.
