The Portland Cheese and Meat Artisan Food & Beverage Festival is a single-day tasting event at Montgomery Park in Portland that brings together regional cheesemakers, charcuterie producers, craft beverage partners, and specialty food vendors. Attendees move through vendor booths at their own pace to sample curated pairings of cheeses, cured meats, condiments and a range of wines, beers, ciders and other beverages. The festival showcases small, artisanal producers from the Pacific Northwest and emphasizes discovery of new specialty food brands and thoughtful pairings.
