Visited the store at PDX and our server was very informative. Tried the old fashioned drink and ended up buying a bottle and the carrot honey for the young man gave us the recipe.

Our winemakers Kevin Ross and Bob Switzer became friends on the soccer fields of Portland, Oregon. Based upon their mutual appreciation of great red wines, Kevin and Jill Ross introduced Bob to their winemaking hobby.The wines showed promise, but our challenge was to make them better. Over the next several years we developed our winemaking skills and techniques by channeling our competitive drives, engineering talents and creativity. As our wine improved each year, we wanted more, and so did our friends! Thus Seven Bridges Winery was born. We began producing commercially wines commercially in 2008. We use labor-intensive, manual production techniques to produce our premium, flavorful red wines. Our grapes are handpicked, sorted, and crushed, then fermented in small lots. After a gentle pressing, the wines are aged in French and American oak barrels. We truly hope you enjoy this wine as much as we did making it.We adopted the name Seven Bridges to pay tribute to the spectacular bridges spanning the Willamette River some of which can be seen from our winery, located in downtown Portland, Oregon.

Portland Farmers Market on Portland State University's campus is open year-round! Operating hours are 8:30 am (Mar-Oct) or 9:00 am (Nov-Feb) to 2:00 pm. There is ample street parking, and several parking lots on PSU's campus for easy parking. Multiple bus lines, the Portland Street Car and MAX all run near the market, so we recommend taking public transportation when possible. Bike parking, provided by PSU, is also available.

i love this farmers market because they have everything here. i always get the organic produce here because they are so fresh i can taste the difference. sometimes I get the mint leaves here too when they have them. i wish i could find more herbs here, like thyme and chives and tarragon, etc. we also like getting the fresh bread here too, very tasty.

Their tasting room is nice and modern. There spirits are good if you like fruit infused vodkas but their original is pretty smooth. The prices for vodka is reasonable. That adult Lemonade with peach vodka is sweet and strong. They allow kids by the couch and give virgin lemonades

We just visited the Freeland Spirits establishment this past weekend and had a delightful time. We arranged to take a guided tour of the on site distillery operations, followed by a sampling of their current distilled spirits. We were impressed by the spirits, the tour, the service, and the vision of a new distillery. A woman owned business, they specialize in excellent gin and bourbon production, with both tasting, light meals, and product sales available. The tour lasted about 45 minutes, and was exceptional in how it was led, the information provided, knowledge of the staff (Kacee), and overall organization. After the tour, we were able to sample a selection of their spirits, which resulted in our purchasing some bottles to take home. All in all, Freeland Spirits offers an excellent tour, outstanding service, and fine spirits. An excellent start to a relatively new distiller making a name in the Pacific Northwest. We will be back!
