Great Music! My wife and I have attended this festival off and on for the past 10 years. We come up from LA to spend time with our friends in Portland, and we make this our 'weekend hang' when we are visiting them. It has great music, and a nice selection of wine and arts. This year they have a good mix of straight-ahead jazz, smooth jazz, blues, and more. Looks good!

This is one of our favorite events in the Northwest, and it's become one of the best jazz festivals on the west coast. We drive down from Seattle every year to see our Portland friends, and enjoy this festival. They always have world-class jazz and blues acts, really excellent wines and fine artists from all over Oregon and Washington. Great lineup for 2017 too!

Hopefully 2015 will be better than last year. The festival seems to be going downhill, almost as if they are trying to kill it. Same entertainment as previous years- while good, let's get some new blood PLEASE! And the wines? They contract in the big name distributors, so we see way too many California and supermarket mass produced wines. Meanwhile, we are living in the Northwest- home to some of the most amazing wines in the world!! Maryhill is local, but they are no where near as good as whats from Oregon or even farther out in the Washington hills. And then there is the food. We are a captive audience inside the fence. We need to eat. Last year it was hot dogs and fried food, and basically that was all!! Nothing that goes with wine (cheese? Pizza?) and nothing edible. This could again be a wonderful, worldwide event if the right people got their acts together. Esther Short park is the perfect place for this. Bring back the glory days. Get decent wine, food & music!!

I wanted to take a nap after I ate my commercialized buffet noodles. The music was quiet, and non existent at times. Big waste of money. I thought for the price there would have been some reason to go, but this is the lamest festival in town. More like Vancouver Commercial Wine & Sleep Festival.

So not worth the $30 price. I'll take part of the blame because I did not know I had to bring my own lawn chair to this event, so it was very uncomfortable sitting on the grass for an extended period of time. Food was subpar, county fair style; got some dense starchy noodles from a hawaiian food stall. Wine was ok, nothing special, but they must have had volunteers manning the booths, because the people working had no knowledge or excitement about their product. The one act I saw was great, unfortunately the whole event was not conducive to sticking around for more. I should have just walked away when they made me leave my water bottles at the door... seems like others got the hint as there were more attendees at the farmers market next door than at the wine festival.
