    We have tickets and really want to invite friends that never been to carlton

    • Bronwyn Ewers on July 18, 2024 at 5:01 pm

      What an epic night. I’ve never been to Italy, but this sounds like a heavenly Tuscan dream right in my back yard in Willamette valley. Would love to win. Thank you

      • Karla on July 30, 2024 at 5:39 pm

        Experiencing Italy in Oregon sounds like a night to remember 😀 & even better attending with a loved one 🥂

    • Brittany Bonafede on July 31, 2024 at 1:33 pm

      My husband is half Italian by ancestry so it would be a great way to celebrate his heritage.

  2. Perry on June 18, 2024 at 2:09 pm

    This would be a great way to prep for our trip to Italy in Sept!

  3. Ashley McMurtrey on June 18, 2024 at 2:09 pm

    What would be better than wine tasting and delicious food! It will be my big event for the summer as I ruptured my Achilles 6 weeks ago and will finally be fully mobile by then! Plus it would be a lovely, kid free day date for me and the hubs

  4. Shirley on June 18, 2024 at 2:12 pm

    This sounds awesome!

    • Danielle on June 23, 2024 at 4:55 pm

    The timing is perfect for us. We’ll be moving to a new home in July. We should be settled before August 18. Winning tickets would be helpful, as our budget will be tight for a while.

  9. Terri on June 18, 2024 at 3:17 pm

    As Dean Martin would say “Oh Little Old Wine Drinker Me, would love to drink the vino at the Italian Festival, yes please!

  10. Sharon Gary-Smith on June 18, 2024 at 3:22 pm

    Our currently unsettling ‘fallish’ summer ups and downs are taking their toll on my usually pleasant disposition.
    I know my mood would be improved with the thrill of celebrating that hoped-for-change if I could sip wine, eat good food and mingle and make new friends with tickets to Italy in the Valley in Carlton on August 18th.

  11. Jennifer on June 18, 2024 at 3:38 pm

    Ciao! Il tuo evento sembra assolutamente fantastico!

    From Pulia to Chianti Classico to Prosecco to Nebbiolo, adoro il vino italiano!

    Being a newly minted wine nerd via WSET, (that needs a *slight break from Pinot Noir) I’m now searching out all of the Italian style wine that this incredible Willamette valley (and Columbia) has to offer.

    So What Better Place than your festival to do that?!

    BTW: La pasta è il cibo perfetto.

We need to catch up, hug, and take a breath after what can only be described as one tough year. We each had unique challenges. We got through them-and, the heat. We could use a break to enjoy life. Enjoying it with good food and Oregon wine would be amazing! Cheers!

  103. Purps Slurps on July 17, 2024 at 10:36 am

    Ah, allow me to elucidate why indulging in wine amidst the picturesque expanses of wine country is the epitome of refined pleasure. The sheer sophistication of savoring a glass of exquisitely crafted wine, surrounded by the verdant vineyards, is an experience unparalleled. Each sip reveals the artistry of the vintner, a delicate dance of flavors and aromas that tantalizes the senses and elevates the soul. The elegant ambiance, the conversations with fellow oenophiles, and the serene beauty of the rolling hills create an atmosphere of pure, unadulterated luxury. It is a celebration of life’s finest offerings, a testament to the pursuit of excellence and the joy of refined indulgence.

    I would be absolutely delighted to attend such an event, as I am an avid supporter of PDX Pipeline and frequently share its virtues with my social circle.

  104. Fulya on July 18, 2024 at 2:11 pm

    I’m new in town from Scotland and I’d love to take a date. Also I love wine! 😀

    With so many comments – this must be THE wine event to be a part of and enjoy amazing Italian wines inspired in the Pacific Northwest. What could be better than a great day with wine, awesome Italian food, and a community gathered to have fun and enjoy the day.

    I have been in Oregon for 9 years, and although I love wine, I know NOTHING about the local wine scene! I’d love to start with this winery! Pick me!

    My friend has been getting really into wine and I’d love to take them, I’m sure we’d learn a bunch
