Harvest celebration at Anne Amie Vineyards

Annual Volunteer Harvest at Anne Amie Vineyard (Late Sept)

With every contribution to ¡Salud!—a local nonprofit providing health care access for seasonal vineyard workers—donors are invited for a day of hands-on harvest, a chef-powered vineyard lunch, and tastes through the winery’s new-release bottles. Contact Anne Amie Vineyard for details; anneamie.com

Scott Paul La Paulée de Portland Dinner (Nov 2)

Inspired by traditional end-of-harvest feasts in Burgundy, where winemakers gather to share treasured bottles, this annual bacchanalia promises library wines from Champagne Vincent Couche and Scott Paul winemaker/importer Scott Wright’s legendary cellar. Imperial, 410 SW Broadway; scottpaul.com

Portland Nouveau Nouveau Festival (Nov 21)

Local winemaking outfits Division Winemaking Company, Brandborg Winery, and Bow & Arrow team up with St. Jack, Bar Avignon, and Nostrana for a very Portland spin on the traditional French Beaujolais Nouveau festival. Southeast Wine Collective, 2425 SE 35th Pl; sewinecollective.com
