About this Event
In honor of March’s International Women’s Day and Women in Wine Day, Cafe Olli, along with four leading winemakers in Oregon, announce “Women Who Sparkle!” – an event celebrating the extraordinary women winemakers shaping the sparkling wine landscape in Oregon.

Guests will have the opportunity to meet the four winemakers, hear their stories, and enjoy select pours, tastings, and bottles of a variety of limited-production sparkling wines along with Cafe Olli’s seasonally inspired brunch menu.
