About this Event
The Maker’s Table | A Winemaker Dinner Series at the Portland Art Museum.
Art, Wine, and Conversation
Portland Art Museum Venues invites you to The Maker’s Table - an intimate evening series bringing together Oregon winemakers and visual artists for a one-of-a-kind experience of wine, art and conversation.
Held after hours in the Museum’s stunning new Rothko Pavillion, each evening explores the creative process behind both disciplines. Guests are invited not to simply taste and observe, but to engage; discovering how inspiration takes shape, how tension fuels beauty, and how artistry evolves over time.
This season of our Maker’s Table Series will include five unforgettable events - each featuring a different visual artist represented by the Portland Art Museum’s Rental Sales Gallery paired with an Oregon winery.
Guests may choose two experiences: the Walk-Around Tasting Experience or the Seated Maker's Table Dinner (Tasting + Dinner).
May 21, 2026 Featured Winery: Alexana | Winemaker Tresider Burns
Located in the Dundee Hills of the Willamette Valley, Alexana Winery is part of the Revana Family Vineyards portfolio, founded with a commitment to producing site-specific wines from exceptional vineyard sources. At Alexana, this vision is realized through a deep exploration of terroir, where diverse soils and elevations shape wines of nuance and precision.
Winemaker Tresider Burns brings a thoughtful, site-driven approach to each vintage, working closely with the land to craft wines that reflect both place and intention. Guided by the philosophy that great wine begins in the vineyard, his work balances structure, elegance, and expression.
Together, the wines of Alexana offer a clear and compelling articulation of the Dundee Hills, defined by detail, tension, and a sense of place.
