Oh, Oregon. How I love your carefree attitude, tree hugging-spirit, and panache for crafting delicious foods and beverages. Mmm. Mmm. During both trips to Oregon (once in 2010 and the first in 2007) to say I ate well is an understatement.

Seems as though I noshed on everything ranging from fruits and veggies from farmers’ stands to kitchen creations with made with fresh caught seafood. Remember this video from the Portland Farmers Market? And can’t forget sipping wine in Amity and sampling microbrews in Portland.

I recently learned about a contest to win an ultimate foodie experience to Oregon sponsored by Travel Oregon, the state’s tourism marketing agency. Although I want to win, I will share the specifics with you.

Win the Ultimate Foodie Experience to Oregon
Win an exclusive four-day, three-night Oregon Bounty Wanderfest experience. Included is a five-course chef’s table dinner at Le Pigeon Restaurant in Portland plus two of these options for their own Oregon Wanderfeast: head out on a pier and catch Dungeness crab, be an artisan cheese maker for a day, discover the wineries of the Columbia Gorge, create spring ales with a craft brewer, learn the art of mixology with artisan spirits or stalk a steelhead on a wild and scenic river. These all sound awesome and I would love to do all!

All you have to do to enter the Oregon Bounty Wanderfeast Contest is create an itinerary of your choosing from a variety of Oregon culinary destinations (check out www.TravelOregon.com/Bounty) then submit in 25 words or less what makes Oregon the perfect place for your Wanderfeast.

A winner, randomly selected from all submittals on Dec. 3, 2010, will have the opportunity to bring three friends or family members to accompany him or her on their culinary adventure, scheduled for April 7 – 10, 2011. The prize includes the chosen itinerary, airfare on Alaska Airlines/Horizon Air and lodging by Best Western. For a complete list of celebration information, contest rules and to enter, visit www.TravelOregon.com/Bounty.

Good luck!
