PORTLAND
Fall 2008
With day trips that delight and a nightlife that bedazzles, Portland is a welcoming destination, anytime.
Set against the backdrop of Mount Hood, Portland combines a sophisticated, cosmopolitan atmosphere with refreshingly friendly, small-town warmth that makes it a natural for tours of all types. Whether in groups or individually, visitors can engage with local arts programming - festivals, museums, galleries, artist studios and collections; stroll through gardens and parks; shop tax-free in our tempting array of stores and boutiques; then wrap up the day with world-class dining and wines.
While we offer year-round customized itineraries for museum and patron groups, each fall we are very excited to create special Portland Art Focus weekends that we offer to both groups and individuals looking to take in the creative side of this great city!
