My dog after a long day of cider

As a dog lover, a couple of events coming up this summer have caught my eye. The first is the ?Canines Uncorked? License to Taste Passport and Wine Tour, which benefits the Oregon Humane Society.

The event features complimentary wine tastings and activities for dog owners and their pets at more than a dozen dog-friendly wineries. ?Guests and their furry friends will enjoy food, contests and special activities for $40, with 100% of proceeds benefitting the Oregon Humane Society.?

Last year the event attracted more than 200 dog owners and their pets.? The Canines Uncorked??License to Taste? Passport and Wine Tour Guide can be purchased in advance from the Oregon Humane Society.? The Passport is $40 and provides complete information about each winery and the special doggie activities taking place.

The wineries joining us for Canines Uncorked this year include:

Next, the Portland Cider Summit, which has just expanded to two days ? June 21st and June 22nd at the South Waterfront. The event benefits the Northwest Cider Association, DoveLewis Emergency Animal Hospital and The Institute for Myeloma & Bone Cancer Research.

If you are interested in cider but haven?t tried many, this is the event for you. Presented by Barbur World Foods and Bushwhacker Cider, the summit features 60+ ciders from producers in Washington, Oregon, British Columbia, California, Michigan, England, France and Spain.
