The Oregon Table: A new Tasting Experience

Experience the bounty of Oregon in a delicious adventure through cider, cheese, and the flavors that call this state home.

What makes a hazelnut taste even nuttier? Why does a tart apple bring out something different in a creamy cheese? And what happens when you bring Oregon cider, artisan cheese, local berries, honey, and other regional ingredients together?


Join Jennie Dorsey, author of Cider Paired and Plated: The Art of Food and Cider Pairing, at Bauman's Cider for The Oregon Table: Cider, Cheese & the Taste of Place, an interactive exploration of Oregon ingredients and the delicious ways they work together.


Jennie will guide you through the flavors, aromas, and textures of ingredients grown and made right here in Oregon. You'll discover what makes each ingredient unique, learn how acidity, sweetness, tannin, richness, and texture shape how we taste, and explore simple techniques to create pairings that bring out the best in every bite and sip.


Through guided tastings and hands-on pairing experiences, Jennie will share practical tips you can take home and use at your next dinner party, cheese board, or casual evening with friends.


You might discover a new favorite combination or even surprise yourself with a pairing you never would have tried.


Oregon's food culture is full of stories waiting to be tasted. Every apple, cheese, berry, and hazelnut has its own character, shaped by the people and places behind it.


We'll celebrate those ingredients, explore their flavor profiles, and learn how to bring them together in ways that are delicious, thoughtful, and distinctly Oregon.


Bring your friends. Bring your family. Come curious.

Whether you're a dedicated foodie, a cider enthusiast, a cheese lover, or simply someone who enjoys trying something new, there's a place for you at the Oregon Table. No prior pairing experience required. Just an appetite for discovery!
