Dying to try these award winning wines? Or do you want a reason to head to the coast this weekend? You actually probably don't need a reason, but here is one anyway- The Astoria Seafood & Wine Festival! Until I started writing this blog I had NO idea there were so many seafood & wine festivals in Oregon (no complaint here)! 

Enjoy a great spread of Northwest cuisine, myriad arts and crafts, a selection of Oregon and Washington's finest wineries, a beer garden, and musical entertainment at this years festival located at the Clatsop County Fairgrounds.

Friday: 4-9 p.m. $8
Saturday: 10 a.m. - 8 p.m. $10
