La Copa Del Albariño! Welcome Dinner

Join us for a night of fun + conversation as we stage a blind tasting tournament of Albariños from around the globe in McMinnville Oregon!
About this Event

Kicking off our weekend of Alba-Alba: A Celebration of Oregon Albacore & Albariño, join us The Pub in downtown McMinnville, Oregon for a casual meal with seriously good wines and good people.

We invite you to join us in welcoming our visiting winemakers and winery reps from around the state, country, and even the globe. This night will offer all of us an opportunity to make friends and connections whether you are in the business of Albariño wines, a dedicated aficionado, or a curious wine-lover looking to learn more.

We will be hosting a blind tasting competition that evening - and ALL ticket holders will get to participate with their own score-cards, to be tallied up by our team that evening to crown the Copa del Albariño 2026 champion! This is your chance to say you were there for the first one.

Think of this as the Albariño World Cup, hosted by the Community of Oregon Producers of Albariño (COPA), which offers a playful and interactive opportunity to taste, compare, and celebrate Albariño from around the world.

Guests will take a seat alongside visiting and participating winemakers for a family-style feast highlighting Oregon Albacore and other local highlights through the eyes of our chefs.

Part dinner party, part friendly competition, and part international wine gathering, La Copa del Albariño is a rare chance to share a table with the people making some of the most exciting Albariños being produced today.
