The Lauded Willamette Valley Winery Partners with Riff Cold Brewed for a Taproom Takeover

Stoller Family Estate is bringing a little Willamette Valley cheer to Bend, Oregon this holiday season by partnering with Riff Cold Brewed for a pop-up tasting room. Located at The Box Factory, guests can enjoy a 90-minute tasting, wines by the glass or bottle Wednesday-Saturday from 11am-8pm, and Sunday from 2-6pm at the Riff Taproom. Additionally, Zydeco Kitchen & Cocktails will offer a small food menu that complements both Stoller’s wines and Riff’s beverages. 

“Bend is on fire right now with its vibrant, hip energy, countless year-round outdoor activities, and thriving culinary scene,” said Gary Mortensen, president of Stoller Family Estate. “Coffee and wine have so many similarities; it was a natural fit to partner with Riff for the Taproom takeover and explore the concept of a second tasting room in the cosmopolitan-esque mountain town.”

Riff specializes in cold-brewing award-winning ready-to-drink coffees and a line of all-natural plant-powered energy drinks called Alter Ego, all of which can be tasted at the Taproom along with a menu of specialty cocktails. Throughout the pop-up, Stoller’s friendly and knowledgeable staff will feature its award-winning wines alongside an assortment of offerings from sister brands Chehalem, Chemistry, Canned Oregon, and History. Wine club members will enjoy two complimentary wine tastings per month as well as 20 percent off all wine purchases and Riff beverages (cocktails excluded). 

Wine flights are $20 per person, which can be waived with a two-bottle purchase or by joining the wine club. Starting November 11, guests can make a reservation, visit Stoller’s online reservation system or call its concierge team at 503-864-3404. Reservations are encouraged but not required.
