b"Today, we're embracing our weird in Oregon as we explore the Northern Culture Trail! \\nWe\\u2019re going to discover Portland\\u2019s favorite food carts, sample food from around the world and go on a secret bar crawl to hidden local spots. \\u201cPortland is the rebel base of the Star Wars universe, we\\u2019re sticking it to the forces of normal,\\u201d Dresden of Throw Snakes told us. We\\u2019re going to have some fun!\\nFrom there we hit the road south to the Willamette Valley to sip some of the most delicious Pinot Noir grapes in the world. But this isn\\u2019t pinky up drinking, this is down-to-earth wine-tasting in craft vineyards, surrounded by the beautiful rolling vines of the Dundee Hills.\\nLastly, we visit the Eugene Saturday Market, Oregon\\u2019s premier art market, to meet the makers who helped turn this artist community into one of the most thriving creative hubs in the Pacific Northwest. We finish at Harmonic Laboratory, an experimental artist collective pushing the boundaries of visual arts, soundscapes, and technology. It\\u2019s going to blow your mind.\\nThrough it all, we\\u2019ll reveal why, here in Oregon, weird isn\\u2019t strange; it\\u2019s the spark from which the best things grow.\\nFind out more at www.traveloregon.com .\\nProduced by Armchair Productions, the audio experts for the travel industry. \\nLearn more about your ad choices.
