Welcome!.

Tonight, you are changing lives. Every dollar you spend and donate at Cork & Barrel supports healing for children who have experienced abuse.

Cork & Barrel is KIDS Center’s largest fundraiser. Over three days, close to 1,000 attendees help raise more than $500,000 to help fund KIDS Center’s essential services. Because of your generosity, children and families across Central Oregon have the chance to heal and experience a brighter future.

Thank you for joining us for this incredible weekend, made possible by our generous and committed guest wineries, breweries, cideries, distilleries, chefs, restaurants and eateries, sponsors, donors, and volunteers. In line with our mission of keeping families safe, please celebrate responsibly and have a wonderful time!

Cheers!

In Central Oregon, hundreds of children will experience abuse this year.

Close to 500 children will come to KIDS Center in 2025 in search of hope and healing. KIDS Center is our region’s Children’s Advocacy Center, with a medical model designed to wrap children and their families with services and support. Children referred to KIDS Center receive an independent child abuse evaluation, which includes a forensic interview and a head-to-toe medical exam Families are assigned a family advocate who can help connect families with community resources. Children, their siblings, and non-offending caregivers can also return for on-going healing therapy.

Without these interventions, children who have experienced abuse can struggle with devastating, life-long impacts: difficulty in school, poor physical and mental health, an increased risk of addiction, social isolation, and difficulty trusting others. It’s clear: kids need KIDS Center.

Cork & Barrel helps ensure cost is never a barrier to healing.

It costs—on average—$7,600 to provide direct services to a child and their family. These costs reflect the time-consuming work to support their healing process as well as a community’s child abuse investigation process. Our highly-trained team of professionals thoroughly document each case, preserve evidence, coordinate with community partners, and often testify at trial.

Cork & Barrel raises nearly 20% of KIDS Center’s annual budget, making it possible for families to receive KIDS Center services at no cost.

Thanks to your generosity at Cork & Barrel, hundreds of Central Oregon children and families will start their healing journey at KIDS Center this year.

When Thane Hawkins moved to Oregon, he immediately fell in love with the Willamette Valley, and more specifically, Pinot Noir. Ten years later, Hawkins Cellars found a home on Underwood Mountain in the Columbia Gorge National Scenic Area, with a climate akin to Alsace. Hawkins grows and sources cool climate varietals, including Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Syrah, Mourvedre, and Viognier from world class vineyard sites around Washington’s Yakima Valley.

In 1974, long before Oregon had its booming modern wine industry, Laurel Ridge Winery founder David Teppola purchased a 240-acre farm just east of Carlton, Oregon. With its perfect southern exposure, it looked like an excellent future vineyard site. As luck would have it, the estate vineyard is in one of the valley’s premier sub-appellations, the Yamhill-Carlton AVA. The Willakenzie Loam is a soil that consistently produces premier, award-winning, and distinct Pinot Noir. Laurel Ridge Winery is now a second generation family-owned winery with a tasting room in Bend.

When CJ McCollum moved to Oregon to join the Portland Trail Blazers, he found himself just a short drive away from one of the top wine regions in the country.

In 2021, Elise and CJ acquired 318 acres in the Yamhill-Carlton AVA, advancing their long-term vision of creating an exceptional vineyard that produces worldclass wines.

Prince Hill Vineyards is a testament to terroir. At the namesake site, vines bask in the pristine conditions above the fog line, while the red Jory soil offers steadfast nourishment. This meticulous care yields wines of remarkable approachability and exquisite flavor. In the greater Willamette Valley, fertile soils benefit from cooler climates ideal for winegrowing. At higher elevations—like at Prince Hill’s eponymous site—a slow and steady ripening process enhances the complexity and elegance of the crafted wines.

All Purple Hands Winery wines undergo native fermentation and remain unrefined and unfiltered at bottling to preserve their natural, wild character. Achieving elegance in this pursuit is the passion and art of their craft.

Wright has gradually expanded The Pines Estate Vineyard with another zinfandel block using starts off the old vine zin, along with Merlot and Syrah. In 2001, Peter Rosback came on board as winemaker and began producing limited-production boutique wines.

Chris Figgins has deep wine roots in Walla Walla— his parents, Gary and Nancy Figgins, founded Leonetti Cellar, Walla Walla’s oldest winery. As the CEO and Winemaking Director for Figgins Family Wine Estates, Chris launched Toil Oregon Winery as a small-production Willamette Valley brand featuring Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.

In 1998, Carl and Marilynn Thoma opened up a new frontier of the Willamette Valley when they chose a wild, out-of-the-way place where the winds blew just right. Perched upon a windy knoll in Dallas, Oregon, Van Duzer Vineyards is in the direct path of the cooling marine winds that rush through a deep gap in the coastal range—the Van Duzer corridor. This unique climate produces world-class wines that are nuanced and expertly balanced with lightness and intensity.

Jim Bernau, founder and CEO of Willamette Valley Vineyards, began building his Oregon wine dream from a young age. A native Oregonian, Bernau’s journey started from winemaking at home to studies at UC Davis to time spent in Beaune, France. Ultimately, his path led back to the fertile Willamette Valley. Unable to afford drip irrigation, he watered the vines in his newly planted Estate vineyard using 17 lengths of 75’ garden hose to get the grapelings through their first summer! Today, Willamette Valley Vineyards is internationally recognized as a premium producer of Pinot Noir.

Salvador Dali Original Print: Flordali II

Dali worked with Atelier Matthieu to translate his fanciful collage of 19th century botanical engravings, hand-drawn figures and watercolor washes, into a limited edition of lithograph prints. True to the Surrealist tradition, Flordali II is full of symbolic and fantastical figures and distinctly Dali-esque themes: vanishing lines, mountainous contours, and anthropomorphized plants and fruits. The butterflies signify lightness, evolution, harmony and metamorphosis. Flordali II is one of Dali’s last prints—shortly after, he developed hand tremors from Parkinson’s. Printed on Arches paper with selective embossing and published by Inter Art Senans. Signed by the artist and stamped with the edition number 4169/5000 on the back. This original print is framed to conservation standards and preserved under museum glass. Frame size: 35”x45”. Updated with extra deep archival mats, courtesy of Eastlake Framing, this beautiful work of art is ready for your home!

About Salvador Dali

Spanish (1904-1989)

Few artists from the 20th century have achieved the level of public recognition and admiration as Salvador Dali. Born in Figueres in Catalonia, Dalí received his formal education in fine arts in Madrid. Influenced by Impressionism and the Renaissance masters in his youth, he became increasingly attracted to Cubism and avant-garde movements. By the late 1920s he had moved closer to Surrealism and became one of the leading members of the Surrealist group. Dali’s “nuclear mysticism” style is based on his interest in classicism, mysticism, and scientific advancements.

13 7 Nights in Croatia for 8, with Tours, Dinner and a Sunset Cruise!

Croatia is one of the most beautiful European countries and truly has something for everyone. Nestled between the Balkans and Central Europe, Croatia is a country rich in both history and natural wonders. Go island hopping, explore limestone caves and endless green forests, and sample the growing food and wine culture.
