The indoor arena of Portland is spectacular too. With several top wineries within driving distance, Portland is quickly becoming a wine region to be savored. Along with the onephiles come the foodies, and the city now plays host to some of the top restaurants in the country. Chefs have moved in to take advantage of the area's harvest of fresh seafood and hearty herbs. And shoppers rejoice! Oregon has no sales tax. With blocks of trendy shops, you'll find everything from haute couture to hat cuisine.
