Distillery Row Tastings + Dinner at Afuri - SE

Work up an appetite by tasting at three Portland distilleries, then end the day with dinner at Portland's ramen hotspot, Afuri (reservations not required). There are skewers and dumplings for parents who do not have adventuring palates, and the meal served in a setting that they will not forget.

There are actually five distilleries that are part of "Distillery Row," but the three on this map are very close to each other. Here is what to expect from each:

• New Deal Distillery: a variety of artisan vodkas, liqueurs, and gins
• Integrity Spirits: two flavored vodkas, a fruity gin, and an authentic absinthe 
• Deco Distilling: a variety of rums with unique flavors like ginger and coffee

Yummmmmm!

After a little bit of afternoon boozing, everyone should be feeling hungry, so head down the street to Afuri. Afuri is set in a converted warehouse with huge wood ceiling beams. It is very open and West Coast trendy. 

Hello, dinner.

The ramen is full of authentic touches and unique flavors. The Gyoza Dumplings and chicken skewers are pleasers for all palates. Fear not!
