The VIPlanners had the best trip ever! The event started out at the Bravo offices. Each planner was greeted with a hand calligraphy name badge by Alesia Zorn Calligraphy (so, we all knew who everyone was). They boarded the luxury VIP PDX bus and what a bus it is. Large comfy leather seats with the best bathroom you have ever seen. Graham, owner and host served us well and provided some great music! They took us to the Vista Hills Winery, where Stephanie served us 5 different varieties of fabulous Oregon wines. From there, VIP PDX took us to the Allison Inn & Spa, where Joanne Austin and Lori greeted us. We sat sat down to a beautiful table made possible by Barclay Event Rental menu cards by Uncommon Invites and flowers designed by Leah Clouser of Sweet Nellie’s. Joanne shared her vision with us and how she made her dream possible. Owners Jim and Vicky of Gourmet Productions provided the most amazing lunch! After lunch Lori took us on a hard hat tour of The Allison. This place is amazing! So much thought and details has gone into the planning. If you are looking to plan an event in Mid-Willamette wine country, this is definitely the place. Their grand opening is set for September 2009.
