You’re starting in the right place.

Your personalized, professional itinerary planning starts at $100 per day of travel, not per person. For a five-day Oregon vacation, that's $500 to benefit from years of local knowledge, carefully selected recommendations, customized maps, suggested routes, and insights into why particular experiences deserve a place on your itinerary.

Consider what you're already spending on airfare, accommodations, dining, and activities. A relatively modest additional investment can help you avoid wasted time, discover experiences you might otherwise miss, and enjoy a thoughtfully planned journey at a comfortable pace. After all, Chris plans extraordinary travel experiences around the world. But Oregon? This is his backyard and playground.

You've chosen a wonderful place to visit. Let's make sure you experience it at its best.

Discover Oregon. Your Way.

There's a reason Oregon is on your travel wish list. Dramatic coastlines. Towering forests. World-class wines. Spectacular mountains. Remarkable food. And countless discoveries waiting just beyond the familiar tourist stops. But the best trips aren't simply about where you go or your Instagram feed. They're about what you experience, who you meet, and the unexpected pleasures along the way. I am Chris Angelus, and with Portland Food Adventures, I've spent years creating memorable experiences for travelers who appreciate great food, fascinating places, and authentic local connections. Now I'd love to help you discover Oregon in a way that's uniquely yours.

Not a packaged tour. An Oregon experience designed around you.

Skip the Guesswork. And the Facebook Advice.

Ask a Facebook group what to do in Oregon, and you'll probably get dozens of recommendations from well-meaning strangers. But you don't know them, and they don't know you, your interests, your budget, or how you like to travel. Maybe their idea of a great meal is a special at Taco Bell Maybe they’ve never gone to a great restaurant. (Seriously, these are the people chiming in to your query on Facebook!!) Now you're left spending hours sorting through suggestions, researching them, and trying to figure out which are genuinely worth your time and which are just tourist traps.

Why not start with someone who actually knows Oregon and lives it daily — and takes the time to get to know you?

Portland Food Adventures brings more than a decade of professional travel-planning experience, deep local connections, and a genuine love for this remarkable state. We have done the homework, separating the must-sees from the maybes, and create an itinerary that makes sense for you.

Less time researching. More time enjoying Oregon.

What Does Your Perfect Oregon Adventure Look Like?

Secluded beaches and charming coastal towns? Exceptional wineries and unforgettable meals in the Willamette Valley? Portland's celebrated food scene? Mountain adventures, waterfalls, ancient forests, or the dramatic landscapes of Central Oregon? Perhaps it's a little of everything. Whether you're passionate about food and wine, outdoor adventures, photography, or simply discovering wonderful places, we'll help you create a journey that reflects your interests, your pace, and your sense of adventure.

Your interests. Your schedule. Your kind of Oregon. The beauty of Oregon is its diversity. The beauty of a personalized itinerary is that you don't have to experience it like everyone else.

Local Knowledge Goes a Long Way

For more than a decade, Portland Food Adventures has cultivated relationships with Oregon's chefs, winemakers, artisans, and hospitality professionals. Along the way, we've discovered countless remarkable places and experiences worth sharing. Sometimes the difference between a good vacation and a great one is knowing which back road to take, where to stop for lunch, which winery deserves a visit, or when to avoid the crowds. We'll share the places we love, the people we know, and the details that make a journey special.

Think of us as your well-connected Oregon friend, helping you experience the best of our remarkable state.

How It Works

Enjoy Oregon at Your Own Pace

Remember Clark Griswold's famously brief stop at the Grand Canyon in National Lampoon's Vacation? That's exactly what we want to avoid!

We'll design your itinerary with a comfortable pace, allowing time to linger over a wonderful meal, enjoy an unexpected discovery, or simply take in the scenery. After all, some of the best travel memories happen when you're not watching the clock.
