Whether you're a seasoned fermenter or just "kinda curious" about kombucha, kimchi, or kraut, Fermentopia offers something for everyone. As the days grow shorter and we gather indoors, discover a symphony of bold flavors and endless nutritional benefits perfect for winter wellness. Meet the passionate artisans behind small-batch cheeses, tangy pickles, gut-loving ferments, natural wines, craft beers, sourdough breads, miso, hot sauces, chocolates and so much more. This is your chance to taste, sip, shop, and learn directly from the makers themselves—all while exploring the ancient tradition of fermentation that has sustained communities through winter for centuries. Fermentopia vendors join us from across Oregon, Northern California and Washington, bringing their finest cellar-aged and cold-weather ferments. It's a one-of-a-kind opportunity to stock your winter pantry and discover your new favorite ferments!
Included in the ticket price is one day access to tastings at the Civic Center, Oregon Cheese Cave and Moxie Brew Kombucha.
