Inside the tasting room at Indio Spirits

Located in a semi-industrial location, near Stash Tea and Bridgeport Village in Tigard, is Indio Spirits, a local distillery that makes some fun and interesting and seriously good spirits.

Indio Spirits has been distilling for eight years, and just this December opened its tasting room, which is open to the public Thursdays-Sundays (times vary).

The tasting room is warm and welcoming, with a beautifully crafted wood bar and table as the centerpiece, where visitors may taste a flight of four spirits for $5. Choosing which four to taste is the difficult part, as Indio produces a variety of spirits, including flavored vodkas (such as lemongrass lime, marionberry, and wasabi), gin, lime-flavored rum, and aged whiskeys.

Spirits and spirits-related gift items are available for purchase at the tasting room. Also available is barbecue sauce using Indio’s Canadian whiskey and made by local company Beaverton Foods – the largest producer of horseradish and specialty mustards. Can’t get to the tasting room? Indio Spirits is sold in retail outlets in 30 states.

Indio’s shaking things up with new summer recipes, paired with drinkable balsamic vinegar available at Lucero Olive Oils at Bridgeport Village! DO try this at home:

Lemongrass-Lime Press
1 tbsp. Lemon White Balsamic Vinegar
2.5 oz. Lemongrass-Lime Vodka
Fill with even parts lemon-lime soda and club soda
Serve in a tall glass over ice

Fun fact: Local iconic institution, Beaverton Bakery, uses Indio’s spirits in some of their tasty creations, such as its Whiskey Fudge Cake and Marionberry Lemon Chiffon Cake.

A Guide to Beaverton’s Historic Downtown District

Downtown Beaverton is experiencing a renaissance lately. Acclaimed restaurants, new antique shops and the return of the venerable Beaverton Farmers’ Market combine to make the historic downtown district in Beaverton a must-visit destination.

Dining & Culinary

Global cuisine takes center stage in Beaverton, as several of the Greater Portland region’s most celebrated and authentic ethnic restaurants are located right here.  In addition to being a hot-spot for Korean BBQ, with restaurants such as Nakwon and Du Kuh Bee, downtown Beaverton is home to decarli Italian restaurant and the popular lunch spot, Gloria’s Secret Cafe.  (View the complete list of restaurants in Oregon’s Washington County, or search by location, cuisine type, price and more.)

The historic Beaverton Bakery is one of Beaverton’s most beloved local brands. It has been producing the highest-quality cakes and desserts since 1925.

Finally, from February through November, the state’s largest all-agricultural market, the Saturday Beaverton Farmers’ Market, becomes the cornerstone of the historic downtown district. Located near the Beaverton City Park, which features ping-pong tables, picnic areas and an interactive water fountain and playground, the market’s fresh produce, artisan food products and live entertainment delight and entertain visitors.

Shopping

In addition to random, locally owned stores selling wares ranging from ski and snowboard supplies to barbers and repair shops, Beaverton’s historic district offers many opportunities for tax-free shopping and places to find one-of-a-kind gifts.

The name says it all at Tea Thyme and Lavender Vintage Antiques and Tea House. Browse the antique furniture and enjoy a casual high tea. The new Peonies & Possibilities antiques and vintage shop is a cute shop that features antique furniture, “Shabby Chic,” linen, silver and more.

Quilters will enjoy the Quilter’s Corner Store, a family owned and operated, independent quilt shop featuring fabric, kits, patterns, notions and tools and more.

Art and Culture
