From last year's participants:

"When we were told last year that we would get our own room to decorate and turn into a bar to feature our spirits, my brain went wild! What should we theme our room as...Nordic? Russian? Ah, HAWAIIAN! So we had the chance to deck out our "bar" in the corner room, and the Jupiter was extra nice to let us decorate a whole day in advance. The end result: the best Tiki party we every had! The Indulge event gave us a chance to display some unexpected colors from House Spirits Distillery and showcase to an amazing crowd of Portlanders. We look forward to this year's Indulge, and, of course, we plan on outdoing ourselves!"

-Matt Mount of House Spirits

"The event is called "Indulge" for a reason. We're really getting creative this year and not only showcasing some of the very best food and drink Portland's Eastside has to offer but we're also incorporating fine art food photography and utilizing creative media to really set the stage for one heck of an indulgent event, for all the senses."

-Misty Damico of Luxe Event Productions
