    If you love flowers, don’t miss Swan Island Dahlias in Canby, Oregon. It’s one of the top 100 Destinations in Oregon, two years in a row. The 2019 Annual Dahlia Festival at Swan Island Dahlias is Sat, August 24 – Mon, August 26 from 8am-6pm daily. But you can explore the gorgeous Oregon dahlia fields during the month of August. 

    Bring a camera, as 35 acres of dahlias provides plenty to explore.

    Watch my visit from my last trip to the Oregon Dahlia Festival…

    About Swan Island Dahlias in Canby, Oregon

    A quick 45 minute day trip from Portland lands you at Swan Island Dahlias in Canby, Oregon. The fields are open August and September, and some years the blooms last into October.

    The annual Swan Island Dahlias Festival is the last weekend of August and over Labor Day weekend.

    The flower gardens and Swan Island Dahlia grounds are beautiful and relaxing. There’s a koi pond and a shaded picnic area to enjoy a picnic lunch.

    Don’t miss the funny names of each dahlia variety at Swan Island Dahlias.

    For such beautiful, elegant flowers, the dahlias have some pretty funny and quirky names. Here are a few of the varieties you can find in the Swan Island Dahlias Catalog:

    “Awe Shucks”
    “Bed Head” (this one has wild, carefree petals)
    “Blah Blah Blah” (a pretty interesting looking dahlia, despite it’s name)
    “Hokey Pokey”
    “Sugar Daddy”

    ….yes, I’d like an order of 60 Sugar Daddy’s, please…

    PDX day trip idea: Swan Island Dahlias in Canby Oregon - one of the most beautiful flower fields in the PNW! These are gorgeous orange dahlias.

    I love taking a trip from Portland to the Dahlia Festival at the end of each Summer. There are great wineries around Canby, Oregon to explore when you’re in the area.

    Hey, I’m Jenna Passaro.

    I develop easy recipes that can transform your kitchen into a restaurant – and you into a true home chef.

      

    Where to start?

    Learn the secrets to smoking tasty Traeger recipes and making pizza at home. And cook amazing tri tip steak dinners.

    Or, fall in love with something new to cook with your air fryer, pellet smoker, BBQ grill, sous vide cooker, and more…

    You’ll notice, I kind of geek out over new cooking trends and tools!

    My story. Growing up, I didn’t learn to cook.

    (I was actually banned from cooking for years)

    And then in my 20’s I didn’t have to cook because my job as an event planner involved a lot of travel and it was easier to eat out. At the time, I was 100% positive that restaurant food would always taste better than cooking at home, and there was nothing I could do about it.

    Until I fell in love with a chef. He would come over and cook me delicious meals right in my own kitchen. My mind was blown.

    Since then, I’ve been on a mission to figure out easy ways to make restaurant style food at home and share it here on Sip Bite Go.

    Love to eat out and travel? I can totally relate. See my guide on where to eat in Portland, OR.

    Never in a million years did I imagine I’d ditch the 9-5 lifestyle in my late 20’s, move across the country on a whim, start a new life, start a food blog, and write a book.

    But here I am!

    See my book on Amazon: The Home Chef’s Sous Vide Cookbook.
