Women’s New Friends Meetup

Whether you’re a Portland local or brand new to the neighborhood, we know that showing up solo can feel a little daunting. We’ll do some light Speed-Friending. Only 30 minutes of Structured Connection Time to spark conversations. You’ll leave with real names, shared laughs, and maybe even plans for next weekend! Join us at Cellardoor Winery for a night of intentional connection.

🕒 The Flow

5:30 | Soft Landing: Grab a drink and charcuterie snacks, snag your name tag and settle in.

6:00 | Speed-Friending: Our lightly structured connection time! We’ll facilitate rapid-fire group “mini-chats.” Just 30 minutes of “let’s really meet each other” energy.

6:30 PM | Open Mingle: Now that you’ve met a dozen women, the floor is yours! Keep the conversation going with your new connections.

⚓ What to Expect

Approachability: This group and event is for the solo-flyers. Most of us show up alone, so you’re in good company. The “Spark”: Our new mixers ensure everyone feels included and meets someone new. Vibe: Think casual come as you are and meet fellow women who are also looking for conversations and connection.
