GO | Cappella Romana

EAT | Newberg Truffle Month
The truffle is arguably the state’s most valuable buried treasure, which makes Newberg and its surrounding forests where “X” marks the spot. The Oregon white truffle is in abundance in this area during February, which prompted Taste Newberg to declare this time of year Truffle Month. You still have a full weekend to take advantage of all the specials, which include everything from a five-course truffle dinner at a luxury resort to the release of Wolves & People Farmhouse Brewery’s truffled hazelnut stout to guided hunts for the precious tubers complete with trained truffle dogs. Various locations, tastenewberg.com/blog/trufflemonth. Through Feb. 28.
SEE | Magnus Martensson
The Nordic nations proved once again at the 2022 Beijing Games that they dominate winter sports. Though not quite as physically demanding an activity, those countries have mastered another type of performance: piano comedy. Magnus Martensson keeps the spirit of the late Victor Borge alive with his latest tour. No matter what you think about the genre of humor, you gotta give the guy credit for possessing the skills to play a grand piano and tell jokes at the same time. Nordic Northwest, 8800 SW Oleson Road, 503-977-0275, nordicnorthwest.org. 2 pm in person, 7 pm in person and online Saturday, Feb. 26. $10-$25.
