Willamette Valley

Oregon | United States

May 8 - 12, 2025

Oregon’s wine region is like the cool, laid-back cousin of California—unpredictable, adventurous, and full of surprises. From the lush Willamette Valley to the sun-drenched hills of Southern Oregon, the landscape is a mix of fog-kissed mornings and sunny afternoons, perfect for growing world-class Pinot Noir, along with a variety of other wines that thrive in this quirky, diverse climate. The vineyards are surrounded by lush forests, rolling hills, and charming small towns where locals greet you with a glass in hand and a story to tell. In Oregon, wine isn’t just a drink, it’s an experience, full of creative energy, natural beauty, and a touch of indie spirit.
