May is Oregon Wine Month! Willamette Valley Wines writes “We celebrate Willamette Valley all year round, but especially during Oregon Wine Month, when the entire state joins in commemoration of our beloved industry for the month of May, offering special activities, tastings and promotions for the enjoyment of Oregon Wine.”
To celebrate Oregon Wine Month in May, wineries around the state come together to host collaborative events. These events offer unique opportunities to taste and experience a variety of producers with ease, and to gain a deeper understanding of the variances and specialties of many of Oregon’s diverse micro-climates. Some of these events are one-time affairs, some ongoing.
