May In Wine Country
Willamette Valley In Bloom
Springtime in wine country is cause for celebration! April - July, the Willamette Valley is "in bloom" with brilliant gardens, budding vines and clear skies.
At the center of it all is our long-running Memorial Weekend in Wine Country event, now expanded to include the entire month of May. With this much-loved tradition, our wineries open their doors to welcome the return of vibrant colors to our landscape and the first chapter in the story of the next vintage. We also kick off the summer tourism season, basking in dry, warm, sunny weather that brings everyone outside. This is the time for exciting new white wine and rosé releases, soft buds emerging on the vines, the scent of flowers everywhere and the joy that comes with a fresh start. Check out our participating wineries' special events and offers, browse wineries with garden views and lawn games to make the most of the sunshine, and use our Memorial Weekend Map to plan your trip.

WINE COUNTRY MOMS
Multitasking takes on a whole new meaning for the extraordinary winemaker moms of the Willamette Valley. We asked them to share their stories, their advice, and the lessons they've learned in a special interview series, and we mapped their wineries so you can support them. It's all here.
LAWN GAMES
Many wineries are offering activities beyond the tasting room, several of which are family-friendly and all of which are more fun with a glass of wine in hand––like bocce, pétanque and ladder golf. Learn more.
