2 SEASONS HARVEST (September–October) Harvest is the heartbeat of wine country, when the valley buzzes with anticipation and purpose. Grapes are picked at peak ripeness and winemakers get to work, transforming the season’s labor into wines that will tell the story of the year. It’s a thrilling time to visit and witness the promise of a new vintage. THE GIVING SEASON (November–December) As the vines go quiet, the community turns inward to celebrate and give thanks. Cozy tasting rooms, festive gatherings, and charitable events bring warmth to the valley. It's the perfect time to shop, sip, and embrace the spirit of the holidays. CELLAR SEASON (January–March) Winter in wine country is peaceful and intimate, offering a slower pace and deeper connection. Fireplaces crackle in tasting rooms as new releases are poured and stories are shared. It’s a time for reflection, rich food pairings, and quiet beauty. WILLAMETTE VALLEY IN BLOOM (April–June) Spring arrives with vibrant wildflowers, budding vines, and the release of fresh new wines. Events and festivals bloom alongside the landscape while Oregon Wine Month highlights the best of our region throughout the month of May. It’s a time of color, celebration, and positive energy. SUMMER IN WINE COUNTRY (July–August) Long sunny days and lush green vineyards set the stage for unforgettable experiences. Tastings spill out onto patios, picnics dot the hillsides, and the valley is alive with events and energy. This is wine country at its most vibrant.
