Oregon Priority Wine Tasting Pass: One-Year VIP Access to Pacific Northwest Wineries
Select participants and date
The tasting room light slants through tall windows and dust motes drift above oak barrels; a server sets down a flight of small, stemmed glasses and the first sip opens the map of a place—cool coastal fog, red volcanic dust, a river valley that protects a fragile microclimate. That sense of place is the thread the Oregon Priority Wine Tasting Pass hands you: not a single winery, but a year-long key to the region’s most persuasive rooms and rafters, plus access to partner estates across Washington and California.

Adventure Tips
Book ahead for peak weekends
Many popular wineries require reservations—use the concierge and make bookings before you arrive to secure coveted tasting slots.
Plan sober transport
Arrange a designated driver or shuttle; tasting and driving don’t mix and many rural roads are narrow and winding.
Hydrate and pace tastings
Drink water between flights, limit yourself to a few pours per stop, and use spittoons if you’re sampling many wines.
Carry a reusable tote
You’ll likely buy bottles; a padded tote protects glass and makes it easier to ship purchases home.

History
Modern Oregon wine culture grew in the 1960s when pioneers like Eyrie established plantings suited to cool-climate grapes, particularly pinot noir.
Conservation
Many Oregon wineries practice cover cropping, dry-farming, and low-intervention winemaking; ask about recycling and shipping options to reduce carbon footprint.
