Fall is an exciting time of year in Oregon, and not just because it's crush. Each October and November, Oregon's winemakers, cheese makers, brewmasters, chefs, growers and producers come together for a celebration of Oregon Bounty. And everyone is welcome.

In addition to intimate food and wine events, visitors can purchase special packages that offer them one-on-one time with Oregon's culinary talent. Visitors can spend the day making wine with an Oregon vintner, making suds with a craft brewmaster, foraging for chanterelles in Mt. Hood's foothills-even cruising a farmers' market with a local chef in search of ingredients for a private cooking class. It's all part of the annual Oregon Bounty Celebration.
