Oregon is famous for its wine, and Mt. Hood Territory is filled with incredible wineries. Here are some local events celebrating these businesses.
May is a wonderful time for wine lovers in Mt. Hood Territory. It's so perfect, in fact, that it has been formally designated as Oregon Wine Month. The excitement peaks Memorial Day weekend, when our wineries have extended tasting hours and special offerings to accommodate friends and family enjoying the long weekend.
