The Event

The Oregon Winegrowers Association presents:

Crush on Oregon 2020 | Portland, Oregon

The Oregon Winegrowers Association welcomes you all back to our public tasting event! Join us on June 7, 2020 at Castaway Portland for a full day of wine tasting, local eats, and entertainment. Attendees will have a chance to taste wine from 35+ Oregon winemakers, with representation from around the state — and see for themselves why Oregon’s wine is so highly acclaimed. If that isn’t exciting enough, a portion of the proceeds from this event will be donated to a local charity. Come see why we’re crushing on Oregon wines.

Wine. Fun. Fare.

Oregon wines rank among the most celebrated in the world.

Crush on Oregon will showcase what makes Oregon wine so special and dynamic — from our unique climate to our world-class winemakers — attendees will cultivate a love for what the entire state of Oregon has to offer.

Crush on Oregon will offer attendees a distinctive experience with access to over 35 Oregon wineries and over 80 wines. Enjoy locally sourced food (cheese, nuts, fruit), delicious Portland-area food carts for purchase, music, and an opportunity to purchase a variety pack of wine that you are crushing on. A portion of the wine pack proceeds will go to our partner charity the Oregon Food Bank. To further display the grand qualities of Oregon, the event will also feature Oregon grown hazelnuts, pears and berries to snack on as you taste through our wonderful wines. At Crush on Oregon you will experience the fun-loving side of wine, meet new friends, and plan future trips to Portland with the Oregon Winegrowers Association’s annual tasting event in mind.

The participating wineries are listed below! Wineries from regions all around Oregon will be represented.

Giving back

Community engagement is central to Oregon’s ethos.

We’ll invite attendees to spread the love by purchasing a variety 4-pack of wine on location knowing that a portion of the proceeds will benefit Oregon Food Bank. Each pack will have a mystery mix of bottles by the producers onsite at Crush on Oregon.
