A safe return to Oregon Wine Country
On Saturday, March 12, Oregon’s statewide mask mandate is being lifted once again. Tasting rooms throughout Oregon are excited to see your smiling faces.
According to the Oregon Health Authority, organizations (including wineries and tasting rooms) may implement policies to protect workers, customers, visitors, and clients, including requiring masks and proof of vaccination, in compliance with Americans with Disability Act guidelines and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act. Some businesses and employers may choose to retain these policies even after the mask requirement is lifted. Mask and vaccine policies may vary at each individual winery, so continue to call before you visit to confirm expectations. When you’re ready to visit again, join us in Oregon Wine Country. The doors are open and the smiles are visible! Thank you for your ongoing patience and support.

What You Should Know
Some businesses may choose to continue asking guests to wear masks or honor distancing recommendations. Please be patient and understanding with your hosts. Make sure to call ahead to confirm availability and understand expectations.
