Oregon Frequently Asked Questions

We will send you detailed information about the Adventure in a Pre-Departure Packet once you register.

What is the weather going to be like?
The average high temperature in August in the wine areas of Oregon is 80 degrees Fahrenheit, while the average lows are in the 50s. Plus, while western Oregon does get its share of rain, July and August are the driest months. So, expect hot, sunny days with little chance of rain.

What is the best way to get to the Tour and where do we meet?
We meet in Eugene, Oregon and depart from Portland. So you should fly into Eugene and out of Portland. We will provide you with detailed arrival and departure information after you book the tour.

What should I do if I want to extend my vacation in the area?
We don't visit Portland at all our tour and would highly recommend stay an extra day in this city. If you would like to extend your vacation even longer, two fantastic trips within Oregon are the coast and the Bend area. The Oregon Coast is reknowned for its waves, beaches, and cute small towns. Bend, located in central Oregon, is a great outdoors town and a center for mountain biking, hiking, river rafting, and pretty much anything else you want to do.

Do I need to be a wine expert to enjoy this tour?
You definitely don't need to be a wine expert to enjoy this tour. In fact, you don't even need any knowledge of wines at all. All you need is an open mind, an ability to discern what you like and don't like, and an adventurous spirit.

What ability level do I really need to be for this tour?
The Oregon Multisport Wine Adventure is rated for All Abilities. The hiking is gentle, the biking is gradually downhill, and no experience is required on any of our activities. We will provide more difficult challenges for those who wish them but, otherwise, this tour is designed to be a fun, active, but not challenging trip.

For what type of people would you recommend this trip?
Active wine drinkers. You need not be knowledgeable at all about wine to enjoy this tour; you just need some enthusiasm!
