Oregon Wine Experience® is the region’s top charitable wine event, benefiting Asante Foundation. Located near Jacksonville, people from around the country will return this summer to this signature event. Hundreds of wineries come together to present the full breadth and depth of Oregon’s unrivaled wines, and chefs curate their fine culinary offerings, for attendees to savor and create memorable experiences.

In 2019, over 5,100 guests and sponsors helped raise $1.7 million for Asante Foundation and Children’s Miracle Network. 2020 and 2021 offered all virtual opportunities, generating $2.7 million from loyal fans who tuned in and bid online. This year, the event will take place at a new location, Stage Pass, and will continue to offer virtual bidding and livestream opportunities. Key events, such as the Founders’ Barrel Auction and Grand Tasting, are back, along with a brand-new event called Collectors’ Tasting.
