Wineries in all of the state's wine growing regions will feature complimentary samplings of Oregon pears, cheeses and hazelnuts in their tasting rooms every weekend in November. In addition, special Oregon Bounty packages, rates and activities are available at a variety of lodging establishments, from sleek hotels in downtown Portland to rustic and romantic wine country inns.
