Peak Season:
The peak season for Oregon flights is May through October, and the height of the season is July. Portland and Ashland are booked solid in summer, and many wineries are open daily during the summer months.

Off Season:
Spring and autumn generally have good weather, fewer crowds, and lower prices. Late March through April is the peak fishing season.

Many vineyards begin wine tasting in November, but most are closed in January and February.

Between October and May, hotel rates are lower, but you need good rain gear.
