Oregon's Top Chefs
Growing up on the banks of the Siletz River in Oregon’s Central Coast town of Siletz, executive chef Jack Strong learned traditional foodways as part of his Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians upbringing. When he took the helm at JORY Restaurant in the Willamette Valley in 2022, he found heritage foods ready to welcome back his family. With a new Indigenous foods tasting menu, the James Beard Award-nominated chef is part of what makes Oregon’s culinary scene world-class.

Ocean-to-Table Dinner
With 363 miles of stunning coastline boasting salty bays and rich tidal flats, Oregon is a great place to learn how to catch your own crabs and dig for clams, both of which make for a fine meal. Not sure how to begin? Let a guide help. These experts offer excursions to show you all the tricks of the trade, and many have opportunities from spring to fall. All you need is a license, an understanding of the rules, and a willingness to try something new. Here are some ways to add oceanside foraging to your next Coast getaway.

Rogue Valley Wine Tour
The vineyards of Southern Oregon have become known for their diversity of grapes (at least 50 varieties) and their ability to produce so many exquisite types of wine: everything from reds like syrah, merlot, cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc, tempranillo and malbec to mouth-watering whites like pinot gris, chardonnay and viognier and rosés, too. Nestled between the Cascade, Siskiyou and Coastal ranges and the Pacific Ocean, the Rogue Valley is a destination in its own right. Plan a trip, cozy up to fireside and enjoy a glass of wine while taking in the landscape.

363 Miles of Coastline
In Oregon the beach is truly for everyone. Every inch of the coastline is publicly accessible, a unique right secured by the state’s landmark 1967 Beach Bill. “We are one of the only states where the entire coastline is public property,” says Elise Newman, executive director of the Oregon Shores Conservation Coalition. Whether you’re on the hunt for tide pools and lighthouses, hikes or beachcombing, here’s your north-to-south guide to some of Oregon’s most beloved beaches.

Oregon's Painted Hills
The Painted Hills are one of Oregon’s most iconic landscapes, protected by the National Park Service as part of John Day Fossil Beds National Monument.

Here's what you need to know.

Crater Lake National Park
Surrounded by cliffs almost 2,000 feet high and boasting a picturesque island a violent volcanic past, Crater Lake is the deepest lake in America. Accessible year-round, you can hike in old-growth forest, camp in summer and take cross-country ski trips in the winter months. It's easy to plan a Crater Lake road trip with stops at the world-renowned Oregon Shakespeare Festival, the stunning Rogue River, the Oregon Caves and vineyards, chocolatiers and cheesemakers galore.

Black History Tour of Oregon
When the state of Oregon was founded in 1859, it was illegal for a Black person to even be in the state. Even after most of those exclusionary laws were repealed, racist terminology in the Oregon constitution remained until 2002. Even today, the population of Black folks in Oregon is only around 3%. But even with all of the barriers in place, Black history throughout the state runs deep. Here’s how to experience some of the Oregon Black Pioneers’ history tours and other significant locations across the state.

Oregon's Indigenous Culture
Oregon is home to nine federally designated tribes, each with their own distinct histories and vibrant cultures dating back to time immemorial. Many welcome visitors to their powwow celebrations each summer and fall. Why attend? “You can learn about Native culture; you can see it right in front of you,” says Diane Rodriquez, a spokesperson for the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians. “You should come so you can learn; you can ask people about their regalia. Maybe it’s been passed down three or four generations. Maybe it’s brand new, made by an auntie or family friend or the person themselves.” Here’s how to attend a Native celebration with respect in Oregon.
