The 14 th Annual Solar Wine Sun-Lite Tour by Solar Oregon will be on Friday April 24 th this year! We are simplifying and changing it up a bit this year. There will be solar information, solar systems to learn about, and wine tasting to be enjoyed, all in support of Solar Oregon! This year it is a self-guided tour, hosted by three amazing Oregon wineries.

How it will work: Support Solar Oregon with a sliding scale donation, $20 to $30, which unlocks special discounted tastings at the host wineries. If you want to become a Solar Oregon member, select the special membership option for $35, which includes registration.

After you register and submit your donation to Solar Oregon, you will receive a map and instructions on organizing your custom, self-guided tour to the three winery hosts that have given a special discount to all guests! Each host winery is offering a $10 wine tasting of two wines and discounts on additional wine and food options. We look forward to seeing you on April 24 th 2026.

Plan your Day:

Make reservations for Elk Cove at one of their three morning timeslots, 10AM, 11AM, or Noon. Link for required reservation will be in your welcome email after registration.

Visit Eminent Domaine and Ridgecrest between 11AM and 4PM on April 24 th 2026. Drop in, no reservations required. Note that they are next door to each other! A map will be provided in registration confirmation email.

Tastings selected will be paid by you, the guest at each winery, either individually or by group if you are travelling in a group!

Bring your own lunch or pre-order food or a cheese plate from Elk Cove. Ridgecrest and Eminent Domain have a “picnic welcome” approach at their lawn picnic tables. There are many great places to lunch in the valley too!

Elk Cove Vineyards: Back for a second year of hosting Solar Oregon, Elk Cove boasts a new tasting room, a new solar system at their Five Mountain Vineyard, and a multi-generational winery owned and operated by people that really care. Elk cove was one of the first wineries with solar, both in vineyard for irrigation pumps and on their winery. Instructions will be given upon registration for making your required reservation. Don’t forget to pre-order a cheese board or food if you intend to eat at this amazing tasting.
