Solar Wine & Brew Tour 2022
NOTE: Bus from Portland and Tualatin leaves at 9 AM! See below.
What is better than solar energy and good wine and beer? Join Solar Oregon for our 10th annual Solar Wine & Brew Tour on Saturday, October 29.
This year we will be focusing on B-Corp wineries and Oregon’s only B-Corp Hop Farm – Crosby Hops! A B-Corp is a business that meets the highest standards of verified social and environmental performance, public transparency and legal accountability to balance profit and purpose. Of Oregon’s 123 B-Corps, seven are certified wineries and vineyards, making up more than any other state or country in the world.
Crosby Hops Farm and their tasting space, Top Wire are going to host the event this year, and beer tasting from around the PNW will be provided as part of the ticket price. Most of the seven B-Corp wineries will be joining in with tasting stations and/or donated wine. On the way, we will do a few “drive by†tours of solar systems and then will visit Crosby Hops Farm solar system prior to arriving at TopWire.
Thank you to A to Z Wineworks, Stoller Family Estate, Chehalem Winery, and Winderlea Vineyard & Winery!

Workshops & Webinars
Solar Oregon provides a variety of solar workshops and webinars. In our monthly How to Go Solar + Storage webinar, we will answer your questions about how solar works, share information about incentives available, and help you take the first step to add solar to your home or business. Participants will come away with basic knowledge about solar energy systems and will be prepared to do more focused research on their own, or start working with a contractor right away.
Our solar and storage workshops are sponsored by the Energy Trust of Oregon. Energy Trust of Oregon provides cash incentives to install solar and contractor connections to experienced trade allies so that obtaining solar for your home or business. Learn more about the incentives offered by Energy Trust of Oregon here.
With solar and storage becoming more accessible, homes and businesses across the state are installing systems. We also host solar showcases to highlight these projects and give you a chance to see how your neighbors and fellow Oregonians are using solar power.
