Aculinary event Oregon Wine Experience®, (OWE), will host its
2022 celebration August 17-21 at its new location – under a 38,000

Oregon Wine Experience is going to the next level,” says Andrea
Reeder, vice president and executive director of Asante Foundation.

“My family has been a steward of this land since the 1950s, and the
current family members charged with its care have a vision to create a
wine-country focused community. We also have a passion for economic
