PORTLAND, Ore.,\u00a0July 23, 2013\u00a0\/PRNewswire\/ — Fall is a great time to visit Oregon Wine Country. Visitors can experience the harvest and some of the most spectacular weather the state has to offer. And this year, enjoying\u00a0Oregon\u00a0wines once you get home just got easier thanks to a partnership with\u00a0Alaska Airlines<\/a>, the\u00a0Oregon Wine Board<\/a>\u00a0(OWB) and\u00a0Travel Oregon<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Starting\u00a0Sept. 10, up to a case of\u00a0Oregon\u00a0wine can fly home with visitors free of charge, thanks to the new Oregon Wines Fly Free program.\u00a0 Domestic Alaska Airlines passengers can check one case of wine at no charge on their return flight out of four\u00a0Oregon\u00a0airports\u2014Portland,\u00a0Eugene,\u00a0Medford\u00a0and\u00a0Redmond\u00a0as well as\u00a0Walla Walla, Wash.\u2014through\u00a0Nov. 20. In addition, passengers showing their Alaska Airlines boarding passes within a week of their arrival in\u00a0Oregon\u00a0will receive complementary tastings at any of more than 180\u00a0participating Oregon wineries<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Partnering with Alaska Airlines and Travel Oregon to help visitors to\u00a0Oregon\u00a0experience the beauty and bounty of our amazing wine country, is a no brainer,” said\u00a0Tom Danowski, executive director of OWB. “Increasingly, the customers of\u00a0Oregon\u00a0wine are the same customers being courted by Alaska Airlines and Travel Oregon.”<\/p>\n

While Alaska Airlines has similar Wines Fly Free programs in other wine regions,\u00a0Oregon\u00a0is the first to implement the promotion for the entire state. Alaska Airlines is also a sponsor of\u00a0Feast Portland<\/a>, the flagship food and drink festival in the Pacific Northwest to be held\u00a0Sept. 19-21.<\/p>\n

“Alaska Airlines is dedicated to the growth and development of our markets, so this program is a natural for us,” said\u00a0Clint Ostler, manager of media and market strategy for Alaska Air Group. “We’re pleased to support\u00a0Oregon\u00a0wineries while giving our customers one more reason to visit the state’s incredible wine regions.”<\/p>\n

“We know that\u00a0Oregon’s\u00a0scenic beauty not only affects the sense of place in every taste of Oregon wine, but it also inspires visitors to purchase\u00a0Oregon’s\u00a0artisan products,” said\u00a0Todd Davidson, Travel Oregon CEO. “In fact, we know from a recent study that at least 43 percent of\u00a0Oregon\u00a0visitors said they are more likely to purchase\u00a0Oregon\u00a0products than before their trip. Now they can bring home not only memories, but\u00a0Oregon’s\u00a0award-winning wines, as well. “<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
