The Salem region’s outdoor experiences are like a spa treatment for your soul. No matter the activity - hiking, fishing, kayaking, paddle boarding or cycling - you are surrounded by spectacular beauty. Farmland, thick green forests, vibrant gardens, rolling hills of vineyards…this is the backdrop of all our outdoor experiences.

Oregon’s history is alive and well in Salem through historic museums, walking tours, events and festivals, a woolen mill, churches and the city’s architecture.  Even our heritage trees have a story to tell.

The cultural scene in the Salem area is bursting with diverse events and festivals, as well as visual and performing and wearable art. Theaters with intimate settings, art festivals in parks, music on the street corner or artisan wares in local shops; the region is colorful and energizing.

The Salem region’s rich and fertile soil and moderate climate are prime for growing everything from grapes and hops to corn, mint, wheat and flower crops.  Needless to say, the wine is award-winning, and the food is fresh from the farm.
