During harvest, visitors have the opportunity to walk the fields, experience hops at peak freshness, tour processing facilities, and meet the growers, breeders, and processing teams behind every bale. ![Hop Sunset3](https://www.crosbyhops.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Hop%20Sunset3.jpg?width=1152&height=366&name=Hop%20Sunset3.jpg) Beyond the farm, Oregon offers countless reasons to extend your stay. Spend an afternoon exploring Portland's renowned beer scene, enjoy world-class Pinot Noir in nearby wine country, hike behind waterfalls at Silver Falls State Park, or take a scenic drive through the Columbia River Gorge or along the Oregon Coast. Harvest season offers the perfect opportunity to experience everything that makes Oregon special.
