Indulge yourself in Ashland…

Revel in the food, the wine, the culture, the indoor actvities and the outdoor adventure. Simply arriving takes you out of this world and into an experience of a lifetime.

The gateway to the Pacific Northwest and its flourishing scenery, Ashland holds the keys to many opportunities. Lush with the trees and mountains of nature's beauty and filled with culture envied by many cities, this small town welcomes visitors and residents from all walks of life.
In 1935, local professor Angus Bowmer founded Ashland"s Tony Award winning Oregon Shakespeare Festival (OSF). Featuring 11 plays in rotating repertory from February through mid-November, OSF "sets the standard” says USA Today and “is an extraordinary venture” reports England’s Guardian. Audiences from across the globe experience theatre of the highest caliber, swept away into the world of the stage.

OSF planted the seeds for an ever growing cultural atmosphere complete with theatre, music, dance, cabaret, art museums, fabulous dining and the newly recognized treasure of wines.
The only thing limiting you in Ashland is your imagination. With open eyes drink in the hometown feeling as you stroll down the streets in and out of Ashland’s shops and galleries. Stop long enough to dine in one of the many fine restaurants and eateries the town offers and taste why Ashland’s culinary treats brings in visitors from thousands of miles away.

Enjoy the area’s burgeoning wine industry with tastings and tours of local wineries. Visit the Grower’s Market for a delectable display of fresh local produce as you gain insight into Ashland’s culture, people and the true “flavor” of this small town. Take in the talent of local artisans while browsing Lithia Artisan’s Market and the First Friday Art Walk of Ashland’s art galleries. Attend the Oregon Cabaret Theatre, visit the Schneider Museum of Art and the Center for Visual Arts to further experience the cultural riches of Ashland.

If you are drawn to the untouched beauty of the outdoors, ride the rapids in a white water adventure on the mighty Rouge River or follow the snow in winter as you head for Mount Ashland with skis and snowboards. Grab your mountain bikes and hiking boots to explore the path of the Pacific Crest Trail, running through Ashland’s mountains on its way from Mexico to Canada.

Indulge yourself in Ashland as you feed your soul, free your mind, ease your body and grow your imagination.
