The Oregon Wine Country EV Byway & “Plug & Pinot”
The Oregon Wine Country EV Byway, also called Plug & Pinot, is a dedicated network that connects EV travelers to wineries, charging stations, and scenic backroads.
- During the annual Plug + Pinot event, EV drivers enjoy a full wine-country route with select wineries offering EV charging and curated tastings.
- The byway covers key wine regions, connecting towns like Dundee, Dayton, and Salem, allowing EV drivers to plan a full-day, eco-conscious wine journey.
Even if you’re not attending the event, the byway network provides a practical roadmap for EV travel through wine country.
