About Plug & Pinot
With Oregon Wine Country destinations becoming a part of the West Coast Electric Highway with the addition of electric vehicle charging stations, five destinations – Elk Cove Vineyards, The Joel Palmer House Restaurant, Sokol Blosser Winery, Stoller Family Estate, and Winderlea Vineyard and Winery – are collaborating to drive awareness of electric vehicle tourism and sustainability. Plug & Pinot is the first event this group has planned to drive traffic to the Oregon Wine Country, specifically to electric vehicle charging destinations, and show the strong infrastructure for accessible chargers these vehicles have in the Willamette Valley.
