OARS Culinary Adventures
For those with a passion for great food, exquisite wine and a palate for adventure, OARS culinary tours are an outdoor-adventure-loving foodie’s dream. Offered on both the Wild & Scenic Rogue River in southern Oregon and on Idaho’s Main Salmon River in the Frank Church “River of No Return” Wilderness, our signature Wilderness Gourmet trips combine dinner by candlelight on the banks of a wild river (complete with tables draped in linens), mouth-watering regional fare prepared by a renowned chef, fine wines and microbrews, exciting whitewater and gorgeous scenery for an all-inclusive culinary tour showcasing the very best of the Pacific Northwest.
Why not take it up a notch on your next rafting trip? We promise you won’t be disappointed when you’re dining on chef-prepared gourmet meals on the beach, enjoying some of the best “restaurant” views you’ll ever have, and sipping the finest libations under the stars.

Just finished the four night gourmet food and wine trip led by Alyssa with Nicole, Maxine, Ian and Kevin. Best experience of my life. The crew worked together seamlessly. Absolutely no stress. The food and wine were exceptional. And the scenery exceptional. My wife and I took the inflatable kayaks through all but the Class 4's, and are now blissfully exhausted. We'll be back.
