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.

Not sure we could have picked a better way to celebrate 30 years of marriage than the gourmet food and wine Salmon River trip. Caroline, our trip leader, was organized, informative, skilled and super fun. All of the guides, Izzy, Jazz, Karen, Nina, Dillon and Bridi were exceptional. I've been on lot of rafting trips and they were easily the best group of guides I've had. The scenery on the Salmon was the star of the show, the guides a solid second followed closely by the food and wine. The entire experience was magical! Can't wait for our next OARS trip!!
