Modern Adventure takes the health and safety of our employees, guests, and partners very seriously. Our health and safety protocols during your trip such as physical distancing, masking and other safety practices will be in accordance with up-to-date local regulations in your destination. You will be informed of any specific protocols aheads of travel, and in-destination by our local guides and/or Modern Adventure trip leader.

Our accommodations offer free Wi-Fi. Cell coverage is generally comprehensive, except for a few spots along the coast.

You can ship bottles or cases of Oregon wine directly to your home, as long as the winery has a Direct Shipper Permit from your state's alcohol control authority (most wineries do).

Be aware that many wineries will not ship wine during summer months or intense periods of heat, because of possible damage to the wine.

Some airlines (notably Alaska Airlines) will let you carry on a case of Oregon wine at no additional charge.

If your destination requires proof of a COVID-19 vaccination and/or negative test result taken within 72 hours of travel, you will be required to confirm that you are fully vaccinated with an authorized COVID-19 vaccine, and/or have tested negative for COVID-19, and have the required documentation to prove it. Otherwise you will be ineligible to participate on the trip, and ineligible for a refund.

If you are on prescription medication, you should ask your doctor for a letter detailing your condition and prescribed drugs. This prevents possible issues at customs and helps the local doctor if you need to buy medication while traveling. If you wear prescription glasses or contact lenses, we recommend you bring an extra pair and a copy of the prescription in case of emergency.

Oregon in July is the most glorious, wonderful time of year. The weather is sunny, the summer days are long and warm (tending to hot). Daily highs are around 78F, and lows averaging 53F. Despite Oregon's rainy reputation, the Willamette Valley sees fewer than two days of rain in the month of July. On the Pacific coast the weather is equally mild, with daily highs around 68F and evening lows around 50F.

We’ll spend time in smaller towns where both casual and elegant will be equally appropriate depending on the situation. We do not dine anywhere that requires a sports jacket or tie.

Mornings and evenings can be chilly and the mid-day sun warm, so layers are always a great option. We’ll spend time on foot during this experience with light hiking at some locations, so make sure to bring sturdy walking shoes. We will travel by private bus between destinations, so you might want to pack along a pair of headphones for the ride.

Additionally, a bag that closes completely (such as a backpack) prevents personal items from falling out when stored, and is a better option than an open purse. There are a few additional items that we recommend you to bring:

• Hat (to protect yourself from the sun)

• Sunscreen & sunglasses

• Sturdy walking shoes

• Phone charger

• Headphones

• Travel pillow

• Ear plugs

We curate your Modern Adventure to ensure all experiences are immersive and included in your trip price. We recommend bringing enough money with you for a few meals on your own, as well as any wine, souvenirs or local arts and crafts you might like to bring back with you.

Most gratuities and tips are included in our trip price. Please note, however, that tipping our local and Modern Adventure guides is at your discretion; to show your appreciation for good service, we recommend tipping each guide $75 - $125 per guest.
