An annual event is nigh that will celebrate the 20 years since the creation of the Chehalem Valley American Viticultural Area in 2006.

Wineries that make up the nonprofit Chehalem Mountains Winegrowers association will hold the Magic in the Mountains wine tasting event from 1 to 4 p.m. May 30 at The Allison Inn & Spa in Newberg.

“This highly anticipated tasting event will showcase wines from 39 Chehalem Mountains’ wineries, paired with live music and delectable bites from four local purveyors,” a release said.
