With funding provided through sales of the Oregon Wine Country license plate, Travel Oregon administers a program to make grant awards available to tourism promotion agencies for projects that promote wine and/or culinary tourism. 

There is $540,000 available for the upcoming funding cycle, applicants may apply for grants of up to $50,000 per project and may apply for no more than two projects in the same cycle. Each project requires its own application. Applicants must demonstrate a 1-to-1 match with at least 50% of matching funds being cash.
