Willamette Valley

Lots of shopping and great food ! Lots of cool spots to eat out at. Nice weather in the summer.

Amazing wines, big bold reds too. Southern hospitality. Real crystal glasses, complimentary cheese boards. McMinnville is a artsy, delicious restaurant and boutique town. The top of the old bank building, now a bar and b and b has the most stunning 360 views. Treat yourself to class, relaxed ambiance.

Went to visit this beautiful vineyard while staying in Portland for a long weekend. It was an hour drive away and we had a great time. Our private tour with Allison was awesome - she was very knowledgeable about the vineyard practices and the wines even though she had only been on week 6 or so of working there! They had some wines we really loved - the Tualatin Estate Pinot noir was delightful - and others that were just okay (we were not huge fans of the whole cluster Pinot noir). They include a cheese plate with the tour which my husband enjoyed and they put together a vegan plate for me. Overall we had a wonderful time and we really enjoyed Allison’s energy as well as the history she taught us about and the pours that kept flowing 😊

I live here. That’s not why it gets two stars. The homeless population has exploded since the pandemic and it doesn’t help the California keeps busing more and more of them up here. So much meth and fentanyl. Larger cities in the valley look like some kind of zombie apocalypse. It’s disgusting and disturbing

Lush farming Valley between the Coastal and Cascade Ranges in Oregon. Very close to the beach and the mountains.

Gorgeous place with all kinds of views!

This place is incredible for wine. All of the wines are great! A lot of places waive the tasting fee if you buy some wine.

Amazing assortment of wineries with wonderful people.
