Valley & Vineyards

The Willamette Valley offers stunning landscapes, world-class wines, and charming small towns. From boutique shopping to savoring Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, there’s something for every traveler to enjoy.

In the Willamette Valley, we’ll explore McMinnville, Oregon, with its charming downtown and numerous vineyards producing world-class Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, and Chardonnay. Many fine restaurants have grown to match the quality of the local wines. We suggest taking a wine-tasting tour—visit the tasting rooms to learn about the wine, the vines, the terroir, and the people who grow and craft these exceptional wines. You can pair this with shopping or a leisurely stroll through downtown, with your B&B or Flat on Third Street within walking distance.

​

Also in McMinnville is the Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum, home to Howard Hughes’ Spruce Goose, the largest wooden plane ever built. The museum also features engaging science films in its theater. Along the way, you’ll have the opportunity to pause for a wine-tasting session, not only to admire the breathtaking vineyards but also to savor the exquisite creations crafted by the talented winemakers of the region.
