If you're having a hard time finding places to go on Monday (we've all been there), here's a list.
Dundee
For those looking to connect with the history of wine production in the Willamette Valley, Stoller always has a place on our list. A former turkey farm, they have deep local roots, lovely wines, a stunner of a modern tasting room (LEED certified)… [read more]
Carlton
Our go-to recommendation for tasting in Carlton with high-quality, low intervention Pinot, Chardonnay and sparkling and one of our favorite winemakers, Grant Coulter managing the vintages. Founder Marty is an architect, and their restoration of Carlton’s grain elevator is a must-see… [read more]

Salem
Stunning views, friendly people, beautifully designed tasting room and of course, lovely wines. Their estate chardonnay is one of our favorites – whole cluster, mostly neutral oak, unfined. LIVE certified sustainable.
McMinnville
The perfect little independent bookstore with lots of local reads, especially food/drink related, and a mix of used/vintage finds within the stacks. Great for gifts and for the littles.
McMinnville
Charming art supply store on Third Street with a great selection and friendly, knowledgeable service.
McMinnville
My go-to boutique – I think half my wardrobe is now from this fab shop! There’s a ton of variety of style and price, a great selection of accessories for completing your outfits, and a treasure trove of thoughtful gifts. I also love their good mix of Portland, PNW and west coast designers and makers.
McMinnville
Fresh and delicious latin-american cuisine on Third Street. We love the tacos, taquitos, and pollo en aji (for dinner). They’re also now serving breakfast, which is much needed on Third Street! Indoor and outdoor seating, family-friendly vibe.
