Here's a curated list of where to eat, go wine tasting, shop and more in Oregon's wine country: our personal travel guide to the places we love most in Willamette Valley (including Newberg, Dundee, Carlton, McMinnville and Amity) and Portland metro areas. This is a work-in-progress - much more to come!
McMinnville
Probably the best beer bar we’ve been to, anywhere. It’s a locals hangout but very friendly to visitors, too, with a great staff (say hi to Becky and Henry for us!), always a couple of cider options, and great people watching. No food served, but you’re welcome to bring your own in from nearby restaurants. Under 21 not allowed inside our out; dog-friendly outside.
McMinnville
Open May – Oct on Thursdays, with local produce, meat, cheese, flowers and dry goods.
McMinnville
Winery in downtown McMinnville producing pinot gris, pinot noir, and a delicious rosé. It’s an especially good spot for enjoying the weather spring through fall on their beautiful patio. Open until 7pm on Friday and Saturday.
