Eat
Red Hills Kitchen
Elevated but still casual, the Red Hills team’s McMinnville outpost has become our favorite happy hour and brunch spot (the salmon bene is amazing). Their streetside patio is warm weather perfection. At the Atticus Hotel; open for dinner.
Pura Vida
Fresh and delicious latin-american cuisine on Third Street. We love the tacos, taquitos, and chile relleno. Indoor and outdoor seating.
Community Plate
Our favorite breakfast spot with a great location right on Third Street. Try the hash (and say yes when they ask if you’d like a mimosa).
Experience
Miller Woods
Having a beautiful nature walk within 15 minutes of downtown McMinnville is a gift, and Miller Woods is a total local treasure: 130 acres of woodlands, with a 3.7 loop hike (easy with small hills, and runnable), two ponds, picnic areas and wildlife viewing opportunities. Day use donation of $5 is suggested. No dogs or […]
Shop
Yamhill Valley Dry Goods
Casual everyday and outdoor activity clothing. Great stop if you need something for an impromptu hike or coast trip! !
Third Street Books
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.
The Merri Artist
Charming art supply store on Third Street with a great selection and friendly, knowledgeable service.
Mes Amies
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 Farmer's Market
Open May – Oct on Thursdays, with local produce, meat, cheese, flowers and dry goods.
Flag & Wire
A third gen coffee spot in the Granary District, roasting our favorite beans in the area. Try the Woodsman (a killer cappuccino lightly sweetened with maple), or a pourover Ethiopian.
Harvest Fresh
We do all our grocery shopping here at this convenient spot on Third Street, within walking distance to The Park House. Lots of organic and local produce, fresh meats, cheeses, and dry goods in the bulk bins. For a quick, short-wait lunch, grab a sandwich or salad from the deli eat at their outside tables.
Sip
The Bitter Monk
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. […]

Elizabeth Chambers Cellar
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.
