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.
Restaurants or other places where you can grab a bite onsite, either from their kitchen or a food truck/cart.
McMinnville
Equally good for the bar (Patrick mixes up classic + creative cocktails) as it is for a date night-worthy dinner in the dining room. Make sure to reserve a table for the dining room; walk-ins are accepted at the bar, but it’s small and can sometimes fill up.
