Oregon Wine Tours:
Oregon's Crush on Wine
Envision
yourself picnicking in rolling hills on a warm autumn day. Enjoying a fresh baguette,
local cheese and a glass of wine that you just purchased directly from the winemaker.
No need
for a passport to experience this leisurely scene, simply travel to Oregon's Willamette
Valley. The ornate countryside of Oregon's Willamette Valley is a wine-growing
region of rare distinction and 2003 is setting up to be another outstanding grape
harvest for Oregon.
Just minutes from the bustling Interstate 5, the region including Yamhill County,
Clackamas County, Salem/Marion County, Albany, Corvallis and Lane County has plenty
of wineries that devote much attention to producing distinctive Pinot Noir, Pinot
Gris and Chardonnay. The
wineries in Oregon's Willamette Valley pride themselves in offering a relaxing
and inviting experience for guests. Often it is the winemaker himself pouring
samples and explaining the intricacies of his creation. Inviting
picnic areas at some wineries entice visitors to bring a meal and sample the wine
at its source. Events around Labor Day weekend and Thanksgiving also encourage
folks to bring their friends and family out during the exciting harvest and crush
season for the wineries. Combined
with romantic country inns and memorable dining establishments, Oregon's Willamette
Valley is a savory treat waiting to be sampled. | |
