More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Fog lifts off the valley floor as your private vehicle threads between rows of short-statured vines. Morning light picks out the ridgelines and the air smells faintly of earth and cut grass — the Willamette Valley setting for a day of curated tasting. Hosts escort you across acres of rolling vineyards, stop at boutique cellars and larger producers, and hand over a picnic lunch at one winery where the table is set for tasting and conversation.

History
Commercial winegrowing in the Willamette Valley ramped up in the late 20th century as growers recognized the region’s cool-climate suitability for Pinot Noir and other European varieties.
Conservation
Many wineries in the valley practice cover cropping, reduced tillage, and integrated pest management; visitors can help by staying on paths, taking waste with them, and following host guidance.
