Top 10 Wine Regions

Oregon

While Oregon’s southerly California neighbor may get all of the glory when it comes to wine-making, that’s not to say that Oregon doesn’t produce equally glorious wines in its own right. In fact, many speculate that, if it weren’t for the state’s more longstanding stint with Prohibition, the region today would be the de facto forerunner in the US industry! All the same, Oregon presently lays claim to close to 320 wineries, which turn out more than 40 varieties including Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Merlot, Riesling, Syrah, and many others. The Willamette Valley is the state’s thriving center (and the largest region), luring connoisseurs with its internationally acclaimed Pinot Noir and plethora of charming wineries that occupy some 100 scenic miles between Portland and Eugene. This picturesque valley is a great place to ponder the pioneers who were lured this way via the Oregon Trail while enjoying some fantastic local wine on an impromptu picnic lunch or a hot-air balloon ride. We recommend basing your stay in Dundee or McMinnville, where good restaurants and quality inns abound.
