A "High End" Oregon wine country experience.
The Willamette Valley is a lovely place. We have terraced vineyards that produce world class Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, and more. First rate restaurants who feature the best seasonal & fresh fruits, produce, meats, game, seafood, artisan bread and cheeses. But, Napa Valley this is not.
Leave your jewels at home darling, the area hotels do not have room safes. Jeans and Gore-tex are more in vogue than Prada or Armani and things here are thankfully more relaxed than some other wine destinations.
With so many things to get out and see and do, so many different experiences within an easy drive, spending your entire visit at a "destination" resort would be a shame.
Portand, the Oregon coast, Mt. Hood, The Columbia Gorge are all a little over an hour away. Hiking, Fishing, Skiing/Snoboarding & Mt. Biking/Cycling, Rafting/Kayaking are year round sports. A local REI will rent you all the "gear" you need for any adventure.
If that is not your thing however, we do have high end shopping, and to all you who love sparkles and baubles our jewelry stores are tax free.
Touring the beautiful countryside should not be missed.
However, if you do not wish to have your "ride" splattered with the red earth that lines many of the vineyard driveways, there are plenty of great urban wineries, tasting rooms & lodging that are right off the pavement.
The Steiger Haus is a comfortable relaxed "Country Inn" located right in McMinnville and walking distance to dining, shopping & tasting. You have a very good chance of sharing of the dining room with; visiting college professors, wine & food enthusiasts, and we are a favorite of several very interesting wine writers, who stay with us frequently on research trips and have delighted many of our other guests breakfast conversations.
But if "High End" is what you seek, the area has two very lovely inns; Black Walnut & Youngberg Hill. Expansive views, high thread counts, and a more all-inclusive feel.
There really is something here for everyone.
