oregon travel week: wine tasting in the willamette valley

The Willamette Valley is the go-to location for wine in Oregon. You can hop on Route 47 and take it down to southern Oregon, hitting world-class vineyards all along the way. 

Oregon makes some of the world's best Pinot Noir.  While Pinot Noir is not my favorite type of wine,  I never say no to wine-tasting. The only problem with wine tasting in the Willamette are the fees! Some of the tasting rooms were charging $15 per tasting...which is pretty expensive when you want to hit a couple of vineyards!

 

The Willamette Valley is stunning, and you would be hard pressed to find more scenic vineyards. So even if you don't love Pinot Noir, it is worth a visit down route 47!
