The Willamette Valley & Wine Country
Pinot Production
The valley's mild summers and long, wet winters foster the delicate, thin-skinned pinot-
noir grape, the variety that's become famous in these parts. Try various vintages at
winery tasting rooms, B&Bs and wine bars, which are popping up even in small towns.
Steaming Soaks
One of Oregon's best free soaks, Bagby Hot Springs, is a few hours' drive east of Salem.
Climb into hollowed-log tubs here or head down the road to the Breitenbush Hot Springs
Resort, a rustic, laid-back experience with yoga, massage and vegetarian food.
Small-Scale Lodging
As wine country grows, so do its lodging options, and tiny, well-run B&Bs provide the
perfect base for navigating the vines. Look for historic inns, working farms and vineyard
homes with tasting areas and cozy rooms for guests.
