10 Pinot noir was Oregon's specialty grape long before the film Sideways

pushed it into the limelight. Cruise the roads around the towns of New-
berg, Dundee and McMinnville, at the heart of Oregon's wine country ( Click

If you'd like to stay longer than a day there are plenty of B&Bs, along with some
gourmet restaurants - all of which offer even more opportunities to sample the
Dionysian nectar.
