Top Reasons to Go to Willamette Valley and Wine Country

Swirl and sip: Each region in the Willamette Valley offers some of the finest vintages and dining experiences found anywhere.

Soar through the air: Newberg's hot-air balloons will give you a bird's-eye view of Yamhill County's wine country.

Run rapids: Feel the bouncing exhilaration and the cold spray of white-water rafting on the wild, winding McKenzie River outside Eugene.

Walk on the wild side: Hillsboro’s Jackson Bottom Nature Preserve gives walkers a chance to view otters, beavers, herons, and eagles.

Back the Beavers or Ducks: Nothing gets the blood pumping like an Oregon State Beaver or University of Oregon Ducks football game.
