A warm, inviting, and genuine friendly atmosphere is what you’ll find on your next getaway to McMinnville, Oregon. Whether it’s the nostalgic feeling of walking below the majestic maple trees lining the historic downtown’s shopping district, or the satisfying sensation of drinking some of the world’s best Pinot Noir grown and fermented at a vineyard just down the road, you’re sure to experience the warmth and friendliness in McMinnville. Dining at an award-winning farm-to-table restaurant, shopping, wine tasting, and McMinnville hotels and lodging experiences as uniquely welcoming as the town itself are just a few of the adventures you can tackle in a weekend or a week.
In all my 2020 travels, I want to do more than simply visit a place. I want to make the most of each experience. I want to better understand the people who live and work there. I want to turn left when everyone else turns right. By doing this, I’ll appreciate each destination that much more.
This is Cellar Season, that time of year when the vines are dormant, the world of wine moves indoors, and the weather doesn’t discourage adventurous visitors looking to make some wine discoveries.
Arts and culture offer an astonishing variety of choices for the holiday gift-shopper in McMinnville, nearly all of which may be found in our festive downtown. Here are a few recommendations for nurturing imaginations and shopping local this season.
