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.
The museum opened two years ago with the name Chachalu, a Kalapuya word meaning “place of burnt timbers.” In the spirit of inciting you to get there pronto, writer Emily Grosvenor shares six powerful moments her family recently shared there.
Wineries throughout the region open the doors during the Thanksgiving holiday weekend for a tradition nearly as old as the industry here. Special events are planned. Musicians perform. Food is on the table. And, everyone is invited to visit and discover what’s inside the bottle.
Right on the heels of a case I had closed like Forever 21 I got a hot tip about a place out northeast of McMinnville that has tongue’s wagging and wine lovers up in a tizzy. They call it Stoller Family Estate.
