Beer fans, raise a glass, because come October 1, there’s a fun new way to connect with breweries in McMinnville, Newberg, and nearby. Visit McMinnville has launched a beer passport program called the Yamhill Valley Beer Adventure. Think of it as a DIY beer crawl and a great way to explore the area and try out new-to-you breweries.
Pizza Capo, the quickly beloved 3rd Street institution, opened in 2019, but the pizzaiolos tested their recipes and skills as a food cart first, often popping up at what is now Foreland Brewing.
McMinnville Art Alley, between Davis and Evans Streets in downtown McMinnville, is now open and boasts seven new vibrant murals.
Something is brewing….🍻 Introducing the Yamhill Valley Beer Adventure Passport, launching October 1st! Explore Oregon’s countryside in a whole new way, sipping and stamping your way through the valley’s best breweries and cideries. Known for its world-class wines, Yamhill Valley is also a hidden treasure for craft beer and cider lovers. Designated drivers, you’re part of the fun too! Enjoy complimentary non-alcoholic drinks at each stop and collect stamps for a special prize—our way of thanking you for keeping everyone safe. — How it Works: Pick up a free passport at any participating location and enjoy a beer or cider at each stop as you collect stamps throughout the journey. Earn prizes once you complete the passport! To learn more, click the link in our bio or visit yvbeeradventure.com #oregon #mcminnville #beer #passport #yvbadventure

There’s nothing like gathering with friends for a laid-back evening filled with good food, local wine, craft beer, and even better company. Picture this... A late summer night with pizza from @_pizzacapo , cracking open a beer from @heaterallenbeer , salads drizzled with @durant_oregon olive oil, and wine from @yamhillvalleyvineyards and @brittanvineyards . As the night cools down, you gather around the bonfire, sipping on @forelandbeer and making s’mores with chocolate from @vadnaychocolateco . As summer winds down, these are the moments we hold onto—this is the heart of McMinnville living.
