Local Fun
Anne Amie Vineyards
We went wine tasting here the day we got engaged! For more wine tasting options, see this expansive map of the Oregon wine country: https://www.willamettewines.com/about-the-valley/regional-map/
McMenamins Pub at Hotel Oregon
Home of the best burger in Oregon (according to Joyce, mother of the bride), McMenamins is a family-owned chain of funky restaurants, hotels and event spaces, serving handcrafted beer, wine, cider, and spirits alongside good pub food. Order a round of beers and Cajun tater tots to enjoy on the rooftop deck.
Whiskey Tasting at Bull Run Distillery
Awesome whiskey made in Portland!
Bistro Maison
Located in historical downtown McMinnville, Bistro Maison is a classic French bistro in the heart of Oregon's pinot noir wine country.
Chehalem Glenn Golf Course
A great spot to hit a round not too far from Carlton.
The Horse Radish
Great spot for lunch, dinner or Sunday brunch! We had a tasty brunch here after touring Abbey Road for the first time.
Colene Clemens Vineyards
Another winery great for pinot noir lovers! You really can't go wrong choosing a spot for wine tasting in this area. For more wine tasting options, see this expansive map of the Oregon wine country: https://www.willamettewines.com/about-the-valley/regional-map/
BrewCycle Portland
Experience two of Portland's great loves, craft brewing and cycling, at the same time with a BrewCycle! A 2-hour, 3-stop brewpub tour is a fun group activity and an excellent way to see more of Portland's westside. We're pictured above on our first BrewCycle.
Explore the Portland Japanese Garden
Strangely enough, Portland is home to what has been called “the best Japanese Gardens in the world outside Japan.” So if you're staying in Portland, escape the city for a bit to find some zen.
Laurel Ridge Winery
Another fantastic wine tasting spot just 4 minutes down the way from Abbey Road. For more wine tasting options, see this expansive map of the Oregon wine country: https://www.willamettewines.com/about-the-valley/regional-map/
