Get up and enjoy the drive. Make sure to take the old highway and slow down. Watch for turkeys and old grain silos. Don't miss the Brownsville museum. Old train cars nothing better.

There is a reason why it is often called "God's Country". It is beautiful here. I left when I was 17 and came back full time when I was 66. Of course returned for visits frequently when a way as I could.

THE place to travel for the best Pinot Noirs in the world. Lush vineyards all over the place, beautiful drive south of Portland.

Some of the best wineries are just a little south of Portland and extend into the Dundee area. Close to several hundred to choose from. You're sure to find something you like.

This valley is one of many beautiful valleys in Oregon.You can enjoy the farmland scenery or go for a wine country tour. Many attractions along the way. Nice parks everywhere!

The valley is like the green belt of the world in spring and summer, crops are growing and harvesting. Wonderful to take a few hours and sample 3-4 wineries, take a picnic lunch and enjoy.
