Imbibe On The Best
It doesn’t take more than a sip or two to understand why the Willamette Valley has been named the “Best Wine Region in the World for 2016” by Wine Enthusiast. This Valley also produces hops and where there are hops, there’s beer—wood-aged, wild, and farmhouse-style beers. You’ll drink it all up. To top off the beverage narrative, Portland is also making its mark in distilled spirits. Suffice to say by the end of our time together, you’ll be saying Willamette Valley like a local!
