General presentation
Willamette Valley
Vineyards, farms and small towns in the great valley of Oregon.
The discovery of Willamette Valley revolves around Silver Falls, Evergreen Aviation Museum and Oregon Garden. The stay thus alternates between the countryside and the heritage, which gives a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only most well-known site.
See all
For a stay of 3 to 6 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: variable influx depending on the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Nature and panorama
Silver Falls
Silver Falls It is best known for the Trail of Ten Falls, a forest route that connects several waterfalls in a set of ferns and basalts. Some falls cross from the back, with the water curtain in front of you and the damp wall at hand.
Culture and heritage
Evergreen Aviation Museum
In McMinnville, the Evergreen Aviation Museum first impressed by the Hughes H-4 Hercules, a huge seaplane nicknamed Spruce Goose. Around it, military aircraft, civilian aircraft and space-related elements tell the story of aeronautical engineering in a very concrete way, with machines that are observed closely rather than simple panels.
Culture and heritage
Oregon Garden
In Silverton, Oregon Garden is hosting a series of theme gardens where roses, dwarf conifers, ponds, vegetable gardens and plantations cross, adapted to the climate of the valley. The visit is suitable for a slow stop in the Willamette Valley, especially in the spring and summer when the mountains change from one area to another.
Place indismissible
Newberg
Newberg serves as a peaceful gateway to the Willamette Valley vineyards, with a compact city centre, tasting rooms and vineyards planted with vineyards all around. The stage is especially for travelers who want to mix pinot noir, small agricultural roads and gourmet addresses without getting far from Portland.
