YOUR VACATION GUIDE TO OREGON WINE COUNTRY The rich soil and flowing rivers of the Willamette Valley support a variety of life, from lush forests and thriving vineyards to picturesque cities and towns offering shopping, farm-to-table dining, and numerous wine tasting rooms. Of course, the Willamette Valley is home to fantastic wine — namely Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris and Chardonnay — as well as many other varietals. With over 500 vineyards and wineries in the valley, there is enough variety and diversity to last a lifetime. Here, between the glistening waves and rugged cliffs of the Pacific Coast and the funky streets of Portland, you’ll find McMinnville. When you visit, you’ll experience a charming downtown historic district, a diverse selection of excellent restaurants and tasting rooms, eclectic shops, and a thriving art scene. Moments away from it all, guests discover an elegant inn and vineyard nestled in the heart of Oregon Wine Country. Youngberg Hill makes it’s home amongst the rich greenery and rolling hills of the beautiful Willamette Valley. Our premier wine country estate sits atop a 50- acre hilltop, looking out over magnificent, sweeping views of our vineyard and the surrounding scenery. Oregon is a very green and sustainable environment, and we are proud to follow this tradition by organically farming our amazing 30-year-old vineyard. As passionate farmers and winemakers, we are thrilled to share, educate, and talk wine. Whether you experience our award-winning wine through a visit to our tasting room, unwind in our stunning 9-room inn, or choose to host your dream wedding/event, Youngberg Hill creates authentic wines and experiences that will have you falling in love with life again. Wineries/Vineyards There are over 500 wineries in the Willamette Valley, and over 150 wineries, tasting rooms, and vineyards within 20 minutes of Youngberg Hill.
