Showcase experience: Food and wine trek in Yamhill County Yamhill County is wine country, where artisan vintners craft complex Pinots, and creative chefs use the region’s bounty as their palette for innovative menus. Start at the northern end of the valley, in Newberg, and make a private appointment to visit Chehalem Winery, one of Oregon’s best small premium wineries. Across the street is Rex Hill Vineyards, a retired nut-drying facility that now produces Pinot noir, Pinot gris, Chardonnay, Sauvignon blanc and Riesling. From Newberg, the rolling hills lead South to some of the region’s oldest and most innovative wine producers. To sample vintages from across the state, visit one of the Willamette Valley’s founding culinary outposts, Nick’s Italian Café, whichoffers an extensive wine list, lunch and a five-course dinner. For fare that is uniquely Oregon, Dundee Bistro’s menu highlights wine country ingredients with dishes like Roasted Mushroom Pasta and Calrton Farms Pork Tenderloin. Stay at A’Tuscan Estate in McMinnville and be surrounded by historic decor. Cooking classes are available upon request, but before you start, visit the McMinnville Farmers’ Market for fresh, locally grown fruits, vegetables and eggs, as well as gourmet cheeses, wine and fresh flowers from the region. Plan a getaway to Yamhill County, and you’ll leave with an appreciation for the dedication to artisan food and drink that region is famous for.
