Visit Oregon’s Wine Country
Our central location and local attractions make us one of the best places to stay in Willamette Valley wine country. The Willamette Valley has become one of the nation’s top wine producing regions due to the mild, coastal climate and nutrient-rich soil. With more than 300 wineries in the area, the region has established itself as one of the most premier locations for producing Pinot Noir. The first grapes were planted in the mid-1960s by Eyrie Vineyard. As time progressed, more and more wine-makers settled in the valley.
The success of Oregon’s wine country has generated a new wave of tourism in the area. Everyone wants to find out what the buzz is all about! Not only is The Vintages Trailer Resort smack dab in the middle of Willamette Valley wine country, but you’ll also find family-friendly museums, a water park, and award-winning restaurants nearby.
