Two or three days in wine country??

My husband and I are planning an Oregon/Seattle trip in September and want the Oregon wineries to be a definite part of the agenda. My question is, how long is enough to spend in this region (Dundee, McMinnville?). It%26#39;s either 2 or 3 days for us. One of the days we will probably embark on one of the ';wine tours'; offered. Suggestions?!?



Two or three days in wine country??


Hi, I would go for 2 days. Torii Mor, Sokkol Blosser, Domaine Drouhin, Archery Summit and Domaine Serene are my favorites in the area. We also like Ponzi.





We have had nice meals at Tina%26#39;s in Dundee, Dundee Bistro and Joel Palmer House in Dayton. I have reviews of these places on this forum if you%26#39;re interested.





We also enjoyed Scott Paul in Carlton. There is a Winemaker Studio there that is nice. I also have a review with photos of this wine country attraction under the Carlton Forum. Cheers! :)



Two or three days in wine country??


I am local, but not good with wine stuff, but son and family camet to town recently Our d-i-l and 22 yr old gr-d wanted a wine tour with my wife. we got some really great help. check back a few posts, Mistletoe and Mtngrl particularly good help





They had a great day Think Rex Hill as start point was good highlight for them




KattIndy--Here is a link to Phirl%26#39;s thread. Two days is plenty of time here for our wine area.

It would be nice to know the rest of your itinerary before recommending how much of it should be spent in wine country, but two days is plenty, three overkill, and one might be enough. With two days, I%26#39;d spend one in the Dundee/McMinnville area, and the other around Carlton and NW Newberg. If you%26#39;d like specific winery suggestions, ask. I think syrahgirl visited all those she mentions in two short afternoons.





Any particular reason for taking a tour? And have you found one that will just take the two of you, or do you have a larger group to hook up with? The few companies I know do customized tours for groups, but don%26#39;t have regularly scheduled tours you can plug into.




Make a not that Argyle is across from Tina%26#39;s in Dundee, not the Dundee Bistro as mentioned in phirl%26#39;s thread. Loved Tina%26#39;s, BTW and Dundee Bistro is also good, a bit more upscale than Tina%26#39;s and the Ponzi wines are very good. :)




Oops, make that ';make a note...'; :)




I think you must be directionally challenged, syrahgirl. ;-) Argyle is directly across 99W from Dundee Bistro. Not that anyone asked or cares, but if you%26#39;re going to go through the trouble of providing information like that, at least get it right.




Mistletoe is correct on where Argyle is. At least yesterday when I last went by there, that is where it was.




We have had DISASTEROUS results following ';THAT GIRLS'; info in the past.I can not stress enough ,no matter how many thousands of times she posts her nonsense,please stick with the wonderful locals,,,not an ocaccional visitor with mustcontinuallykeepposting-itis




budr--Please come visit. I would love to personally take you to the Dundee Bistro and buy you a drink:)
