With over 500 wineries, Oregon Wine Country has become one of the most affluent wine-growing regions. The small wineries, mainly family businesses, work well over a hundred vineyards dotted over the green hills. Do not hesitate to pay them a visit because they often offer tours and tastings. The country roads are lined with vineyards, orchards and open booths selling their wares. The best basecamps to explore the region are Newberg, Dundee and McMinnville.
