Wineries with Romantic Views and Settings
It can be a daunting task to plan an itinerary that will allow you to taste a variety of the world-class wineres found here in the Willamette Valley. After all, there are over 300 wine tasting rooms to choose from. However, planning a route by each region will help make the most of your visit. Each of these routes is a treat and offers scenic views along the way, but the Dundee Hills and Chehalem Mountains vineyards are especially scenic. 
While driving through Dundee Hills, stop at Winter’s Hill Vineyard, Archery Summit and Domaine Drouhin for sweeping hilltop views from their tasting rooms. The neighboring Bergström Wines, Elk Cove Vineyards and Ponzi Vineyards also offer beautiful mountain views.
Of course exploring any region in the Willamette Valley will lead to a romantic adventure and great wine. The Cherry Hill Winery has a beautiful 150-acre estate with a small lake, offering lovely views from the tasting room. While Marks Ridge Winery offers a panoramic vista from its location tucked in the foothills of the Cascades. Many wineries also pair their fabulous whites and reds with small bites or even full meals. Additionally, the valley’s charming towns and tucked away locations include award winning restaurants and casual cafes. Find an intimate place for dinner, and you’ll have yourself a perfect way to complete a day in the idyllic countryside of Willamette Valley.
