Wonder Off on a Whiskey Trail while Wine Tasting
Distileries Setting Roots Amidst Willamette Valley Wine Country:
A Whiskey Trail has carved its path amidst the Willamette Valley winecountry. The past year saw the birth of Oregon's first Wine Country Whiskey Trail—a collaborative effort among six distilleries scattered across Newberg, Dundee, Dayton, and Carlton. These establishments, often stumbled upon by wine tasters, decided to band together, offering visitors a curated journey through the diverse world of Oregon whiskey. The trail invites guests to explore each distillery's unique offerings, learn about their distilling processes, and savor the flavors of carefully crafted spirits. The program includes a passport (hard copy and digital versions are available), allowing visitors to easily plan their route, study up on each business’s backstory, and collect stamps along the journey. Once you’ve worked your way through the booklet, show it to the final distillery you drop by to collect a prize: a labeled rocks glass.
