McMinville is a good place to stay for travelling around the Willamette valley. We stayed at a VRBO but there are a few hotels there. There are a few places in McMinnville to visit and some good restaurants like Thistle in town. There are quite a few wineries in the area to visit also.

I highly recommend a casual but tasty lunch at Red Hills Market.

La Rambla in McMinnville has a great selection of small dishes. Many winemakers dine there. Eclectic wine list.
