Experience the rich flavors of wine country in this delightful northwest Oregon community

Rural Wineries Agriculture Tourism College

If you had to pick a capital city for Oregon’s wine country, McMinnville would be a strong contender for the title. The small, secluded city is surrounded by vineyards, forests, hills, and rivers, making it a popular tourism destination as well as an idyllic place to call home. Downtown is a delightful walking district of tree-shaded sidewalks and vintage storefronts, the perfect place to grab a cup of coffee, pick up locally-sourced groceries, and of course sample the wine produced just outside of town.

Linfield College, a small liberal arts institution, sits on the south end of town, its gorgeous campus forming one of the city’s most iconic architectural landmarks. The city packs its social calendar with community events, ranging from art exhibitions to farmers’ markets to concerts to the annual UFO Festival, ensuring that there is always something unique to do in town on the weekends. Easily within reach of Portland, Salem, Tillamook State Forest, and the Pacific coast, living in McMinnville allows you to experience all the best that Oregon has to offer without ever having to travel far from home.
