Stretching 150 miles through Oregon, the Willamette Valley is legendary for being one of America's great wine regions. At the heart of the valley, is Corvallis and Albany which both offer spectacular scenery, plenty of art and culture, and some of the best wineries in the Pacific Northwest.

Spring marks the beginning of the wine season for many local wineries, and it's a great time to savor the flavors of the Willamette Valley.
