Come and see us this Summer!

The summer weather here is wonderful, it's calm and rural and slow moving except in Portland and Seattle, the wine country is still farmland instead of Disneyland, you often get to taste wine with owners or winemakers, there's lots of outdoor activities, etc etc. In brief- this is a great summer to visit Oregon or Washington!

Email us if you are interested in coming out and let us know where you want to go, and we'll try to help with a little personal assistance- where the locals go, places that don't show up in the guidebooks, etc.
