Celebrate Thanksgiving at the Willamette Valley 2008 Wine Country Thanksgiving
On November 28, 29 and 30 at the 2008 Wine Country Thanksgiving over 100 wineries will be open to the public. Some of the wineries are not open to the public any other time of the year. Activities at the individual wineries include music specialty foods, barrel tastings, tastings of new releases and older vintages. The Willamette Valley is Oregon’s leading wine producing region with over two-thirds of the state’s wineries. It is known to be one of the world’s leading Pinot Noir producing regions.
The Willamette Valley is a large area with six sub-appellations: Chehalem Mountains, Dundee Hills, Eola-Amity Hills, McMinnville, Ribbon Ridge, and Yamhill Carlton. It is sixty miles wide and has a long gentle growing season and compares favorably with the Burgundy and Alsace regions of France. For visitors, the valley is a 45 minute to 2 hour drive from Portland, Oregon.
