Oregon Adventure - Day 1

Carlton, Oregon - The Willamette Valley is known for exceptional pinot's and we couldn't wait to experience the local wines. We started out almost needing a sweater this morning while enjoying coffee and pastries from the local "Carlton Bakery" with our wonderful hosts Jeff and Vicki Weiss who own the Carlton Farmhouse.





If you want a great home base for exploring the area, you can't pick a better vacation rental. Built in 1893, this home has the original hard wood floors, shiplap walls, a fully outfitted kitchen, furnishings hand picked by the owners while shopping at local stores, comfy beds and thick towels. We highly recommend!






We tasted wine at three wineries Elk Cove, Patton Valley (meh) and the summer bbq at Coleen Clemmons - lovely wines. 











Dinner was a special treat. Agrivino is a restaurant that showcases pure Italian cuisine during a 5 course wine pairing dinner. The chef produces family recipes from his grandmother "Nonna Agnese". We experienced new foods that were lick the plate clean delicious.
