Willamette Valley Puns

I’m planning a trip to the Willamette Valley for my honeymoon and want to get some feedback and impressions with respect to our winery selections. Primarily hunting for great Pinot noir but absolutely won’t turn up our nose for other reds, whites, roses, and sparkling. Looking across a variety of price points here as well. All of them are scheduled and confirmed with the vendors but I’m able to sub most of them, so want to get some perspective if you would steer away from one of these and what you’d look at in its stead:

1. Teutonic - Portland (already love their rose)
2. Youngberg Hill
3. Trisaetum
4. Beaux Freres
5. Bells Up
6. Evening Land
7. Brooks
8. Keeler Estate
9. Lenne
10. Gran Moraine (I think this one is the only non refundable one)
11. Lemelson
12. Antica Terra
13. Ayoub
14. Domaine Drouhin
15. Soter (last one of our trip; a LOT of recommendations)

Note: I tried to get in at Patricia Green (closed for our dates) and Eyrie (tasting room closed). I recently subbed out Archery Summit and Coeur de Terre (OUT) for Ayoub and Evening Land (IN). Considering a Domaine Serene taste at their tasting room in Portland itself because we really would like to try their wines but got some feedback that their winery location is a bit stuffy and aggrandized.

EDIT: Wow, I’m blown away by all the feedback! It truly seems there’s so many incredible wineries in the area!

I’ve made some quick edits to our plans based on your recs:

OUT:

1. Keeler
2. Brooks
3. Lenne

IN:

1. Brick House
2. Cristom
3. Lingua Franca
4. Battle Creek

Gonna see if there’s any other time in our Portland portion we could fit a few others in! And hopefully in a few weeks time I can share our experiences! Cheers yall!

I’m planning on starting my own nano-cidery in about two years, and the plan is starting to come together. I’ve been able to get apples from one orchard near where I live, but I’d like to find more apple varieties to try, and ensure that I can get enough apples consistently. Also, my guy I get from is pretty flaky and hard to get ahold of. Any good orchards in the area with cider or heirloom apples I can get large quantities of would be great.

I live in western Oregon, I’ve meet a few pagans and witches around my area but i wanted to know if there was a coven near me or if I should try to collect enough people to form one.

Florida driver here. I am moving to coastal Oregon for a USDA job this winter but I'm going to be by myself and have a fuck ton of down time. I plan on filing this like I do now, Ubering - so much healthier than drinking, watching porn, and buying shit on Amazon that I don't need.

What is the market like - specifically Newport south to Yachats ? I don't really care about the other side of the Siuslaw Mountains because I won't be going over there.

Hey guys, I was just wondering if someone could help clarify some confusion I'm having. Does anyone remember a creepypasta about Willamette Valley? I have this distinct memory of a Willamette Valley Organization or Willamette Valley Association that was tied in with some sort of sketchy psychological experiment conducted by the Government... It was either a news article or, more plausibly, a creepypasta pretending to be a news article. When I google it, I get the happy valley dream study, but I know that's not it. If anyone could point me in the right direction I would be super appreciative.
