The Charming Small Town in Oregon That’s Perfect For A Fall Day Trip

Oregon’s lush old-growth forests are a major attraction to our state as are the breathtaking coastal areas, and we’re just as in love with them as you are. We’re also proud of small, charming rural communities that are so beautiful and bucolic, especially during the fall when delicious crops are harvested and the autumn colors come alive. One of the best places to visit in Oregon during the fall is Newberg.

Once known as Chehalem and later, Roger’s Landing, the idyllic town of Newberg is awash with vineyards and farms which become mesmerizingly picturesque during the fall. Small-town charm is abundant here and it’s the perfect fall day trip destination in Oregon. Plus, it’s only about 25 miles from downtown Portland!

Gardens and vineyards can be found all over this lovely town and are wonderful places to relax, sip a glass of wine, and marvel at the awe-inspiring beauty of this place. It will invigorate every one of your senses and your cares will float away.

There are so many wineries to visit! Winderlea, Black Walnut, Stone Wolf, Twin Pines, Prince Hill…the list goes on and on. Here’s Trisaetum Winery glowing gold during the fall.

The wine and the fresh air may make you feel like a kid again, ready to frolic in the vineyard with abandon — with the vineyard’s blessing, of course. Take a tour, do some tasting, eat a scrumptious meal, and even stay at a couple of these heavenly wineries.

One of the best and most popular ways to take in the jaw-dropping scenery is to take a balloon ride and see Newberg as a bird would with Vista Balloon Adventures.

At places like The Allison Inn & Spa, it’s like a slice of Tuscany in the heart of Oregon. Vineyards, cypress trees, gardens, rolling hills, and top-notch wines and cuisine make it a paradise.

Take a fall day trip to Newberg and you’ll neither regret nor forget it. In fact, you may end up coming back every year!
