  2. Located in the Willamette Valley region of Oregon lies the city of McMinville. The city is about 40 miles southwest of Portland, but it occupies a big space on the Oregon map, thanks in large part to the stunning collection of wineries that do business there.

  3. The land where the vines now grow was once farmland that housed livestock and all kinds of fruit trees. That all changed in 1970 when David Lett, a winemaker of some renown, purchased an old turkey processing plant that he turned into a winery.

  4. Once it became known that the soil and climate was perfect for growing grapes, other winemaker soon followed suit, turning this part of the state into a legitimate wine country.

  5. The number of Oregon wineries is rising steadily, and McMinnville is considered by many to be the heart of where the action is in that region. Much of the credit for the success and quality of the wineries in McMinnville has to go to the McMinnville AVA Wineries Association, a group of 8 wineries, local fruit suppliers, and restaurants who do all they can to ensure that the great name that the region has built continues in good standing.

  6. With over 600 acres on land currently used for growing grapes, and new wineries frequently arriving in the area, the group certainly has their work cut out for them.
