In my August 1 post (Reason #12), I promised to add some of Jamie Goode’s stops on his tour of Oregon Wine Country. If you recall, Jamie is a London-based wine writer, currently writing for The Sunday Express, the national newspaper in the UK. He really is one of the most widely read wine writers.
After attending the International Pinot Noir Celebration, he set off on a 4-day tour of our section of heaven. An interesting tour for you would be: go where he went. To help you, I put the wineries he visited on my “Oregon Wine Country and Willamette Valley Vacation Planner Map.”
When I am finally done with this map, it will be THE DEFINITIVE MAP of Oregon Wine Country. It now has shows two sets of wineries. The blue pushpins are the wineries that won at least one award in the 2008 San Francisco International Wine Festival. The yellow pushpins are the wineries Jamie visited on this trip. The red pushpin is where the Kelty is, your starting and ending point for this great tour.
And by the way, I should mention, we are the only B&B in Wine Country with our own limo service. You drink. We drive. Check out All Events Limo.
All four of articles on the great Oregon vineyards Jamie Goode visited are on a single page of his blog. Start at the bottom of the page for Day 1 and work your way to the top. In my map, when you click on one of the vineyards, you can easily click on the website for a given winery. So read and look at the map together.
In my next post, I will show you how to pick the wineries you want to visit and calculate the shortest route. It’s very cool if I do say so myself.
