Why I love Oregon Wine Country
In Newberg, community isn’t just a word—it’s a way of life. Our town is defined by its people: passionate, innovative locals who are constantly reimagining what it means to create a vibrant, welcoming community.
Where to Stay

They’re in downtown Newberg, super cute, “affordable” - The Allison Inn & Spa

Where to Eat
- Gusto
Their paninis are so good, along with their salads and stuff – it’s also affordable! - Hayward
I always order the “kickback” — $85 for whatever the chef wants to serve you! It’s awesome! There’s also a fermented element on every plate. One of my all time favorites. - Grounded Table
