With Halloween here and gone, many people are now turning their attention towards the busy holiday season ahead, which means it’s time to find unique, one-of-a-kind gifts for all your friends and family on your holiday shopping list. There’s no better place to find outstanding gifts – and have a fun time doing it – than the historic streets of downtown McMinnville!
Downtown McMinnville sits at the heart of Oregon’s thriving wine country, so if you have a wine lover on your list this year, it’s a great place to pick up a perfect gift. However, if you aren’t shopping for a wine enthusiast, you’ll still find plenty of unique and memorable gifts at the various boutiques in downtown McMinnville. As a bonus, there are several great wine-tasting rooms, restaurants, art galleries, tap houses and more to enjoy in between visiting shops – it’s a win-win holiday shopping destination!
Don’t cut your time short in downtown McMinnville, though. There are plenty of things to do in the Willamette Valley that are more than worth your time. Winter is referred to as Cellar Season in the valley, which offers you the opportunity to visit local tasting rooms and Oregon wineries at a more leisurely pace–possibly mingling with the winemaker. Give yourself a few days to enjoy it all, and book a room at our downtown McMinnville Bed and Breakfast.
Our McMinnville Bed and Breakfast is steps away from all the top shops, restaurants, and tasting rooms, and we offer uncompromising luxury and exquisite hospitality. It’s the perfect place to rest, rejuvenate, and recharge this winter without sacrificing your precious time to get things done during this busy season. Book your room at our McMinnville Bed and Breakfast!
