The Williamette Valley
A taste of Burgundy in the Pacific Northwest
Nestled in the foothills of the Coast Range Mountains, between Portland and the Pacific Ocean, is the Willamette Valley. More than 200 wineries inhabit this 242-kilometre-long fertile stretch where the climate is cool and moist, with the right amount of sunshine to grow tempermental pinot noir grapes, the red grapes for which Burgundy, France, is renowned.
