When you think Willamette Valley Oregon, the first thing that comes to mind are the acres and acres of wine grapes, the wineries and the Oregon Wine Country. But did you know that the Wooden Shoe Tulip Farm has over 40 acres of Tulips, Daffodils and other cut flowers in full bloom from now through April? And this time every year they open their fields and expand their operations to include taking bulb orders, cut flowers, potted tulips, a gift shop, other plants, and all sorts of food and activities on weekends.
'Spring is here and a beautiful time to plan a trip to the Willamette Valley.
Plan to come and enjoy the Wooden Shoe Tulip Festival , which opens on March 30th and runs through April 30th. Enjoy over 40 acres of tulips and daffodils along with variety of activities each day and special events on the weekends. Activities and events are planned for all ages.
Order your bulbs for fall planting, buy cut flowers, visit the gift shop and even enjoy good food while you’re there.

Roselyn from the R. R. Thompson House in Carlton, Oregon, writes about what you can can do for Spring Break in the Oregon Wine Country:
Evergreen Wings and Waves Waterpark in nearby McMinnville will be open every day during Spring Break and Easter period -- the last week of March and the first week of April. The educational waterpark includes ten waterslides and a wave pool. In addition, a children’s museum is dedicated to teaching students about the power of water. The building housing the waterpark is topped by a Boeing 747 aircraft. Here's a video of the huge plane being hoisted to the top of the building:
The waterpark includes ten different waterslides for everyone's taste. In addition to just plain fun, the waterpark teaches youngsters about the wonder of science and the power of water through interactive exhibits and learning tools. Here's a video of one of the waterslides:
Wings and Waves is part of the impressive Evergreen Aviation and Space Museum complex, a jewel in Yamhill County. This is an attraction visitors to the north Willamette Valley will not want to miss.
The waterpark meets all ADA guidelines, according to the Evergreen website.
After the Spring Break and Easter periods, the park will be open Thursday through Sunday until June when it will again be open daily. Please check the website for days and times of operation before your visit.

Set among the rolling hills of Yamhill County, Abbey Road Farm B&B lies in the very heart of Oregon's Wine Country. Currently, some 18 wineries call our little town of Carlton home and these are just a fraction of the more than 200 that are within a half hour's drive time from the farm centrally located in the Willamette Valley.
The B & B is located on an 82 acre working farm in the middle of Yamhill County's wine country. After purchasing the farm in March of 2003 the Stuart's needed to create a plan of action and decide what their "crops" would actually be. The property came with 2 acres of Queen Anne Cherries, a delicious variety used principally in the making of maraschinos, so that choice was simple. Next, with 60 acres of open ground it seemed appropriate to consider a low maintenance perennial like fescue grass. Today, grass seed has become Oregon's primary field crop. The side benefit is that they now have what amounts to a huge lawn! Their third "crop" would be dairy goats.
In January of 2005 they initiated the process of converting the old grain silos on the property into the unique Abbey Road Farm Bed & Breakfast "Silo Suites". Each room has a spectacular view of the valley, wetlands, pastures and/or gardens. And although this is a working farm, the accommodations are more like what one would find at a resort.
The Stuart's had a desire to build a Bed & Breakfast as a place that they themselves would want to visit. Hence, the fabulous views, a location in the country yet accessible to nearby cities, and a place surrounded by nature and featuring nothing but the freshest food.

While you are out enjoying and exploring Oregon's Wine Country stop in at the
Evergreen Aviation and Space Museum outside of McMinnville, home of the
Spruce Goose. In March 1990, the current owner of the Spruce Goose, the Disney Corporation, announced that it was closing the exhibit located in Long Beach, Calif. The Aeroclub of Southern California was notified and they immediately began the search for a new home for the Spruce Goose. In 1992, the Evergreen Museum won the bid with a proposal to build a museum around the aircraft and feature it as a central exhibit.
The Evergreen IMAX theater was completed in 2007. Work began on the space museum building in September 2006. As of mid-June, 2008, there are now two main large exhibit centers open to the public, consisting of aviation, where the Spruce Goose acts to anchor the other exhibits, and space flight, in another, matching, new large building. The current center of the space flight exhibit building is occupied by the SR-71 'Blackbird', which originally rested under one wing of the Spruce Goose. Flight simulators for landing the space shuttle, as well as for Gemini capsule docking and the Lunar Excursion Module moon landing, are available for use by visitors now.
Evergreen Wings & Waves Waterpark, a nonprofit educational Waterpark that includes four waterslides, a wave pool and a children’s museum dedicated to teaching visitors about the power of water is the newest addition to the Evergreen Complex.
With so much to see and do in Oregon's Willamette Valley Winecountry you'll need to stay a few days. The Oregon Bed and Breakfast Guild has many unique accommodation choices in the Valley, some near McMinnville and the Evergreen Aviation and Space Museum.
Oregon's winemakers are stewards of the land. Many use sustainable farming practices in their vineyards where they delicately nurture their vines to produce incredible wines.
For a true taste of Oregon Geotourism we invite you to explore the 16 Wine Regions in our Oregon Wine Country and taste some of our quality wines. Be sure to take some home for your personal wine cellar and as gifts for family and friends.
Willamette Valley Vineyards created
Cork ReHarvest, and began the cork recycling movement in the US and Canada in 2008, helping to collect and recycle some of the 13 billion natural corks that are produced each year. We've all seen the cork bulletin boards but cork can be recycled into insulation, furniture and yoga mats. In Oregon, Cork ReHarvest partnered with Western Pulp, which incorporates collected corks into packaging material used for, you guessed it, shipping wine.
Make your reservation at an
Oregon Bed and Breakfast Guild member inn. There's one is every Oregon travel region. And after your sustainable travel vacation through the Wine Regions of Oregon is over and the last sip of fine wine has been savored be sure to recycle that cork.

A view from any room in this newest Oregon Bed and Breakfast
Guild membership inn is the best view in the house!
From atop a hill, surrounded by acres of vineyards, sits the
Wine Country Farm. True to its name, this inn is perfectly situated in some of the most fertile land in the country and yes they do take advantage of that by producing some of the best wine in the valley as well.
In the inn keeping business for about 20 years, Joan
Davenport runs quite an operation at her inn in Dayton. Not only is her 9 room bed and breakfast a full time job, her
winery keeps her pretty busy too. And there's more!
Last September, I had the pleasure of seeing Oregon wine country via horseback.
Equestrian Wine Tours guided this wine and horse lover through vineyard after vineyard and wineries where we filled our saddle bags to the brim with the best of Oregon wines. So, needless to say, when I drove up to the Wine Country Farm, that awesome memory of last fall came flooding back when I realized this is the inn where I took that ride from. I highly recommend it to anyone who loves horses and/or wine. The saddlebags are big enough for several bottles and the horses don't mind waiting around while you taste!
An inn, an event center for weddings, parties and gatherings, a winery and horse stables for that wine ride and the perfect spot for all the fun in one place.
Wine Country Farm has it all!
Welcome Joan and Wine Country Farm to the best line up of bed and breakfasts in the entire state of Oregon. We are glad to have you on our list of
