We are geeking out on wine! I won’t bore you with all the details, rather I’ll just show the pretty pictures 😁 Plus mention that today we scheduled a hike through the vineyards in the heat 🔥. Yikes! Luckily it was at 11:00. It cools off a lot once the sun goes down. It’s one of the reasons this area makes great wine. When we went for our early morning walk it was in the low 60’s. Sadly it wasn’t quite that cool on our vineyard hike but they provided water and wine along the 1 mile, 500ft elevation gain hike.
Last night, way after the sun set, we ventured out. Our AirBnB is only a few blocks from 3rd Street – old town McMinnville. They close the street to traffic on the weekends and setup tables for dining and wine tasting. By the time we went it had cooled off significantly and the place was hopping. In a few minutes we are going to venture over there. Perhaps we’ll try one of the free wine tastings our host left us, or get ice cream, or maybe go to one of the breweries…
