Oregon, 1 & 2 July 2011

Today was the last full day on this trip, and our 44th Anniversary. So we planned a relaxing day of wine tasting, and dinner at the Village Green resort. We had a very nice suite, with breakfast included. So after a leisurely breakfast, we headed out for a day of wine tasting.

We started with one in town almost across from the hotel. We had mapped out a few, all within a fairly short distance of Cottage Grove. Most we had not been to before.

Lunch at King Estate

We timed our stop at King Estate to have lunch, where we sat on the deck overlooking the vineyards. They do a good job of both the wines and the meals. Yes, we had more than a glass of wine!

We stopped at a couple more wineries after lunch before heading back to Cottage Grove for dinner and the evening. Dinner was included in our package at the resort, including a bottle of good house wine from Chateau Loraine, one of the wineries we visited. Not a bad deal at all.  

Saturday morning is was time to head home. After a leisurely breakfast, we packed and headed home. It was a wonderful ten days of reunion, Yosemite, Crater Lake, and anniversary celebration.
