Okay Venue In Need of Updating. I'm mainly here to review the county fair, but I have been to…read moreseveral events here, and the only thing the fairgrounds need is updates to the buildings, they are very very old and in some cases, in need of repair. About the County Fair: Not everyone is going to like a particular county fair, and some are more eventful than others, I would rate this above average for a count fair, and I've been to around 10 different ones in Oregon, even to the tiny Morrow County Fair, which I loved btw. First, Any mention of tigers, registrants, etc, are nothing to do with the county fair itself. A caged tiger is NOT animal abuse anymore than a caged butterfly, that's absurd. You do realize most tigers in existence are only captive bred, and it is because of this, we can still see this marvelous species, particular White Tigers which no longer even exist in the wild. These tigers used in a zoo or show or exibhit are not wild, they are captive bred, and have been, in most cases for well over a hundred years. Unfortunately this is not what some ill-informed ppl would have you believe. If they were being wild caught for anything other than rehabilitation, maybe, but they're not wild. It is not anymore child abuse than keeping a cat, dog, reptile, or hampster. Some animal rights activist are against that as well btw they just don't b usually say it, and rating a fair 1 star when the tiger want at the actual fair, r is duplicitous and deceptive when the fair is based around livestock and other animal exhibits which havn't been wild either, it's ridiculous, you don't have to like it, but it is not prison, slavery, genocide, or abuse. Two, I've been to this fair 5 times and it is one of the better county fairs in Oregon, it is a relatively fun fair, and I didn't have to pay for concerts, at least not the ones before vthe "main attraction", no idea what ppl are talking about. Stop making everying about politics, and being silly. it's a fair, it is not more expensive than other county fairs, minus really tiny ones, like Morrow County, I would know, I've been there. Third, the food is fairly priced, and I have enjoyed it, there are good selections for a smaller fair, and for fair food, things are not exorbitant in cost. 4, I don't know what people expect, maybe they haven't been to many small county fairs? I have been to many in Oregon, and the Marion County fair from where I'm from, is not much better, and Marion is a MUCH larger county. Douglas county on the other hand is smaller and has a fabulous county fair; probably the best county fair in Oregon. Benton County is a decent fair and I enjoy it every time I go. ~Amy

Proof that Oregon Wine Can Convert a BBQ-Loving Texan…read more Y'all. I didn't think I'd say this, but here I am -- a brisket-fueled, bourbon-sippin', proud son of Texas -- absolutely swooning over wine. Not just any wine. We're talkin' about the handcrafted, small-lot, soul-swirlin' nectar served up at St. Innocent Winery -- a place so peaceful and picturesque, it made me question why I don't live in a vineyard-covered valley full-time. My wife and I rolled up to this Willamette Valley wonderland expecting a decent lunch and some light sipping. What we got was a full-blown sensory revival under a cherry-red canopy, surrounded by forested hills that looked like they were painted by God himself after three glasses of Pinot. We opted for the St. Innocent Story Flight -- five sips of vineyard-designated poetry. My wife, being the classy half of our duo, paired hers with the Sip & Savor Experience, which was essentially an edible sonnet: summer vegetable soup so smooth it could run for office, a goat cheese tart so tangy it made my eyebrows dance, a Thai-style spare rib that nearly caused me to curse in delight, and a chocolate mousse topped with pistachio and freeze-dried strawberry that straight-up healed childhood wounds. Me? I stayed true to my roots and ordered the BBQ sandwich. Because even in Pinot country, a Texan's gotta do what a Texan's gotta do. And y'all -- that sandwich slapped harder than a summer sunburn. Juicy, smoky, piled high, with a crunch of pickled slaw and a side of ridged chips that made me weep a little. Paired with that 2019 Momtazi Pinot Noir? I felt like I was sittin' in the arms of a wine-soaked angel. Our server was a gem -- part sommelier, part tour guide, part miracle worker. She suggested we tack on the 2020 Shea Vineyard Pinot and the 2023 'Not So Innocent' Grauburgunder (a rosé of Pinot Gris). Both were showstoppers. We left with a bottle of the Grauburgunder like it was a souvenir from heaven. And just when I thought the experience had peaked -- bam! A quick tour of the facility gave us a peek behind the curtain: barrels like art installations, a tasting room polished to a shine, and a staff that clearly loves what they do. St. Innocent Winery isn't just a tasting stop -- it's a full-body, full-soul, full-Texan-approved revelation. TL;DR: Come for the wine. Stay for the views. Leave with a bottle, a smile, and a belly full of joy (and probably BBQ). Five stars and a raised glass from this grateful Texan.

The Bard Chard and Blush Rose are a good start, but if it's the reds you crave, you'll crave all of their reds. Katrina and Scott are always helpful and fun to talk to, and very knowledgeable. It's so hard to choose from the different combinations of clones, all estate grown, so we are always tempted to buy one of each. The prices for the wines (deserving of Oregon Winery of the year in 2020) are outrageously affordable, currently $40/bottle for the estate's best. With it's unique micro-climate, the vineyard overlooks Marys Peak adding to the ambience of the tasting room and deck. Our dogs have always been welcome!. Summer music on Friday nights adds to the experience which is always laid back and chill. This vineyard may be a bit off the beaten path (in fact, a great trail head one more mile down the road!), but well-worth the visit. Thanks Dan and Nancy Tom and Pat

The cherry on top is his wine is delicious!! I loved his Pinot Gris, rose and blush and my husband loved his "Dijon" Pinot noir. It's super easy to get to and a beautiful drive. It's 15-20 minutes to Corvallis which is great for us since our son is at OSU. We love that they are a Harvest Host location. When we got there, we went into the tasting room and they directed us the best place to park. After we got set up, we got a couple bottles of wine, brought some snacks from our rig and played bocci ball on the court they have, then just sat back and relaxed on the patio. We will definitely be back!! Love the location, the view and the hospitality!! And Dan got a new wine club member out of my father in law.
