About 200 miles southeast from Portland is the dream getaway of any fisherman or fisherwoman. If you follow the North Umpqua River through its twists and turns of placid pools, juxtaposed with sections of rapid currents, you will enter into 31 miles of fly-fishing only territory. You will also find an inn that embodies the true spirit of fishing from its rich history to its nightly fisherman's dinner.

Located in the high desert of central Oregon at the eastern foothills of the Cascade Mountains, Bend is famous for its many forms of outdoor recreation.

Offering warm weather activities like rock climbing and hiking, kayaking and rafting, fly fishing, golfing, mountain biking to stellar winter sports such as skiing and snowboarding at nearby Mt. Bachelor as well as cross country skiing, sledding, tubing and snowmobiling in the Deschutes National Forest. To say there are endless opportunities for outdoor fun is an understatement.

The gentle rolling hills of the Willamette Valley are home to over 200 of Oregon's renowned vineyards. The climate in this wide valley is known for its long and gentle growing season. The warm summer days, cool evenings and wet, mild winters with a long rainy spring season make it a pinot grape grower's version of heaven. With all this going for it, pinot grapes are still a finicky bunch. It is said that each change in the climate can be tasted in the glass. Maybe it's that very challenge that makes it such a beloved wine, and one so many vintners grow.
