What to Do in Newberg

Here’s a breakdown of experiences by type — with our insider tips and local hidden gems.

Wine & Vineyard Adventures

Newberg’s wineries are the main draw — and you’ll want to plan ahead for tastings, reservations and transport.

  • Visit boutique vineyards in the AVA region including stars like Adelsheim Vineyard.
  • Make tasting reservations early — many smaller estates require appointments.
  • Consider hiring a driver or using a local wine‑tour service so you can relax and sip safely.
  • Insider tip: Leave room in your schedule for a spontaneous stop.

Couples & Romantic Retreats

Looking for a romantic escape? Newberg has you covered.

  • Choose a Cascadia Getaways rental that offers privacy, vineyard views and comfortable amenities.
  • Book a special dinner — for example, at Jory Restaurant (at Allison Inn & Spa) for a farm‑to‑table fine‑dining experience. 
  • Enjoy sunset‑walks through vineyards or a hot tub‑equipped rental under the stars.
  • Insider tip: Avoid the busiest tasting hours (typically midday) — start your day early and end with golden‑hour views.

Family‑Friendly Fun

Wine country doesn’t mean “no fun for kids” — Newberg offers activities the whole family can enjoy.

Weddings, Groups & Events

Newberg’s scenic vineyards and valley views make it a superb backdrop for weddings, retreats or group stays.

  • Book a large Cascadia Getaways home (4‑6 bedrooms or more) to accommodate bridal parties or family groups.
  • Coordinate group activities: vineyard tours, group dinners in downtown Newberg, or a nature walk the next morning.
  • Planning tip: For event stays, book the home first, then coordinate the vineyard‑venue and logistics (parking, transport, lodging) to keep things smooth.

Downtown & Nature Exploration

Don’t miss the town itself or the surrounding natural beauty.

  • Stroll downtown Newberg: boutique shops, local cafés, art galleries and charming streets.
  • Visit the historic Hoover–Minthorn House (1890s era) to add a bit of cultural depth. 
  • Nature lovers: Try light hikes such as Bob & Crystal Rilee Park (mentioned above) or other local trails.
  • Insider tip: Arrive early in the morning for quieter parking at trailheads; bring layers—Willamette Valley weather changes quickly.
