Come sample the best
of urban and rural life
For those on the hunt for the best of the Pacific Northwest, Forest Grove is a
popular destination – and, no wonder!
A short drive from downtown Portland, the city’s perch in the foothills of the Coast Range has
made it a mecca for busy urban dwellers looking to recharge and visitors eager to sample the unique
experiences available only in places where the city meets the country.
Experience firsthand the birthplace of Oregon Pinot Noir along the pastoral byways on the outskirts of
town, where more than two dozen wineries will welcome you. Take a leisurely stroll through the oak-
canopied campus of Pacific University or on the “emerald necklace” of trails that ring the city. Glimpse
the past on a historic walking tour or browse the creative wares of local artists on Main Street. Kick a
soccer ball, watch some bison, tour a saké brewery or fly through the towering Douglas Firs on a zip line.
When a single day just isn’t enough time for all that the city and surrounding area have to offer,
affordable lodging options will ensure you can linger for an extra day (or two or three) to indulge in a
few more memorable moments in Forest Grove.
