The Willamette Valley sits about one hour from Portland and is considered a foodie haven full of world-class wineries. And Tributary Hotel’s eight suites offer couples a romantic escape tailored to their preferences.

The hotel’s Sip & Soar offer takes Valentine’s Day to new heights with private jet transfers on Triumph Jets, custom wine-blending sessions, private vineyard tours, exclusive culinary experiences and a mixology session at Multnomah Whiskey Library. Learn more about the package.

 

Tributary Hotel, housed in a restored, 100-year-old building, boasts soaring wood ceilings, exposed historic brickwork and other thoughtful design elements. Each of the eight suites are named after iconic Oregon rivers and feature curated amenities, generous wet bars, elegant bathtubs, and either a private terrace or views of McMinnville’s Third Street. The on-site concierge team can craft bespoke experiences for guests, like private wine tastings and other culinary moments. Mornings begin with en-suite breakfasts from the hotel’s farm and larder.
