A Taster's Tour: Corvallis and the Mid Willamette Food Trail
On the Mid-Willamette Valley Food Trail, you can spend days exploring what makes life at the heart of the valley special. Explore country life with the Taster’s Tour, which takes you on a journey around Corvallis's rural neighbors without stepping foot off the food trail. Experience farm-to-table dining in Corvallis, a selection of wineries in Philomath, and fresh-picked veggies at the Brownsville Thursday Market.
Savor Farm-to-Table Dining in Corvallis
Start your weekend off in downtown Corvallis with brunch at Caves, where your meal is inspired by the culinary landscapes throughout Northwestern Europe and your ingredients are fresh and locally sourced.
Enjoy the offerings of local makers and growers year-round at the Corvallis Farmers’ Market on the downtown riverfront or the Corvallis Winter Market in the colder months. While at the market, pick up some fresh-baked bread from the Bodhi Cafe and Bakery booth or stop by one of their locations in downtown Corvallis.
Your farm-to-table lunch is served at local favorite Castor in downtown Corvallis, a fine dining experience featuring elevated Southern comfort food.
Savor Scenic Views and Liquid Libations in Philomath and Brownsville
Restock on fresh produce, pastries and more from Gathering Together Farm, an organic vegetable farm and favorite among locals and visitors.
Continue your afternoon in downtown Philomath at Compton Family Wines with sustainable fruit-forward, earthy wines using French cooperage. Nearby, a historic covered bridge acts as gatekeeper to Harris Bridge Vineyard and its specialty pinot gris and pinot noir vermouths. Next, head to Lumos Wine Co. where organic wine is poured in a former dude ranch barn.
Finish your trip with a wine-centric, handmade meal at Harpers Wine House in Brownsville. If you're visiting on a Thursday, make time to swing by the Brownsville Thursday Market.
