5 Ways to Celebrate Father's Day in Corvallis

Corvallis is known for wineries and craft beer, but don't forget - we've got distilleries, too!

Enjoy a tasting at 4 Spirits Distillery, located at 3405 SW Deschutes Street in Corvallis, and sample whiskeys, vodkas and more, plus enjoy a delicious meal. Or head out to Philomath and discover Marcotte Distillery, at 1732 Main Street, where you can try out flavored moonshine.

Get out on the green! Corvallis is home to three golf courses, all of which are open.

Enjoy Trysting Tree, just over the Willamtte River on HWY 20, and which serves as the home course of the Oregon State University golf team and features championship-worthy golf and practice facilities; Diamond Woods in Monroe, which offers a unique and exciting layout for a challenging golf experience to golfers of all levels; or Albany Golf in nearby Albany, which offers an 18 hole championship golf course that has hosted the Oregon Open.

Corvallis is surrounded by trails that are perfect for hiking, biking, and horseback riding, and we've got hikes and rides for all skill levels.
