Pre-takeoff checklist
We've done the Napa trip, and now want to do either Washington or Oregon...any one have any suggestions/experiences with either? We would want to go for roughly a week, so we want to make sure there's enough to do.
2 words....Walla Walla. I would put any wine produced here toe to toe with anything anywhere. Beyond that, the Marcus Whitman hotel is where you want to stay. I do not know of best airport, FBO, etc.We've done the Napa trip, and now want to do either Washington or Oregon...any one have any suggestions/experiences with either?

You may want to try Paso Robles next time, excellent wine country and different than Napa.
Yes, and you can do a "Sideways!"
225 wineries in Paso Robles... Great FBO at PRB... Rental Cars.... Great downtown with dozens of shops and restaurants.. The Pacific is 20 mins away....
"If anybody orders Merlot, I'm leaving. I am NOT drinking any f***ing Merlot!"
I love that scene
California has another wine region - Livermore, with great airport right in the middle however I would be hesitant to recommend it as a long-distance wine destination simply because IMHO it isn't very pretty as an area. But Paso is absolutely great and has different look/feel than Sonoma or Napa, it's wines are also top notch. There is also Hearst Castle nearby as additional attraction.225 wineries in Paso Robles...
