Visit craft breweries and artisan wineries while winning prizes with the Eugene Ale Trail and Pinot Bingo programs. Known as Track Town USA, Eugene is home to track and field year-round; in the fall, it’s a college football hub. There are scenic bike rides and urban hikes to fit visitors of all abilities in all seasons.

Museum of Natural and Cultural History

And you thought your sneakers were in rough shape: this museum's best-known artifact is a pair of 9,000 year-old shoes.

This museum on the University of Oregon campus is great, and our family had a very enjoyable hour or so exploring the four main exhibits. We started with a good welcome from a volunteer docent, who explained the different areas, and then we explored each exhibit at our own pace. I really enjoyed the video clips in the Native American exhibit, especially the ones featuring the cedar canoe, but all of the information displays and dioramas were really well done. The traveling water exhibit from the Smithsonian was awesome--eye-opening and a sober reminder how we can't afford to take this precious resource for granted. The fossil section was packed with great displays as well, and our favorite prehistoric mammal, the giant sloth, was featured! The video of the TED talk on the reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone NP was awesome, and really highlighted the huge number of positive changes that came about due to the presence of the wolves. A lot of museums overwhelm you with their floors and floors and great halls filled to overflowing with exhibits and massive displays, but the Museum of Natural and Cultural History in Eugene was just the right size for our family to explore on a summer afternoon.

Silvan Ridge Winery

Silvan Ridge Winery was founded in the southern Willamette Valley near Eugene, Oregon in 1979, a time when only a handful of true believers foresaw the incredible potential of Oregon as a world-class wine region. Today our winemaking team is committed to crafting highly individualistic wines that express the nuance, grace, character and complexity the Willamette Valley is known for.

An exceptional experience with the help of Kathy. One of the oldest wineries in Oregon, with a great location. I was shown the fermenting tanks and was surprised at their size. The wines were very good and Kathy helped us book our flight home. Thanks!
