Wife and I would like to go and spend 3/4 days there. Any recommendations on towns to stay in or wine tours to take? Thinking of going in late August or early September.

Please post a review after you return. It’s high on my list. Love Pinot Noir.

You can't really go wrong, but I would stay somewhere on the beach. I enjoyed Cannon Beach, but I am told you can't go wrong with any of those beach towns.
David Hill winery is a quaint house with tastings. Outside has a couple of picnic tables which makes for a great picnic spot overlooking the vineyard.
Montinore Estate is a larger establishment with a nice tasting room and great views outside.
Definitely take some time to visit Indian Beach in Ecola State Park. You climb down to a nice beach area.

I've never wine toured Oregon. I have guzzled lots of Domaine Serene and Big Table Farm pinot noir though. Find a way to tour these.

I was hoping this was a hop farm tour......

We stayed in Newburg last summer which is a great gateway to most of the wineries. Quiet little college town with a few decent food and bar options. Keep in mind that outside of a few areas, like the wine country, a lot of the valley is pretty standard farmland. There are a lot of places that feel more like Kansas than the PNW.

Archery Summit has one of the only caves there and good wines as well. Enjoyed the visit to J Christopher, a guy who runs the place lived in New Orleans for a while. Decided to go there after having their wine at August. Argyle was a quick stop if you’re looking for something more in town. Domaine Drouhin and Domaine Serene are solid choices as well plus very scenic.
Did a night in Pacific City and stayed at the inn overlooking Pelican Brewery and the haystack rock. We stayed at Allison Inn in Willamette, which is worth a stop for lunch or a bite to eat. Great wine list and cheese selection.

Would reccomend staying in Portland and splitting tours between Willamette and The Columbia River Gorge, where winemakers are growing Rhône and other French varietals with stunning results. Syncline, Domaine Poullion especially.
In Willamette, really enjoyed Lingua Franca, Purple Hands. Kelley Fox wasn’t open on the day we were in that neighborhood but would have loved to check it out.
