re: Willamette Valley

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.

My two cents worth, not being a wine enthusiast. If you are in the Gorge, go to Maryhill Winery. The winery itself sits on the cliff overlooking the Columbia River Gorge. Absolutely stunning views of the winery and the river below.
The wineries are not that far from Portland, if you want to stay in Portland and take day trips.
The Evergreen Aviation Museum is very cool. Glenn Odekirk, who co-designed the "Spruce Goose" was my grandfather's cousin. He was allegedly on board with Howard Hughes for the plane's only flight, and was Howard Hughes' right hand man for many years. He also co-designed the H-1 Racer.
ETA: Here is the view from Maryhill. They also host concerts there, so you might want to check the schedule. Watching the sun set in the valley while enjoying a concert would not suck.
