Day 1 : Shelton McMurphy Johnson House (Tue-Fri only)

Also known as 'the Castle on the Hill', the Shelton McMurphey Johnson House is the area's only Victorian House Museum. Built in 1888, the house has become an architectural landmark in the community. Set on the south slope of Skinner Butte, with incredible panoramic views of Eugene. 

Offering 400 varieties of roses in a spectacular setting along the Willamette River. The garden will enchant with its abundant roses and what is believed to be the country's oldest and largest Black Tartarian cherry tree, planted in 1847.

The Museum of Natural and Cultural History (MNCH) is Oregon's primary repository for publicly owned collections. Officially created in 1935-36 as the Oregon State Museum of Anthropology and Museum of Natural History, the museum has its roots in the late 1800s, when Thomas Condon joined the University of Oregon as one of its first three professors. Condon brought an extensive fossil collection to the UO, later known as the Condon Museum or Condon Collection. Today, as the premier natural and cultural history museum in the State of Oregon, the MNCH is home to hundreds of thousands of ethnographic and archaeological objects, fossils, and biological specimens from Oregon, the Pacific Northwest, and around the world.

The Cascades Raptor Center has one of the largest collections of native raptor species in the Pacific Northwest. Visitors can view nearly 50 birds of prey in large outdoor aviaries. The Cascades Raptor Center’s Wildlife Hospital provides high quality medical treatment and rehabilitation to over 250 sick, injured, and orphaned birds each year.

After lunch we start our wine tasting excursion through Oregon’s legendary Pinot Noir country. Eugene’s close proximity to the Southern Willamette wineries brings us to our first winery in less than 30 minutes. Will will visit 3 wineries on the tour and taste several varietals at each one with nibbles along the way for pairing pleasure. We chose your winery visit based on season and day of the week and each will have a unique and different experience, from boutique to Estates, to enhance your tour experience. Your Tour Guide will educate you on the region from history to terroir to elevate your wine tasting experience.
