Just less than an hour’s drive southwest of Portland in historic Newberg, the 85-room/suite Allison Inn is the elegant gateway to Oregon’s distinguished Willamette Valley, known worldwide for its sustainable agriculture, family-owned vineyards and innovative winemakers, such as Sokol Blosser, developing, in particular, world-class Pinot Noirs. On 35 hillside acres of a sustainably master-planned 450, the four-level boutique hotel includes a vanishing-edge swimming pool with floor-to-ceiling glass doors opening to the south gardens; 100-seat locavore restaurant, JORY, whose name recalls the glacial soil that helps make the area conducive to Pinot Noir and the region’s excellent fruits and nuts; and The Allison Spa, whose nearly 15,000 square feet offers 12 treatment rooms including a private suite. Dream deep, drink deep.
