I have experienced enough of nature to wonder if there is anything more astounding than viewing it from a scenic hot air balloon ride over Oregon. Vista Balloon Adventures launches from Newberg, Oregon, about 35 minutes from Portland, and offers the most stunning, panoramic views of Oregon’s Willamette Valley wine country, with its forests and inland lakes. Willamette Valley is home to more than 700 wineries and is divided into 11 American Viticultural Areas (AVAs), which are grape-growing regions with specific geographic features that affect how grapes are grown. Because of the special climates required, the area is rich in mountains and ridges, such as Dundee Hills, Ribbon Ridge, Parrett Mountain, Mt. Pisgah Laurel Mountain, and the Cascade Mountains. It is also home to several lakes and rivers meandering through the agriculturally-abundant region. Treat yourself to a new perspective, and book a scenic hot air balloon ride over Oregon.
