When the seasons shift, and spring is in the air, it’s the perfect time to stretch your legs and embrace a change of scenery with a quick getaway to Newberg. You’ll experience the best of wine country without dipping into a precious supply of vacation days.

Book a stay starting Thursday evening. Spend Friday working remotely from your comfortable accommodations, or enjoy a change of pace by opening your laptop at a local café or bar in town. By the time the work week wraps up, the weekend will already be underway.

At Lyrics Café, you can enjoy a table downstairs amidst the hubbub of college students and locals, given its location a block away from George Fox University. Or for more privacy, you can book their “Attic” featuring a private workspace for up to four individuals for as short as two hours or all day. The rental fee can be put toward food and beverages from the café.

Activities for a Long Weekend in Newberg

There’s far more to enjoy in Newberg than one weekend can hold, so prioritize your interests and desired pace. For relaxation, book a facial or a massage at The Allison Inn & Spa, or reserve a tee time at Chehalem Glenn. Conclude your day with a showing at the local Cameo Theater or 99w Drive-In. 

If you’re ready to indulge in something delicious, head to historic First Street for meals that satisfy every hope and craving. Enjoy tapas and sangria at Harvest Moon, Oregon’s first and only sangria bar; experience wine country’s seasonal flavors at The Painted Lady Restaurant; marvel at the upscale Mexican fare at Kopitos Cocina; or keep things casual at El Gordito Feliz (locals love the al pastor!) or Bronco Kelly’s.

Wine Tasting Downtown or in the Chehalem Mountains

Ready to take in the views from world-renowned wineries? A short drive into the Chehalem Mountains reveals exceptional Pinot Noirs, sparkling wines, Chardonnays, and more. Prefer to stay close to town? Downtown tasting rooms offer the same varietals, often just a few doors apart, allowing you to explore on foot.

When your getaway concludes at the close of the weekend, you’ll be ready to hit the ground running on Monday with renewed energy and a clearer mind. And when it’s time to look up from the laptop again, Newberg will be waiting.
