We had an event near Salem so we thought we'd stop by. It's so quaint, gorgeous and proved to be lovely get away for the afternoon. It's not overly large as you can most likely walk and enjoy the trails, gardens and sights in about 30 minutes. There is a house tour but only on limited days/times and the day we visited was not one of those days. Beautiful flowers, tucked away benches and meandering trails all made for a wonderful walk. I highly recommend and it's free to walk around!

I had the chai with oat milk and cinnamon and my girlfriend had a toffee espresso and caramel glazed coffee. I think I will hit this place up tomorrow before leaving town to try another one of their specialty drinks. They also have a little bit of everything else, jewelry, clothing, lotions, lip balm etc. super cute place to meet up with friends and grab something creatively crafted to sip on.

We dropped by here today and tasted some wine…read more Summer was on staff there and she was able to give us the story of the winery's origin. Which was very interesting but I'll let her tell you about it when you visit. On my way up there I discovered there was a Groupon for $20 you could get a tasting of eight wines for two people. So, I purchased that which was a great deal. It turns out it's a misprint there is actually only six wines but still a great deal. This was a weekday visit and they had some prepackaged food for purchase and also soft drinks. We purchased a couple meat and cheese trays and went outside to enjoy the wine. It was nice outside finally under 80 and air quality not terrible for a pleasant change. They have a great many tables and chairs and umbrellas outdoors making it a nice stop for spring and summer. The wine club sounded intriguing and I'll definitely ponder that as everything tasted great. I'll definitely be back to try it again.

Well it could be any of the unique handcrafted gifts in the shop, from locally made soap, a new pair of earrings or a stained glass sun catcher. There were so many things to tempt me, but the best part of my visit was learning about the classes offered. They just wrapped up Chinese Calligraphy, and do leatherwork, handmade beads, stained glass and crocheting. This wonderful place is the labor of love shared by three sisters, one of which I met and shared the story of how the idea came to be. An artist herself, Lynne is always looking for ideas and teachers to lead a class and showcases local artisans crafts within the store and featured on the walls. They currently have fresh cut trees and garland available for the holiday season. I left with a crocheted Yip Yip (Sesame Street), a fragrant sage / mint soap and a couple of scrubbers, a Billion New Friends (Eugene) Blackberry Herbalism Kombucha, and a couple of scones (Spanikopita and chocolate). I'm excited at the idea of adding classes to my wishlist and finally getting something I'll truly enjoy! Support local small businesses and reach out to them if you have ideas for classes or teachers.

What a spot! These sorts of places are my very favorite type of business. Part art gallery, part…read moregift shop, part cafe...The old store is so darn cute and they've really kept the character of the building. It's one of those places where, even though it's not all that large, you could really spend some time wandering as there is a lot to discover and you don't really know what you might find. I zeroed in on lots of beautiful rock and gem specimens and beautiful artwork on the walls. They also had local honey and just lots of local goodies, which always makes me so happy. My husband and I were there for a stained glass workshop so I grabbed a hot chocolate and he got a latte, then we skedaddled on back for the fun. Both drinks were delicious, and it was extra enjoyable to have a cozy little something to sip on while we crafted. They offer a variety of classes including drawing, felting, knitting, crochet, pottery, fused glass, and print making. The stained glass class we took was a little more involved, while the week before they were doing a drop in class for Christmas ornaments that would have been fun for kids. We ended up spending about two hours on our projects, but had a great time. There were two other students who were very friendly and our instructor was knowledgeable. The price for the class was very reasonable and we would definitely take another. They would also be so fun for a girl's day. At the café along with the mix of beverages, cookies and snacks, the soups of the day were clam chowder and tomato beef barley soup. They were out of the latter by the time we were finished so grab it while you can! One of our classmates mentioned the lemonade is particularly delicious. They even have local Ruby Jewel ice cream sandwiches. Overall, while we live a little too far for this to be a quick spot to grab a snack, easy lunch or dinner, I am jealous of the locals who have this option! Two of the owners (and they are sisters, ah so sweet!) were there and they were so friendly and nice. Again, this might be a little out of my way, but that won't stop me from returning. If you are headed between Salem and McMinnville or Sheridan, stop by Hopewell Hub on your way for some goodies.

Communication was clear and responsive, and they were open to all of our questions and suggestions. The appetizers were a huge hit--our guests are still talking about them! The family-style dinner was beautifully presented, delicious, and created such a warm, communal atmosphere at the reception. The staff were attentive, professional, and made sure everything flowed seamlessly. We couldn't have asked for a better catering partner on our big day. We would highly recommend Willaby's to any couple looking for amazing food and a team that truly cares about making your event special.
