McMinnville, situated in the heart of the Yamhill Valley, represents the best of Oregon. If you’re visiting us, welcome! No doubt you’ll fall for our spirited wines, exceptional dining, and lush setting. There’s plenty of recreation and after all that play, relax with a restful night’s sleep. Our agricultural roots still grow strong today. You can find the freshest, quality produce and locally-grown products at the Farmer’s Market, local stores, and restaurants. Verdant vineyards, golden wheat fields, and other crops envelop our charming town and surrounding areas. If you want to make your stay here permanent, you’re not alone. The population more than doubled in the last two decades, currently at 34,930 – and still flourishes. McMinnville maintains its small-town friendliness and appeal with all the convenience and amenities of the city. Located 50 miles from Pacific Ocean beaches, 35 miles from the metropolis of Portland, and 25 miles from the state capitol, Salem, McMinnville is convenient to wherever you need to go. And the Cascade Mountains are a scenic 2-3 hour drive – making a weekend getaway attainable. McMinnville Area Chamber of Commerce welcomed many new members in the past year. The strength of our membership (average 400-500 members) is due to the cohesive, supportive group of business leaders who enrich the economic health of the area. The Chamber of Commerce works closely with all different programs and associations. Make sure you also check out the MDA for a more focused view of our fantastic Historic Downtown.
