Yamhill County’s wine country is part of a larger working farm landscape. Agriculture remains a primary local industry, and the crop list reaches well beyond grapes.
Nursery plants, fruit, nuts, berries, hay, silage, and field and grass seeds all share the county with wine grapes. A drive between towns makes more sense when the tasting rooms are read as one piece of that working landscape.
