Grab some fresh air and get into the holiday spirit with a trip to Yesteryear Farms.

Make an outing out of an afternoon at Yesteryear Farms with pre-cut Christmas trees, letters to Santa Claus and good tidings for all who visit.

Don’t forget to grab a snapshot with the vintage red Chevy!

Warm up with fresh hazelnuts and meatloaf at Filberts Farmhouse Kitchen

A trip to Oregon isn’t complete without fresh hazelnuts, also known as filberts (and they make great gifts!). Drive along Wilsonville Road to see several hundred acres of hazelnut trees on your way to Filberts Farmhouse Kitchen for filbert meatloaf.

End the trip with a whiskey flight night cap at Siren Song Whiskey Bar.

Get toasty from the inside out with a sampling of liquors from Siren Song Whiskey Bar in Canby. Scratch-made desserts made with local, seasonal fruit are perfect for sharing. After a full day in Wilsonville, let the barrel-aged goodness of three different pours whisk you away into a content, cozy evening–pairs well with a crackling fire (and planning your next trip back).
