Perched on a gently sloping hillside with commanding views of the Willamette Valley’s working farms and vineyards, The Setting Inn is the ultimate Oregon Wine Country retreat. The Setting Inn is perfectly situated just minutes from the top wineries and vineyards of Newberg, Dayton, Carlton, and Dundee, Oregon; the heart of the Willamette Valley wine scene. Whether you are wine tasting, visiting for a wine country wedding, enjoying a luxury spa treatment in Newberg, or exploring the local restaurants in downtown McMinnville, the central location makes the hotel one of the best places to stay in the Willamette Valley.  

The Setting Inn Willamette Valley (Newberg, Oregon)
Enjoy a 3-night weekday (Sunday - Thursday) stay for 2 in a standard king guest room at The Setting Inn.  From the moment you arrive, you are invited to make yourself at home. The boutique hotel experience provides all the charm and convenience of the best inns with the amenities of a luxury resort. Recently renovated, The Setting Inn Willamette Valley is a landmark that ushers in a new standard of modern luxury for Oregon Wine Country accommodations.

For meal options, start your day off with the Europe-meets-Oregon-inspired rustic continental breakfast delivered to your door daily, included with your reservation.  Experience the craftsmanship of local Oregonian and Northwest cured meats, cheese, pastries, and even a sparkling mimosa each day all from the comfort of your guest retreat.  Additionally, many fine-dining restaurants in the Newberg area offer pick-up and delivery which may be enjoyed in-room, on your private terrace, or in The Event Barn, the signature social gathering space for hotel guests.

Serene and natural northwest landscaping around the ten-acre property includes calming lavender, Cyprus trees, fruit trees, and a boutique vineyard for you to take that perfect selfie. Outdoor fire pits, inviting courtyard, heated terrace, bocce ball court, stunningly modernized event barn, and a variety of retro yard games create a charming ambiance to disconnect from your routine and discover the beauty of your setting. Whether you are looking for things to do in Wine Country or prefer secluded relaxation, you are invited to customize your getaway.

Chauffeured Wine Tasting Tour and Lunch
Your chauffeured tour will introduce you to some of the delectable wines of the Willamette Valley.  Visit Domaine Serene (Dundee Hills AVA) for an exclusive private tasting. Delve deeply into the Domaine Serene story and portfolio with a personal Sommelier to guide you through a full flight of limited-production wines in one of the winery’s intimate private spaces. Then enjoy the outstanding view on the Penner-Ash Wine Cellars patio (Ribbon Ridge AVA) while experiencing a flight of wine presented by a dedicated host.  During your tour you'll enjoy lunch at Trellis Wine Bar and Kitchen where Chef Joe Jackson showcases the amazing and bountiful food options available in the Willamette Valley.  The menu is kept fresh and rotates with the seasonality of what is available.
