VINOSO.Shop today would like to introduce you to the Willamette Valley

The Willamette Valley is a 150-mile (240 km) long valley in Oregon,In the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. The Willamette River flows the entire length of the valley and is surrounded by mountains on three sides: the Cascade Range to the east, the Oregon Coast Range to the west, and the Calapooya Mountains to the south. The valley is synonymous with oregon's cultural and political heart and is home to about 70% of its population. The valley's many waterways, particularly the Willamette River, are vital to Oregon's economy, as they continuously deposit highly fertile alluvial soils in its wide flat plain. A massively productive agricultural area, the valley was widely advertised in the 1820s as a "promised land of flowing milk and honey." Throughout the 19th century it was the favorite destination of the ox carts of emigrants who embarked on the perilous journey along the Oregon Trail. Today the valley is considered synonymous with Oregon Wine Country,as it contains over 19,000 acres (7,700 hectares) of vineyards and over 500 wineries. In fact, in recent decades, the valley has also become an important wine producer, with several wine-growing areas. With a cooler California climate, the rolling hills surrounding the Willamette River are home to some of the best (and most expensive) Pinot Neri in the world. Although this distinction is not officially recognized, many wine connoisseurs further divide the Willamette Valley into northern and southern regions, the demarcation line is the approximate latitude of Salem (44.6° north latitude exactly like La Morra in Piemonte and Bordeaux in France). Not all areas of the Willamette Valley are suitable for vineyards, and the largest concentration of wineries is located west of the Willamette River, on the leeward slopes of the Coast Range, or among the many river valleys created by the tributaries of the Willamette River. By far, the largest concentration of wineries is in Yamhill County. As proof of the great growth of this wine-growingwine-growing area Wine Enthusiast s crowned Willamette Valley region of the Year in 2016.
