Grape Stomp
St. Josef’s Winery boasts one of Oregon's oldest vineyards with a tasting room and picnic area. Bask in the sun by the lake at this European style winery. I have this marked on my calendar for their famous harvest grape stomp...can't wait!

Must Brake for Chocolate
Stop for a bite of lunch at Canby’s Puddin’ River Chocolates (named after the nearby Pudding River.) Located in an old-fashioned storefront building, this shop is coziness itself. Scrumptious entrees are prepared onsite and occasional cooking classes are offered to clientele. “Must brake for chocolate and a bit of the grape” could be your RoadTrip motto. A single Pinot noir truffle will be sufficient sustenance to carry you on to your next stop.

Back road float
Back roads will lead you to the historic Canby Ferry, not easy to find, but well-worth the time you invest in taking a departure from the main thoroughfares. The ferry offers you scenic ride across the Willamette River, and has carried travelers across the river since pioneers first settled in Oregon.

Roadside Farm Ambiance
Stop at a road side farm for unique small farm ambiance. Open May through December with flowering hanging baskets, nursery plants, and a farm gift shop. Marvel at the unique hand-made creations of willow chandeliers and willow décor.

Have a Field Day with Tulips
This is the time to enjoy Oregon's incredible tulip fields. The weekend schedules will be packed with lots for the family including ducky races, the hay stack, horse swings, bumpy slide, cow train and more. Tram rides will be free and full of information this year. There is a great selection of food onsite this year. For the ride home, don't miss the roasted Bavarian nuts.

Chocolate and Wine, too
Life is good. Puddin' River Chocolates now has a cozy wine bar and cooking classes in addition to their hand-dipped and delightful chocolates. The tasting room is cozy and easy to find. Owner Teresa Sasse is welcoming and turns out laudable chocolates. This is a not-to-be-missed stop if you're RoadTripping Canby way.

Cruisin' on the Canby Ferry
This little ferry is one of only three historic ferries still crossing the Willamette River. The Canby Ferry runs virtually year-round, making it the most reliable bet for those spur-of-the moment, off the beaten track road trips. Each ferry lies somewhat off our modern main roadways, making it all the more delightful of an experience. P.S. The "cruise" takes about 7 minutes from shore to shore.
