A tour of food, wine and culture!
Want to savor your trip to the Willamette Valley and avoid the tourist traps? Just pack your iPhone or iPod Touch and let AOC Travel Guides show you how to save time, money, energy and inconvenience as you explore the heart of Oregon Wine Country.
"WILLAMETTE - MY PERFECT DAYS" maps out four days of adventure through McMinnville, Carlton, Yamhill, Dundee, Newberg, Dayton, Amity-Eola, Mt. Angel and Silverton.
- We'll travel through vineyards, farmlands, forest, state parks and museums.
- We'll stop at wineries, restaurants, microbreweries and charming hotels.
- We'll even introduce you to the largest Oktoberfest in the United States.
- We want to share with you the bounty of Oregon's food and wine culture by showing you the best places for mushroom cuisine, Oregon fruit, cheese, Pinot Noir, Marechel Foch and where to find the only estate Syrah we know of being produced in the Willamette Valley.
Don't expect our travel guides to be an endless list of every business in the Willamette Valley, we'll leave that to Yelp and the Yellow Pages. Instead, we offer you a well-researched list of places we can honestly and heartily recommend that you visit.
WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT:
* Under-the-radar wineries
* Local and sustainable restaurants
* Perfect spots for a romantic picnic
* "Cool Things to Do"
* A list of tourist traps and overrated spots
* A special section detailing what's kid-compatible, and what's not
* Lots of uncensored opinions, and a few laughs
We'll give you our candid and distinctively personal opinion - never mean, sometimes irreverent and funny, but always unapologetic.
We've been there, done that ... and for less than a glass of wine, you can make sure that you experience the best of the best.
SPECIAL FEATURES
* Completely self-contained: Once downloaded to your iPhone or iPod Touch, there's no need to worry about costly roaming charges and our offline maps and other information ensures that your app will work whether you're in a plane or on a rural wine tour in the middle of a cell phone "Dead Zone."
* Easy-access maps: Each tour stop is linked to a map that can be easily enlarged within the application.
* Easy to explore: Our navigation wheel lets you move smoothly and quickly between Day Tours, Restaurants/Bars, Wineries, Hotels, Cool Stuff to Do and Attractions.

When moving from the Bay Area to Portland, I was excited to discover the wine country in Oregon. I can attest to the great "local" information provided. Reading about places that I have been to and agreeing with the comments, makes me confident that the wineries I plan to visit will be wonderful.

This is a straight forward approach to wine country travel. My wife and I are weekend warriors so knowing where to go and where to avoid is extreemely important to us. We are setting up our trip right now and we had no idea of how much this area has to offer. This app is a good use of my time and $$
Credible knowledge in a sensical app!

The authors of this app have done an excellent job in pairing both useful and credible knowledge of the Willamette Valley wine country, with an intuitive and sensicle user experience. The result is the perfect mobile wine lovers' app for discerning travelers. The right balance of information, function, and editorial insight have been achieved with this app. I will use this app as my travel guide for future Willamette Valley tours. The only feedback I have for the authors is for them to create additional wine destinations across the US and world. Great product!

We like traveling in this area, but we don't know it very well, so we need guides that are insightful, honest, AND practical. AOC delivers on all counts. Plus it's fun to read with a clean, aesthetic design, and obviously, it's very convenient when you're on the road.
Worth every penny!

What I love about this app is that it not only tells you all the things to see and do...it also tells you what NOT to do. Bravo! There are oodles of photos that made it easy to choose what was of interest to me. I was impressed, which doesn't happen very often. I didn't need any other research than this app. It covered everything. I'm eager for their next location to become available. This is a winner. Buy it!
Knowledgeable and fun App

This app is a fun-to-use, easy, in-depth guide to the Willamette Valley wineries. And, it has everything else you want to know for your trip. Cool "compass", and beautiful photos. A sophisticated, mini travel guide on your iPhone!
Perfect!

With our upcoming trip to the Willamette, this app seemed perfect for us and so it is! After 15 minutes with this app we'd change some of our plans and probably saved ourselves $100s and plenty of time!
