COBURG Nestled in Willamette Valley farmland, Coburg preserves its small-town charm just outside of the metro area. Its downtown boasts a National Historic District with more than 20 elegant cottages, bungalows and mansions, all of which can be viewed on a self-guided walking tour. Coburg’s abundant antique shops offer a fantastic collection of furniture, home decor and one-of-a-kind finds. At the annual Coburg Antique & Vintage Fair, typically held in September, more than 300 dealers display their treasures. Stop in at Coburg Pizza Company, a beloved family-friendly spot known for its gourmet pies; Blue Valley Bistro for coffee specialties at a lively community hangout; or Coburg Candy Company for old-fashioned sweets. Nearby Armitage Park is the southernmost trailhead for the Willamette Valley Scenic Bikeway, a popular 134-mile (216-km) route through the farms, fields and small towns of the valley. RV campers can choose from several comfortable spots in and around town, including Eugene Kamping World RV Park and Premier RV Resorts of Eugene. JUNCTION CITY The farming community of Junction City honors its roots with the Camas Country Mill Store & Bakery. Located on a thirdgeneration wheat farm with a restored 19th-century schoolhouse, the mill grinds locally grown grains and sells freshly baked loaves, flours and whole grains. Shoppers love the Courtyard on Sixth in downtown Junction City. With over 30 local vendors in one location, you’ll find a wide variety of antiques, vintage furniture, crafts, soaps and gifts. Wine lovers sip their way through a string of vineyards and tasting rooms here — High Pass Winery, Brigadoon Wine Company, Walnut Ridge Vineyard, Benton-Lane Winery, RainSong Vineyard Winery, Bennett Vineyards & Wine Company and Five Fourteen Vineyards. Play a round of golf at Diamond Woods Golf Course, considered one of the state’s top golf getaways.
