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 homes viewable on a self-guided walking tour. Coburg’s abundant antique shops offer a fantastic collection of oneof-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, or Chiefs Brew House, a Native-owned brewery in a historic building, specializing in experimental small-batch beer. For coffee, Blue Valley Bistro’s lively community hangout can’t be beat. 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 Scandinavian roots each year at the Scandinavian Festival. The Camas Country Mill Store & Bakery — located on a thirdgeneration wheat farm — 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.
