The Most Oregon Part of Oregon (MOPO) The Salem region is often called “The Most Oregon Part of Oregon” because it brings together so many of the experiences that define the state. Here, you’ll find world-class wineries, farm-fresh flavors, scenic rivers, forested trails, and welcoming small towns full of character. The region also holds a special distinction as the home of Oregon’s state capital and the seat of its government — where history, culture, and community create a vibrant pulse that reflects the spirit of the region. Located in the heart of the Willamette Valley — one of the most agriculturally productive regions in the world — the Salem area serves up Oregon’s bounty from its source. Taste sun-ripened berries, locally grown hazelnuts, handcrafted cheeses, freshbaked pastries, and locally crafted beer, wine and cider. Explore the acclaimed wine regions of the Van Duzer Corridor, Eola-Amity Hills, Mt. Pisgah and Cascade Foothills, where welcoming tasting rooms pair beautifully with seasonal cuisine. Adventure is always close by in the Most Oregon Part of Oregon. Paddle the Willamette or Santiam rivers. Cast a line in pristine lakes and reservoirs. Wander lush forests. Bike scenic backroads. Walk behind waterfalls at Silver Falls State Park. Experience traditions that define Oregon from St. Paul’s legendary Fourth of July rodeo to Grand Ronde’s annual powwow to the Oregon State Fair. Here, you don’t have to choose between culture and countryside, vineyards and waterfalls, or history and adventure. You can tour a historic home in the morning, stroll through an art gallery early afternoon, and sip pinot noir overlooking vineyardcovered hills before diving into a sumptuous dinner at a chef-driven downtown restaurant. All without long drives or crowded spaces. Everything is connected, authentic, and within reach. The Salem region captures the essence of Oregon in one accessible place. We are the Most Oregon Part of Oregon. #MOPO
