Located in the heart of the Willamette Valley, Silverton is less than an hour from Portland and just 30 minutes from Salem, making it a convenient weekend destination for those hailing from the city. As you might expect in a Willamette Valley town, vineyards are plentiful. Paradis Vineyards, founded in 2017 by two fourth-generation farmers, has a new tasting room with beautiful views of the valley, perfect for sipping a glass of wine. Want to spend the weekend outdoors? Silver Falls State Park is just a short drive from town as well, home to a massive, 177-foot cascade that travelers can reach via a nationally recognized hiking trail. To tie it all together, reserve your stay at the Oregon Garden Resort, directly connected to the iconic 80-acre botanical garden filled with diverse plant life.
