Plan the Perfect Girlfriend Getaway in Oregon’s Tualatin Valley

Whether celebrating a wedding, baby shower (or sprinkle), a milestone birthday, or just a trip with your bestie, Oregon’s Tualatin Valley has all of the elements for an ideal girls weekend getaway.

Shop Tax-Free

With one of the few states in the U.S. with no sales tax on anything, shop to your heart’s desire. Stock up on beauty products, buy that bag you’ve been coveting online, splurge on a new pair of shoes or earrings. Your choices are only limited by the limits on your credit card.

Washington Square  and Bridgeport Village are two of Oregon’s premier shopping centers, each with a mix of nationally and internationally renowned retailers.

Splurge at a Spa

Treat yourself and your friends to a relaxing afternoon at Ruby’s Spa at McMenamin’s Grand Lodge. Recharge with a massage and a rejuvenating dip in the soaking pool.

Pinot, Please

No girls’ trip to Tualatin Valley is complete without a visit to wineries. While each winery is a destination unto itself, there are some that provide the perfect setting and atmosphere for a true girls’ getaway.

The views from the patio at Ponzi Vineyards are sublime; the ideal backdrop for Ponzi’s delicate wines. Relax around the fire, while tasting a flight of Ponzi wines and enjoying a charcuterie plate.

Hawks View Winery also has amazing views and wines, which elegantly pair well with the intimate tasting room. Relax and enjoy an afternoon with your favorite gals.

Another spot noted for its spectacular views is Árdíri Winery & Vineyards. Gather around the cozy indoor fireplace or outdoor fire pit and enjoy a flight crafted from Árdíri’s vineyards in Napa and the Willamette Valley.

Drink & Dine

Enjoy a glass of wine (or beer or cocktail) and a delicious dinner at Wine & Growl. From the simple to the sublime, Wine & Growl’s menu features gourmet comfort foods.

In Old Town Sherwood, 503 Uncorked features a modest menu with salads, flatbreads, platters to share and desserts, along with a selection of top-notch wines from the Pacific Northwest.

DIY Bonding

Commemorate your girlfriends getaway to Tualatin Valley with a fun DIY experience.

Create a unique piece of art at Live Laugh Love Art, where instructors guide visitors along the journey to make a blown-glass piece or fun welding art project. Classes are available by reservation only; however, drop-in painting and fusing classes also are available.

Bond over wine at Wine and Design, where you can sit down and create your own masterpiece while sipping on a glass (or two).

With these tips, plan the perfect girlfriends getaway in Tualatin Valley.
