Did you know that right outside Portland is wine country? If you’ve seen the falls and are itching for the perfect weekend trip with your girls (or your significant other), then drive out to Amity, OR, and pick from 30 wineries to indulge in. The best part? If you’re flying Alaska Airlines, you can check in your case of wine for FREE! No wine will be left behind!

With 119 bedrooms located in the heart of historic Old Town, The Hoxton in Portland offers comfort with mid-century touches. Check-in to check out from reality during your stay here.

Alongside our welcome tray was hand-written postcard from the front desk welcoming me. Sure, notes are standard for guests but this postcard also had little hand drawn graphics of all the places I visited on my last trip in Portland - places I blogged about in this post. I love when a hotel does their research and takes the time out to know who they are expecting, it shows that they really do care (and being a fan of my blog is a major plus!)
