2. Cannon Beach Getaway Weekend for Two
They say everything tastes better at the Oregon Coast. Here's your chance to find out for yourself. You'll be staying for two nights at the exclusive Cannon Beach Waves Motel, but you won't be watching much TV. You’ll build an appetite with four rounds of golf at the oldest links course in the northwest, Gearhart Golf Links, then feast at the Sandtrap. After working up a real appetite with seaside golfing, you'll retreat to Newman's at 988, one of the finest dining experiences in the state. After putting Chef John Newman's skills to the test, you’re off to the EVOO Cooking School to sit at the chef’s table for an unforgettable preparation of epicurean delights. If you decide to quit your day job back in town and stay forever in Cannon Beach, who could blame you?
3. Bonus Wine Tasting in Walla Walla
Yes, it's true—we're offering two tours of the Walla Walla wine country. Depending upon your mood and your desire to embrace this burgeoning region, you might want to get a pal to buy one while you grab the other. Or, you could just take them both home yourself. This one puts you up for two glorious days and nights at a two-bedroom country cottage, just minutes from the tasting rooms. Taste your way through several wineries on this tour which includes your own personal driver. Then enjoy an evening of epicurean pleasure with a six course dinner at the incomparable 26brix. Consider well before making your choice. Ask yourself: How comprehensive do I want my Walla Walla education to be?
You’ll be the envy of all your friends and colleagues with this collection featuring a generous assortment of some of the very best of the Pacific Northwest's wine country. From Pinot Gris to Pinot Noir, Albarino to Chardonnay, you'll enjoy these top bottles from leading wineries in the Willamette Valley and more - all with the purchase of this extraordinary collection of fine wines. Sit back and sip, secure in the knowledge that it's all for a great cause!

This blockbuster beachside package is designed for a cozy couple or fun-loving wild bunch. You'll be staying for a week at an exclusive, architect-designed 3 bedroom, 2 1/2 bath home in the heart of Lincoln City on the Oregon coast. Bird-watchers beware: This home is sited on the D River estuary where the birds are bountiful. But you'll want to put down the binocs at some point to take advantage of the rest of this package. There are surfing lessons, meals at Mo's and the Kernville Steak & Seafood House, tickets to the Oregon Coast Aquarium and of course lots and lots of fun things to see and do in and around Lincoln City. Enjoy - you've got a week. Don't try to do it all in one day! After arriving home it’s time to dress up for a fine art photographic family portrait you’ll treasure for years.

This tour, designed by Morrison board member Chuck Zwick, allows you to view our beautiful Willamette Valley vineyards from above and within. The fun starts with a hot air balloon ride for four, which will have you hanging peacefully over some of the very finest Pinot Noir vineyards in the world. When you finally come back down to earth, you'll enjoy a brunch for four, and then it's off to the wineries: Chehalem, Archery Summit and Raptor Ridge. Chuck will be your guide and private driver, so all you have to do is sample the wines, nibble from a basket of gourmet delectables and kick back for the rest of the day! Outbid, you say? Wait! Chuck is good for a duplicate package. No long faces allowed!

If you thought you knew what was around the Bend before, wait till you've experienced one of these tours!
