Today’s Auto Tour: Tualatin Valley Quilt Barn Trail

I’m always looking for new experiences, especially ones that involve public art. Yesterday my sisters and I were chauffeured around by our Uncle as we followed Trail # 3 of the Tualatin Valley Quilt Barn Trail just west of Portland, Oregon. We had a blast!

Highlighting historic barns and buildings with hand painted quilt patterns on wood blocks is not a new thing. It is however a very cool and fun way to tie art to a community’s agricultural history. There are three “trails” you can follow in the Tualatin Valley which is also part of Oregon’s Wine Country. I have included a map below. We took advantage of the opportunity and enjoyed a break with wine tasting at one of the wineries found along the trail, Benza. My favorites are their 2019 Chardonnay and 2018 Three Tuxedos Estate Pinot Noir.

Enjoy my pics! #iluvtowalk #autotourscanbefun #Tualatinvalley
