Blue Heron Cheese & Wine Company, Tillamook

We really enjoyed this. It is not just a place to stop to eat but an entire experience. Great deli sandwiches and opportunities to shop a full cheese and meat market. Lots of gourmet foods, a candy and ice cream shop, fountain drinks, etc. There is a beautiful outdoor space where you can just sit surrounded by lush plants and wild lavender. We brought a bottle of wine and drank it with our sandwiches outside. Great spot!

There is so much thought and care put into creating this adorable place! The happy little animals stole my heart (miniature donkeys!) and feed is available for $1. Inside, is a french themed cafe and wine tasting area. The toasted, turkey and bacon pesto sandwich was so incredible that I devoured it without taking a pic. The wines (especially the whites) were excellent. There were plenty of little cheese samples and lots of other goodies to load up on. I'm so glad I didn't miss this stop!
