City of Wilsonville - www.ci.wilsonville.or.us
Wilsonville is a fantastic place to visit! This clean, fresh and energetic little city is perfectly located for the best Oregon experience. Nestled on the banks of the Willamette River, Wilsonville is right on I-5, close to Portland and borders the Willamette Valley. With many lush equestrian farms and events, it is also regarded as the heart of Oregon Horse Country.
With some of the most reasonable hospitality rates in the north valley, Wilsonville acts as home base to many travelers who then plan their adventures on various day trips. For example, Oregon’s wine industry has become a major attraction for visitors, and a stay in Wilsonville is ideal. A stay here puts you only minutes from the vineyards and tasting rooms of the Willamette Valley and Yamhill Valley Wine Trails!
