If you are new to Central Oregon- you are in for a treat, this author happens to think that there is no time better to fall in love with Bend that in Autumn.
Here are THREE great reasons Fall is AWESOME in Bend!
1. Best of all weather worlds, it is totally common to have a sunny 80 degree day with sunshine that invites you to sneak out of work early and hit the river or a local lake for a paddle board. And then finish the night next to a firepit snuggled up in a blanket with a great glass of wine from the Willamette Valley. We are so lucky to be right in the heart of the Old Mill District, where we can enjoy the river, shopping and great wine all minutes from the store!
2. Events are still bringing the heat of the summer, but fewer crowds means easier chance of grabbing a table for a bite before you hit up Micahel Franti at Clear Summer Nights, or John Legend at Les Schwab Ampitheater. And it is a great chance to take advantage of all that the area has to do culturally. Local theater like Cascades Theatrical or the Tower Theater have a whole schedule of fantastic shows, and performances if something inside is more your style. *Pro Tip- Finish your fall wardrobe with a gentlemans pocket knife or money clip from William Henry.
3. Hip Hip Horray for HOPS! If you know anything about Bend you know that we are known for and take our beer pretty seriously. October in the land of hops is a great time to sample a brew, Central Oregon's close proximity to hop farms and many local brewers commitment to fresh ingredients mean that the bounty of just harvested hopped beers are ripe for you to enjoy here. Below is a photo of a flight at Monkless Brewing just walkable distance from the store! Come get your rings cleaned and take a stroll up the river trail to the pub!
