Whimsical winery and tasting room. Some of the wines are serious, and others are not. 2 cats and 2 baby lambs to greet you at your table on the lawn of the farm. They have Friday night live music and wine slushies! In July and August, there is $2.50/lb U-pick blueberries on the property. They make a really good brie and broccoli pizza. And if you ask, they can sometimes make it gluten free.

Best fish market in Eugene, which also happens to have the best cheese selection. But, the best part is the little fish and chips grotto they do on the back side of the building. You can find fried scallops, halibut cheeks, and local salmon.

Guy Fieri may have put this place on the national map, but it really is good. Never really that busy and many locals still dine here. A vast selection of fish and chips options, plus other fish centric entrees. They make and sell many fun products, like sauces, canned local fish, and jerky, to stuff in your luggage and take home.
