Four Days in Central Oregon

Central Oregon is all about choices: should you ski, golf, hike, bike, whitewater raft or cast a fly? Whatever you do to recreate, there are even more options for how to satiate that inner gourmand. Visit a local winery, meet a maker of fine goats cheese, or see how creative chefs can be when they come off the slopes and head for the kitchen.
