The Most Magical Travel Day Part One:  Baker City, OR

Baker City, Oregon

We stopped in Baker City for gas and then left a couple of hours later with a bottle of craft gin and a bottle of wine from the local vineyard. This was in addition to the tasty individualized lunch prepared for us by the local cheesemonger. The only question she asked was olives or almonds. From just that and, I don’t know, maybe our auras, she created a small personalized charcuterie board. Oh, and I can’t forget the chocolatier who also owns an incredible art gallery. It was, walk into the city just a bit to take a picture (the one above) and then have a casual conversation with a local which led us to one business which then led to more conversations and so on. The last business we passed was the reality office. Luckily (or maybe unluckily) they were closed for the day.

Copper Belt Winery. Exquisite wines. Housed in the same building is the excellent Cheese Fairy.
Glacier 45. So named for the parallel it rests on and the water source they use. A husband wife team. Pictured is Kaylin Chavez.
The business which started our most excellent adventure. Royal Artisan. A friendly conversation with this lovely woman convinced us that Baker City is well worth an extended visit.
Peterson’s Chocolates. She also serves coffee (pressed) and curates an amazing art collection she prefers not to be photographed.
