No visit to Tillamook is complete without savoring the flavors that made this coastal community famous. At the beloved Blue Heron French Cheese Company, visitors can browse a charming marketplace filled with gourmet foods, wines, gifts and specialty items from around the world. Samples of their signature brie and other creamy creations tempt the palate, while the deli serves up hearty sandwiches and soups perfect for a casual lunch. Outside, friendly farm animals delight kids and adults alike, adding to the relaxed, country atmosphere.
Just down the road, the iconic Tillamook Creamery offers a larger-than-life look at Oregon’s dairy heritage. Watch cheese being made from the viewing gallery, learn about the farmer-owned cooperative’s history through engaging exhibits, and indulge in famously rich ice cream from the scoop shop. The creamery’s café highlights local ingredients in comfort-food favorites, and the gift shop is stocked with cheese, merchandise and sweet treats to take home.
Together, these two stops deliver a delicious introduction to Tillamook’s dairy legacy.
