Think coffee shop mornings, downtown wandering, Friday night football and scenic drives through wine country. 

Cue the la la las and consider this your guide to a Stars Hollow-inspired fall in McMinnville, Oregon.

Start with coffee. Obviously. 

Grab a coffee at a local café and settle into a slow fall morning.

Find your Luke’s.

Every small town needs the spot where everyone knows your order.

Spend an unreasonable amount of time in a bookstore.

Pick up a new read, browse the shelves and pretend you’re definitely going to finish all three books you just bought.

Take a very unnecessary walk downtown.

Window shop, pop into local spots and admire McMinnville’s historic downtown while wearing a jacket you brought exclusively for the aesthetic.

Go to a small-town event.

Because what’s a Gilmore Girls fall without running into approximately six people you know?

Visit a college campus and go to a football game. 

Catch a Linfield football game, bundle up in the stands and embrace your small-town college-town era.

Go treasure hunting.

Spend an afternoon browsing McMinnville’s antique, vintage and secondhand shops. You never know what weird little thing is coming home with you.

Take the scenic route. 

Hop in the car and take a fall drive through wine country when the leaves start doing their thing.

Stay somewhere cozy.

Book a night at a McMinnville hotel, order something delicious and pretend you’re on a spontaneous little getaway…even if you live 15 minutes away.

End the day with a movie marathon.

Lights low. Blanket pile. Takeout. Gilmore Girls on the screen. No one is asking you to leave the couch.
