Breweries: Heater Allen is a must. Also The Bitter Monk is my favorite tap room outside of Portland. Both in Mcminnville.
Wolves and People is a cool farmhouse brewery in Newburg.
Restaurants: Honey Pie pizza in Mcminnville is top notch for a pie. The Inn at Spanish Head in Lincoln City has a really good restaurant if you make it to the coast.
Wineries: Archery Summit is amazing. Van Duzer, Brooks, and Stoller are worth a visit as well.
Im sure I'm forgetting a ton so others can chime in as well.
Restaurants: Nick’s Italian Cafe and Thistle. Bistro Maison is also excellent. If you don’t eat dinner at Thistle, go for a cocktail and get the bread and fat appetizer. For breakfast, hit Crescent Cafe.
Wineries: Shea is at the top of my list. Archery Summit and Stoller as Leftoverburrito said. I suggest hitting Stoller around lunch and eating there. Elk Cove makes great wines and has a beautiful spot. We make Elk Cove our first stop when driving from PDX. Hit Argyle if you are into sparkling wine. If you go south, Bethel Heights and Cristom are both good.
I’ve been to quite a few others so if you know the general area you will be in a day, I likely have other suggestions.

Durant. Less for the wine(they're fine) but more for the ground, view and mostly, Olive Oil.
Just up the road is White Rose Estate.
Alit is a great spot to chill with wine and Breakside beer. If they have their bubbles, all of them are great.
I'll second/third Archery Summit and and Stoller.
There is so much more I'm forgetting. I'll send you a message as well.

Vinnie Cilruzo’s sister runs a nice little tasting room/wine shop in Pacific City.
As for breweries, Wolves and People is in the Willamette Valley. Heater Allen/Gold Dot is right there as well. If you’re going to the coast it’s De Garde in Tillamook and Fort George in Astoria. The Pelican location in Pacific City is stunning.
