In summer 2022, Tributary Hotel and ōkta debut in McMinnville, a centerpiece within Oregon’s Willamette Valley and the largest city in Yamhill County. The boutique luxury accommodations and destination restaurant pay homage to the region, offering a multi-dimensioned experience inspired by the Valley’s seasonal rhythms and terroir, as well as the producers and purveyors who contribute to its distinct cultural landscape.

Located in a 100-year-old building in the heart of McMinnville’s downtown, Tributary Hotel is envisioned as a sanctuary of slow for travelers, a setting where guests can relax amidst the comforts of the area. Eight suites are thoughtfully designed and appointed to recall the guest quarters of a home with personal touches that reveal Tributary Hotel’s vision of hospitality.

Ōkta restaurant is the culinary heartbeat at the center, conceptualized to further pay tribute to the local terrain. Helmed by chef/partner Matthew Lightner, formerly of two-star Michelin Atera in New York City, ōkta offers a highly progressive tasting menu that draws inspiration from the Valley’s micro-seasons and harvest from the restaurant’s nearby farm.

Together, Tributary Hotel and ōkta seek to inspire a sense of adventure and exploration among guests. A collaboration between Lightner and partners Katie Jackson & Shaun Kajiwara, best known for their leadership roles within Jackson Family Wines’ sustainability and viticultural arms, the property showcases their shared passion for the beauty and bounty of the Willamette Valley.
