Lafayette, Oregon: Our Lady of Guadalupe Trappist Abbey; things to do

9200 NE Abbey Rd., in Lafayette, 800-294-0105, 503-852-0107. Book shop: Daily 9-5. Lodging: $35-$75/night donation; includes 3 meals/day; age 16+.

From this bucolic estate in rural Oregon wine country, monks dedicated to a vow of silence make an old-fashioned date-nut cake and a fruitcake that is soaked in brandy for 3 months. Visitors to Our Lady of Guadalupe Trappist Abbey can browse the book shop, hike miles of trails, or spend the night in a lake-side guest house.
