Dutartre learned the art of winemaking in her home of the Burgundy region of France and each vintage reflects her uncompromising commitment to quality and tradition.

Fun with strangers
Bonding with fellow travelers is key to "a good time had by all." The tour was great, the selectd wineries were entertaining and worth every sip, and the travel through the Willamette Valley was breath-taking. Our tour guide, Phoebe was knowledgeable, considerate & friendly. The camaraderie developed between my fellow participants was very special. It was a great day.

We enjoyed our day...
We enjoyed our day overall— our guide was friendly and knowledgeable and the transportation was comfortable. The winery selection was a mixed bag: one standout with fair prices and great service, one that felt overhyped and expensive, and one that was decent but hard to justify at the price point.

Rob was a really good...
Rob was a really good tour guide! We had a really good time at all three vineyards. We also enjoyed the scenic Countryside and hearing about the history of the Willamette Valley and how the Vineyards started here.

We had an excellent time!
Our guide/driver, Phoebe, was amazing! She was friendly and offered great info about the area. Her driving was great and safe! My only suggestion would be that communication leading up to our event could have been better. Had we not called, we would not have known the pickup time had been adjusted.
