Itinerary
Our central meeting location and pick up point! A beautiful, urban park in the middle of Downtown Portland.
Departing from downtown Portland, we’ll make our way along the Vineyard and Valley Scenic Route, past orchards and farms, to the famous Willamette Valley. As Oregon’s leading wine region, the valley is home to more than 500 wineries. Recognized as of one of the premier Pinot Noir producing areas of the world, the wine from this area is often likened to France’s Burgundy region. Throughout the drive, your guide will share the history of Oregon wine production, how our valley was formed, and what makes its soil so idyllic for our world-famous wine grapes. In the heart of the Willamette Valley, we will visit three carefully selected wineries, vineyards, and tasting rooms where we will partake in viticulture talks and wine tastings. Most wineries offer convenient shipping options straight to your home, and all of them have deals to purchase your favorite wines in lieu of paying tasting fees. Tasting fees are not included in the tour cost.
We will end our tour back at Director Park, our central drop off location in the heart of Downtown Portland.

Traveler reviews
Great day in Oregon’s wine country
Eric was a great tour guide and our small group was fantastic. We enjoyed 3 great wineries, each with their own unique charm and character. At two of the wineries we even met the actual owners and could talk to them about their wines and winery. We throughly enjoyed our time in Oregon’s beautiful wine county.
Very well organised tour....
Very well organised tour. Three well chosen wineries. Excellent knowledgeable guide, Patrick. Gorgeous countryside. Tastings are expensive (however waived if you buy). Picnic lunch (purchased en route) enjoyed in idyllic setting at middle winery, while tasting.
Willamette Valley Wine Tour - Highly Recommend
My husband and I went on this Willamette Valley Wine tour and Eric was FANTASTIC. Knowledgeable, prompt, informative and helpful on all fronts. Took us to 3 amazing yet different wineries and gave us the scenic tour of the area, all the way until we got to our hotel. Absolutely 5 stars! Kudos!
Great wine tour with excellent wines and scenery
Wine tour guide Patrick took me on a solo tour since other no show participants. We toured 3 wineries with very good wine selections and scenery of the wine country. Patrick provided Oregon and Portland history with wine information to enhance the tour. Started the day with purchasing lunch items stored in the tour van cooler. Lunch was enjoyed at the 2nd winery with the wine tasting. I highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in wine tastings, beautiful scenery and an enjoyable wine country experience.
Fantastic Wine Tour
Dominique was a great tour guide! So informative of the local community and the history of the wine regions. My partner and I had a great experience and would definitely recommend.
