My friends and I had a wonderful day--beautiful wineries, a great lunch and an even better guide (Anthony). An added bonus was a super convenient pick-up and drop-off at our friends house. I highly recommend this tour.
Thank you so much 😊 Please come back and visit us soon and experiences our other great tours like the waterfalls and wine tour combo tour and Oregon coast tour. Cheers 🥂
My wife and I were celebrating our 35th Anniversary and this tour was one of many highlights of our trip to Willamette Valley (Newberg). Our driver Alex was amazing and it was just him and the two of us for the day. We hit 3 different wine tasting spots and had some great conversation with Alex along the way. Pickup was on time and the booking was easy with great reminders and communication.
Thank you very much 🙏😊
Paul put together our tour for us. We had a large group (16), so we split into two vans. Two days of various types and styles of wineries were included. From small to big, modest to fancy, we did them all! Really a nice mix of wineries on the itinerary. Alex was a great driver with a local knowledge and history of its creation. Overall, a great experience, would highly recommend!
I'm thrilled the group enjoyed it! We typically do not host large groups this size so I was a bit nervous to make sure everything goes perfect, but everything went smoothly and our partner vineyards were happy to host you. We would love to have you guys back in our warmer months. Great working with you and thank you again for your positive feedback.
Paul was a great guide, had a lot of local knowledge. Highlight of the tour was Coria, which had some amazing Pinots. Left from Salem so visited wineries in the area. Ankeny also had a wood burning oven that made some great pizza.
Thank you so much for your kind words 😊🍷
Dan was excellent. Low key, informative and fun. Good driver. Took us to three wonderful wineries. We shared the bus with one other like minded couple. We would recommend this tour!!
The tour was lovely and Dan was a great host! Pick up and drop off were seamless, and the wineries were beautiful. We would definitely do this tour again.
Thank you so much! Pleasure hosting you and hope to have you back in Oregon soon 😊
Travis (tour guide) and Dan (driver) were incredible! Super laid back and friendly but still knowledgeable. Took us to some amazing wineries and kept us on track but in a really relaxing way. Highly recommend as it wax an amazing day with these two!
Booked the tasting the day before, they reached out right away with estimated pickup. Travis was our guide and he was absolutely the best. Knowledgeable about everything related to Portland and Oregon. He was very patient and we never felt rushed at any point. Their choice of wineries was amazing as well.
Thank you so much for your feedback! 😊 🥂
Alex was great and knowledgeable about the area and AVAs. He picked us up on time and made sure we were comfortable at each location. The tour was easy to book and Paul connected with us right away to start building the Itinerary. We would recommend them to others!
We were disappointed in our Willamette Valley Wine Tour. This was the first time our friends had done a wine tasting tour in this region and our first time with this company. In our original booking, we were told lunch was included. The driver informed us that that was an error and to get in touch with "his boss" to make it right. I have yet to hear back. What should have been an eight-hour tour was barely six hours. We spent much of the time in the van as our guide kept getting lost. Sadly, our friends didn't have the same experience we've had when touring the Dundee/Dayton/McMinnville are for wine tasting tours. I don't think will book with this company again.
Oh Donna, I wish they had a platform to review you. Pretty much everything you have stated is inaccurate, and we very much regret that you went as far as blackmailing and threatening us with a bad review simply because you wanted a free ride. As far as your behavior that day, you refused to engage with our tour guide, who has received about 20 five star reviews this year. Yet you accused him of not taking enough pictures (which we don't have to especially if you are rude), occused him of getting lost and driving around (which is absurd we go to the same dozen or so vineyards, and my guide was there multiple times that week). You occused us of failing to buy you lunch (we don't advertise a lunch and have been selling the same tour for over 5 years). You occused us of not providing you a full day tour (you actually ended the tour early yourself because apparently the vineyard was not good enough for you). In addition to all this you went as far as sending us a blackmailing message to "make it right" (or refund you) which is both unethical, and also legally defamation since you are harming our reputation for baseless grounds. In summary, we would like to congratulate you for being blacklisted from any of our tours in the future, a title that only 1 other person has managed to achieve in 7 years operating and serving thousands of happy guests. For anyone reading this and thinking of behaving in a similar fashion (like being rude and disrespectful to our guides, accusing us of not paying for something we do not advertise as an inclusive item) simply put, DO NOT BOOK WITH US. We welcome new and seasoned wine travelers that are respectful of our policies, our guides and drivers and want to experience the best of Oregon with our industry experts who have worked with some of the best wine makers in the valley. Guides that know Oregon since childhood and can't wait to share all that Oregon has to offer with simple straightforward pricing with door to door pickup.
