Willamette Valley Wine Tour with Lunch

Enjoyed the discussions with the owners and winemakers. Nice variety of wines to taste and compare. Good value.

Fantastic day in a clean, comfortable van. Camille was very knowledgeable and took us to 3 beautiful wineries. The lunch she packed for the group was perfect!

An excellent wine tour. Camille was very knowledgeable & personable. The wineries we visited were selected well & diverse.

Knowledgeable people from our tour guide, Camille, to the individual wineries we visited. We enjoyed the experience with a small group of eight.

Our party of four spent the day with A Great Oregon Wine Tour, and it set a new standard. Wayne, the owner, built our itinerary around a specific request. I wanted at least one winery pouring Sauvignon Blanc in a valley dominated by Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. He found Balsall Creek, then rounded out the day with Ridgecrest and Compris. All three were off the beaten path. No crowded tasting rooms, no tour bus circuit. Just remarkable wines and winemakers with stories to tell. Our guide Robert is a master sommelier, and it showed all day. My wife and I have tasted extensively in the Russian River Valley and Bourgogne, and Robert drew sharp comparisons between all three regions. He walked us through the Willamette’s geologic history, from the Missoula Floods to the volcanic and marine sedimentary soils that define its AVAs, and connected it all to what was in our glasses. It was a full day of wine education disguised as a tasting tour. The picnic lunches, made by Wayne and his wife, were a highlight of their own. The turkey sandwich with apple and cucumber drew raves from the table. My vegan lettuce wrap was every bit as good. These were not afterthought box lunches. Our group of four had a roomy van to ourselves, which kept the whole day comfortable and unhurried. If you want a Willamette Valley experience beyond the usual stops, book with Wayne and ask for Robert.

We are pretty well-traveled pair and we loved the tour. Very casual, great tour operator, had plenty of relaxing time at the vineyards. Gorgeous scenery. Highly recommend!

Fantastic day with an excellent guide Kevin. He took us to 3 botique wineries where we had relaxing tastings with the actual owners. We were able to hear their individual stories of getting into the business, their journey into production and where they are now. All of the wines were unique and we left with several bottles of reasonably priced wines (the tasting fees can be waived under guidelines ie buying 4 bottles or something similar-not a problem!) Bonus points for the dogs too! We would definitely do this tour again.

Wayne Oppenheimer was an excellent guide. Took us to some very high quality wineries that most people do not know about. The lunch he provided was delicious. He was a delight to be around and taught us alot along the way. Highly recommend. Ask for Wayne.

We had a terrific day with Robert in a group of about 8 total people. The pick up was smooth and timely, Robert was an amazing guide (as he also an actual Sommelier with amazing credentials!), and the stops we made were lovely. The lunch provided was delicious and everything was easy and enjoyable. I do recommend encouraging movement if you want to hit a few more wineries - we went to (3) and I think we lingered a bit long at one or two and could maybe have hit a 4th.

We spent two wonderful days wine tasting with Camille, and it was truly the highlight of our trip. Camille is incredibly sweet, kind, and welcoming. Her knowledge of the region, its history, the wineries, and the wines is exceptional, and she made every stop interesting and enjoyable. We even had the pleasure of meeting her husband, Wayne, which made the experience feel even more personal. Camille also prepared the most amazing sandwiches for lunch—they were absolutely delicious and such a thoughtful touch. We can’t say enough wonderful things about Camille. Her warmth, professionalism, and passion for what she does made our experience unforgettable. If you’re looking for a personalized wine tour with someone who truly loves the region, we highly recommend Camille!
