Specials / Special Events ** New ** Wine Education To Go ** New **
Oregon Wine Tours is adding a new service to our business. We are combining a wine tour with structured class room wine education into "Wine Education To Go". I have brought in E. Harry Ryan who is a certified Sommelier through the Court of Master Sommeliers and also certified by the Society of Wine Educators to provide wine education at the wineries. We will take you to three wineries and cover such topics as What you See, Swirl and Smell should be what you Taste. Oregon's AVA's, how to read a wine label, how wine is made and grapes grown and we finish off each class with an extensive food and wine pairings. It's fun and educational. If you would like more information, check out the new web site for Wine Education To Go; www.wineeducationtogo.com
Three Tour Packages to Choose From ***
Basic Tour Package *$50 person / 4 person minimum. Oregon Wine Tours is now offering a Basic Tour Package. This tour is our answer to the ever shrinking dollar. When we started Oregon Wine Tours, we did it in the attempt to make a quality wine tour available to everyone. So now we are offering a more basic tour with no frills but still a quality wine tour. This tour provides transportation to three local wineries. * Tasting fees are additional. Limited pick up area (additional fees may apply). No lunch stop. 15% driver gratuity added to all groups. 5% added to all credit card transactions.
Premium Tour Package Premium Tour Rates: 1-2 people $160.00 each, 3-4 persons $125.00 each, 5-6 person $95.00 each, 7-10 persons $75.00 each. This is our most popular tour which means it books out the fastest. Reserve ahead to guarantee your date. Your tour includes: door to door service*, written itinerary, bottled water, light appetizers and gourmet chocolate truffles. A personal and custom selection of wineries based on what you want -or- choose your own wineries and we will make the necessary arrangements. We visit four to five wineries during your day. Transportation is provided in a Chevrolet Express 12 passenger van. Other vehicles may be used during busy season or on larger groups. We specialize in the smaller, boutique wineries other companies can't get you into. We offer wine education and eliminate the intimidation of the tasting room. Join us for the day and remember us for a lifetime! * (Pick up area is the general Portland Metro South of the Columbia River and west of I-205. Washington County and wine country are included in the pick up area. Outside of the pick up area, there will be a fuel charge added of $20+ depending on location of pick up)
VIP Tour Package Private VIP Tours: $750.00+ The van and driver are yours for a private and exclusive look into the best of Oregon's wines. You can have 1 to 8 people total on the tour. You will get into some of the harder to visit wineries. Most of them are not open to the public. You will get VIP treatment all day long. You won't have to fight lines or crowds at the tasting rooms and you will see what's going on in the vineyard and wineries. You are going to taste and experience world class Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Gris to name only a few. You will meet some wine makers and owners and have private tastings with them to discuss the wines. Your day will include artisan cheeses paired with your wines along with gourmet chocolate truffles. This tour is for those seeking the best Oregon Pinot Noir. Those that are stocking their cellars with the best wines. We have a sommelier on staff to guide you through the day of wines and food pairings and to answer all of your questions. Anything we can possibly do to make this day better for you and your group will be done - just ask! Many options are available for this tour including wine makers lunch or dinner, private wine education with wine and food pairings class, barrel tasting, and more.

Contact Oregon Wine Tours for more information.
Wine Makers Dinners We can create an event to remember for you and your guests. The day includes an all day wine tour (wineries chosen specifically for you), gourmet cheeses, crackers and fresh fruit to enjoy during the day and then finish the day with a private wine makers dinner at one of the wineries. You will meet the wine maker/owner, sit down with them and enjoy a gourmet dinner. There are no specific dates for these dinners. I create them for you and your group at your request. Prices start at $225/person for the all day tour and dinner. Gratuities not included For custom tours / private dinners, there is a 6 person minimum and one week advance notice required. I'm interested in a wine-makers dinner!
Columbia Gorge Wine Tours
The Willamette Valley is where you get world class Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Gris. But we don't have much of the Cabernet Sauvignon, Viognier, Merlot, Zinfandel and Syrah. It's just too cool in the Willamette Valley to grow those varietals. The Columbia Gorge on the other hand offers these wines and spectacular views. Fruit stands are abundant as well as excellent restaurants and other scenic vistas. We will visit wineries in Hood River which is a beautiful one hour drive from Portland (vs. a 45 minute drive to wine country from downtown). The beautiful Columbia River, Mt. Hood, Mt Adams and fruit trees surround the wineries and vineyards. The staff at the wineries are very friendly and the lines are... not there! If you are looking for a little slower pace surrounded in the beauty of the Columbia Gorge and the big red (and white) wines then this is an excellent alternative for you. I would like more information on Hood River Wineries!
I realize that sometimes it's just easier to drive yourself but you just don't know where to go. This is the solution for you. Allow Oregon Wine Tours to customize an itinerary just for you. Tell us what you would like to experience and allow us to create a custom, self guided wine tour for you. You will receive a written itinerary for your day which includes information on the wineries we have suggested for you, driving directions, contact information and hours for the wineries along with suggested dining establishments.
Cost: $35
We will email you all the information you need to enjoy a great day on your own in wine country. Please have a designated driver and be safe. We want this to be a fun day for all.

Special Request Tours
Do you want a private tour to Walla Walla, Yakima. We can arrange visits at some of the most outstanding wineries in those areas. I will get you behind the scenes with private tastings and tours at numerous wineries in those areas. We typically do two to three day tours to that region since it's a four plus hour drive. We will make it happen and show you some wines and scenery that you won't soon forget. Do you want a seminar on the night before your tour which involves a wine education class on wine tasting, wine and food pairings, a wine makers dinner or what ever? We have a certified wine educator on staff to provide for any wine education needs you may have. We can do that! Do you want to start the day with a balloon ride with Vista Balloon adventures and then visit a couple of special wineries after words? We can do that.
