WHAT PEOPLE SAY!
WHY BOOK WITH US?
Book your tour with us and experience why we’re an award-winning tour! This is not your traditional wine tour; we customize this private tour to meet your needs and interests. Carmine, your tour guide, will interact with you before the tour to ensure that your wine country experience is memorable. He has over 30 years experience cultivating grapes and making wines. You have the option to tap his expertise as you taste wines, tour wine cellars, or explore vineyards. In 2023-2024 Oregon Winemaker Tours was named Best Pacific Northwest Winery Tour through LUXlife’s Global Excellence Awards, and in 2020 USA Today named this tour among the Top Twenty US Wine Tours.
Oregon’s amazing Willamette Valley located just outside the Portland metro area is nature’s masterpiece for growing cool-climate grapes, such as Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Its deep and complex soils, gently rolling hills, annual rainfall, cool and moderate seasonal temperatures, and long summer daylight coalesce to produce elite and delicious world-class wines. There are nearly 1000 wineries located in the region, offering you diverse sites in which to explore vineyards, cellars, and tasting rooms. Each location is unique in the size of the vineyard and wine production, particular wine-making techniques, hospitality services, and views offered, as well as wines available for tasting.
A trip to wine country with Oregon Winemaker Tours is perfect for singles, couples, or small groups. Relax and leave the driving to us while you enjoy a gourmet lunch and some of the world’s best wines. Cheers!
