Description

World-famous Pinot Noirs, crisp Chardonnays, and sweet Rieslings are just a taste of the dozens of wines that Oregon has to offer. On this adventure through the rolling hills of the Willamette Valley, we’ll visit three carefully selected vineyards, wineries, and tasting rooms. Guests will partake in tasting flights and experience a behind-the-scenes view of viticulture. Departing from downtown Portland, we’ll make our way along the Vineyard and Valley Scenic Route, past orchards, lavender fields, 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. We’ll also discuss the 6 different sub-appellations of the valley. 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. Surrounded by the science, production, and study of grapes, our guests feel like experts in no time! From the wineries selected, we’ll enjoy sweeping views of the Cascade Mountain Range as well as stunning, rolling hill vineyard vistas. We will stop at a local, gourmet delicatessen in Portland before heading to the Willamette Valley, where guests will be encouraged to pick up a picnic-style lunch that can be kept cold on board the tour vehicle. We will be able to bring our lunches out at our second winery to enjoy with our tastings. You will have a chance to purchase wine at the wineries. 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 your tasting fees.
