We’ve done all of the work for you, and guests love that this tour is curated with wine flights that are ready when we arrive. Due to time restraints and the nuance in personal preference, flights and bite pairings are pre-selected and prepared before the tour beings. Therefore we do not accept personalized requests. We will try a variety of white, rosé, and red wines at each stop.
We meet personally with the wine experts to select the best wines and bites (sometimes off-menu!) and perfect portions for you. We promise there’s something for everyone.
Each wine flight is paired with curated small bites. These bites are the equivalent of an appetizer, and not meant to be a replacement for lunch or dinner.
The tour includes around 10 wine tastes, which is the equivalent of about 3 glasses of wine. Each wine is paired with a small bite, which is the equivalent of an appetizer. This tour is meant to introduce you to the many varieties of wines in Oregon with small bites as a bonus. We find most people go to dinner after the tour.
Our tours include wine and paired bites, along with a local guide, in the price of the tour. Most wine tours to the Willamette Valley only include transportation, and tasting fees are paid for by you at each winery. That doesn’t happen on our tour!
You’ll not only eat and drink on our tour, but you’ll learn a lot while exploring Portland like a local. We want you to sit back, relax, and have us do all the work for you. The only thing not included is gratuity for your tour guide, which is always greatly appreciated.
Keep in mind, at each place we visit we pay for the wine, food, and staff gratuity. Winemaking is a labor of love, which does not come at a low price, and we are proud to support our partners for the tastes and service they provide to our tour guests.
While we do eat small bites on the tour, we suggest eating lunch beforehand. Please keep in mind we will be trying 10+ wine tastings which are best enjoyed on a full stomach.
While Portland has many great wineries throughout the city, we are limited on this wine tour by logistics; i.e. walkability, vendor operating hours, reservation requirements, etc. Since this is a walking tour through a small neighborhood, we do not take winery requests or customized tour requests.

We will visit 3 wineries on the tour. We do not recommend visiting and tasting at more than 3 in one day. We are at each winery for approx. 20-30 minutes. Just enough time to enjoy a wine flight, paired bites, and get information from the expert staff.
We’re confident we’ve curated a very special experience that you cannot get on your own. You don’t have to worry about picking where to go, making reservations, and shelling out money for each tasting. You get to sit back while we do all the hard work for you! We’ve spent time with our winery partners to go off-menu and deliver an educational tasting and food experience you’ll only get by joining this tour.
Please note, this tour is all inclusive so your tasting fees are included in the price. Most wineries we visit also offer a discount on bottle purchases to guests on our tour.
