Willamette Valley Wine Tour with Lunch
Begin your day of wine-tasting with morning pickup from your downtown Portland hotel. Greet your guide and small group, grab a comfortable seat on the minibus, and set off for the Willamette Valley, rewarded with views of the Cascade Mountains en route. Spend the ride chatting with your wine-expert guide about the history of the region's top-rated wine scene. The fertile Willamette Valley soil nurtures more than 250 vineyards, which can overwhelm visitors. Instead, your guide designs a custom itinerary suited for the group. Every itinerary includes stops at three or four wineries (tasting fees own expense). At each winery, sample fine wine, stroll through historic facilities, and learn about wine production. Along the way, enjoy a gourmet wine country-style picnic lunch. Your day concludes with hotel drop-off in the evening.
