Willamette Valley Small-Group Wine Tasting Tour From Portland
Your wine tour begins when you meet your guide and small group at Director Park in downtown Portland for the ride to the charming town of Newberg — the gateway to the Willamette Valley wine region. For the next several hours, enjoy picturesque views as your guide takes you through rolling hills, past orchards, lavender farms, and bountiful vineyards. Stop at three carefully selected wineries for tours, viticulture discussions, and wine tastings (own expense). Learn about local wine production and sip on rich cabernets, oaky chardonnays, some of Oregon’s world-renowned pinot noirs and more. Along the way, enjoy live commentary from your guide and catch views of the Cascade Mountains. Top off your wine tasting experience by purchasing a few bottles of your favorite varietals to take home. Then relax as your passenger van makes the scenic drive back to downtown Portland, where your tour concludes.
