Willamette Valley Wine Tour or Portland City Tour

Our team is the key to your incredible experience

Explore the wonderful, quirky, and picturesque city of Portland, or choose to visit three wineries and have lunch in a region famed for its pinot noir, and learn the history of the fine art of viticulture. Or make a full day of it and do both.

Willamette Valley Wine Tour

Sit back and let us share some of Oregon’s acclaimed boutique wineries with a private tour and tastings. Just outside Portland lies Willamette Valley Wine County, boasting nearly 400 wineries and tasting rooms. Award winning wineries such as Winter's Hill, Durant, Stoller, Rex Hill, Fox Farm, and Laurel Ridge have contributed to the prestige of the region. On this half-day tour, visit three of the aforementioned wineries that all deliver on elegance but leave the pretense at the door. From the first stop to the last, you’ll discover that each winery represents distinctive elements of the Willamette Valley, from biodynamic farming practices to unique single-block wines. We’ll enjoy fine wine, while learning about the art of viticulture from an expert guide and sometimes the winemakers themselves. A locally-sourced picnic lunch will be included. In the evening, explore Portland's restaurant scene independently. We’ll provide you with some of our favorite restaurant recommendations covering various types of cuisine. Or, perhaps you have another locale in mind already. With so many highly regarded restaurants in Portland, the real challenge will be narrowing it down to one!

Portland Half-Day City Tour

Portland, also known as The City of Roses, Stumptown, Bridgetown, Rip City, Little Beirut, or Beertown, is Oregon's most populous city, and the third most populous city in the Pacific Northwest. Whether in the Cultural District downtown or a renovated warehouse in the trendy Pearl District, it’s easy to see why Money magazine called Portland the “Best Big City” in North America. Rich in Northwest arts and heritage, the city and region are also noted for strong land-use planning, excellent public transportation and a progressive regional-government.

Join us for a guided tour of the city’s must-see highlights. We’ll start by taking in the iconic views of Portland and surrounding volcanic peaks at the historic Pittock Mansion. Next we explore the neighborhoods and Portland’s four main quadrants: Northeast, Northwest, Southeast and Southwest. Each quadrant has its own distinct feel and unique attractions including art galleries, boutiques, cafes, restaurants, and performance spaces. We will also visit at least two of the following parks: Washington Park, Rocky Butte, McCall Waterfront Park. Your naturalist guide will bring the parks alive by interpreting history, flora and fauna, and spotting birds.
