Willamette Valley: Hidden Gems & Artisan Winery Tour

Tito was very fun to have as a guide. His warm personality and knowledge of the Portland and wine area were impressive. We went to 3 wineries and had one whiskey tasting stop. Very delightful day

Wonderful venue, great and courteous service and great food! We travel from Lebanon to eat there because the burgers are so good! We don't drink wine so I can't weigh in on the spirits.

This was THE perfect tour!! I am so thankful I found this tour through Terran Travels while searching in TripAdvisor! My friend and I booked this tour to do during a weekend in Portland for our 50th birthdays. To start with, they were great with the communication. The night beforehand, I received a text from the owner, telling me what time I should meet the shuttle the next morning. Then, the next morning, we discovered there was going to be a marathon right outside our hotel, closing the street we were supposed to meet the shuttle on so when I texted the owner, we were able to figure out a street a block away to meet at. Our driver Dean showed up there and picked us up. Our tour only had 4 other people on it, so it was a nice, small size. Dean was fabulous. He knew all about the history of the area and also told us a little about his history as well-- he's a fascinating person! His delivery of the tons of information he gave us as we drove was perfect- delivered in an interesting, engaging way. We first went to go see Multnomah Falls, which I'd never seen before. Just gorgeous! We had a little time to hit the tourist store, which was great. Then we went to the first winery, Marchesi Vineyards. Very nice outdoor spot with a fire pit. The second winery was Grateful Vineyards, where we discovered a fall festival going on. I could tell Dean had not been aware of this but he handled the hiccup well and still got us a table and told us lunch was paid for. We had a delicious pear pizza, drizzled with balsamic vinegar. After the Grateful Vineyards, we drove to this cool spot near Mount Hood, where you can get out and see the moraine rocks that had been left behind by shifting glaciers years ago. The last stop was the Timberline Lodge, a cool ski area/hotel with lots of neat history. If you're researching winery tours in the Portland area, I highly recommend this group! It's much more reasonably priced than the other options out there and well worth more!

The tour guide was great, but it has gotten more expensive, visitor tours used to include tasting in price not separately. Tour is nice but overpriced for what you get. Lunch was minimal.

The three wineries were all unique and all had friendly staff. The settings were all amid the vineyards, giving us the chance to see the heavy vibes, just before harvest.

Brittany, our driver, was amongst the best part of our journey. Right up there with the wine. She is lovely. We visited three wineries and I was impressed. I moved here from a California wine making region and the Willamette wines are as good (if not better) in such me cases. I highly recommend this tour!

Brittany was a great driver / host for our wine tour. So personable and informative! It was a great day tasting wines from three wineries, which also included lunch. Very informative - learned lots from the winemakers. Didn't realize there was so much to learn about the Willamette Valley! Curiousity is peaked, research being done and pinot noirs are being consumed.

Visited 3 wineries. Wonderful experience for me and my 2 daughters. Thanks Brittany for an amazing day!!

What a wonderful day! Thank you Brittany for being such a fantastic, fun and informative guide! We had a small group but made fast friends with Charda and Laura! Cherry Hill Winery was our favorite of all of us by far!! David, our tasting guide and wine developer was an absolute delight!! We really liked the Fox Farm Vineyards and David (we got lucky with two Davids today!) who was our tasting guide and owner was so knowledgeable. The charcuterie boards shown are from lunch at the Stohler Family Estates Winery. Good food and lots of it! Thank you Viator! You never fail to impress!
