I hope I'm no too scary this early in the morning.
We've said it multiple times but in the is the very best! Look at this amazing pumpkin carving from our friends Cramoisi Vineyard 🎃 - and their wines are amazing too! 👏
Oh the Willamette Valley!
Wine is surely our favorite subject in this region, but with the cool, moist climate of the Willamette Valley, we boast over 170 different crops and livestock grown here. From grass, tree fruits and nuts, berries, vegetables, christmas trees, hazelnuts, wheat, oats, mint, hops and more - this region is ripe with opportunity.
In recent decades, the valley has become a major wine producer, with multiple American Viticultural Areas of its own and world-wide recognition. With a cooler climate and gently rolling hills, the Willamette is home to some of the best Pinot Noir in the world, not to mention the most expensive.
In addition to the flagship Pinot Noir grape, wineries produce exceptional Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc, Chardonnay, Riesling, Gewürztraminer, Sparkling wine and so many more.
Get to know this region for wine and beyond, you will discover it's a never ending wonder of delights and a treasure destination.

Not only do we love this time of year for but it's also just a spooky-fab time in wine country.
We always love seeing these good-old-greeters at Styring Vineyards ☠️
Go visit them at their amazing tasting room, daily in October from 12 to 4pm!
🍷
We love having the opportunity to explore endless rows of vineyards, cellars, bottles and more, in this beautiful wine country.

Your reviews matter!

"WOW! This was by far an incredible experience. Wayne was a hoot to talk to on the phone prior to our arrival. He even shared an excellent restaurant recommendation that ended up being a highlight of the trip. Dasha is incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and goes above and beyond. I was expecting an overcrowded and basic experience, but A Great Oregon Wine Tour blew it out of the park. We discovered amazing vineyards that we had never heard of before which quickly became new favorites. We enjoyed a private tasting in a wine barrel room, and got to make a new friend at our final stop. Overall 10/10 highly recommend! We can't wait for our wines to arrive in October and to get back out west."
Thanks so much, Ana!

This is so cool! This is a photo from our friends at Stoller Family Estate of their latest harvest of Pinot Noir.
It's showing the - what is a punch down process? The term “punch down” means to push down the grapes throughout the wine fermentation process. The traditional methods of stomping grapes with people's feet have now become grape punching with tools like this pictured. This process protects the juice against mold, while enriching the wines flavors and tannins.
🍷
We just had to share this amazing capture from our friends at - harvest is truly the best time of year in the northwest!
🍷
Kevin had an awesome day out in wine country with his group from FlipSide Crypto. They had lunch and did wine tasting at Alloro Vineyard in Sherwood!
We're in harvest but some of the fruit was still hanging on awaiting its turn. They all had a blast!

| Rodeo Hills | Jared Etzel is a very humble but talented winemaker with an impressive pedigree - his latest venture #rodeohillswine is equally impressive. The Etzels moved from Colorado to Oregon in the early 1980's and purchased an old hazelnut orchard/pig farm. They planted their first vines in 1988. Jared shared with us that when he was a kid, and his Dad would take them up Worden Hill Road in a Volkswagon bug before the road was paved and that the ride was wild - wild like a rodeo his Dad would say. The rest is history. 🍷 #theoppenheimersgowinetasting

We LOVE seeing your reviews and photos, thanks for sharing, Danielle! "I recently visited Portland for a girls getaway and we booked Wayne for an all day wine tour of Willamette Valley. This was the best decision we made on the trip! He took us to 3 wineries with incredible wines and at our second stop we enjoyed a delicious spread of cheeses and meats that paired perfectly with our tastings. Wayne has an infinite amount of knowledge about wines and Portland to keep the day drive fun and interesting too! He went above and beyond to make this day special for us – even acted as our own personal photographer 😊 Can’t recommend this tour enough!" 🍷 #winetours #winetasting
