We had an amazing experience with Oregon Select Wine tours. Ginger was personable and very knowledgeable about the industry. She ensured that we had a great day and even nudged a few of the wineries who needed it in regards to filling our water and when we were ready for the next tasting. Oregon Select Wine Tours is the best! read more

A friend and I decided to go wine tasting and didn't want to hassle with driving. I found Oregon Select Wine Tours online and contacted them. Jeff provided a lot of good suggestions based on my input. Carrie, the driver, did an excellent job explaining key differences between techniques for making wine. We were very satisfied and I will use them in the future when my wine-loving friends come to the Portland area. read more

We used Oregon Select Wine for my birthday winetasting celebration. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect day! Kari was our driver and guide. Not only was she gracious and professional, but she knew about all of the wineries and wine! I felt like we had our own personal sommelier with us throughout the day. It made the day even more enjoyable knowing that our group had safe and comfortable transportation. I would highly recommend this company and Kari as a driver! Thank you for making my birthday extra special! read more

My special lady friend and I were celebrating one year together in the Willamette Valley. And, This company came very highly rated from the Allison hotel where we were staying. Jeff picked us up in an exceptionally clean, new Chrysler 300. And, he took us to a couple of previously scheduled tastings. His driving was excellent and didn't give me a seconds pause for our safety or comfort. After consulting with us about our wine preferences, Jeff took us to some additional tastings which turned out to be fabulous. Being with a local like Jeff was a huge advantage. We got to meet winemakers, taste unreleased vino and really get to see the burgeoning wine industry in the beautiful Willamette Valley! Thanks to Oregon Select Wine Tours, we had a flawless day of tasting like a local in the know. Thank you, Jeff! We'll see you next time. read more

Oregon Select Wine Tours - Like a wine king - Wine Tours Near Me

We have used Jeff, Ginger and the team a few times now and every outing is better than the last. This last outing was very last minute and they worked hard to get us in to the wineries we really wanted to visit and filled out the day with a couple of great recommendations from them. Their service and communication is exemplary. Their knowledge of the area, its history, the wines and wine makers makes for a very informative and enjoyable wine experience. In fact, they have introduced us to many wonderful wines and winemakers that we never would have on our own. We can't wait to book our next trip with them to explore more of the Willamette Wines. read more

We spent three days with Jeff, tasting at various vineyards and tasting rooms. He is extremely friendly, professional, caring, understanding and knowledgeable about the Williamette Valley. It's takes a lot for this ole guy to extend a compliment on the Internet but it's well earned. We selected OSWT from previous reviews. We lucked out to find all to be true. We had a great time. Wouldn't change a thing. (Well, maybe we'd skip the last one this costumer choose!). Thanks Jeff, it was great. read more

We scheduled our tour with Oregon Select Wine Tours several weeks before arrival. Jeff was great about communicating with us. Jeff picked us up right in time in a well appointed SUV stocked with water. We left the selection of vineyards completely to Jeff and couldn't have be happier. We went to several that were well off the beaten path. In doing so, we had the opportunity to meet several great winemakers. Jeff's knowledge of the area and winemaking greatly enhanced our visit to Oregon. He is far more then 'just' a driver, he's a ambassador for all the great things about Oregon. read more

Kari was such a wonderful driver and guide for our wine touring yesterday. We did not want and/or have to ask for a single thing. She gave us VIP treatment the entire day.

This was our first trip to Oregon. We are Pinot noir lovers and have been drinking Willamette Valley wines for several years before finally making a visit. We stayed at the Allison Inn and the concierge recommended Oregon Select Wine Tours. Jeff was vey responsive throughout the booking process. He set up a wonderful private tour for us that was perfectly matched to our interests. The pick up was on time in a clean, comfortable SUV. The ride was very smooth and Jeff gave a lot of helpful information along the way. We visited 4 wineries which we would never have found even if we came back 20 times. Talk about impossible to find Pinot Noir! We will definitely use this company on our return visit. read more

We had a ladies weekend (6 in group) in Oregon wine country and everything about our experience was first class. We wanted something special and knew I found it with my first interaction with Jeff who quickly put my mind at ease that they would customize our experience to my specifications and would take care of everything. Our driver for the day was JD who showed up promptly and although we were running a little late let us know "it is your day, whatever you need"... he called the first winery that he had pre-scheduled and let them know we were running a little late... we were in good hands! Every location he picked was exactly what we would have asked for if we knew the area. Not only did he call ahead and help with our take out food order for lunch, he confirmed with our next stop we could bring in food (he even bussed our lunch at the vineyard)! Just wow! read more

We used Oregon Select Wine Tours this past weekend and it was excellent. If you want to not worry about a thing and have a amazing day.. use Oregon Select! Ginger took care of finding great boutique wineries for us, ordered lunch and had it ready for us on our 2nd stop and she's a local so she knows the area inside and out. Thank you for a FUN day with my girls sippin wine! read more

Just spent two wonderful, informative days with owner/driver Jeff, touring wineries. He took us to wineries with incredible wines and scenery, and leveraged his relationships with the local winery owners to give us a personalized experience. He's a pro at choosing which wineries to take you to based on what you tell him you like. Six friends, fine wine, SO ENJOYABLE! read more

Oregon Select Wine Tours - Wine Tours Near Me

This was my first wine tour and it was everything more than I could expect!!!. It started about 3 weeks ago, when I was visiting my brother in Vegas and he let me know his wife and him were coming to Portland to help his daughter and her husband show their son a college tour. And of course, he said I and our middle brother, who leaves in Portland, was responsible for the "arrangements." He is the eldest, and I love him, but he can be pushy ;). Anyway, when I got back to Portland it was like what were we going to do and knowing my brother liked wine -- actually we all do -- I thought a wine tour would be great. Now, unfortunately this is getting to be the busy season and finding a tour guide in less than 3 weeks was a challenge. I hit up 3 wine tours and everyone was very nice to refer me to someone else and after a couple of rounds I finally got to Jeff. Hallelujah! Now we did have a lot of unknowns -- number of people, number of wineries to visit, pack a lunch, etc. I wanted to keep our schedule flexible and one person in our tour was having scheduling issues. Jeff patiently worked through all of these unknowns, explaining how as a large group it would be polite to schedule ahead versus just dropping in. Suggesting a great lunch place -- The Horse Radish -- and keeping it flexible for our 8th person if they would show or not and setting us up so that we could have a 4th winery to visit if we wanted. It was just great, once we got our needs defined, Jeff arranged it all. So on Saturday (4/16), we had 7 people, all family, and Jeff was there in a nice van right on time. We piled in and off we went. Jeff grew up in the area and he was knowledgeable about its history, the various AVAs, and what made the Willamette Valley area unique to Pinot Noirs. We enjoyed the ride down as he explained the difference between cool years and warm years and how personal tastes can influence the wines you rave about or the wines that go meh. One point, and after this trip I understand it, is if you are buying Pinot Noirs at less than $50 you are missing the Pinot Noir experience. Also, Jeff was very familiar with how to get wines shipped through Alaska and made sure our cases were properly packed and marked for the free shipping Alaska offers on wine. Jeff organized this like a symphonic composer. We stopped at Hawks View. Beautiful place with excellent wines. Sort of the exposition to our excursion. He knew when to step back and let the winery people take the lead. He was there if we had questions, made sure people were not distracted from the presentations, and when we were buying making sure everything was packed properly and all people and items were accounted for. Then we went into the exposition at the second winery. I will tell you that this vintner's wines were not of this world. It was like we were drinking liquid ambrosia of the gods. The owner of this winery was like a sculptor who chips away at the stone to reveal the art existing within the stone. If you want to find this place, call Jeff. I am not going to talk. Then an intermission at the Horse Radish for lunch. I had the best ham sandwich in 40 years there. Finally, the recapitulation in a different interval at Dundee Hills Estates. We enjoyed an incredible view of the Willamette Valley, with Mount Hood in the distance. We enjoyed their offerings, bought more wine. Finally we were done. Jeff took care of all the packing and stowing, we could enjoy the wine, views, and the wonderful afterglow of a wonderful day. As my oldest brother said "It gave me a totally different perspective of Portland, it is just incredible." I want to thank Jeff for helping me make this happen, for providing us with a wonderful experience to treasure, and for educating us in the enjoyment of Oregon's wine country. Thank you! read more

My husband and I were referred to Jeff's tour company by The Allison, where we were staying. With very little notice, Jeff paired us with Carrie, who scooped us up from the hotel lobby and took us on a fantastic day of wine tasting. She picked wonderful spots, where we were welcomed with warmth and delicious, delicious wine. The tour was the highlight of our trip to Oregon. We can't wait to visit again, and will absolutely book another day with Oregon Select Wine Tours! read more

This company is fantastic! Our driver, Carrie, was warm and wonderful and helpful. It was our first trip to the wine country in Oregon and Carrie & her company set up a great day for us... showing us a real cross section of wonderful wines .. that were tailored to our tastes, but also showed us some different things as well. They also picked a fantastic place for lunch.. a great way to savor the local flavors. We had a dream day and we owe it all to them! read more

My best friend and I were staying at the Allison Inn & Spa and were directed to Oregon Select Wine Tours for a day of swirling and sipping in the Valley. Best decision! We got the pleasure of being escorted around by Ginger, who was so much fun. It was like having another girlfriend with us. She took us to vineyards we didn't have on our list, and to be honet, they were MUCH better than the popular spots everyone tells you to visit. This group definitely knows their vino and makes sure you leave with a "personal" experience. The transportation was comfortable, easy and most importantly, on time. I strongly suggest you choose Oregon Select Wine Tours for your Willamette Valley wining and dining! read more
