You know home when you can taste it -- my family helped settle the LC Valley AVA in 1860. Hence, I was expecting my Mom, Dad, and I to end up teaching Clint about the area. Boy was I wrong. Clint seriously knows his stuff, including the wineries. After four hours we just started to scratch the surface -- I wish we would've hit pause, poured him a glass, and let him tell more stories. Exceedingly professional and safety aware too. I wasn't expecting much from my hometown's new AVA, having done tours and tastings in Nampa, Walla Walla, and Chelan. But I found our wineries are much more personable and, well, friendly. Part way through the tour I caught myself daydreaming about hunting when I was a kid on the Lewiston Hill -- and running out at Hell's Gate after a fresh rain. It snuck up on me. Stunned me. It was the wine! This is terroir. This is the taste of home! The rest of the tour I could tell by just the smell what was grown in the LC Valley AVA vs somewhere else and every time I couldn't stop from smiling. Thanks Clint! read more

Had a great time!! We were picked up at my relatives house in Lewiston. I was impressed by how professional our guide, Clint, was. Clint had a single headphone thing, that you put over one ear. I appreciated that it was made of smooth plastic that Clint said that he personally sanitized. I admit I'm a bit of a germ freak, so that was one less thing to worry about. Clint offered us bottled water (still or sparkling), and the van was clean and comfortable. I always felt safe. Clint provided commentary on the Lewis-Clark AVA, and the back story of each of the wineries. As we had the highest end tour, the tastings and dinner were included in the price. I enjoyed learning more about Lewis and Clark, and hearing about some of the history of the area. Dinner was excellent at Colter's Creek! I can't wait to come back and take some different relatives on this tour. I'd strongly recommend it to anyone who enjoys wine and learning the "behind-the-scenes" and backstory behind things. Clint definitely treats you right! read more

World-Class combination of knowledge, flexibility, hospitality and genuine professionalism! During our recent day of wine touring several of the vintners mentioned that the local wine business owes much to Clint and his tours; spend the day with him and you'll also be a huge fan. We began our stellar day in Moscow (additional pickup charge) and ended it back in Moscow MANY hours later after 4 winery tastings in the LC Valley AVA. Each stop was wonderful, in part because Clint and the wine makers have terrific rapport. When an unpredictable glitch required Clint to change the itinerary midway, he turned vinegar to champagne!! His insight, combined with the flexibility and generosity of wine makers, resulted in an UNFORGETTABLE DAY! Thanks Clint, 2 Bad Labs, Clearwater Canyon Cellars, Vine 46, Spiral Rock and Ampersand! read more

My husband and I wanted to have a fun local excursion on a Saturday. I've been on several wine tours before but I didn't know what to expect from the Lewiston area. We met Clint at the Red Lion and were on our way driving around Lewiston learning about the local history in between stops at some fantastic wineries hidden amongst the hills of the Snake and Clearwater river valleys. I guess I wasn't expecting the wine to be as good as it was but that is one assumption I am happy to say was mistaken. I really think the wine industry is just on the verge of taking off here and I'm looking forward to taking family on this tour the next time they're in town. read more

I had a friend visiting from out of town, and I was looking for something for us to do. A local wine tour definitely fit the bill. As an entrepreneur who built a local transportation company from the ground up, and later selling the company, I know how difficult this industry is. Clint, the owner of the company and our tour guide, is hitting everything exactly right. Well dressed, he was well prepared, and knows his topic: namely, the Lewis/Clark Valley, since he grew up here. His tour was well done, and I was impressed that he seemed to have thought of everything. I have already recommended his services to other friends in the area. read more

October 2018 was my first tour with Clint and our group had such an amazing day we booked our return for April 2019. Another fabulous experience wine tasting with Clint. The relationship Clint has with the wineries/wine makers creates a relaxed personal environment where the feeling is a private tasting offered by friends. Clint treats you to a day where every detail has been thought through, information of the LC Valley AVA is flowing, the food is spectacular (don't miss lunch at Ampersand) and lifetime memories are made. Thank you Clint - we'll be back :-) read more

This wine tour was fun and informative. We visited 6 different wineries and each winemaker was friendly and seemed to enjoy answering any questions we had. Clint, the tour guide and owner, was so knowledgeable about the local area, its history, and knew all about each winery. He entertained us with several great stories and he provided us with top notch customer service. The wines were great and lunch was delicious. Twisted Vine Wine Tours provides an excellent wine tour experience and I highly recommend this tour to everyone. read more

The only way to tour!! This was a WONDERFUL tour. Clint is hospitable, fun, and extremely knowledgeable about the rich history and culture that the LC Valley holds. He told the stories and tidbits in a way that was informative but entertaining.. Our group had a fantastic time and Clint did an excellent job of keeping us on track but allowing us enough time to enjoy each venue. Every detail was thought of- and then some! I highly recommend this tour. We will definitely revisit Twisted Vine when we come back to Idaho! read more

We went on the Ghost Tour with Clint and Garry Bush on Halloween. We had a fantastic time on the tour. Garry started the tour with the history of Morgans Alley and then left us in the hands of the capable Clint. Clint took us to two different locations and just let us explore and experience the creepiness of Halloween night in historic Downtown Lewiston. His historical knowledge of the locations we visited was spot on and just right for this event. I can't wait to go on one of his wine tours! read more

I heard about this wine tour, and wanted an easy way to try out the wineries that we hadn't tried yet. It was great! Not only was Clint, the tour guide, really professional and saw to all of our needs, he was very knowledgeable about the history of the area and, of course, about the wines we tasted. I would definitely go on this tour again, especially since he told us he has an in on two more wineries coming soon! read more

A WORLD CLASS TOUR!!! I had no idea that such a high quality tour was available right here at home. The tour guide was excellent, the information he gave was fun and interesting, and the tour itself was a ton of fun. I have gone on this tour twice now, and it was different each time. I am looking forward to going on it again after the wineries come out with their spring releases. read more

Clint provides an amazing experience with excellent insight into the history & culture of the region. This is a fun tour and the service is outstanding. read more

I did both the Winery tour and the Ghost tour! Both fabulous. Loved Clint's knowledge of the Lewis Clark valley. I would definitely take both again. read more

Always fun to go on a tour with Clint! Very knowledgeable and a great tour guide. Would recommend this tour to everyone!
