About

Come and enjoy a private tour at some Oregon's award-winning wineries.

The upper Willamette Valley has over 500 wineries. The majority of Oregon's wineries are growing award-winning Pinot Noir along with Rieslings, Chardonnay, and Pinot Gris, to mention a few. When visiting this beautiful wine country, be ready to experience a large variety of cool weather wines. Yes, we can sneak in a couple of big Oregon big reds too.

Most tasting fees at the wineries range from $25.00 to $40.00 per person per winery. Some wineries have up to a $100.00 per person per tasting fee. Each winery has its policies on waiving tasting fees and prices. Most wineries will waive the tasting fees when you make purchases.

Many Oregon wineries have Elevated Tasting Experiences. These experiences have extra fees and are subject to availability.

Shopping in Oregon can be a surprise. Oregon has no sales tax.

Some wineries offer lite lunch options; local eateries require a reservation, and Embrace Oregon has lunch box options for a fee. When you make your tour reservations, let us know what you would like to do for lunch.

Depending on the airline you are flying with, some airlines will fly Oregon's wines free or as a second bag if you want to take some wine home with you on the plane. Check with your airlines on their second bag policy. Let us know if you need a shipping box for taking wines home. Wineries do have shipping boxes and will ship their wines for you.

All Experiences come with photos. We place your tour photos on our Embrace Oregon Tours New Facebook Page. Please take a look at our page and be our friend: https://www.facebook.com/embraceoregontour/
