What makes this wine tour special? This is the best way to experience Oregon’s incredible wine scene without leaving the city! We’ve worked with local wine makers who have curated a special experience just for us. You’ll try 10+ Oregon wines by 3 wineries from the Willamette Valley, including a variety of whites, rosés, and reds, each paired with a small bite.

  • Jumpstart your evening by tasting 4 different Oregon wines paired with local artisan popcorn at a winery that focuses on making approachable yet distinctive wine. While sipping and snacking, you’ll learn about the grape varieties in Oregon, how our climate keeps them growing, and why family-run wineries are the backbone of our wine industry.
  • Savor three different wine varietals in a rustic 1908 factory turned wine tasting room at one of the state’s pioneering wineries. Here, a wine expert will teach us the art of pairing local wines and cheeses…a true Oregon experience!
  • Wander through 2 trendy Portland neighborhoods, the Pearl and Slabtown. Once a dense forest, these districts bordering Downtown now boast trendy restaurants, countless breweries, and charming wine bars. Best explored by foot, we’ll uncover relics of Portland’s beginnings from the industrial revolution all the way to our exceptional gastro-scene
  • Cap off your evening with 3 distinct wines, a white and two pinots, each paired with traditional Danish sandwiches called Smørrebrøds. Discover how this family’s journey from Denmark weaves a perfect blend of tradition and personality. You won’t be a tourist here – you’ll be part of the family.
