Eugene’s close proximity to the Willamette wineries, our first winery visit is less than 30 minutes. We will visit three wineries on the tour and taste several varietals at each one with nibbles along the way for pairing pleasure. We select your winery based on season and day of the week, each will have a unique and different experience from boutique to Estates to enhance your tour experience. Your tour guide will enlighten you on the region from history to terroir to elevate your wine tasting experience.
