Private Weintour für 4 Personen

Had an exceptional weekend with Wayne "the Wizard" Oppenheimer from A Great Wine Tour - celebrating my wife and my 10 year anniversary and my brother in-law and his wife’s 11 year anniversary in Willamette Valley. Wayne is passionate about wine and loves teaching people about Oregon wine. Wayne knows the entire valley well. Wayne is more than a tourist - he became our friend and we look forward to the next time we go to the Oregon region. He catered our trip to our preference and what he thought would give us the best experience. Wayne and I spoke months prior and immediately I knew the trip to Wine country would be entertaining based on our conversations. We had to postpone our trip to Oregon in January to March due to Omicron and flight cancellations - Wayne was very understanding and accommodating because we were flying in from Orlando, FL. Wayne picked us up at the Willamette Bed and Breakfast with his Silver nails, ready to begin our two day wine adventure - exploring seven wineries. The choices of the wineries was a collaborative effort with me giving my suggestion with an itinerary, adjusted with winemakers and vineyards that Wayne believed we would enjoy - which he was correct. We started off on a hilltop in a Trailer with Trent Moffett - totally different than any other wine experience, but probably one of the best experiences. Very knowledgeable winemaker who grew up in the industry in Napa, then brought his skills to Willamette. The entire trip Wayne was describing the topography, plants, wineries, the history, and provided very funny stories. Later we spent time at Ayoub - a winery that we have been to before and Wayne reminded us how much of an experience it is to visited Mo Ayoub in his own home. We were scheduled to go to one of the bigger wineries, but made an audible - decided to go to Hyland Vineyard is deeply rooted in Oregon Wine history. Great choice by Wayne - winery is one of the oldest and best places we went during this trip. Our first day was incredible; however, Day Two was an experience that we have never participated in the past. We spent all morning with Ryan Sherman who is the winemaker of Communiquè - spent hours learning about the wine process, tasting wines from the barrels in the storage room, and created a friendship that should last forever. Afterwards we continued our travels to Bethel Heights, which was the most gorgeous of all the wineries and the wine complemented the beauty of it’s surroundings. We finished the day at Cristom winery and it was a perfect ending to our wine adventure with Wayne. Thank you Wayne for an exceptional wine experience.

Wayne was absolutely fabulous. Super fun and accommodating to my friends and I. He picked us up promptly at our hotel at 9am and provided great information about the Willamette Valley and the city of Portland. He selected great vineyards for us to tour and made and awesome charcuterie board for our group!! Awesome experience and I recommend any group looking for a great day in the Willamette Valley definitely book with Wayne.... He's awesome.

Wayne and Camille are the best people! My wife and I have taken 3 or 4 tours with A Great Oregon Wine Tour... We began taking them annually, as a day-after Thanksgiving tradition, but most recently spent a day of our honeymoon with them, drinking great wine with great people. I think there are two things that make the experience particularly special with these folks: 1) They're personable! They provide an incredibly knowledgeable, but equally approachable experience. Friendly, boisterous at times, humble, and real. They're guides will "read the room" and adjust accordingly. It is truly a stress-free experience. 2) They know wine country. If you want to know the intracacies of the topography, they can provide it. Want to know what a wine maker's background is? They know it. They know who's selling who fruit, and what that fruit is being turned in to. I can't say enough nice things about out experiences, but can say that we will absolutely do another tour when we're back in Oregon.
