• 5Amazing wine tour with exceptional wine and views!

  My husband and I really enjoyed this wine tour of Willamette Valley! Our driver, Gunnar, was really knowledgeable about the city of Portland as well as the towns we drove through to get to the wine valley. We learned so much just on the drive to and from Portland! We went to 3 wineries which were all unique in their own ways. This was our first to Willamette Valley but certainly not our last!

• 5Wine Tasting in Oregon

  We spent the day visiting three wineries. Each stop was a prolonged stay so we were never rushed. Wines were good to excellent and were served in locations that took advantage of the great weather. Tastings, as expected, were primarily Pinot Noir, but they were quite different at each location. Gunner, our guide was friendly and helpful and helped make the trip a success.

About Portland

Portland is Oregon's largest city, a green Pacific Northwest city of bridges, rose gardens, food carts, craft beer and views of Mount Hood.

Portland sits where the Willamette River meets the Columbia, with the snow-covered cone of Mount Hood visible to the east on clear days. It is called the City of Roses, and the International Rose Test Garden in Washington Park, above the city, has thousands of rose bushes. Forest Park, one of the largest urban forests in the United States, covers the hills west of downtown, and the Japanese Garden nearby is a quiet retreat.

Top-ranked sights in Portland: Multnomah Falls, Latourell Falls, Columbia River Gorge.
