I guess if you are looking at this blog then you probably found me through my web site. First of all, thank you for checking us out. I do hope that you find us to be the right service for you and that you give us a chance. We do appreciate your business.
I've only been doing this for a little over three years now and we have honestly learned a ton. I am constantly doing continuing education because I feel it's important to you. I want my guests to be able to feel comfortable in the tasting room, learn a little about wine and to have a great time.
Some tours really want to learn a lot about wine, the vineyards and gain in knowledge. Some tours want to go out and drink wine and have someone drive them around safely. Some tours are on day outings through work and really don't care. Honestly, I do prefer the first group. I love to share with you the things that I am passionate about. But I also know that all three groups are still out to have a fun day and I want to make sure that I do everything I can to make that happen for you. I love what I do and feel very fortunate to be able to provide our service to you, no matter what category you fall in.
We have such wonderful people here in the Oregon Wine Industry and you find many exciting things happening all the time. This is a wonderful industry to be part of and I really want to share that with you, our guests.
I recently read a little advertisement about us and was a little taken back by what I read. I won't tell you where it was. They wrote the little article without talking to us at all. They said that we are a family run business which is true. My wife and I own Oregon Wine Tours together. They did say that we are a "no frill" tour company and that I have to argue with. Well, I've never run my van off the road and I've never had a fight break out in my van and we've never seen alien space vehicles while out touring a vineyard so maybe that's what they meant? We do provide very customized tours which can include wine makers dinners / lunches. We can do side trips, we provide full winery tours at select locations to show you how the wine is made from vineyard to tasting room. We do what ever you want of us, within reason. It's your day and we want to cater to your needs. As much as possible anyway. We've even played disco on the stereo and had rousing sing-alongs. That was a long day! We have excellent relationships with the wineries and can get you into many places that are by appointment only. We don't think wine is so special that it can't be shared by all. We just want to have fun and make sure you do too. It's really that simple.
Cheers,
Ron
