Winter Wine Tours

I am constantly getting calls asking if we do tours on Sundays or tours in December or.... The answer is YES! I'm open all year for wine tours. The best days are Wednesday through Sunday and honestly, I think the winter months are an excellent time to go wine tasting because the tasting rooms are less crowded so you get much more one on one attention from the tasting room staff. Every time of year has pros and cons so overall, the winter months are a good time to get out and enjoy some fantastic wines.

Cheers,

Oregon's Wine Harvest




Well this has been an interesting harvest in 2007. Right in the middle of September when everyone is almost ready to start picking, the rains came... At this point, I'm sure that all of the wine makers are on the phone with the other area wine makers asking, "we'll are we going to pick or wait for the sun to come back...?" You see in Oregon, we usually get a beautiful Indian summer, but when and will it actually come are the key points there.
2007 will go down as a year of the real wine makers. This will separate the men from the boys and the women from the girls. Those who are good, will make some exceptional wines and those who aren't... won't... I've already heard some very interesting stories of what some are doing in the wineries.
I guess you'll just have a book a tour to find out who's who...

Cheers!
