- Our tour with Ken was excellent. The wineries that he picked were outstanding. His knowledge of the area and local wineries is superb and really provides a really unique insight into the Willamette Valley and the people making the wines. In addition, his knowledge of the history of wine and its influence on history, both world and US, was fascinating. I would highly recommend Wine History Tours.

Excellent Tour, Excellent Guide, Amazing Experience - This was by far the best tour my husband and I have ever taken. Ken was all around an excellent guide and he made the trip spectacular. He arranged 3 different wine tastings for us at some of the best wineries in the area and planned a stop at a local place for sandwiches which was outstanding.
He was very responsive when I messaged him with questions and even suggested a few additional wineries to try on our own as well as a dinner spot where we had the most amazing Italian food ever!
We will recommend this tour to all of our friends and family!

Willamette Valley- the best way to enjoy! - Wow! What an incredible day spent on the Wine History Tour in Willamette Valley. From the moment we set off, picked up at our AirBnB, we were intrigued by Ken's wealth of knowledge and his genuine enthusiasm for the deep roots of wine in our human story, a shared interest. The Willamette Valley itself is gorgeous, and the views were truly breathtaking. Traveling in a comfortable Volvo SUV made the journey seamless and relaxing. And the weather? Absolutely perfect! This tour isn't just about tasting wine; it's about understanding its significance, all while surrounded by stunning beauty. I wholeheartedly recommend this experience!

Fine wines, education, and beautiful scenery - We experienced 4 wineries covering Yamhill-Carlton, Dundee Hills, and Ribbon Ridge AVAs. Ken did a great job of planning and choosing where to go. He was very knowledgable about wine in general and wine making specifically in Willamette Valley. We learned a lot from him as we rode through the beautiful Oregon countryside. It was an excellent tour!

Stop looking- you’ve found the best wine tour! - Do yourself a favor and book with Wine History Tours.
This is a great company- I cannot recommend them enough. I booked this as part of a girls trip- to set the stage we are a group of East Coast women who have been friends for 20+ years. Ken was incredibly responsive and accommodated our large group of 7. He even gave us recommendations for restaurants in Portland near our hotel. Ken was already booked the date we requested so he arranged for Wes to take us around. This wasn’t an issue at all because Wes was fantastic- showed up right on time, was kind, friendly, super chill, knowledgeable, funny, and wanted to make sure we had a great time.
Ken met up with us twice during the day and was wonderful, funny, and kind as well. And they put together a fantastic itinerary of wineries and lunch. The locations were beautiful, wine and food delicious, and the people leading the tastings were experts and also fun. When we encountered one issue (totally outside Wes or Ken’s control), Ken and Wes quickly pivoted to bring us to another vineyard that was just as beautiful and more our vibe. The wine tour was the perfect way to end our amazing girls trip and I will be recommending this company to anyone who goes to the Valley.

Great time in Wine Country Oregon - My wife and I had the best time. We met both Tamara and Ken who were fantastic hosts. We visited many local wineries and tasted some of the best Pinot Noir's that Oregon has to offer. We will recommend this trip to all our friends. Thanks again Ken and Tamara for exceeding all expectations.
