General Info
Viator? Expedia? Should clients book with them?
No Way and here is why. With Viator, Expedia and other 3rd party booking booking systems, you basically lose all the personal connection with the supplier or tour operator… “Whom ever that may be” because you don’t even really know? There is a huge disconnect from the guest and the company you are actually going on tour with… is it fast food or fine dining? The 3rd party booking agents like this are basically just big business corporations reaping the benefits or $$$ from the hard work of smaller businesses. While charging 20-25% for taking the reservation you basically receive terrible customer service in return, if there is any customer service at all…. Sea to Summit’s clients deserve better, because in the end its not good for the client “You”, or the supplier “Sea to Summit” ….. Book direct its better for all 🙂 hope to see you soon~

what to bring?
5 things to bring on my Oregon wine tour? Smile & good attitude is always the best way to start any and all of Sea to Summit’s Tours and Adventures! Bring your ID. Oregon’s wineries will need to see your ID if you plan on tasting wine during the Wine Tour. Appropriate clothing and comfortable shoes. Depending on the time of the year, dress appropriate for Oregon’s weather and comfortable shoes as we are headed to the Oregon’s Wine Country and not to a concrete jungle, mall or disco. Appetite, Sea to Summit will discuss lunch options during the wine tour. From gourmet delis, local bistros or Picnics for Private groups, either way you will have some delicious food on your Oregon wine tour adventure! Camera, Oregon’s wine country is very scenic during all times of year and we surely want you to capture the special moments of you and your friends having fun on your day in Oregon’s Wine Country 🙂
Do you have limos?
Sorry, no limos here….. We are experienced, knowledgeable and laid back native Oregonians and our guides will provide a great experience in Oregon’s wine country. While limos are great for weddings and maybe proms, they are not ideal for Oregon’s Wine Country or any other of our tours for that matter. Having a stretched car doesn’t make sense on dirt wine country roads or make the wines taste any better during a Oregon wine tour. Sea to Summit’s tour vehicles have forward facing seats and are more comfortable especially when drinking wine and have large windows so you can view the beautiful Oregon wine county scenery during the tour. Furthermore, some Oregon “off the beaten path”wineries don’t even allow limos. Some winery access roads can be to difficult or impossible to get to as the roads are too steep and precarious and they just are not practical.
Do what with the water?
What do I do with the water on Oregon Wine Tours? Drink the water, Don’t rinse out your wine glass with it! Most wineries have water on the counter to keep you hydrated. Water is destructive to wine and shouldn’t be used to rinse your glass between wine tastes. Water dilutes the wine and alters the chemistry, so if you must rinse your glass between tastes on the tour it is much better to rinse with wine than water. Tasting rooms present the wine from lightest to heaviest, so as long as you follow the recommended order, you will never have to worry about cleaning your glass out. But feel free to drink water whenever you want, please stay hydrated it will be a better experience if you stay hydrated during a Oregon Wine County Tour. We will also have plenty of bottled water for you in Sea to Summit’s vehicle as well during the tour.
How to taste wine?
What is the best way to taste wine on a Oregon Wine Tour? There is no wrong way to enjoy wine on one of our Oregon Wine Tours! That being said, many people can get a lot more from the glass by taking a few moments to stop and smell the vino. Stick your nose in and breathe deeply, you might be surprised at the variety of aromas that a well crafted glass of wine (Oregon Pinot Noir) will release. Swish the wine around in your mouth, stimulate the entire palate. The more you think about and talk about the flavors, the easier it gets to describe them…. Enjoy!
Winery tasting fees?
How much are wine tasting fees at Oregon Wineries? Generally tasting fees are between $10-20 for a flight of wine at each Willamette Valley Winery. But don’t worry, if you join a public Oregon wine tour with Sea to Summit Tours & Adventures we include the tasting fees and take care of everything during the day.
Visit which wineries?
How do we select the wineries on the Oregon Wine Tour? Sea to Summit is very familiar with dozens of the Willamette Valley and Hood River Wineries. Depending on the day of the week and winery availability, Sea to Summit creates a tour itinerary that visits wineries with great wines, outstanding hospitality and incredible scenery….. all key components to a fantastic Oregon Wine Tour! For Private Wine Tours, Sea to Summit is always happy to cater to a groups interest and individuality, in other words we will discuss all options to make your Oregon wine tour experience perfect, just for you!
Wine Tour Pickup?
Where will you pick us up before our Oregon Wine tour? PUBLIC WINE TOURS – Sea to Summit will pick you up from your downtown Portland hotel whenever possible prior to the Oregon wine tour. For wine tour clients whom are not staying in downtown Portland we will ask for you to meet us at centrally located Pioneer Square (corner of Broadway & Morrison in front of Starbucks, on the Max line) When making your online reservation you will be asked which option works best for you? PRIVATE WINE TOURS – Sea to Summit will pick up anywhere in the centrally located Portland metro area, house, hotel, office etc….. However some suburbs outside city limits may have a surcharge added, but all this will be discussed when making you Oregon wine tour reservation.
Shipping Oregon wine home?
How do I get wine home after the Oregon Wine Tour? Some states prohibit wine shipments, but don’t worry you can pack your Oregon wine tour purchases in specially padded “wine shipper” boxes, which check like luggage on the plane. Otherwise the boxes are the same wine shipper boxes that can be sent via UPS. Sea to Summit will discuss all these options during your Oregon wine tour and find a solution that best works for you. Wine boxes generally come in 6, and 12 bottles and are available at the Oregon wineries during the tour.
Can we buy wine?
Can we purchase wine while in Oregon’s wine country? Oh yes and we always recommend taking some of our would famous wines home with you. While you may of heard of some of our Oregon wineries prior to your trip, many of the vintages and wines you will taste can only be purchased in Oregon and a few solely at the wineries themselves.
How many wineries?
How many wineries do we typically visit? During a Sea to Summit tour we typically visit 3-4 wineries on our public Oregon Wine Tours. Private wine tour groups can vary as we always try cater to the individuality and interests of each group. Sea to Summit will discuss all of your Oregon wine tour options when you make your tour reservation.
Meals included?

What is included during an Oregon Wine Country Tour? Public Wine Tours include all the wine tasting fees during the tour! Sea to Summit arranges the days itinerary makes all the necessary winery reservations informative historically and geographically door to door transportation for the wine tour bottled water during the tour basically everything for the day, while you just relax and enjoy!
Price for Wine Tours?
How much is a Sea to Summit, Oregon Winery Tour? Public Wine Tours: Starting in Downtown Portland are $125 per person and include the tasting fees during the day! Private Tours: Often vary by group size and depend on the wineries you choose to visit during the tour. Sea to Summit can also arrange everything including a great itinerary, necessary winery reservations and tasting fees. This option is generally the easiest and most economical for everyone involved as Sea to Summit has had 15 years experience in Oregon wine Country and can plan a spectacular care free day for you!
Why a Oregon Wine Tour?
Should I take a Oregon wine tour or can I drive myself? Chances are you will taste more wines than you expected at Oregon’s wineries and those little tastes add up! Not only that, but if you’re not used to drinking wine early in the day it could catch up with you fast and there is lots of driving involved during the day on a Oregon wine tour. Just let Sea to Summit Tours & Adventures take care of everything and leave your troubles behind!
