  We have just completed two day-long wine tours with a group of six people one day, and five the next and everyone commented on what a great time they had.... read more Kevin is very professional and truly knows his stuff. What was particularly useful was his way of sharing information in a way that recognized our group had varying degrees of knowledge and interest about OR wines, the history of the OR winemaking industry, and the process (and styles) that many of the winemakers use. Given a good grounding on alleges topics, Kevin then reinforced his points with well-targeted visits to the wineries he selected. His selections were spot-on for what we were interested in -- small- to mid-sized wineries with award winning Pinot Noirs and winemakers with interesting approaches and philosophies of wine making. Kevin seems to have excellent relationships with a number of owners/winemakers in the area, which became obvious both in their interactions with him and the amount of time they were willing to spend with us -- especially during the harvest. He would then reinforce some of his key points after each visit, giving us an excellent cross-section of knowledge by the end of each day. Knowledge aside, Kevin is a friendly and personable guy, making it fun to spend time with him. I highly recommend Kevin. We will certainly use him again!

  Kevin picked us up at the B&B to take us South to the Umpqua Valley (Roseburg area) for our wine tour for the whole day. I learned more about... read more Tannins (light to moderate cottonmouth), Native Yeast, and Cultured Yeast than I think I ever wanted to know about but it was most appreciated. My wife is not really a white wine drinker but Kevin got her to like Riesling's and she will have some the next time she has Thai food. Kevin provided a food platter for lunch so we could picnic and explained how to pair different sausages, cheeses, vegetables to different varietals of wine. What a difference a food item can have on taste. He also saved himself from losing a star due to the fact that he did not include mushrooms on the food platter. At three of the four wineries, we got to meet with the winemaker which made the experience even better and learn about the passion of their work. Never had that experience in Napa or Sonoma CA before. I am going to keep the vineyard names that we went to myself so if you ever go you will be surprised by the wines and the views. He even recommended a couple of wineries outside of Salem, which one was outstanding as well. These wines were as good if not better than CA wines I have had in the past. In conclusion, if you really want to learn about wines and have a really enjoyable experience with someone who is personable and gracious, book a tour with Kevin. You will not be disappointed.

  I needed to come up with a unique birthday present for my wife and I hit a grand slam with Vine2Wine. My wife and I spent the afternoon together wine... read more tasting in The Willamette Valley and it was a blast. We were expertly guided and entertained by Kevin who knows more about wine and the vineyards than anyone i've ever met. The tour took us to 4 vineyards and in between Kevin provided fabulous apppetizer/snacks for us. We didn't have to think of or do anything. It was complete and perfect from start to finish. At the price they charge for this kind of high-quality private experience, it's the "Deal of the Century." I highly recommend it.

  We were a party of four from out of state on our first visit to Oregon. We were very interested in experiencing the wines from the Eugene area as... read more we do not have an opportunity to get many Oregon wines in Pennsylvania. Unfortunately, we only had time to do the half day tour with Kevin. Kevin was very thorough in asking questions in advance to determine what we were looking for in a tour. We wanted to focus on small boutique wineries that highlighted what the area was known for. Kevin promptly picked us up from our B&B and took us to three area wineries. We stopped at Capitello, Brigadoon and Tyee. All very intimate experiences where we with met with each of the wine makers for a private tasting session and great conversations about the wines. We had a nice lunch at Tyee that Kevin prepared. Next time we are in the area, we would definitely book another tour with Kevin to explore some of the other wine areas around Eugene.
