  Kevin was prompt, friendly and very knowledgeable. We started at Territorial Vineyards and Wine Company with a lesson on wine making and tasting.

Kevin then took us to Brigadoon Winery for more tasting Pinot Blanc and Pinot Noir. We ended our tour at Silvan Ridge Winery tasting again a few more Pinot Noir and Malbec and Super Rioja.

  As a complete novice to the world of wine, I was a little apprehensive about what to expect (this was a birthday gift from my family after I recently relocated... read more to the area). Within 15 minutes of meeting Kevin it was clear I was going to have an enjoyable day. He is personable, without pretension, and has you at ease in his company quickly. While it was clear he was knowledgeable enough to entertain any wine enthusiast expert, Kevin graciously accommodated our entry-level bewilderment and I walked away from the day with a new appreciation for the complex, challenging, and passionate operation that goes into a wine. We went to 4 wineries in the Eola-Amity Hills with sweeping views and a gorgeous landscape that will have you fantasizing about retiring to such a serene place. Kevin provided a picnic lunch that was perfect delicious fare complimenting the surroundings. The wine owners and wine makers were clearly ardent in their love for making their wines and unparalleled in their hospitality. There is something to discover for connoisseurs and amateurs alike, and as I have family and friends visit I will certainly add it to my list of must-experience activities in Eugene.

  I received the wine tasting tour as a gift and was given the option of choosing northern or southern wineries. As I am somewhat familiar with the northern wine country... read more the southern tour was the obvious choice. From the moment Kevin picked us up at my home his enthusiasm and knowledge of wines and the history of Oregon wine making was apparent.The four wineries he selected were very different but with unique qualities that gave insight into how varied the approach to winemaking can be. It was a day spent with great wines, food and people in some of the most beautiful country in Oregon. I highly recommend Kevin to anyone interested in getting to know more about Oregon wines whether you are a novice or enthusiast.

  We did a 1/2 Day tour with Kevin and loved every minute of it! The tour was informative, interesting and really fun! Kevin is a great tour guide and... read more knows his wine. We met wine makers and tasted some delicious wine, then enjoyed a wonderful lunch that Kevin prepared. The countryside is gorgeous and the wineries he chose to share with us were top notch. We'll definitely go again on our next visit... For the full day next time! (Look out, Kevin! ;).

  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.
