  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.

  Once again, Kevin did not disappoint. Not only did he not disappoint - he exceeded expectations! This was our second trip with Kevin, the first having been a... read more trip south to the Umpqua Valley. This time - a full day excursion from Eugene to the Eola-Amity Hills Sub-AVA just west of Salem. We visited Walter Scott, Bethel Heights, and Bryn Mawr and finished off with a sneak peek at Lingua Franca, which hasn't really even opened its doors yet! Kevin is so knowledgeable about the wineries and wines, and the winemakers welcome his visits. You cannot go wrong with an Oregon Vine2Wine tour. It is so worth the investment - and you come back with more wine smarts than you had when you started out! We will definitely do it 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. …
