Triangle Wine Country

I learned more about wine and winemaking from Emily, our tour guide, in the six-hour tour than I had from reading about wine over the course of the past 20+ years. I highly recommend this tour. Emily is a fount of knowledge about the wine-making scene in the entire valley.

This was a reunion with two brothers and wives, so wanted to show off the best of Oregon. The six passenger van was very comfortable for riding around in the hills. Dan picked out three very charming but different wineries for us to visit. His knowledge about the individual wineries and the wine industry in general is extensive, but delivered in a very casual and entertaining way. This was our second trip with him, and we will return when we host other visitors. It's a great introduction to Oregon.

It was the perfect day! Highly recommended Triangle Tours. Emily was super friendly, very knowledgeable about EVERYTHING we asked her and took us to three great wineries.

It was a lovely day going to the different vineyards and learning about the unique varietals that grow within the OR region. Our tour guide Julia took wonderful care of us and helped us stay on track, we tend to gab the day away and become distracted! We all have varying taste in types of wine we like to drink and this day allowed us to explore many varities and learn about the different wines OR has to offer. Overall, it's a great day with wonderful wines and we all highly recomend the tour!

We joined a shareable wine tour of Willamette Valley with Triangle Wine Country Tours, as a way to see the wine region while based out of Portland for a short trip. I picked Triangle Wine Tours based on prior great reviews, their small group sizes (6 on our trip), and the fact that your tour guide is a sommelier. I also liked that you could book a package including tasting fees if you wanted- not for everyone but does make pre-planning a bit more streamlined. Our tour guide, Emily, texted me a few days before with a pickup time, and arrived at our hotel promptly and in a comfortable van. She had great insight into the wine (and beer) regions of Willamette Valley and Portland in general. She was easy going and led a great tour, and able to answer any questions we had to ask. We went to 3 great wineries, had beautiful views, and a lovely charcuterie board lunch at one stop. Emily taught us how to taste wine more effectively, and was excited to expand out tasking palettes. She also chose smaller, more intimate wineries and was able to offer insight into their history and wine styles. She was also a whiz at timing the entire trip, and managing the Portland traffic. Overall we had a great day, bought a lot of wonderful wines I might have never found otherwise. We would definitely use Triangle Wine Country Tours next time we come through. She texted out photos she snapped throughout the day which was a nice touch.

Our group of 6 thoroughly enjoyed our day with Dan while visiting 3 boutique wineries. Dan was fun, entertaining and informative and made it so comfortable for all of us. No details were overlooked. The tour included a lovely, relaxing lunch at the second winery outside on the patio with a beautiful view. It was a great way to spend a day with friends in wine country!

We did a trip out to the Willamette Valley with Triangle Country Wine Tours during our brief visit to Portland, tasting at 3 wineries. Our guide, Justina, was fabulous - very knowledgeable, and making the entire experience relaxing, interesting, and fun. We had favourites wines at each of the wineries visited, but really it was the day itself and learning about the Valley in general that left us wanting to visit again in the future!

We absolutely loved our tour with Dan! Going as locals made us appreciate what was in our own backyard. It was wonderful to get a tour of the Willamette Valley wine country and have 3 of the best vineyards hand-picked, since there are so many to choose from. We learned so much about wine, and what makes this area special for growing grapes. The tour has encouraged us to join a local wine club, and do tastings more often, cause we're lucky to be so close to such great wine!

We would rate this tour as 6-stars if we could. We spent a recent Saturday touring / tasting at 3 wineries with Dan. He was informative, interesting, entertaining, and kind - we came away from our guided tour with a great deal more understanding of wines in the Williamette Valley as well as a fun memory from our long weekend in the area. Dan was even kind enough give us incredibly useful tips on a day trip to the Pacific coast we planned for the following day. We appreciated the personal approach Dan provided on the tour. We'd highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to taste some wonderful wine, enjoy the beautiful sights of the valley, and learn from a very knowledgeable guide.

Dan was amazing! He was extremely knowledgeable and entertaining. We learned a lot, not only about different wines but the area as well. Who knew so many hazelnuts and olives were grown in the area. At least we didn’t know. We’re Eastcoasters, Ha! We learned so much that we returned a few days later and joined a wine club. We will definitely return and take his tour again! Happy couple from Atlanta.

Dan, the owner of the company, was our tour guide and personal sommelier. He did a great job selecting three unique, boutique wineries in the beautiful Willamette Valley. Dan was very entertaining and informative -- covering the art and science of wine making, the wine industry and some local tips for Portland. I researched several other tour companies before choosing Triangle Wine Tours and am very glad that this was the one we selected!
