Best wine tour we have ever taken. Dan is simply terrific - knowledgeable, engaging, and well-respected across the Valley. We had a wonderful day, with extended stops at three excellent wineries along with a yummy lunch. Transportation was very comfortable - and allowed for outstanding views of the lovely Valley. Dan ensures you learn about the area, the vineyards, the families, and their distinctive approaches to winemaking. The Valley, best known for its Pinot Noir, produces many outstanding wines. The region is growing and gaining more recognition, but still retains a “youthful” charm, energy and enthusiasm. All tasting fees, snacks and lunch are included, so the tour is really a great package. Plus, Dan takes photos - and sends them to you at the end of the day. One of the many nice touches! This tour is absolutely the best way to experience the Willamette Valley. We highly recommend it - and we look forward to touring again with Dan.
A group of locals to the Portland area book a wine trip, hoping to just not have to drive themselves. Instead....we get DAN!!! What an awesome and informative wine tour. We learned so much, and had so much fun. Dan is truly dedicated to the wines of the region, as well as customer service. We all noticed that he was able to read the group so well, and let us pause our learning for friendship babbling at times. He also took pictures that we absolutely love! I can't say enough nice things about this company. We will be booking again and again. This is 100% worth your time when visiting the PNW!
My dear friend and I chose Triangle Wine Country Tours based on the wonderful reviews we saw on line...and wow! We’re so very glad that we did!! Dan was simply amazing. Not only did we enjoy the unique vineyards he took us to visit...within moments of being with Dan we knew we had made a new and very dear friend! Dans knowledge if wine and this region’s fabulous offerings blew us away...his gift is his unique ability to make you comfortable while teaching you about wine and why we like what we like! I can not recommend him highly enough...we will definitely book another tour the next time we’re in Portland! Thanks Dan! We miss you - and toast you with every bottle we open!
My husband and I had a fantastic day exploring the wine region with Dan and two other couples. Dan is a charming, friendly and super informative guide and host. We visited three fantastic vineyards, enjoyed a delicious lunch and gained some wonderful insights into wine...that I'll actually remember! I now have the perfect script (thanks to Dan) when at the wine store and needing help to identify a wine that I will like. We purchased several bottles on our tour and Dan kindly arranged to get them to our home in NYC safely. We highly recommend Dan and Triangle Wine Country Tours if you appreciate wine, want to explore a fascinating and growing wine region and hang out with fun people!
