Excellent day in the Willamette Valley with Carmine as our wonderful host. He is extremely knowledgeable and goes out of his way to ensure you have the best experience possible. We appreciated all of the little extra ways he made sure our wine tasting experience was the best. Four excellent wineries, a delicious lunch, and added personal touches from him for food pairings (fig bars, chocolate, pears) was a special treat. I highly recommend Carmine and this experience.

We recently enjoyed a wine tour with Carmine. Despite a hiccup in our plans due to a power outage, he was agile and quickly adapted. His knowledge and network paid off and our day was amazing.
His enthusiasm and passion for wine was contagious! My goal for the tour was to have fun and learn about Oregon’s wine and he delivered above and beyond. As a novice Oregon wine connoisseur, I appreciated his ability to break down complex wine concepts into digestible, enjoyable insights.
He was very communicative and listed to my wishes. I had a couple of wineries mind but appreciated his suggestions to visit smaller wineries and learn something new. If you're looking for an unforgettable wine tour that combines fun with valuable insights, I wholeheartedly recommend this tour.

Great day orchestrated by Carmine. We went to some beautiful vineyards, which felt off the beat and path and had a wonderful local flair. Carmen was quick to share his extensive knowledge with us and picked some terrific wineries to visit. He went above and beyond when we told him last minute it was one of our groups birthday and helped get us a birthday dessert for lunch. Before we arrived, Carmen reached out to make sure he was tailoring the trip to our desires and even gently nudged us to be open minded about Oregon Chardonnay. Glad to say we needed his advice because they were some of our favorite wines. Highly recommend this tour! It was a great day with tons of amazing wines.

Today Carmine took us on a perfect day of wine tasting in the Willamette Valley. We went to 4 wineries, selected by us, including one where we had a delicious lunch and talked with the winemaker. We will do this again the next time we come for a visit!
Response from Host, Feb 2024
Thank you for your review, & it will be great to host you again with a completely different (and excellent) itinerary!

Amazing 2 days exploring Oregon wines! Carmine is a wealth of knowledge on wine making and friends with many of the winemakers we visited, thus creating a relaxed wine tasting atmosphere. We greatly enjoyed being in OR during crush and speaking with the owners and winemakers. Carmine goes out of his way to ensure a memorable tour. Highly Recommend!
Response from Host, Feb 2024

-'Crush' is my favorite time to visit small craft wineries.

Touring the wineries and tasting the wines was fabulous! We really enjoyed that part, but we could not stand our tour guide/driver. He was very full of himself and opinionated. And he never shut up!! We could not wait to get away from this obnoxious “know it all”.
Response from Host, Sep 2023
I am glad you greatly enjoyed the wineries chosen!
Very surprising review Jean...as your husband continually asked and indicated throughout the entire day that he wished in-depth information on the area, which I provided. -So, I spent my energy/time to help him with that information for your experience & enjoyment exclusively.
As decorated an ex-military veteran -I ALWAYS respond to every order or directive, so something along the line of 'less input please' should have been communicated by you or your husband.
& You had my complete attention.
It is incredibly easy to say/share nothing as a "Driver" does.
*You and your husband hired a PRIVATE CUSTOMIZED elite wine tour known as "Oregon Winemaker Tours" not a standard driver. & I do have 35 years of top wine professionalism in the Pacific NW and 4 formal college degrees in wine. I deeply apologize if it came out wrong for you!!
I wish you the best of luck and Cheers! Carmine

If you're looking for a full service experience touring Oregon's wine country, then this is the best I could imagine. Carmine was a wonderful guide... provided incredible access to the wineries we visited... and gave us great advice throughout the amazing day! It's well worth the cost!!
Response from Host, Sep 2023
Thank you for the review, as I am always trying to share and give as much information as you may wish or desire.
Cheers!

We had the BEST time visiting wineries with Carmine. We gave him our preferences and he chose the locations, all of which we loved. Being new to the area, we learned so much about the history of wine making in Willamette from Carmine that provided context & made our day even more special. He provided clean & comfortable door-to-door transportation, set up the appointments, and kept us on time. We highly recommend his service to anyone looking for a relaxing day sipping wine and soaking up the beauty of the Valley.
Response from Host, Nov 2022
Perfect! I love attempting to find the best customized set of locations for visiting that will match what you and yours hope to find!
As Always :) Cheers! Carmine

Carmine is seriously serious about wine. As a vintner himself, he understands the ins and outs of wine making. This tour was by far the most educational wine tour I’ve ever been on. The wineries that he chose were each unique and wonderful. The wines each had their own character. I would highly recommend Carmine to anyone interested in learning about and trying the varying wines and styles of Willamette Valley!
Response from Host, Nov 2022
Wonderful and seriously great to meet and host you all!
As always :) Cheers! Carmine

Carmine was a fabulous guide! His knowledge and insight for grape viticulture and wine making in general and his extensive knowledge of Oregon wine making in particular made for an awesome educational and fun day!! I totally recommend him - from the experienced wine connoisseur to the beginner!! Definitely one of the best experiences my wife and I have had!!
Response from Host, Nov 2022

We had an awesome day. Carmine was very flexible in how we wanted to spend the day. We left it to his judgement based on our preferences and had a great experience. He shared a tremendous amount of knowledge about the wines, vineyards and region in an entertaining and easy going way and made us feel comfortable throughout. We would recommend to both novice and experienced wine lovers alike.
