Excellent experience with Jeff as our guide. He was knowledgeable about wines and Oregon history. Went as a girls trip and enjoyed it thoroughly
The Pinot Patrol wine tour was fantastic. Jeff was an excellent tour guide, friendly and knowledgable, he created a relaxed and enjoyable experience. The wineries were fantastic. If you're visiting Portland, I highly recommend this!
A great wine-tasting tour. Jeff was knowledgeable, flexible and took us to interesting vineyards with great wines. He suggested pre-ordering and picking up lunch at the start of the tour - food was great! We then ate this at the second vineyard, outside, enjoying a lovely view. Altogether, we tasted about 15 wines. A great way to experience part of the wine country.
My wife and I hired Jeff to take us out to some wineries in the Willamette Valley and it was a fantastic experience! He was waiting for us downstairs at our hotel promptly at the time we agreed upon, the van was great (clean and comfortable), and he provided a ton of great information about the area not only on our hour-ish ride down but also between all of our stops and on our way back. We mostly picked our own places but given Jeff's extensive knowledge of wine in general and the wineries and winemakers around the Portland/Willamette area I would absolutely trust him to make us a great itinerary if we ever make it back that way. We looked at a few different services and EcoTours ended up being the first and ultimately only one we called, and it was a great decision!
The wine tour was a total blast! Jeff led the tour and he was great; very informative and funny. I appreciate that we went to 3 smaller wineries, they all had amazing wines and great atmosphere! Will definitely be going on more tours as the weather gets nice!
We loved the tour. Jeff was very knowledgeable and helpful. We were able to plan ahead and choose the wineries that we wanted to visit. The Red Hills Deli was perfect for lunch and we loved having everything arranged for us by Jeff. We will definitely be booking another tour soon.
Traveling from NY to Portland, I was unaware of who to tour through- but I do not regret using Eco Tours one bit! I had been recommended by the Visitor Information Center in Pioneer Courthouse Square, to use Jeff, who has wine experience of 25 years! The views were stunning, the wine was great, and it definitely rounded up my trip. Definitely a must do!
If you are visiting the area and want to sample some wineries, you can leave it all to Jeff. He is extremely knowledgeable but not a wine snob at all. Just a super down to earth guy with great customer service. He polled the tour members on what we liked, and there was a good give and take between him steering us to particular vineyards and us letting him know what we were interested in. We did three vineyards and a tasting room, plus another tasting room during our lunch break. Overall, we thought it was a great value for an all-day tour that keeps you from risking the drive yourself !
We just got back from touring four wineries in the Willamette Valley--we would never have been able to find these on our own (only one was located on a main road), and they were all excellent. Jeff chose the perfect restaurant for lunch (and arranged the schedule so we had time for dessert). He also offered a quicker lunch option for those who wanted to do more wine tasting. We're planning on making this an annual tradition.
