Willamette Valley Wine Essentials Class

“Willamette Valley Wine Essentials” is the first and only wine education program designed specifically for visitors to the Willamette Valley wine country! Through my previous experience as a winery tasting room manager and private tour guide, I saw first-hand how education enhances the experience of tasting wine and visiting winery tasting rooms.

This two-hour casual and interactive class provides general education on our region and wines that will give you confidence and a solid foundation on which to formulate questions as you journey through wine country. I welcome visitors with all levels of wine knowledge and experience!

Together, we will cover topics including:

How to Taste Wine – And, yes, we will taste wines from local producers! Brief History of the Willamette Valley Wine Industry Today’s Industry in Perspective Willamette Valley AVAs (American Viticultural Areas) Why all the Pinot Noir? Let’s Get Dirty!

We will also cover practical tips on visiting winery tasting rooms:
