An easy stop while visiting wine country. November 2, 2022, was the 75th anniversary of the only flight of the “Spruce Goose,” the wooden aircraft with a 320-foot wingspan made famous — or infamous — by Howard Hughes. The “flying boat” is now housed here in Oregon, at the Evergreen Aviation and Space Museum in McMinnville, and is definitely worth a visit. Put your tray tables up and return your seatbacks to their full and upright positions...

The Silent Monks of the Trappist Abbey would like to invite you to a My Chauffeur winery tour... We will check out the Abbey forest hike.

Patio's, fire pits, 2 for 1 tastings.

What Sets Us Apart?
We offer a combination of AI, personal guide and AV narration, for a fully guided experience on all our full-service tours (Silver-amateur. Gold-connoisseur, and Diamond-haute couture). It's all accentuated by a variety of group-chosen podcasts**, tailored to your taste, which adds interest to the tour. Also, a big, roomy, luxury vehicle adds additional comfort for everyone. And our drivers are ALL CDL licensed. 25 years of Portland tours experience means we've thought of everything.
Finally, when you order from us, we do not offer some kind of cookie cutter approach. We take everything you say into consideration, and spend a lot of time at it, to come up with our best itinerary. It may or may not be perfect, but it's our very best...We will do, or will already have done, the research, research, research...for the very best tour.
"When no one else can do it, or if you want the tour done right, even our competitors say, "Call My Chauffeur".
These are some of the things that set us apart."

** Examples of podcasts include: Tiny, lonely Newberg orphan grew up to be President, and, Local boy saves millions from starving, becomes president; The Great Floods of 1894 & 1861. People just raised the sidewalks; And some about the wine, including: Cranberries & Dirt (25 minutes) - In this episode, we discuss Pinot Noir from Willamette Valley, Oregon; Wine Story (34 minutes.) - Sommeliers discuss several wines from the Willamette Valley; Welcome to the Willamette Valley - (9 minutes.); Oregon Wine Country - Decoding the Grape (41 minutes.); How to look cool while tasting wine (34 minutes.); Wine is approachable like beer (20 minutes.); Columbia R Gorge A-V-A - (14 minutes.), including Maryhill and Cathedral Ridge; Several podcasts feature interviews with select winemakers, including from; Youngberg Hill, Alloro and Lenne; V is for Viognier (16 minutes.); and the Columbia Valley in Washington (21 minutes.); plus many others.

The Pinot noir grape, known also as Vitis vinifera, is well known for having a variety of clones. It was first mentioned in 1370 under the name Noirien, but it was believed to have been cultivated earlier than that, since no other grape variety associated with Medieval Burgundy, is believed to have been able to produce red wines of a quality, able to impress the papal court.
The secret is out! The noses are aromatic, subtle and elegant, with tones of peach, apple, berries and tropical fruit, with flowery bouquets. The taste is savory and mineral. The tannins are soft flanked by beautiful acid; a perfect balance. The texture is silky smooth and velvety, which sets it apart from any other spot in the America's. And yes, these are dry wines through and through. Don't let the mention of Riesling turn you off.
Are they intensely aromatic? Are they fruit forward? Yes and yes. Are they sweet? Emphatically, NO.
The Willamette Valley is more Burgundian than American, more butter than olive oil, more pretzels than focaccia, and more mountain than plains. This area is off-the-chain gorgeous.
Once you exit the route at Sherwood, you begin a slow crawl up the mountainside through 1-horse villages, past sheep and llamas beginning to graze the first green grass of an early Spring, and onward to the very end of the very last road to the small hamlets of Forest Grove, Carlton, Amity and Gaston. Here is where you'll meet brothers Philippe and Francesco or Pierre-Henry, at 100 meters above sea level, and in one of the most peaceful places you have ever been.
The 5-10 acre farms, called Estates, are wonders. The grape varietal and steep grades forces most work to be done by hand, plant by plant, cluster by cluster. It's hard work, but the results are unique and wonderful. Over half of the vineyards are planted to Pinot noir, and the two white grapes are, Chardonnay and Pinot gris. There's many other varietals. But this Pinot noir, the best and most unique of them all...
To order your tour/EVENT, please reply here with your request and I'll confirm with you ASAP. I expect a Good Time will be had by all, during these holidays and beyond.
Cheers!
Phil
