About Us - Why Take Us?
Since 1998. At My Chauffeur we're looking forward to our 21st vintage as a commercial wine tour company.
We've been doing this for a while...Here's some reasons to take us:

• The true hidden gems. Anyone can locate the big places. Even an autonomous vehicle could find the wine factories with the big marketing budgets. Bringing your visitors to the under the radar wineries is the value we add, our special, local insight with decades of experience. We don't have big signs on our vehicles. There is no big signs on our shirts. My Chauffeur is a true insider's discovery. Most folks won't find us on their own.
• More time tasting, less time riding. I once went deep sea fishing on a charter boat. The captain spent all day motoring from one spot to another, never staying long enough to catch much or enjoy themselves. Wine tours can be like that fishing trip. Not with My Chauffeur. With My Chauffeur you'll have plenty to do and see: vineyard tours, enjoying those wineries with great views, chatting with the winemakers/growers, visiting the barrel cave and sampling through many different wines. As an added benefit, guests can learn and enjoy going out into the vineyard while the estate representative discusses vineyard management and harvesting, while tasting multiple vintages from the same vines… a unique specialty at some estates. Whenever possible, the tour is led by the cellar master, enologist, or owner of the estate. Folks stay longer. Recently, tasters from The Vintage Plaza told us, "We've been visiting Oregon wineries for three days, this is what we've been looking for the whole time."
• Old school Oregon. Our visitors regularly worry that Oregon may become the next Napa Valley with exorbitant fees, multiple tasting bars and crowded with dozens of tour buses and emphasizing merchandise sales. The Willamette Valley is not Napa. Since many of our tastings are by appointment at the true hidden gems, they offer each guest special attention--Just a solid and steady focus on making and serving exceptional wines.​

Thanks again for your friendship and support. We hope to see you and your guests soon with My Chauffeur. You will be in the land of wheat, berries, sunshine & Willamette Valley Pinot!'... more
