Since 1998, we are bringing small and large groups on Wine Tours, Retreats & Culinary Escapes to Oregon Wine Country...35 minutes from downtown Portland.
My Chauffeur is a small boutique wine tour company offering the highest level of luxury service and quality in wine and culinary travel. My Chauffeur service is a guided service, with someone in the position of chauffeur, pilot, answerer of questions and general guide/ translator of the oddities of Oregon life and all-round wine country seer. On this escorted tour, you will reach unknown corners and secret locations which only someone with local knowledge and extensive wine country experience could find. We are a small boutique tour company offering the highest level of luxury wine tour and culinary travel. Our primary goal is to provide a private, relaxing, luxurious, and authentic tour experience. Our executive-class service offers a roomy, deluxe, air conditioned party bus, limousine or town car...
As wine educators, we try to make our programs educational while keeping the atmosphere light and fun. Our primary goal is to make the world of Oregon wine and cuisine accessible, understandable and enjoyable for our guests, while providing a private, relaxing, luxurious, and authentic experience of traveling in Oregon. And we mean REAL luxury. Only the finest cuisine and the best estates we will visit if you wish. And a roomy, deluxe, air conditioned limousine stocked with refreshments (not a 9 passenger van for 8 guests and a driver - that's not our idea of luxury or comfort). At all the estates we visit, you'll receive a warm welcome and a personalized tasting. In some cases, you will tour the technical facilities (vat room and aging cellars) in addition to your tasting. Many times, we go out into the vineyard and the estate representative will discuss vineyard management and harvesting, tasting multiple vintages from the same vines…a unique specialty. Whenever possible, the tour is led by the cellar master, enologist, or owner of the estate. Our guests often marvel at how unique each estate visit is. At one estate, you might see an ancient wine brotherhood display; at another, there will be beautiful gardens and valley views; at a third, a special art exhibit. The tasting can be extensive and can include barrel samples* of the latest vintage and/or bottles of recent or older vintages. We sometimes taste in the aging cellar, sometimes in the winery itself, and other times outdoors. The estate representative will lead you through the tasting, helping you identify aromas, tastes and overall quality. You may even choose your type of tour guide if desired. We will pick you up and drop you off at your residence or hotel. We'll include 3-6 wineries and/or vineyards, a lovely lunch if desired, and a visit to a local sight of interest if you wish - your day will be customized to include exactly what you want.
