Eugene Travel Guides (Updated September 2026)

Kevin does an outstanding job in creating the perfect winery tour experience! He promptly picked us up from our hotel and we traveled in comfort all day to four wineries. While all of the establishments offered nice tastings, we also enjoyed the unique beauty of each location. Kevin is very knowledgeable about the wine production process and the distinct differences of the grapes. He opened our minds about food and wine pairings, so the impact of this tour will continue in the future. We have been on many wine tours over the years but the personalization of this one made it very special. My husband and I highly recommend it.

Kevin is very knowledgeable about the area and wine making process. We had a great day visiting 4 wineries and sampling a good variety of wine. Having booked something similar to this, I was a little disappointed that for the price of this tour, there wasn't a more vip experience. While the winemakers knew Kevin, and treated us well, there was some awkward standing and waiting at some of the stops, like they weren't prearranged, scheduled stops. For the price of this tour I was anticipating high end VIP experience. It was a good experience, and I would recommend it, but having just booked a very similar experience a few months ago in McMinnville area for lower cost, this felt less VIP and was significantly more expensive.

We had a great time, it was fun. My friend and I plan on doing again. The kids also had a great time but got tired so we weren’t able to finish.

Took the Pacific Coast Highway from Florence to Seaside along the OREGON COAST……the views were Breathtaking and we made several stops along the way….we stayed overnight in Florence and in Seaside…..although we traveled in late July it got quite cold at nights especially in Florence….highs averaged in the mid 60’s and it was very windy

I feel like an insider here, having attended the University of Oregon for my undergrad years, going so far as to take a class called "Walk on the Oregon Coast" while at college. From that I fell in love with a little town called Bandon by the Sea, which is as quaint and lovely as the name implies. The class had such an impact on me that I spent every weekend I could driving out and camping along the coast, reading War & Peace while in a tent being pelted by rain, exploring lighthouses, stopping at Mo's for chowder and merrionberry pie (yum). But the best part of all was simply being able to unwind, slowing down to the pace of the ocean, feeling the Pacific against my shoulder. Time stands still here, to borrow the words of Neil Peart (RIP), the legendary drummer from Rush. Wherever I am in the world, I remember the Oregon Coast as the place I most feel human again. Like wearing a pair of faded bluejeans or a baggy knit sweater -- it's how I restore my sense of sanity..

From pick up to drop off everything went smoothly. Kevin was able to answer all our questions and show us a wonderful afternoon.

My girlfriend and I had an incredible experience with Kevin. We did the Umpqua Valley tour and got to see some gorgeous wineries. The wine was fantastic, the scenery was gorgeous, the people were friendly and approachable, and Kevin was so personable and a knowledgeable host!

My husband and I have driven the route frequently and enjoy the fabulous views each time. The road winds upward out of Florence with many curves and and views of the sea along the way. There are numerous pullouts and viewpoints where you can get off the highway. Also a number of short drives down to the ocean. It can be a bit slow in summer when lots of tourists are traveling. Normal travel time to Newport is a bit more than an hour. We urge you to make stops to view the beautiful coast line. The ocean is different each time we go as the season changes. We have traveled this route (and the return many times. Some small construction areas involved, but the wait time is generally quite short. We have traveled in many different months. For the question below, we just named one of the many months we have traveled this route.

Jay did a wonderful job he was very personable and knowledgeable thx andy_____ ybfduoeahrfiyervbkuseybkvdkbrkvrsdbvhrbkufh

Kevin gave us a wonderful half day southern Willamette wine tour on my birthday. First time wine tasting for my 26 year old son. Kevin was knowledgeable from the science of wine making and gave us an excellent "wine 101" explanation. He also has great relationships with each vineyard we visited, Walnut Creek, Brigadoon, and Broadly. Amazing views from the Walnut Creek and Brigadoon. Excellent wine from all! He was helping in also giving us recommendations on dining and the area.

We had an amazing experience with Kevin as our guide. He was kind, knowledgeable, and a great conversationalist. On the way to the first winery, he gave us a fantastic ‘Wine 101,’ and throughout the day, he shared detailed insights about each wine we tasted. We also chatted about sports and personal interests, which made the experience feel even more personalized.Because of Kevin’s connections with the owners and staff at each winery elevated our tasting experience. It was clear that we were getting a more exclusive and tailored visit compared to going on our own. We highly recommend and will definitely reach out to him again the next time we’re back for more wine tours!

Kevin was fantastic. Super knowledgeable, friendly and easygoing. We went to four fantastic wineries and were able to enjoy the wine and the scenery at each one. He REALLY knows the area and makes it feel special. We did Eola-Amity area and it was a joy. Can’t recommend this tour enough.

Great for business- fun. Very flexible. Very happy with the flexibility and knowledge of the vineyards!

Kevin planned an amazing day from start to finish. We visited 3 wineries in the Eugene area and it was absolutely perfect. Our lunch in a private gazebo overlooking the McBeth vineyard was the highlight of our weekend. Thank you!

What an amazing day! Levi was knowledgeable, kind, courteous, and an all around nice guy. We celebrated mother’s day weekend with this great private tour & tasting at three wineries. Beautiful drive excellent wine and a lovely charcuterie lunch! Perfect day - thank you Kevin!

Kevin was prompt, friendly and very knowledgeable. We started at Territorial Vineyards and Wine Company with a lesson on wine making and tasting. We then headed to Capitello wines for a comparison tasting of Oregon and New Zealand reds followed by a wonderful spread of bread, meats and cheese. Kevin then took us to Brigadoon Winery for more tasting Pinot Blanc and Pinot Noir. We ended our tour at Silvan Ridge Winery tasting again a few more Pinot Noir and Malbec and Super Rioja. I would definitely recommend Kevin for his touring of the Eugene area wineries. Our group of friends enjoyed the beautiful day and and Kevin’s company and wealth of knowledge.
