Wine Country Thanksgiving 2009

Make Thanksgiving a holiday to be thankful for by celebrating the best of Oregon Wine Country this Thanksgiving weekend.  On November 27, 28, and 29, wineries large and small will be welcoming everyone to enjoy their creations. 

The tasting experiences that will be offered are much different than what would normally be expected.  Winemakers and owners make an appearance to celebrate the end of Harvest and to personally greet their guests.  Many wineries offer exclusive tastings, elaborate tours, food pairings and live music.

Memorial Day Wrap-Up

For those that attended our Memorial Day Weekend wine tour, and those who booked personal tours, we thank you and hope you enjoyed your excursion to Oregon’s wine country.  Premiere Tours visited Dobbes Family Estate, J.K. Carriere, Styring, and others during the course of the weekend, and we are glad to have participated in one of Oregon’s wine country’s largest weeekend events.

Some ideas for next year for those of you that wanted to attend, but missed this years’ tours:

-Whenever possible, book well in advance. This allows time for communication with our staff, drivers, wineries, etc., and will make your wine tour that much better!

-If you do have a last minute inquiry outside of our M-F 10:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. office hours, call our company cell phone instead. This number is available upon request.

-If you already have a group of 6 or more, be sure to consider booking a private tour in advance.

-Be thinking about 2010’s Memorial Day plans, and join Premiere Tours for a weekend in wine country!
