Private Willamette Valley Wine Tours
Designed for couples and groups who want to experience Oregon wine country together
Tailored wine experiences curated by founders, Helen and Mark, who live, breathe, and love Oregon wine
Welcome to Cellar Door Wine Tours. First and foremost, your perfect day in Oregon wine country is our absolute top priority.
We believe your private Willamette Valley wine tour should be completely effortless from start to finish.
That means no navigating unfamiliar country roads, no chasing down hard-to-find reservations, and no worrying about who will be the designated driver.
Instead, we craft a deeply personalized wine tour designed entirely around your tastes, your schedule, and your group.
Because the truth is—a screen can’t taste the nuances of a vintage, and an algorithm can’t understand your specific palate.
And it certainly doesn’t have the personal connections to the region’s most talented, under-the-radar winemakers.
Beyond the Screen: Curated Willamette Valley Wine Tours
We know it has never been easier to pull up a map and explore tasting rooms online.
However, that surface-level research can only take your experience so far.
With nearly 40 years of local relationships, we offer far more than just a ride—we provide a true key to the Valley.
Exclusive Vineyard Access & Effortless Concierge Service
From exclusive, behind-the-scenes access and private estate tastings to quiet vineyard vistas, these are the moments you won’t find on a travel blog or booking app.
Whether you’re celebrating a milestone or simply sharing a passion for Oregon Pinot Noir, we handle every detail.
From the first pour to the final sunset, your only job is to be present.

Co-Founders: Mark Treick and Helen McFarland
When we founded Cellar Door Wine Tours more than a decade ago, our vision was clear: to create a more personal, elevated way to experience Oregon wine country. We believed a wine tour should feel like far more than a series of tasting appointments. It should feel thoughtfully designed, warmly hosted, and deeply connected to the place itself.
From the beginning, we set out to offer something more immersive than standard transportation. We wanted each day to feel effortless for our guests while also opening the door to the character, beauty, and authenticity that make the Willamette Valley so special. That philosophy continues to guide everything we do.
We understand that a truly luxury experience depends on flawless execution from beginning to end. From the moment you are picked up to your final drop-off, every detail matters.
Timing matters. Comfort matters. The rhythm of the day matters. Our role is to make the experience feel seamless, polished, and easy, so you can stay fully present and enjoy every pour, every conversation, and every vineyard view along the way.
That level of care is at the heart of what we do. It is also what has inspired the trust of so many guests who return to tour with us again and again. We are proud to be known for creating days that feel both refined and relaxed, with the kind of attention that allows guests to settle in and simply enjoy the experience in front of them.
We take pride in handling the logistics behind the scenes so your only job is to relax, connect, and savor the glass in front of you. Whether you are visiting Oregon wine country for the first time or returning with a deeper appreciation for the region, our goal is always the same: to make your day feel personal, meaningful, and exceptionally well cared for.
An Authentic Connection to the Vine
We go far beyond transportation. Our passion lies in creating a genuine connection to the people, the land, and the stories behind Oregon’s most celebrated wines. The Willamette Valley is not just a beautiful place to taste wine. It is a living agricultural region shaped by growers, winemakers, family histories, and a strong sense of place.
That is the experience we want our guests to feel. Not rushed. Not generic. Not removed from the heart of wine country. We believe the most memorable days happen when you are welcomed into the rhythm of the valley itself, when each stop feels intentional, and when the experience reflects the character of Oregon rather than a one-size-fits-all itinerary.
As local insiders, we bring a deeper familiarity with the region and a lasting respect for the people who make it so remarkable. We love sharing not only exceptional wineries, but also the textures, landscapes, and human stories that give Oregon wine its identity. For us, a great wine tour is about more than where you go. It is about how the day feels, what you learn, who you meet, and what stays with you long after the final tasting.
