Last December, I booked a tour with Fred for a friend's birthday. Since Fred was busy, he set us up with his wife, Marie. She planned the most awesome day for us. The wineries, the scenery, her wonderful personality, the great relationships she obviously has with the wine makers, her knowledge of the area - it was more than I... More

In October, my wife and I took a Willamette Valley wine tour with A Nose For Wine. The tour far exceeded our expectations! Our guide, Marie, was great! She was courteous, knowledgeable, professional, fun and very accommodating. We were provided with a number of snacks throughout the day and Marie brought us to a couple boutique wineries that not open... More

This was my soon to be sister in-laws and my first wine tour. Our tour was provided by Marie, who is very knowledgeable about wines and the Willamette Valley area and made the whole experience captivating.

Our wine tour was facilitated by the lovely Marie from A Nose for Wine and she did not disappoint. Not only was it a fabulous tour of wine, but the Oregon Williamette Valley as well!

We chose "A nose for wine" and as Fred was busy, his wife Marie took us to see the sights in Willamette valley. We were not only interested in wine tasting, but also to enjoy other attractions in Willamette valley, and Marie picked that up instantly and made an excellent tour for us! We did olive oil tasting, jam tasting,... More

We wanted to learn but mostly we wanted to have fun, eat some snacks and sample some fabulous wine. He accomplished all that and more. The food trays he brought... More

This was the best of many excursions we took in Oregon and Washington! Fred is such a great guy, and he treated us like long lost relatives. His knowledge of the wineries and the wines themselves made for a fabulous tour. He tailored the tour to our specific taste in wines, and the snacks he provided were lovely. Do yourself... More

We were fortunate to stumble upon " A Nose for Wine" private tour company before our trip to Willamette. Fred Gunton made the experience exceptional. He took my list of wineries and our time schedule and crafted a great half day tour. He recommended some places we would have never discovered on our own. We were met at our hotel... More

Seriously, I'm a native Oregonian but hadn't toured the Oregon wine country. Fred at A Nose For Wine was recommended by the Allison Inn (another fabulous must-do!) and four of us spent a Saturday with Fred Gunton who showed us the best of the best. He was knowledgeable beyond belief, knows EVERYONE in the industry (and was even the technical... More
