About
Hello! I am Niko, a Greek living in Portland, OR. Growing up, I was surrounded by the basics of life: good food, krasi (wine), and family. After many years of traveling through Europe to explore food and wine, I settled in Portland where I have parlayed my love for wine and good conversation into works4wine. I specialize in creating curated experiences for anyone who wants to experience the beauty of Oregon's wine country. Please join me to experience three of the most interesting wineries along with some cheese wine pairings and lunch at a really cool local Cafe.

We are so thrilled we booked a tour with Niko. He took us to three great small wineries that we would have never decided on by ourselves, but they were perfect for us. He also did a cheese pairing for us at one stop that was perfection. Niko was very knowledgeable, gracious, and fun. We had great conversations with him in the car and we loved the winemakers he introduced us to. Thanks for the beautiful day!

This was the best wine tour I’ve ever experienced. Niko gave me a personal call before our tour asking about features most important to our group. He picked the absolute best vineyards with the most amazing wines and the most spectacular views! The tour was incredibly organized and our guide was phenomenal. Thank you so much to Niko, Pamela and Rae for making this day so amazing and special! We will be back!

From start to finish Niko was the perfect tour guild, his passion for his job shines through. Before we arrived in Portland we had a quick phone call with Niko where he determined what vineyards we should visit. We visited 3 delightful vineyards and enjoyed a delicious lunch that we picked up as per Niko's recommendation. Niko has a true passion for wine but most importantly he wants all his clients to have a great experience!

My wife and I booked Niko at the last minute a few days before a holiday weekend and we felt very fortunate to have found and booked him. Niko was very professional, taking our winery preferences into account and figuring out a schedule that would take us to as many as we could fit in. He recommended a great place for lunch as well. We shared wine and travel stories and had a great day overall. Niko strives to make sure you have the best experience possible -- giving us many other winery suggestions for smaller places that can offer a more personable experience. We will use Niko again the next time we are in the area. We would highly recommend Niko for a great day around the valley.

This wine tour was different than others I took in cities outside Oregon: each winery is perfect selected and there is no rush to reach the next place. With a focus on the wine tasting itself and having a great atmosphere, Niko provided excellent background information. Considering this was booked as a regular wine tour, the entire tour was very personalized and relaxed. Thank you for hosting such a great event.

Niko was a great tour guide at each of the three wineries we visited. He drove us place to place with no time to waste. He was pleasant and gracious

We booke this trip less than 24 hours in advance. Nico was an outstanding guide. The Vineyards were lovely and all of the wine was tasty. The tour bus was just the right size, seats 12-13. A great way to spend a half day touring wine country in the Willamette Valley. I should note the nice person on Trip Advisor did make sure we called Hub Tours, the operator of the tour to make sure we would be picked up. Hub might not be the most timely on answering phone messages, so always check your reservation.

Outstanding tour guide. Our 10 passenger bus made stopped at several vistas for pics, Canon Beach and Manzanita- both long enough for food and pics Niko usually does the wine tasting tours and is enthusiastic and energetic. Guaranteed to get your moneys worth and will pick you up at downtown hotel. What a great way to spend the day while on Portland!

We could not have asked for a better experience with Niko as our guide. We toured 3 wineries and had wonderful tastings at boutique, intimate wineries with some of the owners and wine makers. Niko is also quite the photographer and will get shots of you and your group at some of the best places on the property. We loved our tour with Niko and would give him 10 stars if possible! Thanks Niko!

Niko guided a group of girlfriends and I for 2 days across parts of the Willamette Valley. He expertly selected 6 wineries for us to visit and we loved them all! You could tell that he had done his research and had great relationships with most of the vineyard owners. We started the week as customers and ended as friends. Loved every minute of it!
