Willamette Valley Wine Tour - Private Full Day Tour

Thank you very much for your input. We are in the business of satisfying and pleasing clients and always strive to do so. In this case I also think you could have been better. The day started with my driver calling me and texting frustrated that you refused to wrap up your first appointment after it was explained that we are an appointment scheduled and must be on time, you choose to ignore that and by the time we arrived at the next location the vineyard assumed we had no reservations. Part of having an excellent day is allowing us to curate the perfect day and also you abiding by the Appointments, general etiquette of the experience for the day. I think it was very unfair that you made my driver day a nightmare by complaining, refusing to adhere to schedule and then leaving your one sided experience on the web. We have a simple reservation system with an automatic confirmation which most of our busy clients appreciate and like the ease of booking without the need to speak on the phone though we are always available should you have questions or input on what you want to visit. We are always striving for excellence and we are always hopefull to host lovely and generous visitors that want to experience our beautiful Willamette Valley. Most of our drivers are seasoned wine experts and even if your driver isn't, the 15 minutes between vineyards should not make your trip a negative experience. I wish you luck on your next journey. Cheers.

Thank you Kristen, it was an awesome day spent! Big hello to your friends.

Oh Patricia, if only I had a way to review you.. Let's go over some details why our day could have been better, and perhaps as a deterrent in case anyone else tries to pull off what you did that day. First off, do not begin a tour by insulting the driver/guide as a first greeting (this should really have been the red flag to turn around and drop you off). As we ventured off visiting vineyards that you picked out, the first winery we battled thru it, by vineyard number two, you began dropping the "f bombs" about how expensive the tastings are and you want to go elsewhere. By using profanity at wine tastings, you were embarrassing me, and created a very unnecessary environment with the tasting room host. While again, this should have been a red flag to end the tour, I tried to appease you yet still. At lunch you got intoxicated, and because of your limited budget I agreed to take you to a vineyard where I'm a club member so you can have the tastings for free. On the way there, you began vaping your electronic cigarette when I has asked you not to. You were also spraying perfume, which is inappropriate since it is not your vehicle, and during wine tastings all perfumes or strong scents should be limited/refrained as they affect the sensory perceptions during wine tastings. At the next vineyard you continued to vape your electronic cigarette even though I asked you not to, many vineyards, including our stop was LIVE designated organic vineyard that prohibits any smoking or vaping. As long day was coming to an end, you began to blackmail me(with a potential for a negative review) reading the viator listing out loud indicating that the ad states approximately 8 hours and we were only 6 hours into the tour and then on top of that demanding that I play heavy death metal music. This was also, highly rude behavior, and our tatal tour lasted 7.5 hours. You are a very grown person approaching retirement, and I really should not have to say this but your behavior that day was beyond unappropriate. Your actions at the vineyards were also not in tune with basic etiquette of a vineyard setting, and I highly encourage you to make an effort on your next tours or travels to act and respect rules and norms of the event that you may be participating. I truly wish you the best, especially in your yoga practise and business, Namaste/Hare Krishna.
