Of course the Willamette Valley is on this list! If I had a dime for every time I heard on a tour: "This reminds me of how Napa used to be!" ☺️
The rootsy, down-to-earth hospitality will charm you. The world-class w**es will wow you. Join us for a tour in 2026, and we'll show you what it's all about! 🥂

Experience what Napa was like before it became a luxe playground in Arizona, Texas, New York and North Carolina’s w**e regions.

To my valued guests visiting Oregon W**e Country: I cannot recommend The Painted Lady enough, as THE go-to for inspired, artisan, "locavore" dishes plus a 100% local w**e pairing program. I couldn't have selected the w**es any better myself! The first thing you should do after booking your tour with us is make your reservation at The Painted Lady Restaurant

We're thrilled to announce our return to service at The Painted Lady after a brief pause. Chef Allen has curated an exquisite new winter menu featuring w**e pairings from esteemed local w**eries. We hope you'll join us during the tranquil winter season.

We also highly recommend going w**e tasting during these months. There's less traffic and the tasting staff is always more accessible for questions. Here are the current w**eries we are featuring on our menu.

Trisaetum W**ery
Walter Scott W**es
