About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- CJ1120150 contributionsExcellent wine tasting /touring experienceWe were a small group of 10: 4 friends in their 30s, a couple in their 30s, two solo folk in their 50s and a couple in their 60s with Shawn as the driver, guide, and all-knowing expert on many topics ( wine, the region, Oregon history, etc). It was a great day…we visited three vineyards of different sizes and were guided in the tastings by representatives at each. Shawn was helpful in laying out the day’s itinerary, facilitating the group buying lunch, providing boxes for us to take wine home ( he told us Alaska Airline has a “wine flies free“ program!) and then dropping us directly at the hotel with our box ( it was near the pickup place). He was great! We learned a lot about Oregon wineries, the soil, the history and of course developed a more refined palate! Highly recommend the tour.Written 10 October 2024
- dshardin0 contributionsGreat DayWe had a great informative day tour. Learned so much about salmon, history of the area and the building of the lodge at Mt Hood. Shipped some jam home from fruit stand we stopped out so still enjoying the fruits of our trip. Fully recommend this tour.Written 26 September 2024
- leslieb2970 contributionsA beautiful day in the Willamette Valley!It was a wonderful day in the Willamette Valley! Our tour guide Shahn was very knowledgeable and made the day so enjoyable. I loved the chosen wineries. I learned so much about the Oregon wine industry and Pinot Noir. I couldn't recommend it enough!Written 13 September 2024
- pushpag20240 contributionsHighly recommend this tour to see outside PortlandThis was the perfect half day activity for our 11-person group. Many thanks to Josh for making this a great experience. We visited beautiful places, learned a lot and had fun! Really comfortable vehicle, too. Highly recommend this private tour with Sea to Summit.Written 5 August 2024
- SLGTravel0 contributionsWonderful Wine in WillametteWe lucked out with a great group! Our leader, Shahn was well organized and helped the group bond. He is super smart and shared his passion with us. We had three unique tastings large to small vineyards and enjoyed them all! Thanks to the team - it made our visit seamless & so so enjoyable!Written 25 July 2024
- LorannH0 contributionsPerfect mix of wineries-amazing guideShahn was a fantastic guide. He is a lifetime Portland resident and incredibly knowledge about the historic geological makeup of the area that was fascinating to understand how Wiilamette can have such a variety of different wines. He picked the perfect mix of wineries starting with a larger vineyard and ending with micro winery. It was great to have that comparison. The market e we got to order what we wanted for Lunch had a great mix of choices- even gluten free crust pizza which my friend said was good. He made the whole day easy and special. It was an especially hot day and he even made sure the wine we previously purchased didn’t overheat. When I get to return to Portland I will absolutely book again with Shahn.Written 20 July 2024
- 65lorid0 contributionsOutstanding!Absolutely outstanding tour! I highly recommend. Josh was a fantastic host and took us to all of the best spots and let us explore at our leisure. Also gave us great recommendations for restaurants back in Portland. Would definitely use them again. The level of communication and customer service was phenomenal!Written 18 July 2024

- mariekP2563QX0 contributionsExcellent wine tour with ShahnThis was our first tour with Sea to Summit, and my husband and I had a wonderful and educational experience with the Williamette Valley Wine tour. We're from California and often visit wineries and take tours, but this one was the best by far. Our tour guide, Shahn, a 2nd level sommelier and grew up in the Willamette Valley, was incredibly knowledgeable about wines and local history. We learned about the rich soils and winemaking history of the Willamette Valley, as well as its present and future. The valley's soil is unique due to ancient volcanic activity and the Missoula Floods, which brought mineral-rich sediments that are perfect for viticulture. These elements create an ideal terroir for growing Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and other grape varieties, giving the wines distinct flavors and complexity. Shahn also shared insights into the evolution of winemaking in the region, from its early days to its current status as a world-renowned wine-producing area. We discussed the innovative techniques being used by local winemakers to enhance the quality of their wines and the sustainable practices being adopted to preserve the environment. Looking to the future, Shahn highlighted the potential for new grape varieties to be introduced and the continued growth of boutique wineries that focus on small-batch, high-quality production. We visited three wineries: Rex Hill/A to Z, Torii Mor, and Tresori. Shahn brought lunch from the Red Hill Market, which we enjoyed at Torii Mor during our wine tasting.Rex Hill is a large winery with delicious Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Torii Mor's Pinots were a bit too young, but their Viognier port wine was good. Tresori, a small "micro" winery on the slopes of Chehalem Ridge, was peaceful and beautiful. Although the wine steward at each winery explained the wines, Shahn added even more insights. We ended up joining Rex Hill and Tresori wine club. The Mercedes 4x4 van was comfortable, making the tour even more enjoyable. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience. Thank you, Shahn.Written 10 June 2024
- Experience8012700 contributionsFalls TourMy friends and I loved our tour with Josh. His vehicle was so comfortable and he was so knowledgeable about the area. We would never have seen so many sights without his tour. Totally loved the fish hatchery. I highly recommend Sea to Summit.Written 4 June 2024
- jessicamL8825EQ0 contributionsFantastic Wine TourWhile attending a wedding in Portland for the weekend, we gathered with 8 family and friends to take a private wine tour with Sean as our guide. Communications prior, during, and after our tour were very clear and we were quickly responded to when we had questions before the tour. Joshua was very accommodating to all our requests and Sean assisted us with ordering lunch to be picked up between wineries. We were taken to 3 very different wineries where we felt we received the full experience the valley had to offer which included a large, medium, and small winery. Our group all found wines they loved throughout the day, the van was spacious and comfortable, the scenery was amazing, and Sean was very knowledgeable of the vineyards and valley’s history. It was the perfect ending to a fantastic weekend and we would highly recommend this very professional touring company.Written 18 November 2023
- 736aimeel0 contributionsGirls afternoon out WINING!My girlfriends and I took this tour, not knowing quite what to expect and Sean was great! So knowledgeable and taught us more than we had ever realized there is to wine making (as we are not as much experts at producing as we are drinking). He was so accommodating and friendly. Also helped us with other things to do around Portland and places to eat. Would definitely recommend this tour company and guide as owner Joshua is also wonderful to work with.

- MargauxW4000 contributionsRidiculously good wine, excellent dealJosh and the entire Sea to Summit team were amazing! They coordinated our private tour for my birthday perfectly—our group had a few tricky schedules/specific needs and it wasn't a problem—and they made the whole experience ridiculously fun. Josh knows everyone at each winery and can find you the best deals, the wine was ridiculously good, I can't believe how much wine we got for the price. My friend booked another tour for her in-laws the next day—definitely recommend.Written 16 August 2023
- laurennR728HB0 contributionsExcellent wine tour with a knowledgeable guideExcellent tour from Shahn. He was an excellent driver and was knowledgeable about the surrounding area and the wines. He told us a lot of stories and kept the conversation going. He chose a great local place for lunch and we really appreciated him going back to get our lunch for us while we were at the second winery.Written 31 July 2023

Outstanding Tour and Excellent Guide (Josh); very knowledgeable. My friend, Barbara and I had a wonderful trip in a nice shuttle; enjoyed the beautiful scenery as well as the history of all explained. This tour made our trip to Portland very memorable. Don't hesitate to go with this group; not only professional, knowledgeable, went out of his way to make sure we were comfortable, and felt safe the whole trip. Thank you Josh. We made it home safely after taking the PCH to Santa Barbara from Portland. What a trip. Barbara & Sherry from the Houston area.

We took the 1/2 day tour with Shaun as our tour guide. It was a great experience- Shaun gave us so much information about Portland - the areas we visited- the salmon. What a great guide - you can tell how he truly loves Portland and how he is willing to share his knowledge of it. I highly recommend this tour and you will be super lucky if you get Shaun.

Josh, the owner/operator made us feel like we were being shown favorite parts of the area by a friend who had lived, fished and hiked this area most of his life-which he has! From pointing out eagle and osprey nests to the Great Pyrenees protecting his flock of sheep, we saw much more than waterfalls!

We had a great time seeing Columbia River Gorge with Joshua as our guide. He was so knowledgeable with explaining the history, geology, and local knowledge of the area! Due to morning marine layer he re- routed our adventure so that we had the best photo opportunities possible. Excellent guide , accommodating, and we would definitely recommend Sea to Summit Tours to others thinking of Columbia River Gorge or wine tasting in Willamette Valley.

First of all Shawn our driver/guide made this trip so enjoyable. He was so knowledgeable about the history of the area (he was a history major), knew all about how the river was formed, and shared lots of great info about each place we stopped at. The van was comfortable, clean, and easy to get in and out of. My daughter bought several rocks at the gift shops to take home as souvenirs for her sons. We ran into Shawn the next day when we were in Willamette Valley while he was leading a different tour. He gave my daughter a rock and mineral book for her sons. That goes way beyond tour guide duty! The manager at our hotel recommended Sea to Summit for our Columbia River Gorge Tour, and I am so glad we took their tour instead of another one we were looking at. I highly recommend this tour and Shawn as the tour guide!
