Willamette Valley Winery Tour

Duration: 10 am - 5 pm | Cost: $110 (not including tasting fees)

Enjoy the scenic Willamette Valley on an exclusive winery tour designed specifically for CERF! Join Backroads Wine Tours and Dr. Scott Burns, Professor Emeritus of Geology at Portland State University, for an educational and unforgettable tour of this world-renowned wine region. Known for primarily for Pinot Noir, the area boasts over 17,000 acres of vineyards and 440 wineries. This tour will get you off the beaten path to explore some of the “hidden gems” of the Valley, focusing on boutique wineries with critically acclaimed wines. We are pleased to have Dr. Burns join us on the tour; he has been studying wine and terroir – the relationship between wine, soils, geology, and climate for 43 years and is eager to impart his knowledge to fellow wine enthusiasts.

The tour includes round-trip travel from the Convention Center, expert tour guides, and a gourmet lunch.
