Uncork the Details!

We’ll be staying at The Boutique Retreat—an upscale tiny house hideaway in the heart of downtown McMinnville—the very heart of Willamette Valley wine country. These thoughtfully designed, one-of-a-kind accommodations blend modern comfort with cozy charm, creating the perfect home base for our wine adventures. Just steps from tasting rooms, great dining, and small-town magic, it’s a stay that feels intimate, stylish, and delightfully Oregon—exactly the kind of place where unforgettable wine memories are made!

We’ll meet you in Portland.

McMinnville is about a 75-minute drive from Portland International Airport, so to help keep things easy (and costs down!), our Uncorked Adventure officially kicks off at Portland Wine Bar and Winery at 2:30 PM—just 12 miles from the airport. Getting there is a breeze: hop on the MAX light rail for a couple of bucks, grab an Uber or Lyft, or book a shuttle service. After a warm welcome, our inaugural tasting, and a quick orientation, we’ll board the Uncorked Adventure Fun Bus and head to McMinnville together! 🍷🚌

How you get to Portland is entirely up to you. Airfare is not included in the tour package so you have full flexibility—use frequent flyer miles if you’ve got them (high five!), or customize your trip with pre- or post-adventure extensions. If you choose to drive, street parking will be available both at the Portland Wine Bar and at The Boutique Retreat.

We’re keeping it small.

As your host, I believe people come before profit—always. That’s why I keep this adventure small (just a dozen fun, curious wine lovers), so I can give you plenty of personal attention. My goal? Help you learn a little, laugh a lot, and connect over an exceptional lineup of wines I can’t wait to share with you. 

All tastings are included, and you don’t have to drive.

A wine adventure should be about savoring every sip—not doing mental math along the way. With Uncorked Adventure, all wine tastings are included, and so is all in-tour transportation from the moment we leave the Portland Wine Bar. That means you get to relax, enjoy the ride, and focus on what really matters: exceptional wines, easygoing moments, and great company

Most of the munch? On us!

Great wine deserves great food—and we’ve planned accordingly. Throughout our 4-day Uncorked Adventure, you’re only responsible for one meal: Friday night dinner, giving you the freedom to explore McMinnville your way. All other meals are thoughtfully handled, including Saturday night’s show-stopping five-course dinner, with each course perfectly paired with wine. Come hungry—we’ve got you covered!

Why This Adventure?

• Because wine is better when shared.   
• Because small groups mean better conversations and deeper experiences.
• Because spring in the Willamette Valley is spectacular!
