Description
Gone are the days of choosing between a drowsy shuttle bus driver or the self-proclaimed expert viticulturalist to guide your journey through Oregon wine country. Welcome to The Good Vibes Tour, we specialize in transporting you directly to the experts: the passionate artisans behind these exceptional Willamette Valley vintages.
It all begins with The Vibe. Our drivers are adept at gauging the group and seamlessly adapting their interaction to enhance the collective; interacting as much or as little as adds to your experience. Then there’s our meticulously crafted luxury coaches. Far from your typical passenger van or conventional limousine, our transport evokes the ambiance of the Pacific NW; complete with an open and inviting floorplan, rustic wood accents, a simulated fireplace, and modern amenities like a coffee nook, Bluetooth music and optional karaoke. Take a photo/video tour of our fleet online and book your adventure!

The absolute BEST in the Valley
If you’re looking for a tour guide who brings the GOOD VIBES, Shane is IT!
From the very beginning, Shane sets the tone for an adventure that is fun, positive, and just plain enjoyable. He is so much fun to be around, and his energy is contagious. It’s honestly hard NOT to be in a good mood when you’re with him!
There were 9 of us and we had a two day sparkling wine tasting adventure planned. Three wineries the first day, 2 on the second. Pick up was easy and flawless both days.
And while he keeps things fun, he’s also incredibly organized. He keeps you on track, knows what needs to happen when it needs to happen, and is always willing to pivot when plans need to change.
Shane also has a ton of great recommendations. You can tell he genuinely wants you to have a great time and experience!
The name Good Vibes Tour could not be more fitting. Shane doesn’t just lead the adventure, he creates the vibe. If you have the opportunity to tour with him, DO IT. You’re guaranteed to have a great time!
Operator response
Vicky, thank you for the wonderful review and for sharing the details of your Willamette Valley wine country adventure! It was a pleasure spending a few days exploring the region with you, and I’m so glad you enjoyed the experience.
I hope we get to welcome you back to Oregon’s Willamette Valley for another wine tasting tour soon. Best of luck with Bubbly Side of Life, your tasting room outside Chicago—I can’t wait to hear about all of your Midwest wine-country happenings.
Cheers!

Good Vibes? More like Great Vibes!
Talk about Good Vibes! Three amazing wineries, a very comfortable and fun van, attention to our food allergies, and good value. Shane was terrific with communication before the trip and then just a great dude throughout our tour. Cannot recommend them highly enough!
Operator response
Steve, I'm not certain we can take credit for these Good Vibes. The five of you showed up in awesome matching jogging suits, played fun games along the way, and got the dirty secrets out of our last vineyard host! The day was too much fun and I hope we get to see you all next time a work conference brings you this way. Cheers to Rose, Thorn and Bush

Terrific Experience for Team Building!
I was responsible for an executive committee retreat for professionals. Shane did an excellent job of helping me organize a team building experience of wineries, a cidery, chocolate tasting and dinner. He was easy to work with, communicative, and knowledgeable. His expertise and hospitality created a fun atmosphere that allowed us to enjoy the day. He took initiative and knew who to call to improve our experiences. He was simply available at our request and we spent the entire afternoon and evening with his services. It was just a great excursion experience for the team. Thank you Shane!
Operator response
Heather,
Thank you for letting us help show the team safely and comfortably around wine country. Your crew was so fun to spend the day with and I was excited that all the experiences came together effortlessly! I look forward to seeing you all again. Cheers

Good Vibes Indeed
The title says it all, Good Vibes all around! They were so easy to work with, made great recommendations for wineries to visit and just so much fun. Every detail is taken care of for you and so well thought through. We had the best day, learned new places to visit and I can't recommend them highly enough.
Operator response
Thank you for putting so much thought into reviewing your experience. We will be available should you ever need another dose of great wine and the people behind them. Cheers

Good Vibes. Great Times.
Wow, where do we begin?! The team at Good Vibes really knows how to do it right! Shane curated the most incredible itinerary for us. It was beyond what we could have ever imagined (and this was our third wine tour in Willamette). They truly knocked it out of the park!
We had the most amazing tour guide, Matt, who was very knowledgeable and one heck of a good time. He handled everything with such wit and entertaining tidbits, we didn’t want to leave the incredibly pimped out van at the end (we forgot to karaoke it’s probably best for Matt’s sake). Oh, and the lunch spread he made was absolutely perfect for our crew of 7.
The small personal touches throughout the experience were an unexpected treat and made us feel so special. We’re proud to be a part of the Good Vibes Tribe and can’t wait to return!
Operator response
Whoa, thank you for putting as much care into your review as we hope to put into every curated adventure! So glad you enjoyed your chariot for the day and your guide Matt. We look forward to your return and will keep searching for more hidden gems to share with you upon your next visit. Cheers

You won’t regret it
Shane put the good in good times. He curated a trip for me and my daughters. We spent the whole day enjoying wineries outside of the tourism. Everything was very personalized, we got to experience a local winery, a gorgeous up-and-coming winery, and one that was so beautiful. He didn’t make us feel rushed even though some visits took longer than others. He will customize your tour to your preference. The vibe is so fun, flexible, personable. Will do it again for sure.
Operator response
Sandra,
Thank you for the great review. You and daughters were so fun to show around the valley. We will have more amazing wineries and winemakers for you to visit when you return. Cheers

David is our spirit guide!!!!
My friends and I had the most incredible experience!! We were a rowdy bunch and our guide (David 🫶) was an absolute saint. He brought the perfect energy to our group- he let us have fun and did not judge us for all of our silliness (and tears). Just the perfect vibes. My friends stayed for the weekend and we couldn’t stop talking about our afternoon on the Good Vibes tour. We made memories that will last a lifetime! THANK YOU DAVID!!! ❤️🍷
Operator response
I love this so much! Cara, David came back with great things to say about his day with you and visiting friends... and a few stories of the day :-) Thank you for spending the day with us and for the great review. I'll pass along the video you sent to David. Cheers

Best Business Event, Hands Down!
Shane helped plan and execute on an amazing wine tour for my coworkers. He was full of good vibes yet very professional. The lunch he provided turned into a nice picnic while we were sampling wines at Gemini. The van is comfortable and well appointed, and even has a couple small disco lights if you can find there secret hiding spot.
Operator response
I should have guessed your crew would find the party lights! Ryan, thank you for letting us help plan your big team building adventure. This was a really fun group to show around Oregon wine country.
