When
you choose to spend your day with us, it is exactly
that your day we will do everything
we can to make it
a special one. Our drivers are always able to
accommodate your needs as well as suggest wineries
that fit your tastes and the best sights in the
Columbia River Gorge.
I
wanted to drop a line to let you know what a fantastic
time we had on
our Hood River wine tour. Phillip went above and
beyond every step of the way. He took the time
to personally get us set up at each of the
Columbia Gorge wineries, and made several
detours during the day to check out local events,
point out fantastic views, historic sites, and
restaurants he would recommend. He was full
of information and good humor everything
you could possibly ask for in a guide. Keep up
the great work.

Thank you so much for a wonderful tour of The Columbia
Gorge. This was by far the best part of
our honeymoon, and we will recommend you to
everybody we know visiting your area. Gail did an
incredible job of taking care of us during the day.
He was so informative, telling us things about
the area and about each of the wineries that we
never would have known otherwise. At the end
of the day, he even made restaurant reservations
for us for that evening with one of the winermakers
we had met. The tour was definitely the highlight
of our honeymoon. Thank you so much.

We
had the BEST TIME on your tour.
Christi was
awesome. We drove around by ourselves our first
day in town, and we couldnt believe how
much we had missed by trying to read the map,
find sideroads, etc. Christi answered all of
our questions, made great suggestions on hiking
trails and windsurfing spots in the Gorge, and
even helped us plan the rest of our trip.
We expected somebody to just drive us around.
What we got was a full tour guide/concierge/travel
agent/ and gourmet lunch all in one. Wish we could
take her every time we go on vacation.

Christi
and Phil,
We
had a great time on the tour
..Phil took
us to all the right places and I am starting to
understand wines.
We
truly loved Hood River and all it has to offer
but the Wine Tour was the highlight of Girls
Weekend. I look forward to using Hood River
Tours in the future and will make sure to pass
your information on.
Thanks
again,
Maureen
and the girls
Christi,
I just wanted to say THANK YOU! to you and Phil
for a wonderful May Day experience. We had such
a great time and Phil was such a pleasure to have
as a driver. He was pleasant and knowledgeable
and tolerated our cackling and belly laughing
and incessant talking in the van. My husband says
the volume level goes up several decibels when
we all get together. The wineries we went to were
all fabulous and we are already talking about
when we are going to do this again as a group.
I am attaching a few pictures from our trip. Please
feel free to use them if you would like. I am
happy to share my wonderful experience with anyone!

Hi
guys, just wanted to thank you for the excellent
service on the Wine tour last week. You did
a fantastic job with my 22 clients, and they were
very impressed with the Gorge, and ultimatley
my company! Exactly what I needed to boost my
business. I hope to bring them back next year,
and hit the wineries we didn't get to last time.
I will recommend your business to my associates
should they need a corporate retreat or corporate
tour bus in the Columbia Gorge.

After
spending 3 weeks in the Columbia River Gorge,
my husband and I are convinced that your tour
is the greatest bargain in The Gorge. We went
to 4 wineries, 1 vineyard, saw incredible views
of the river, and had an outstanding summer picnic.
Thank you for an extraordinary day, and for introducing
us to many wonderful wineries. Marshals was our
favorite!
We used our gift certficate
& it was such a great suggestion for a unique
and memorable Birthday Gift!

Christi,
It's been a pleasure to work with Hood River Tours
this last summer. We always get rave reviews from
our guests who have booked a tour with your company,
and you have helped us to offer guests a great
room and wine package in the Gorge. We
never have to worry about them driving in town,
and we know they will come back next year.
You've helped our business grow, and also the
community of Hood River. Let's continue the good
work next season.

Mount
Hood and the Columbia River Gorge
Sixty miles east of Portland, through the Columbia
River Gorge, the Cascade Mountains, and Mount
Hood, the land and air go from moist to arid in
a very short distance. Phil and Christi Duvic,
newlyweds and owners of Hood River Tours, were
the first to start a tour operation in the area
that focuses on wine. They pick parties up from
their hotels and treat them to personalized four-
to five-hour tours, including a carefully prepared
lunch. "We want our guests to relax and have
fun," Christi says. "The wineries are
glad to see them and most of the time they will
get to talk to the owner. It's a great way for
people to come out and get started wine tasting."
The Duvics keep the tour size small. They take
groups of up to 14 people in a passenger van,
and up to six people in a mini-van for parties
who don't know each other. And because Hood River
and The Dalles are so close in proximity yet so
different in soil and climate, they find it easy
to demonstrate the importance of terroir. "The
Barberas and Syrahs coming out of The Dalles area
are really great. And the Hood River seems to
have something for every palate," Christi
says. "It's a great place to discover."
