Willamette Valley Wine Country Tour

Join us June 12 - June 17, 2025

and October 2026

 Join Mark, his wife Isabel & daughter Tiffany on our third tour of Oregon’s Willamette Valley wine country. We will be staying in the beautiful Setting Inn in the heart of the Willamette Valley, a lush valley of rolling hills and vineyards an hour southwest of Portland and 45 minutes from the coast. The Willamette Valley was Wine Enthusiast’s 2016 Wine Region of the Year. More than 700 vineyards and 530 producers are spread among the Valley’s six American Viticultural Areas, best known for its impeccable Pinot Noirs and Rosé, the diverse region also offers many other varietals, as well as local craft beers and ciders.

Mark and family spent the month of July, 2020 in this region for the first time and were so impressed by the wines, the landscape, the restaurants, the friendly people and the whole experience, they not only wanted to return as soon as possible, (which they did) but also wanted to share this hidden gem with all of you by creating this new Candelaria Design Tour!
