Wine country the way
it was meant to be enjoyed.
No designated driver. No rented van. No group tour running on someone else's schedule. GRG ELITE takes you through the Willamette Valley and Southern Washington wine country at your own pace, in your own vehicle, with a professional chauffeur who knows when to arrive and when to let the afternoon unfold.
Private winery tours for couples, groups of up to six, and anyone who believes that a great bottle of wine deserves a great day to go with it.
Two wine countries.
One exceptional chauffeur.
GRG ELITE covers both of the Pacific Northwest's premier wine regions — the celebrated Willamette Valley in Oregon, and the emerging Southern Washington wine country just north of the Columbia River. Each region has its own character, its own varietals, and its own reasons to spend a full day exploring.
The Willamette Valley is one of the world's great Pinot Noir regions — a rolling, fertile landscape of hilltop vineyards, family-owned estates, and tasting rooms that range from intimate farmhouse cellars to dramatic purpose-built wine halls. A full day here never feels rushed because there's always one more estate worth stopping at.
- Chehalem Mountains AVA
- Dundee Hills AVA — Oregon's most celebrated
- Ribbon Ridge AVA
- Eola-Amity Hills AVA
- Yamhill-Carlton AVA
- McMinnville AVA
Southern Washington's wine country sits just north of the Columbia River and offers something the Willamette Valley can't — dramatic Columbia River Gorge views alongside your tasting, and bold red varietals that reflect the warmer, drier eastern slopes. Fewer crowds, more discovery, and a scenery that makes every drive between wineries its own reward.
- Columbia River Gorge AVA
- Vancouver WA — local urban wineries
- Battle Ground & Ridgefield estates
- Washougal — Columbia Gorge edge
- Stevenson & Skamania area
- Lyle & White Salmon corridor
Your day.
Your wineries.
Your pace.
A GRG ELITE winery tour isn't a pre-packaged itinerary with strangers. It's a private day out built entirely around what you want to do — which wineries you want to visit, how long you want to stay at each one, and how the afternoon unfolds.
We drive, we wait, we adjust. You taste, you explore, you enjoy. The Cadillac Escalade ESV holds six passengers comfortably with room for purchases. The Tesla Model Y handles couples and small groups who want the quieter, more intimate experience. Either way, nobody in your party is the designated driver.
"The best winery tours are the ones where you forget you ever had to think about getting there."
No strangers, no shared shuttle, no group schedule to follow. Every GRG ELITE winery tour is exclusively for you and your party — from departure to the last winery and back.
You pick the estates. We get you there. Whether you have a list of favorites or want recommendations, we work around your preferences — not a fixed itinerary designed for the average group.
Found a winery you love? Stay for lunch. Want to squeeze in one more stop before sunset? We adjust. Nobody is watching a clock except us — and we're making sure you never miss your window.
The Cadillac Escalade ESV has generous cargo space for cases and bottles alongside your group. No cramming wine into a tiny trunk. Everything travels safely from tasting room to your front door.
Pulling up to a Willamette Valley estate in a 2024 Cadillac Escalade ESV Platinum sets a tone. Tasting room staff notice. The experience feels different when the arrival matches the occasion.
The obvious one, and the one that changes everything. Every single person in your group gets to fully participate in the tastings — no rotating designated driver, no half-measures, no guilt.

Every reason to spend
a day in wine country.
GRG ELITE winery tours aren't just for serious wine enthusiasts — though they love us too. Here are the most common reasons our guests book a private tour, and why each one deserves exactly this kind of experience.
A winery tour in the Willamette Valley or along the Columbia Gorge is one of the Pacific Northwest's great date days. No logistics, no decisions about driving — just a beautiful day with the right person and excellent wine.
A private winery tour is a birthday gift that's impossible to replicate. A full day out for the birthday guest and their closest friends — multiple estates, great bottles, and nobody worrying about driving home.
Impress a client or reward a team with a private wine country day that says more about your company than any dinner reservation could. GRG ELITE handles all logistics — you focus on the relationship.
Showing guests the best the Pacific Northwest has to offer? A private winery tour through the Willamette Valley is the experience they'll talk about long after their flight home. We make you look like a perfect host.
The Cadillac Escalade ESV fits six — perfect for a bachelorette group who wants a full day in wine country without splitting into multiple cars. Everything stays together, everyone enjoys everything.
Many Willamette Valley and Southern Washington wineries welcome well-behaved dogs on their grounds. GRG ELITE's pet-friendly tour option means your dog joins the day — bed, partition, and all — in the Cadillac or Tesla.
Everything you need
