Twisted Vine Wine Tours, LLC — Attraction in Lewiston

You know home when you can taste it -- my family helped settle the LC Valley AVA in 1860. Hence, I was expecting my Mom, Dad, and I to end up teaching Clint about the area. Boy was I wrong. Clint seriously knows his stuff, including the wineries. After four hours we just started to scratch the surface -- I wish we would've hit pause, poured him a glass, and let him tell more stories. Exceedingly professional and safety aware too.

I wasn't expecting much from my hometown's new AVA, having done tours and tastings in Nampa, Walla Walla, and Chelan. But I found our wineries are much more personable and, well, friendly.

Part way through the tour I caught myself daydreaming about hunting when I was a kid on the Lewiston Hill -- and running out at Hell's Gate after a fresh rain. It snuck up on me. Stunned me. It was the wine! This is terroir. This is the taste of home!

We were picked up at my relatives house in Lewiston and I was impressed by how professional our guide, Clint, was. Clint offered us bottled water (still or sparkling), and the van was clean and comfortable. I always felt safe. Clint provided commentary on the Lewis-Clark AVA, and the back story of each of the wineries. As we had the highest end tour, the tastings and dinner were included in the price. I enjoyed learning more about Lewis and Clark, and hearing about some of the history of the area. Dinner was excellent at Colter's Creek! I can't wait to come back and take some different relatives on this tour. I'd strongly recommend it to anyone who enjoys wine and learning the "behind-the-scenes" and backstory behind things. Clint definitely...

I had a friend visiting from out of town, and I was looking for something for us to do. A local wine tour definitely fit the bill. As an entrepreneur who built a local transportation company from the ground up, and later selling the company, I know how difficult this industry is. Clint, the owner of the company and our tour guide, is hitting everything exactly right. Well dressed, he was well prepared, and knows his topic: namely, the Lewis/Clark Valley, since he grew up here. His tour was well done, and I was impressed that he seemed to have thought of everything. I have already recommended his services to other friends...
