Whoever we were supposed to get lunch from wasn’t there so we had a paired wine tasting at the winery which was good but we paid for that ourselves. Our guide ordered a Brie plate for us which we didn’t eat much of. The Multnomah falls was gorgeous. Our guide was informative but really talked a lot.”
