Family was coming to town for the Thanksgiving Holiday and we were looking for something to do as a group. We had wine drinkers and non-wine drinkers, so I was a bit worried. Didn't matter one bit! Clint educated us (we might have educated him some) on the areas history and the local wines...he really catered to our mixed group of interests and ages. I would recommend any tour by Clint...he delivers an experience. (Plus he hauled out all the wine I bought!) Thank you Clint! Will do it again some time.

Clint was over the top in service and information. HIGHLY recommend him. Delightful and sensitive to any needs.
We took a day tour to Walla Walla with Clint and had an incredible experience. Clint was extremely knowledgable about the wines, the wineries, the area, the history, and a host of other things. He made us feel comfortable throughout the day whether we were shopping downtown, eating out, or tasting wines at the wineries. He had thought of every detail, making the trip relaxing and pleasant. I have been to tastings in the past which were nice, but I wasn't sure how to make the most of the visit. Clint walked us through how to taste the wines, what to look for, what questions we might ask, things that made the whole day more productive and pleasant. I would definitely take another tour with Clint. read more

We took the Malbec Tour on Saturday, July 1, 2017, as a part of our trip to the Palouse region of the Washington State and the Hells Canyon National Recreation Area. The entire tour lasted about 7 hours and 15 minutes. Clint, the tour guide, was very knowledgeable and responsive. To sum up, this was a well-designed and well-conducted wine-tasting tour, in which you will experience best wines of the region, meet a few friendly elite wine makers in person, learn a lot about wine-making and the history of Lewis-Clark Valley American Viticultural Area. A brief note about each stop is listed below. 1. Clearwater Canyon Cellars - We tasted 7 different types of wine, several of which are highly decorated with medals from many wine competitions. Coco, the wine maker with Ph.D. in wine-making, talked to us about the unique geography and climate of the Lewis-Clark Valley, the history of their vineyard and winery, and different aspects of wine-making. We also toured the warehouse where wine-making equipment and aisles of stacked wine barrels are located. 2. Colter's Creek Tasting Room and Restaurant - We tasted 4 or 5 different types of wine, including some gold medal winners. We also ordered a cheese platter to pair with the wine. The scenery of the Clearwater River valley along the route to the venue was very impressive. 3. Woodie Cellars - We tasted 3 or 4 different kinds of wine here. Carter, former professor of wine-making at WSU, talked to us about his small scale operation procedures and some differences between making red and white wines, among other interesting topics. 4. Vine 46 - We tasted 3 different kinds of wine here, one of which was a gold medal winner. The wine maker duo, Jeff and Mike, chatted with us at kitchen counter in the tasting room about their double professions and their approaches of making wine. 5. Lindsay Creek Vineyards - This was the most beautiful, and probably the largest, winery of the tour. There was a wedding ceremony going on outside the tasting room while we were there. We tasted 3 different wines, all of which were medal winners. Art, the wine maker, talked about himself and their business, and took us to tour the warehouse. read more

This is a truly excellent tour. All the work and worry were removed from the experience by Clint. The whole tour was unhurried, the schedule timing was excellent and he was very flexible in providing us the time we were comfortable with at each stop. It was a very pleasant experience and we learned a lot of the local history in addition to tasting (and buying) some very tasty wine! I highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in a quality wine tour. read more

I have been with my spouse for over 20 years and I have two children. I received my degree in Psychology from the University of Idaho, and worked as a Parole Officer for the State of Idaho for 15 years. Wanting a change of pace, and a desire to showcase this wonderful and historic place my family and I call home, I took a year formulating my business plan, and making contacts in the community. I am excited to share this land that Lewis and Clark traveled over 200 years ago with you!

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! The rest of the tour I could tell by just the smell what was grown in the LC Valley AVA vs somewhere else and every time I couldn't stop from smiling. Thanks Clint! read more

Had a great time!! We were picked up at my relatives house in Lewiston. I was impressed by how professional our guide, Clint, was. Clint had a single headphone thing, that you put over one ear. I appreciated that it was made of smooth plastic that Clint said that he personally sanitized. I admit I'm a bit of a germ freak, so that was one less thing to worry about. 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 treats you right! read more

World-Class combination of knowledge, flexibility, hospitality and genuine professionalism! During our recent day of wine touring several of the vintners mentioned that the local wine business owes much to Clint and his tours; spend the day with him and you'll also be a huge fan. We began our stellar day in Moscow (additional pickup charge) and ended it back in Moscow MANY hours later after 4 winery tastings in the LC Valley AVA. Each stop was wonderful, in part because Clint and the wine makers have terrific rapport. When an unpredictable glitch required Clint to change the itinerary midway, he turned vinegar to champagne!! His insight, combined with the flexibility and generosity of wine makers, resulted in an UNFORGETTABLE DAY! Thanks Clint, 2 Bad Labs, Clearwater Canyon Cellars, Vine 46, Spiral Rock and Ampersand! read more

My husband and I wanted to have a fun local excursion on a Saturday. I've been on several wine tours before but I didn't know what to expect from the Lewiston area. We met Clint at the Red Lion and were on our way driving around Lewiston learning about the local history in between stops at some fantastic wineries hidden amongst the hills of the Snake and Clearwater river valleys. I guess I wasn't expecting the wine to be as good as it was but that is one assumption I am happy to say was mistaken. I really think the wine industry is just on the verge of taking off here and I'm looking forward to taking family on this tour the next time they're in town. read more

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 in the area. read more

October 2018 was my first tour with Clint and our group had such an amazing day we booked our return for April 2019. Another fabulous experience wine tasting with Clint. The relationship Clint has with the wineries/wine makers creates a relaxed personal environment where the feeling is a private tasting offered by friends. Clint treats you to a day where every detail has been thought through, information of the LC Valley AVA is flowing, the food is spectacular (don't miss lunch at Ampersand) and lifetime memories are made. Thank you Clint - we'll be back :-) read more

This wine tour was fun and informative. We visited 6 different wineries and each winemaker was friendly and seemed to enjoy answering any questions we had. Clint, the tour guide and owner, was so knowledgeable about the local area, its history, and knew all about each winery. He entertained us with several great stories and he provided us with top notch customer service. The wines were great and lunch was delicious. Twisted Vine Wine Tours provides an excellent wine tour experience and I highly recommend this tour to everyone. read more

The only way to tour!! This was a WONDERFUL tour. Clint is hospitable, fun, and extremely knowledgeable about the rich history and culture that the LC Valley holds. He told the stories and tidbits in a way that was informative but entertaining.. Our group had a fantastic time and Clint did an excellent job of keeping us on track but allowing us enough time to enjoy each venue. Every detail was thought of- and then some! I highly recommend this tour. We will definitely revisit Twisted Vine when we come back to Idaho! read more

We went on the Ghost Tour with Clint and Garry Bush on Halloween. We had a fantastic time on the tour. Garry started the tour with the history of Morgans Alley and then left us in the hands of the capable Clint. Clint took us to two different locations and just let us explore and experience the creepiness of Halloween night in historic Downtown Lewiston. His historical knowledge of the locations we visited was spot on and just right for this event. I can't wait to go on one of his wine tours! read more

I heard about this wine tour, and wanted an easy way to try out the wineries that we hadn't tried yet. It was great! Not only was Clint, the tour guide, really professional and saw to all of our needs, he was very knowledgeable about the history of the area and, of course, about the wines we tasted. I would definitely go on this tour again, especially since he told us he has an in on two more wineries coming soon! read more

A WORLD CLASS TOUR!!! I had no idea that such a high quality tour was available right here at home. The tour guide was excellent, the information he gave was fun and interesting, and the tour itself was a ton of fun. I have gone on this tour twice now, and it was different each time. I am looking forward to going on it again after the wineries come out with their spring releases. read more
