A private wine tour with us is a chauffeured day in the Dundee Hills, the wider Willamette Valley or the Columbia River Gorge, with pickup at your door in Portland, Vancouver WA or anywhere in the metro and a chauffeur who waits at every tasting room. You choose the wineries and the pace, we handle the driving, and nobody in the group has to stay sober to get everyone home. We are an owner operated chauffeur, black car and limousine service, available 24 hours a day and seven days a week, with executive sedans, luxury SUVs and Mercedes Sprinter vans for up to fourteen guests.
How a chauffeured wine tour works
A chauffeured wine tour works as an hourly booking: the vehicle and chauffeur are yours from the first pickup to the last drop off, and the day follows your plan rather than a fixed package. You book the tasting rooms you want, or ask us to suggest a route, and we time the drive between each stop so you arrive when your reservation starts. Between tastings the chauffeur waits with the vehicle, the cases you buy go in the cargo area, and at the end of the day everyone is driven home together. Most groups visit three or four wineries in a day, which leaves time for lunch without rushing a single pour.
Wine tour black car transport is the same service in a smaller vehicle, and it is how many couples and small groups prefer to travel. An executive sedan seats two to three and a luxury SUV seats four to six, both with a discreet chauffeur and room for the bottles you take home, while the Mercedes Sprinter carries seven to fourteen for birthdays, bachelorette weekends and company outings. The only difference that matters on the road is alcohol, because open bottles are allowed only in the Sprinter, so groups who plan to taste between stops should book it. Every vehicle is reserved for your group alone, with no shared seats and no strangers on board.

Choosing the vehicle comes down to two questions: how many people are coming, and whether anyone wants to open a bottle on board. Size up when the group is close to a vehicle's limit, because every case you buy needs room in the cargo area at the end of the day, and a full SUV with six guests and their purchases is a tighter ride home than the same group in a Sprinter. If the group is split between drinkers and non drinkers, the Sprinter still makes sense, because nobody has to wait for the next stop to share a bottle.
Vancouver WA wine tours
Vancouver WA wine tours start at your door anywhere in Vancouver WA, and both of the wine regions we drive to are an easy run from there. The Columbia Gorge is closer from Vancouver WA than from downtown Portland, because the route heads east without crossing the city, while a Willamette Valley day runs southwest across the river toward Newberg and the Dundee Hills. Every Vancouver WA trip uses the same vehicles, the same hourly booking and the same Sprinter-only alcohol policy, and the rest of what we do across the river is on our Vancouver WA black car and limo service
page.
Vancouver WA wine tour black car transport
Vancouver WA wine tour black car transport means a private executive sedan or luxury SUV with a chauffeur, booked by the hour, for couples and small groups who want a quiet, comfortable day in wine country rather than a loud group outing. Your chauffeur collects you at home or at your hotel in Vancouver WA, drives to the first tasting room, waits at each stop and brings everyone home at the end. A sedan seats two to three and an SUV seats four to six, and both carry the bottles you buy, though open alcohol is not allowed in either of them.
Vancouver WA wine tour private transport
Vancouver WA wine tour private transport for larger groups usually means the Mercedes Sprinter, which seats seven to fourteen and keeps the whole group in one vehicle for the day. It is the choice for birthdays, bachelorette weekends, reunions and company outings that start in Vancouver WA, and it is the only vehicle where guests may open their own bottles behind the partition between the driver and the cabin. Private means exactly that: the vehicle is reserved for your group alone, with no shared seats, no other pickups and no fixed itinerary.
Routes from Vancouver WA
Routes from Vancouver WA depend on the region you choose, and your chauffeur plans the crossings so the day starts smoothly. For the Columbia Gorge, the run crosses the Columbia River and heads east on I-84 along the Oregon side, and a Gorge day can also cross back into Washington for tasting rooms on the north bank. For the Dundee Hills, the route crosses the river and runs southwest through the Portland metro toward Newberg. Pickups at more than one address in Vancouver WA, or one in Vancouver WA and one in Portland, fit into the same booking.
A typical Vancouver WA wine day
A typical Vancouver WA wine day starts with a mid morning pickup at home, a first tasting before lunch, a lunch stop and two more tastings in the afternoon, with everyone home by early evening. For a Gorge day the first stop comes sooner, because the drive east is shorter from Vancouver WA, while a Dundee Hills day spends a little longer on the road at each end. Either way, the chauffeur and vehicle stay with the group from the first pickup to the last drop off, and the timing adjusts if the group wants to stay longer somewhere.
Dundee Hills wine tours
The Dundee Hills are the closest major wine area to Portland, about 28 miles southwest of the city near Newberg, which makes them the natural choice for a half day or a relaxed full day. The appellation covers about 6,490 acres of ridges that rise from the 200 foot contour line to 1,067 feet, and its red volcanic Jory soil is what most visitors notice first in the vineyards. Rain falls at roughly 30 to 45 inches a year, mostly outside the growing season. Because the tasting rooms sit close together on the hills, the Dundee Hills fit more stops into a day than anywhere else this close to Portland.
Why the Dundee Hills fit more stops
The Dundee Hills fit more tasting rooms into a day than any other region this close to Portland because the wineries sit close together on a compact set of ridges, so the drive between stops is often only a few minutes. That leaves more of the day for tasting and less for the road, and it means a half day can still include two or three estates. The hills also give most tasting rooms a view across the valley, which is a large part of why a slow afternoon here feels different from a stop on the valley floor.
The Newberg-Dundee Bypass
Getting to the Dundee Hills is easier than it used to be, because the Newberg-Dundee Bypass opened on January 6, 2018. The Oregon Department of Transportation built about four miles of new Highway 18 to pull through traffic off Highway 99W and out of the centers of Newberg and Dundee, so your chauffeur can skip the slowest part on the way back to Portland when the day ends. That matters most on a summer Saturday, when 99W through town fills with visitors. We use the bypass or the town route depending on which tasting rooms you are visiting and the time of day.
The bypass matters most at the end of a wine day, when the last thing a group wants is to sit in traffic through two small town centers. Your chauffeur chooses between the bypass and the older route along Highway 99W based on the order of your tasting rooms, the time and the traffic that day, because some estates are easier to reach from the town route and others from the bypass. Either way, the drive between the Dundee Hills and Portland is usually short enough that a group can plan a relaxed dinner back in the city after the last stop.
Wineries worth planning around
The six wineries below are a starting point for a Dundee Hills day, chosen because each has one thing that makes it memorable, and together they make a natural loop around Dundee and Newberg. You book the tastings directly with each estate, because each sets its own reservations and group sizes, and we plan the route between them. Tell us the estates you have booked when you reserve, and we will put them in the order that makes the drive easiest and leaves time for lunch.
LucidWild Estate
LucidWild Estate is an adults-only estate in the Dundee Hills, with tasting terraces set high above its single vineyard, and it is the winery that wrote one of the few published guides to getting around the Dundee Hills without driving yourself. That guide explains why rideshare is unreliable here and why booking transportation ahead matters for a day with several stops. Plan time to linger, because the views are the point; you can learn more and reserve a tasting directly with LucidWild Estate.
Argyle Winery
Argyle Winery sits right on Highway 99W in Dundee and is known for its sparkling wines, which makes it a natural first stop of the day or a final toast on the way home. Because it is in town rather than up in the hills, it is also the easiest stop to fit around the others, and it works well when a group wants to start with something light before moving on to Pinot Noir. Its spot on the main road also makes it a quick stop on a busy weekend, when the roads up into the hills are at their most crowded.
Lange Estate
Lange Estate is a family winery on a Dundee Hills hilltop, and the drive up to it is part of the experience, with the valley opening out below the tasting room. It suits the middle or end of the day, when a group is ready to slow down and sit with a view, and it pairs well with a lunch stop in Dundee or Newberg before or after. Because your chauffeur waits outside the whole time, nobody has to work out a ride back down the hill, and the visit can run as long as the group wants.
Winderlea
Winderlea farms its vineyards as Certified Biodynamic, so it is a good stop for anyone curious about how farming choices show up in the glass, and it makes an interesting contrast with a more traditional estate on the same day. Biodynamic farming treats the vineyard as one living system, and tasting here is a good way to hear what that means from the people who do it. It sits in the heart of the Dundee Hills, close to several of the other estates on this list, which makes it easy to slot between two other tastings.
Torii Mor
Torii Mor is known for its Japanese garden, which gives a group somewhere beautiful to walk and linger between pours, and it is a natural spot for photographs on a wedding weekend or a birthday. The garden makes it a good choice for the middle of the day, when guests appreciate a break from sitting at a tasting bar. Like the other estates in the hills, it is a short drive from its neighbors, so it fits easily into a three or four stop day without adding much time on the road.
Alexana
Alexana sits in the Dundee Hills near Newberg and makes its wines in a gravity flow winery, a design that moves wine between stages using gravity rather than pumps, which is something wine lovers often ask to see. Its location near Newberg makes it a convenient first or last stop on the way to or from Portland. Larger groups should ask the winery about group bookings well ahead, because estates set their own limits on party size, and we size the vehicle to the group you confirm with them.
Columbia Gorge wine tours
The Columbia Gorge wine region is a full day trip about 60 miles east of Portland on I-84, with the river and the cliffs of the Gorge as the scenery all the way out and back. The appellation runs about 40 miles east from the Cascades along both banks of the Columbia River, straddling Oregon and Washington, and Hood River
is its hub. Vineyards climb from near the river to about 2,000 feet, and rainfall drops from roughly 36 inches a year at the west end to about 10 inches at the high desert east end, so the grape varieties change as you drive east, from cool climate whites toward warmer reds.
A Gorge wine day suits groups who want variety and a scenic drive as much as the tasting itself. Because the region spans two states, a route can start on the Oregon side around Hood River and cross the river to Washington tasting rooms before heading home, and your chauffeur plans the crossings and the timing so the day does not feel rushed. Most groups pick two to four tasting rooms and leave room for lunch in Hood River, where our Hood River car service
page covers trips that start there. If your group is coming from Vancouver WA or the east side of the metro, the Gorge is the shorter of the two wine regions to reach.
The drive out on I-84
The drive out to the Gorge on I-84 is part of the day, with the river on one side and the cliffs and waterfalls of the Gorge on the other, including Multnomah Falls just off the highway. Many groups ask for a short scenic stop on the way out, before the first tasting, and your chauffeur can build that into the timing. On the way home the light over the river in the late afternoon is a good reason not to rush, and because the drive is longer than a Dundee Hills day, we suggest starting earlier in the morning.
Dundee Hills or Columbia Gorge: how they compare
The Dundee Hills and the Columbia Gorge make very different days, and the simplest way to choose is by how much time you have and what you want from the drive. The Dundee Hills are closer, denser and built around Pinot Noir and Chardonnay on volcanic soil, so they suit a half day or a relaxed full day with more stops. The Gorge is further away, spans two states and changes from wet to dry as you head east, so it suits a full day with scenery and variety. The table below sets out the differences side by side.

Other Willamette Valley wine regions
The Dundee Hills are the closest major wine area to Portland, but they are only one of several smaller wine regions inside it, and many groups combine two of them in a day. The Willamette Valley appellation runs from the Portland area south past Salem and Corvallis toward Eugene, so there is wine country within reach of almost every city we serve. The regions below are the ones most often paired with a Dundee Hills day, and your chauffeur can plan a route that crosses from one to the next.
Chehalem Mountains
The Chehalem Mountains rise just north of Newberg, about 19 miles southwest of Portland, and their highest point, Bald Peak, reaches 1,633 feet, the highest point in the Willamette Valley. The region has a mix of volcanic soil, marine sediment and a wind-blown silt known locally as Laurelwood soil, so wines from neighboring vineyards can taste quite different. Because the Chehalem Mountains sit between Portland and the Dundee Hills, a stop here is an easy way to start a day before continuing south to Dundee.
Ribbon Ridge
Ribbon Ridge is a small appellation of about 3,350 acres on a spur of the Chehalem Mountains near Newberg, defined by its uniform marine sedimentary soil and sheltered by the larger hills around it. Its size means the tasting rooms are close together, and it sits only a short drive from the Dundee Hills, so it pairs naturally with a Dundee day. Groups who enjoy comparing wines from different soils often book one stop on Ribbon Ridge and one in the Dundee Hills to taste the difference in a single afternoon.
Eola-Amity Hills
The Eola-Amity Hills
sit northwest of Salem, and their climate is shaped by the Van Duzer Corridor, a gap in the Coast Range that lets cool ocean winds through and drops temperatures sharply on summer afternoons. Their shallow, rocky volcanic soils and those cooling winds give wines with firm acidity, which is why many visitors make the trip. From Portland this is a longer day than the Dundee Hills, but it suits guests staying in Salem or Amity, and it can be combined with a Salem pickup or drop off.
Tualatin Valley
The Tualatin Valley, west of Portland around Hillsboro, is the closest wine country to the city, which makes it a good choice for a half day or for guests who want to taste without a long drive. It pairs well with an afternoon in the Chehalem Mountains on the way south, or with a short day that ends back in Portland in time for dinner. You can compare it with the other regions and pick a tour by region on Go Wine Tasting Tours, then book the vehicle in the booking panel on this page.
Further south toward Corvallis and Eugene
Wine country continues south through the valley toward Corvallis and Eugene, which makes a tasting day possible for guests staying at the southern end of our service area as well. Because the drive from Portland is long, these trips make the most sense when the group is already in the south valley, or when a wine day is combined with a transfer to or from Eugene or Corvallis. Tell us where you are staying and which tasting rooms you have in mind, and we will tell you honestly whether the route makes sense for a single day.
Celebrations and company days in wine country
A wine day is one of the most popular ways to celebrate in Oregon, and birthdays, anniversaries, bachelorette weekends and reunions are the trips we run most often in the Sprinter. Everyone rides together, so the conversation does not split across two or three cars, and the partition means the group can open its own bottles on board while the chauffeur concentrates on the road. We plan the pickups, the order of the tasting rooms and the time for lunch, and if the plan changes during the day, such as an extra stop or a longer lunch, the hourly booking simply covers it.
Company wine days work the same way, whether they are a reward for a team, a day out with visiting clients or an offsite that ends with a tasting. An executive sedan or a luxury SUV suits a small client group, and a Sprinter keeps a team of up to fourteen together, with one booking covering every pickup and the drive home. We plan the route around the tastings you reserve, keep the timing relaxed so nobody feels rushed between pours, and make sure the cases the team buys come home in the cargo area at the end of the day.
Open alcohol in the vehicle
Open alcohol is allowed only in our Mercedes Sprinter vans, because the Sprinter has a partition between the driver's compartment and the passenger cabin, and it is not allowed in our executive sedans or luxury SUVs. Guests bring their own bottles, because we never sell or provide alcohol, and every guest who drinks must be of legal drinking age. If your group wants to open a bottle you bought at the last stop, toast a birthday on the way home or share a glass between tastings, book the Sprinter. If nobody plans to drink on board, a sedan or an SUV is the quieter and more economical choice.
Why only the Sprinter
Open alcohol is limited to the Sprinter because it is the only vehicle in our fleet with a partition between the driver's compartment and the passenger cabin, which separates the chauffeur from the group completely. In a sedan or an SUV the driver and passengers share one cabin, so we do not allow open bottles in them on any trip. The rule is the same whether the trip is a wine tour, a wedding or a night out, and your chauffeur will ask the group to put bottles away in a sedan or SUV if one is opened.
What guests bring
Guests bring their own bottles, because we never sell or provide alcohol, and every guest who drinks must be of legal drinking age. Most groups simply open something they bought at an earlier stop, and many also bring water and snacks for the road, which is a good idea on a long day of tasting. Plan the drinking around the tastings rather than on top of them, because the aim is a group that enjoys every stop and gets home happy, and your chauffeur will always keep the timing comfortable.
Why rideshare does not work for wine country
Rideshare is unreliable in wine country, which is the main reason to book a chauffeur for a tasting day rather than trying to catch rides between wineries. LucidWild Estate's own guide to getting around the Dundee Hills says rideshare is available but limited, especially in the peak season from June through September and in the evenings, and that it is unreliable for a day with several stops. A driver who drops you at a hilltop estate may be the last car you see for a while, and nobody wants to wait outside a closed tasting room for a ride.
A chauffeur solves the problem by staying with the group all day, so there is no searching for a car between stops and no worry about the last ride home. The alternative many groups consider is a designated driver, but that means one person misses the tastings, and the winding roads up to the hilltop estates are not where anyone wants to learn the way. With a chauffeur, everyone tastes, nobody drives and the route is already planned around your reservations.
How many wineries you can visit in a day
Three or four wineries is the right number for most groups on a full day, and two or three is the right number for a half day. Each tasting usually takes about an hour once you arrive, and the drive between stops, a lunch break and the trip to and from Portland fill the rest of the day. More than four tends to rush the pours and blur the memories, so we suggest choosing quality over quantity and leaving time to enjoy the estates you like most.
The region you choose also sets the pace. In the Dundee Hills the tasting rooms sit close together, so four stops are comfortable, while a Columbia Gorge day spends more time on the road between stops and usually fits two to four. If your group wants a long lunch, a walk through a garden or time on a terrace, plan one fewer stop. Tell us your reservation times when you book, and we will confirm whether the day fits or suggest adjusting it before you commit.
Getting your wine home
Getting your wine home is part of the service: the bottles and cases you buy ride in the cargo area, kept upright and out of direct sun, and they come off at your door with you at the end of the day. Tell us roughly how many cases the group expects to buy when you book, because a full Sprinter group can come home with a lot of wine and we size the vehicle to fit. Wine club members can also schedule allocation pickups, either as a stop on a tasting day or as a short run of their own, so the bottles you have already paid for are collected without a separate trip.
Wine in the cargo area rides with the chauffeur for the rest of the day, so nobody has to carry cases from one tasting room to the next. On warm summer days it helps to plan bigger purchases for the last stop, or to ask the winery to hold your cases until the end of the day, so they spend less time on the road. If you are buying more than the vehicle can carry comfortably, let us know before the day, and we will size up the vehicle so nobody ends up holding a case on their lap.
What a wine tour costs and which tour to choose
The cost of a chauffeured wine tour depends on the vehicle, the length of the day and the pickup location, so the most accurate answer is a quote for your actual day in wine country. Enter the date, the first pickup, the number of guests and the hours you expect to need in the booking panel on this page, and the total appears before you confirm, with no account required. Tastings are not part of our price, because you book and pay for them directly with each winery, and the price is for the whole vehicle rather than per guest.
Picking the right kind of wine day is the easiest way to control the cost, and most groups choose between a half day with two wineries, a full day with three wineries and lunch, or a longer celebration day that ends with dinner. Our wine tour planning site, Go Wine Tasting Tours, lays out those tour types and the wine regions side by side, so you can match the day to your group before you reserve. For larger groups, one Sprinter usually replaces two or three smaller vehicles, which keeps the group together and the total simple to split.
When to go
Any time of year works for a wine day, but each season feels different, and the busiest months need the most planning. Spring brings budding vines and new white and rosé releases, summer is dry and warm and the most popular time to visit, and early autumn is harvest, when the vineyards are at their busiest and the hills turn color. Winter is quieter, with fewer crowds and a more relaxed pace in the tasting rooms, which suits small groups who want more time with the people pouring.
Two weekends stand out on the Willamette Valley calendar: Memorial Day weekend, when many wineries hold events to welcome the new season, and the weekend of Thanksgiving, a long running wine country tradition when many tasting rooms host open houses and special tastings. Both are busy, so book the vehicle and the tastings early, and expect the roads around Newberg and Dundee to be fuller than usual. Weekdays are the quietest choice at any time of year, and many groups prefer them for that reason.
Start time matters as much as the date, because tasting reservations are spread through the day rather than the evening, and a morning start leaves room for lunch and an unhurried final stop. For the Dundee Hills, a late morning pickup in Portland usually works well, while the Columbia Gorge needs an earlier start because of the longer drive. Your chauffeur plans the pickup time around your first reservation, so tell us that time when you book and we will work backward from it.
Planning your day
The easiest way to plan a wine day is to book your tasting rooms first and then book the vehicle around them, because many wineries ask groups to reserve ahead and some limit the size of a party. Leave about an hour at each stop and add travel time between them, and three or four wineries with lunch make a comfortable full day. Rideshare is hard to find in wine country, especially in the evening and on busy weekends, which is why a booked chauffeur is the safer plan. For prices, see our current rates, or enter the trip below for a total before you confirm.
Groups coming from different parts of the metro can still travel together, because the chauffeur can collect guests at more than one address before heading out to wine country. A common plan is a pickup in Vancouver WA, a second in Portland and a third in Lake Oswego
or Beaverton, then the drive to Newberg and the first tasting. On the way home the order reverses, so everyone is dropped at their own door. Guests staying at a wine country hotel can be collected there instead, and the first tasting simply starts sooner.
Planning lunch
Lunch is the stop people most often forget to plan, and it is worth booking as carefully as the tastings. Many groups reserve a table in Newberg or Dundee between the morning and afternoon stops, while others arrange food at a winery that serves it. Check before you bring a picnic, because some estates, including LucidWild and Alexana, do not allow outside food at their tasting rooms. Tell us where you are eating when you book, and your chauffeur will build the lunch stop into the route so the afternoon tastings start on time.
Reserve your wine tour
Reserve your wine tour online: enter the date, the first pickup address and time, the number of guests and the hours you need, and the total appears before you confirm, with no account required. Choose the Sprinter if anyone plans to drink on board. If you would rather pick a tour by region first, our wine tour planning site lets you build your own wine tour
region by region and choose your wineries and lunch before you book. The booking panel works at any hour, 24 hours a day and seven days a week, and shows the total for your day before you confirm.
Open alcohol is allowed only in our Mercedes Sprinter vans, which have a partition between the driver's compartment and the passenger cabin, and it is not allowed in our sedans or SUVs. Guests bring their own bottles, because we never sell or provide alcohol, and everyone who drinks must be of legal drinking age. If your group wants to open a bottle on the road between tasting rooms or on the drive home, book the Sprinter, which seats seven to fourteen, when you reserve the day.
How far are the wineries from Portland?
The Dundee Hills are about 28 miles southwest of Portland near Newberg, which is close enough for a half day, while the Columbia Gorge wine region is about 60 miles east on I-84 and suits a full day. Drive times depend on traffic and the time of day, and the Newberg-Dundee Bypass helps on the way back from the Dundee Hills. From Vancouver WA the Gorge is the shorter trip, because the route heads east without crossing the city, and your chauffeur plans the timing either way.
How many wineries can we visit in one day?
Most groups visit three or four wineries in a full day, which leaves about an hour at each tasting room plus the drive between them and time for lunch. The Dundee Hills allow more stops than the Gorge because the tasting rooms sit closer together, while a Gorge day spends more time on the road between stops. We suggest booking your tasting reservations first, then reserving the vehicle for enough hours to cover them without rushing the last pour of the day.
What is the difference between a Dundee Hills and a Columbia Gorge wine tour?
A Dundee Hills tour is shorter and denser, with many tasting rooms close together about 28 miles from Portland on red volcanic Jory soil, while a Columbia Gorge tour is a longer scenic day about 60 miles east with more variety. Rainfall in the Gorge drops from about 36 inches a year at the west end to about 10 at the east end, so the grape varieties change as you travel, and the region crosses the river into Washington. Choose the Dundee Hills for more stops and the Gorge for the scenery.
Do you pick up in Vancouver WA for wine tours?
Yes, we pick up anywhere in Vancouver WA for wine tours, in an executive sedan, a luxury SUV or a Mercedes Sprinter for up to fourteen guests. The Columbia Gorge is closer from Vancouver WA than from downtown Portland because the route heads east on I-84, and a Willamette Valley day runs southwest across the river toward Newberg. Book online in a few minutes, and see our Vancouver WA page for airport rides, weddings and events across the river as well.
Which vehicle should we book for a wine tour?
Book by group size and by whether anyone wants to drink on board. An executive sedan seats two to three and a luxury SUV seats four to six, and neither allows open alcohol, while a Mercedes Sprinter seats seven to fourteen and is the only vehicle where guests may open their own bottles behind the partition. Every vehicle has room for the wine you buy, and if your group is near the limit of a vehicle, size up so there is space for the cases at the end of the day.
Can you carry the wine we buy?
Yes, the bottles and cases you buy ride in the cargo area for the rest of the day and come off at your door at the end, kept upright and out of direct sun. Let us know when you book roughly how many cases you expect, because a large group can buy more than you might think, and we will size the vehicle to fit. Wine club members can also add allocation pickups as stops on the day, so wine you have already ordered is collected on the same trip.
Do we need to book the wineries ourselves?
Yes, please book your tastings directly with each winery, because many tasting rooms ask for reservations and some limit the size of a group. Once you have the times, share them when you reserve the vehicle and we will plan the route and the drive between stops so you arrive on time. If you would like ideas, add a note when you book and we will suggest an order that makes sense for the area you choose, whether that is the Dundee Hills or the Columbia Gorge.
