DISCOVER THE EXPERIENCE

Design Your Wine Tours With our Experts

With over 25 years of customer service experience at previous career positions, Carolyn realized her passion for helping others as an administrator, corporate trainer and facilitator. This passion for customer service and love for the Willamette Valley led her to open Wheels N Time in 2014, where she not only is a driver, but also a tour guide who enjoys sharing knowledge of the area with locals and visitors alike.

Carolyn has driven residents from the local area and also visitors from England to Anchorage, and from New Zealand to New York. Her roomy and immaculate Toyota Grand Hylander accommodates up to seven passengers. She has been on many adventures, and loves the freedom and promise of the open road.

With deep family roots in Oregon wine country and a McMinnville, Ore. resident for over 20 years, Carolyn knows the area well. Her flawless driving record, friendliness, and professionalism allow passengers to sit back, relax and enjoy the ride.

When not driving her guests to their destination, Carolyn likes to meet friends for coffee, spend time with her grandchildren, develop a new recipe, or explore the Oregon Coast and Columbia River Gorge.

Carolyn was amazing. She helped us plan a wine tasting at 4 different wineries. She picked us up on time in a very comfortable SUV and had all of our reservations in place. She supplied everything we needed during the day i.e. water, chocolates, cell phone power cords etc.

We hired a van to take our 8-person bachelorette party around to three different wineries. Our driver Anna was exceptional! She was so knowledgable, friendly, and punctual. She kept us on schedule as well as provided snacks & water. We had such a great time!

We worked with Carolyn to put together an afternoon wine tour for three couples. She was very easy to work with, very flexible, and had great suggestions for wineries. It was nice that all six of us could participate in the tastings without someone having to serve as the designated driver. And she brought snacks! I would highly recommend Wheels N Time for a great way to visit wineries and see the gorgeous Willamette Valley scenery.

We used Wheels N Time to bring us to dinner nightly and return us back. Carolyn was our driver for both nights. We stayed at the Stoller Estate House. Carolyn was on time both nights, very personable, and even took us on a quick tour of McMinniville on our way to Thistle. I cannot recommend this service enough.

Highly recommended! Pat our driver was top notch and the company was very easy to work with.
