The Fine Print

In a proper tasting, wine must be held up to the light to gauge its color, tossed on a cat's back to judge its acidity, and sipped through a crazy straw to annoy the host. Become the toast of any tasting with today's Groupon to LaVelle Vineyards. Today's deal is valid at LaVelle's winery in Elmira or its Tasting Room in downtown Eugene. Each option also receives an additional 20% off gift shop discount. Choose between the following options:

  • For $20, you get an executive tasting for two (a $50 value), which includes the following:

    • Wine tasting for two
    • Cheese, fruit, and chocolate pairing plate
    • Two glasses of wine
    • Two logo-emblazoned glasses

  • For $30, you get a private group tasting for up to 10 people with the winemaker, including a barrel tasting and winery tour (if used at the Elmira winery location) (a $75 value).

The grape gurus at LaVelle Vineyards share sippings of their award-winning wines during tastings and tours. Within the winery's Old World–style tasting room or at the downtown Tasting Room, patrons partake of samples from a lineup of eight or more different wines from the Willamette and Columbia Valleys, discussing their aromas, palate-piquing flavors, and carpet redecorating potential. Drinking duos couple their potations with mouth-moistening morsels from a cheese, fruit, and chocolate pairing plate, and after the tasting they can relish in a full glass of wine and a pair of logo-emblazoned glasses to take home.

Teams of tasters can opt for the private group tasting to scrutinize the character, body, and career ambitions of wizened grape juice alongside friends or family. Afterward, for those who choose to redeem their Groupon at the Elmira location, a resident winemaker shepherds guests on a tour of the winery—whose finished barrel tables, stained-cedar, and Pacific stonework evoke the feeling of a northwest lodge. Weather permitting, visitors can venture outdoors to meander through the tranquility-infused labyrinth or step onto the outdoor deck to catch views of the 16-acre vineyard, Fern Ridge Lake, and grape-hungry flying squirrels masquerading as clouds.

LaVelle Vineyards

The accolades accorded several of LaVelle Vineyards' wines in the pages of Wine Enthusiast magazine serves as evidence of the diligent work of founder Doug LaVelle and his son, Matthew, who tends the vines today. After taking over the winery—then one of the oldest in Southern Willamette Valley—in 1994, Doug took it upon himself to make a number of improvements to its antiquated technology and distribution network. He started the wine club in 1995, the same year winemaking began, and also opened the LaVelle Wine Bar and Bistro—now known as the Tasting Room—in downtown Eugene.

Doug's investments paid off. Today, with Matthew as lead winemaker, the winery ferments grapes both from its original Willamette Valley location and another site in the Columbia Valley in eastern Washington. The Eugene tasting room still pours out pinots, merlots, and syrahs. And at the rustic Elmira winery, visitors can recline on the sunny deck, tour the winemaking facilities, or outsmart tipsy minotaurs in the garden's labyrinth.

The Groupon Guide to: Bodily Systems

Our bodies are more than just the beastly vessels our souls must live in—they are complex systems of muscle, bone, and smells that work together so that we can go to our jobs, eat our food, and use our toilets. Learn more about the bodily systems that make it all possible:

The Nervous System: Transmitters all over your body send messages to your brain so that you know whether you're feeling hot, cold, or all of the blood draining out of your right leg.

The Digestive System: This unfair part of your body converts vegetables into energy but turns all good-tasting foods into fat and compressed air.

The Circulatory System: Your body is a factory of hot juices. The circulatory system keeps these juices moving so you stay at the comfortable and healthy temperature of freshly cooked soup.

The Skeletal System: The core of your being is a bunch of hollow, brittle sticks that future species will dig up and use to guess what you looked like when you still had skin and dignity.

What is the temperature of the human body food-wise?
