$25 for Vineyard Tour and Wine Tasting for Four ($85 Value)

After visitors sip samples of three wines each during a wine tasting, they depart on a winery tour. Guests then retire to a private table on a deck that overlooks the estate's vineyards to share share a plate of cheese, fruits, and chocolates.

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: Translating Shakespeare

While the works of Shakespeare are undeniable classics of what then passed for the English language, modern audiences find them daunting and often require editions where present-day translations are provided. Here are a few clarified excerpts:

  • "A rose by any other name would smell as sweet." Modern Translation: Rose petals being a medieval delicacy, traveling grifters would use actual rose oil to mask the smell of rotting cabbage leaves in order to dupe peasants out of their farthings.

  • "All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players. They have their exits and their entrances; and one man in his time plays many parts." Modern Translation: It is considered socially acceptable to do different voices throughout your work day, and don and lose police hats or construction helmets you happen upon.

  • "'Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all." Modern Translation: If your doddering husband wanders off at the mall, you’ll both find somebody new. I mean, it’s the mall.

  • "Brevity is the soul of wit." Modern Translation: It’s seriously very important to be brief. It’s bad to not be that. One time I was at the grocery store and asked this old guy I played poker with how he was doing. Well he went on and on about some used car deal that didn’t work out in his favor. I mean, I’m just trying to buy some cereal that tastes like candy. The kind with the bird who can’t believe that the cereal tastes like candy. The point is, never trust a bird about cereal.

  • "Cry 'Havoc,' and let slip the dogs of war." Modern Translation: Are you ready for some football?

What year did football replace Shakespeare?
