Portland: Wine Tasting + Vinotherapy Tub Soak at The Wine Spa
Book on Viator →Operated by The Wine Spa · Bookable on Viator
Wine, warmth, and a tub just for you. The Wine Spa in Portland pairs Portland wine tasting with what they call vinotherapy, and it’s one of the few places in the U.S. built around a red-wine soak. It’s also in a relaxed boutique setting that’s been recognized by TIME as one of its 100 Greatest Places to Visit in the United States, so you’re walking into something a bit special.
I really like the flow: first you taste three local Oregon wines, then you choose your favorite and get a full complimentary glass while you hang out with your group. The other big win for me is the vinotherapy tub itself: warm water, minerals, and red wine in a private room, with included self-care products during the 30-minute soak. One possible drawback is the timing—about 1 hour 15 minutes total—so it’s not a long, all-day spa experience.

Key highlights worth planning for

- Only vinotherapy-style spa experience in the U.S. in a casual, boutique Portland setting
- Three Oregon wines plus one full complimentary glass to enjoy during your session
- Your own private tub with warm water, minerals, and red wine (two can fit if requested)
- 30-minute soak with included self-care: body scrub, hydrating lotion, and red wine face mask
- A clean “rinse and reset” ending that makes it easy to keep your day moving
Entering The Wine Spa on NE Broadway
Start at 1517 NE Broadway, Portland, OR 97232. The spot feels intentionally calm, not like a showroom or a fast in-and-out stop. Even before you get to the wine and water part, the atmosphere sets expectations: slow down, settle in, and treat this like a short ritual rather than a rushed tasting.
This is also a private tour/activity, meaning only your group participates. That matters here. You’re tasting, chatting, and soaking in your own time window, without having to share the experience space with strangers.

Three local Oregon wines to set the mood

Your experience starts with wine tasting—three Oregon wines total. You’ll be offered a choice, and your table time is built for deciding what you like before the soak begins. In my session, the lineup included a Pinot Gris, a red blend, and a sparkling wine—pretty classic Oregon styles, and a good mix so you’re not stuck with just one flavor track.
Then comes the part I’d plan around if you’re picky: you pick your favorite, and you get a full complimentary glass while you socialize with your group. That turns the tasting into something more than sampling. You get to enjoy one style you actually chose, at a comfortable pace, right before the vinotherapy portion.
One practical note: transportation isn’t included. If you’re hopping around Portland that day, it’s worth arranging a simple route so you can arrive relaxed and leave feeling the same.
Your private vinotherapy room and the red-wine soak

Next you move into your private vinotherapy room. Each participant gets their own tub filled with warm water, minerals, and red wine. The tub is designed to support relaxation, increase circulation, and relieve stress—exact claims aside, the main thing you’ll notice is the warm, soakable comfort. It’s hard to think clearly when you’re off your feet and surrounded by heat and stillness.
You can soak for 30 minutes. During that time you apply included products at your own pace: a body scrub, hydrating lotion, and a red wine face mask. The pacing is gentle on purpose. You’re not being marched through steps like a car wash. You’re choosing when to scrub, when to rinse off in-tub, and when to let the mask sit.
If you’re traveling with someone, there’s also an option to fit two guests in one tub at the same time if requested. That’s not the default, but it’s good to know if you want a more shared vibe in the room.
How the included self-care works (and what to expect)

The included products are part of what makes this better than a simple spa soak. You’re not just lowering yourself into warm water; you’re actively using a scrub and mask designed to pair with the vinotherapy theme.
Here’s what’s included:
- Grape Glow body scrub
- Hydrating lotion
- Red wine face mask
- Water
I like that they give you everything you need inside the experience. No guessing about what to buy, and no scrambling for basics mid-session.
Timing matters too. With a 30-minute soak, you get just enough time for a scrub-and-mask moment, without turning it into a half-day commitment. If you tend to overthink routines, this is friendly. You follow the cues you’re given, then work at your pace within the set soak window.
Also, because everything is included, you can focus on comfort. If your skin tends to feel dry, the hydrating lotion step is especially relevant. If your focus is pure relaxation, the face mask moment gives you a visual and sensory break—sit back, breathe, and let the heat do its job.
Rinse off and keep enjoying Portland

After your soak, you rinse off in your tub and then head back to the meeting point. That makes the experience easy to plan into a bigger day. You’re not stuck waiting for hours, and you’re not dealing with the kind of slow checkout process that can eat your afternoon.
If you’re mapping your schedule, think of this as a “reset” stop. Wine tasting first warms you up socially, then the soak cools your nervous system down a notch. When you’re done, you’re ready to walk Portland streets with a lighter head.
Snacks aren’t included, though there is charcuterie available for pre-order with 48 hours notice. If you want that extra food add-on, plan ahead. If you don’t, you won’t feel like you’re missing a full meal since the main structure is wine + soak + rinse.
Price and value: is $99 worth it?

At $99 per person, this isn’t priced like a budget tasting. But it also isn’t just a bottle-and-a-flight situation. You’re paying for two distinct experiences in one appointment: wine tasting (three wines plus a full complimentary glass) and a private vinotherapy soak (30 minutes) with built-in self-care products.
In value terms, I look at what’s truly “included” versus what you’d otherwise pay for separately:
- You get wine tasting plus a full glass of your chosen favorite.
- You get the spa ritual: tub time, warm water, minerals, and red wine.
- You get the scrub, lotion, and face mask, plus water.
That combination is why the price can make sense for the right person. If you love wine and you also like structured self-care, you’re effectively getting both in one ticket. If you mainly want one of the two—just wine, or just spa time—then you might judge the value differently.
One more value point: the appointment is designed to be private for your group. Privacy adds real comfort here, especially in a setting built around relaxation and skin care.
Who should book this Portland wine spa (and who might not)

This experience fits best if you want something unique that still feels low-pressure. You’ll probably love it if you:
- enjoy wine tasting and want Oregon pours in a guided setting
- like the idea of a private soak rather than a crowded spa room
- want included body care without doing extra prep
It may not be your match if you’re sensitive to the wine theme. Red wine is part of the tub experience and also part of the face mask step. If that’s a hard no for you, skip it and look for a more traditional spa alternative.
It also helps to match your expectations to the length. At about 1 hour 15 minutes total, this is a short wellness stop. It won’t replace a full day of spa services, but it can upgrade your day in a way that sticks.
Should you book the Portland Wine Tasting + Vinotherapy Tub Soak?

Yes—if you want a Portland activity that’s genuinely different from the usual wine tasting circuit, and you’re excited by the idea of a private 30-minute vinotherapy soak with included self-care products. The fact that it’s private for your group makes it feel more like a personal ritual than a public attraction.
I’d especially recommend booking if you like both sides of the pairing: wine first, then a warm, mineral-and-red-wine tub where you can slow down. If you’re the type who hates rushing and you value comfort, this is the kind of ticket that can improve how the rest of your day feels.
