Michael G. Thomas
(1944-2015)
Wine Tours Northwest
Mike and Carol Thomas founded Wine Tours Northwest after Mike retired from successful careers as a teacher, lumber trader, and as a representative of World’s Finest Chocolate. He often said that operating Wine Tours NW was by far the most satisfying and enjoyable job he had. He had great satisfaction in meeting folks from around the USA and world and introducing them to Oregon’s beautiful wine country.
Thomas was born in Birmingham, Alabama and graduated from Auburn University. Michael Thomas passed away February 9 2015.
Carol Thomas and family continue to operate Wine Tours NW.
