We'll take you in our van beyond Portland’s urban growth boundary and out into the fresh air, wide open skies and relaxing vistas of Oregon Wine Country. Only 45 minutes from Portland, the communities of Newberg and Dundee are home to world-class wineries and some especially good Pinot Noir. While the scenery of the Yamhill valley unfolds you'll learn a little about the history and geology of the area as we pass through the farms where the first immigrants in the region settled over 150 years ago.
We'll park the van in the heart of the original wine growing region in the Willamette Valley and ride our bikes on quiet and picturesque country lanes past wonderful landscapes, century-old farms, contented cows, prancing horses and some of Oregon's best wineries. Pleasantly relaxed from our exertions riding through the rolling hills we’ll hop back in the van and go straight to the top of the hills for some world-class wine tasting and stirring vistas before heading back to Portland.
Drinks and snacks provided. Wine tasting fees ($5-10 per winery) not included.
