Willamette Valley Wine Tour

All of our Wine Tour Weekends have the same formula: moderate mileage, camp on vineyard properties where possible, wine tasting at camp in the afternoon, and we try to include some fun evening activities. This tour travels through the heart of the Willamette Valley AVA, an area known for its award-winning Pinot Noirs.

This tour will take you through Willamette Valley AVA and the six smaller AVAs within it – Chehalem Mountains, Ribbon Ridge, Yamhill-Carlton, Dundee Hills, McMinnville and Eola-Amity Hills. The ride is a fairly easy ride. The average mileage is only 36 miles per day, which will give us plenty of time to visit local vineyards. The terrain for the most part follows the valley floor, but there are a couple of 500-foot hills on the first full day’s ride.

This tour package includes two nights of lodging in motels, a night of camping at a vineyard, and a night of camping at the fairgrounds next door to a winery.

This tour starts in Banks and proceeds south through the Yamhill and Willamette valleys. The tour finishes up four days later at Champoeg Park.
