Northern Route (Aug. 5 and 19): A moderate to difficult ride, 45 to 52 miles, depending on skill level. Ride through lush vineyards and picturesque countryside, stopping at seven area wineries. Box lunches are served along the way and the day ends at Eola Hills Winery with a salmon BBQ and wine tasting.
Southern Route (Aug. 12 and 26): An easy to moderate ride, again, which highlights the scenic Willamette Valley. You may choose from a 45 mile ride or the longer 70 mile loop.

The rides are supervised by Eola Hills' staff and include a support vehicle to carry wine purchases or give weary guests a lift. Rides start at 8 a.m. and cost is $65 per person.
