Discover and explore what we ultimately strive for in a cycling vacation–which is to simply “Pedal Happy”.

Oregon’s Willamette Valley wine region is home to 500+ wineries. Just 45 minutes southwest of Portland, it’s one of the world’s premier Pinot Noir-producing regions, holding 2016’s ‘Wine Region of the Year’ award from Wine Enthusiast Magazine. On this most romantic tour, explore the tranquil back roads, covered bridges, and vineyards of this enchanting area. It’s also ideal for those with differing ability levels or who have limited vacation time. Mouthwatering dining and impeccable lodging, plus a few delightful surprises, make this tour truly special.

Note: Lodging arrangements at Youngberg Hill make this trip ideal for couples or friends willing to share a bed. We will have to charge our Single Supplement fee for anyone traveling solo as there are no rooms with two beds.
