WHAT TO EXPECT
Combining our signature daily tour with one of Oregon's newest AVA=Columbia Gorge. This tour is ripe for the tastings and the views.
Ter·roir
/terˈwär/ (/tɛˈrwɑːr/,French; from terre, "land")
The complete natural environment in which a particular wine is produced, including factors such as the soil, topography, and climate.
We will meet in Hood River at Sol Rides headquarters, 13 Oak St, Hood River, Oregon, and begin our tour from there. Saddle up and turn the e-bikes on to make our way east into the Twin Tunnels of the Historic Highway (no vehicles) and enjoy the peaceful open space of the Gorge. Thirsty for adventure, our destination is Mosier, Oregon, and the 2 wineries that share a similar AVA (Columbia Gorge) but havedifferent sun and wind exposure. Each has their own unique character in taste and terroir that our host will share into every pour.
