The Vineyard Tour

The Vineyard Tour has joined the "Great Umpqua Outdoor Days" Labor Day Weekend Event.

Ride... 15, 30, 50, 75 or 100 mile routes
Sip... Enjoy wine tasting at some of the best wineries
Eat... Well stocked rest stops with good food and snacks 

The Vineyard Tour Road Bike Ride is sponsored by Umpqua Velo Cycling Club and offers 5 cycling routes to appeal to riders of all ages and abilities.

Enjoy some River Blendz Coffee and rolls available at the start of the ride. Meet other people like yourself on a back country road in the beautiful Umpqua Valley wine country.

Each route uses scenic lightly traveled rural roads that follow the striking Umpqua River. Cyclist will pass by dozens of vineyards, wineries, forests, fields, and orchards along the way. Enjoy a meal after your ride by Big D's Shedding BBQ catering (Chicken, Ribs and Black Bean Paddies) along with some local craft beer and wine.

You'll be mostly riding on rural roads with very light traffic and good surfaces. The routes have a few miles of roads with medium traffic, but there are generous shoulders. In addition to maps and cue sheets, the roads will be marked with arrows on the pavement. The 15 mile route will have ride leaders along the way to be sure new riders have a good
experience.

All routes will have opportunities to see vineyards AND visit wineries (with wine tasting rooms) without leaving the pavement.  If you wish to visit more wineries, they are listed as OPTIONAL on the cue sheets and are located a short distance off the main route. Most of the winery entrances are half a mile or less off the main route, but do have unpaved driveways.

• Rest stops with great food and snacks
• Well marked routes, ride maps and cue sheets
• Scenic Ride - All routes travel along the Scenic Umpqua River and past vineyards
