About
Once we turn the E-Bikes on, we have Mount Hood in our view. Arriving atop the hill outside of Odell, Oregon, our first stop has double mountain views (Mount Adams & Mount Hood) and award winning wines. Here we enjoy fresh bakery sandwiches and seasonal fruit and fabled tales along with the varietals. This location shares the grounds of the Hood River Lavender Farm with 60 varieties of aromatic bliss.
From there we head out to explore more of the 'Fruit Loop' covering some easy miles on quiet country roads, where we have often heard that it "looks and feels like Tuscany".
Next stop is a winery that has been around for 20 years but the fruits of their family labor are enriched into the valley soil for nearly a century. "Come for the wine, stay for the views".
Our final tasting is right next door and back to where we started this tour. The valleys oldest winery along with an award winning cider house and U-pick fruit and flower farm. Bounty awaits..
