Begin in Salem, Oregon, and set out on a six-hour TandemEZ Ride and Wine tour that turns the Willamette Valley’s pinot noir country into an effortless afternoon of pedaling and sipping. The route, offered May 15–Oct 15, delivers rolling vineyard rows, low volcanic and Jory-derived soils that give local pinots their structure, and wide views across farmland and oak savanna. You ride on electric-assist tandem bicycles built for pairs, which makes this less a workout and more a shared, scenic cruise.

A hotel pickup in Salem starts the day; guides deliver tandem e-bikes, helmets, rack bags, and rental insurance before you roll. Support vehicles and trailers shadow the route so couples can ride as much or as little as they like, and mechanical support is on hand. Stops include three to four small wineries where a knowledgeable wine concierge arranges guided tastings of Oregon’s award-winning Pinot Noir and other regional varietals; only guests 21 and older may taste, and non-alcoholic options are provided for younger riders.

The trip is near-flat with occasional gentle grades, making it approachable for intermediate and casual cyclists. Group size is social but intimate—minimum eight, maximum sixteen riders—so you’ll have room to chat without feeling crowded. Lunch and selected tastings are included, and the tour returns you to your Salem hotel with a curated selection of wines if you choose.

What makes this outing stand out in the Willamette Valley is the tandem format itself. Sharing an e-bike changes the rhythm: one person steers while both feel the electric assist, which flattens hills and extends range. That cooperative motion highlights the region’s agricultural character—the neat rows of pinot noir vines, the patchwork of pasture and farm, and the contrast of oak groves against conifered hills.

Expect to see red-tailed hawks drifting above vineyard edges and perhaps black-tailed deer at dawn or dusk. The ride sheds light on local viticulture: from vine spacing to trellis styles and how Willamette’s cooler climate favors delicate, aromatic grapes. Guides weave short cultural notes about the valley’s post-1960s rise as Oregon’s wine heartland and local stewardship practices.

Practical notes: captains must be 18+, stokers need to meet a 4'10" height minimum, and alcohol service is limited to those 21+. The tour balances relaxed activity with curated tasting—perfect for couples, friends, and wine-curious travelers who want a scenic, supported way to experience Oregon’s most celebrated vineyards.

The six-hour itinerary is paced to allow relaxed tastings and photo stops; guides handle logistics and offer inside notes on vineyard practices. Because prices are based on an eight-person minimum, book early for weekend dates. The operator provides a wine tasting concierge and returns you to your Salem hotel with memories and bottles along the way.
