Wine Country Slow Ride 2019

On Sunday August 11th we met at Water Avenue Coffee for breakfast before taking 23 people on a scenic 150 mile trip into Oregon Wine Country where we enjoyed private tastings of delicious wines, snacks, and even a catered taco lunch from Martha’s Tacos at Remy Wines, Adelsheim Vineyard, and Roots Wine Company where we ended the ride with delicious cookies from Newberg Bakery. In between stops we carved up twisty farm roads, took in beautiful views, breathed the fresh air, and enjoyed pure Vespa camaraderie.

Here are a few memories from the day. Maybe we’ll do this, or something similar, again next year. If these kinds of rides are something you’d like to be part of, message us and let us know! For longer distance rides you’ll need at least a 125cc bike. If you’ve been riding a 50cc for awhile, maybe it’s time to take the endorsement class through Team Oregon and step up.

Lastly, thank you so much @vestelletravel for helping plan this event over the past 6 months. Your hard work lead us to an incredible day out in the countryside!
