Join us for a rare opportunity to ride through the vines! Covering 5-7 miles of rolling dirt roads and single track trails, your guide will lead you by mountain bike through Forty-Five North Winery’s picturesque vineyard landscapes. Rolling through the vines you will be able to witness the grapes ripening first hand as well as experience stunning views of their vineyards and the surrounding orchards.

From vines to wines. Start the day by learning the different stages of the vineyard season, from bud brake to harvest. See the steps that go into their award wining wines. Roll back to get an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour of Forty-Five North's Winery. Pick, taste and savor your favorite wines. Finally, conclude the day with a delicious, catered picnic lunch while over looking a spectacular view of the vineyards.

It’s not everyday a winery open’s up their doors to biking, but the Forty-Five North property is so beautiful they can't help but share it with you. This is truly a special adventure that is not to be missed!
