Take a walk on the wild side with authentic Willamette Valley wiking adventure.
In the mood to pair wine with something active? Try hiking in wine country, or “wiking.”
In the evening, when the sun goes down, head over to the Woodburn Dragstrip to hear the roar of the raceway and get a vicarious adrenaline fix!
Go with Grand Cru Wine Tours to Johan Vineyards to sip Dag Sundby’s Pinot Gris.
Head to Left Coast Cellars for wild Latitude 45 Pinot Noir and to wander their 9-mile trail through wildflowers and an oak savannah, and nibble savory bread pudding pie made with sundried tomatoes from their cafe.
Head over to breezy Van Duzer Vineyards to drink up sunshine, see raptors riding the thermals and sip winemaker Jerry Murray’s delicious wines.
 End your hiking trip at Baskett Slough National Wildlife Refuge to see migrating birds. Don't forget to toast a great day of wiking!
Book a stay at the Red Lion Hotel and dine at the adjoining Willamette Valley Grill for the night.
