One of the most spectacular wine regions in the country is in our own backyard.
Walla Walla is nestled in the foothills of the Blue Mountains and is home to over 100 vineyards and wineries. It is where wine country, scenic beauty, bicycle adventures and small town hospitality intersect.
And we’re offering you an opportunity to experience it first hand with our Walla Walla Bicycle Weekend raffle. This package, good for two people and valued at $540, is for the weekend of June 20 & 21, 2014 and includes:
- A two-night stay at the Inn at Blackberry Creek, a bed and breakfast retreat with rolling lawns, tall shade trees, and a spring fed stream. Once a Victorian farmhouse built in 1906, the Inn has been lovingly restored to its original beauty and offers three spacious guest rooms. It’s a perfect place to launch your bicycle adventures and is just steps away from historic Pioneer Park.

I rode the Ann Weatherill last year on the short route; my husband did the long one. Gorgeous, peaceful riding and a fun, friendly ride thanks to the Wheatland Wheelers–not to be missed.
We ate at Saffron and it was incredible. Impeccable service and outstanding food. The day after the ride we biked to several wineries for tasting and explored the area. The weekend made a wonderful getaway.
If you do this once you’ll want to make it an annual tradition.
