Another biking route for all levels of cyclists is the 14-mile McMinnville Wine Loop (this is one of the biking routes that includes our own winery—Youngberg Hill and our sister winery Bailey Family Wines). This loop takes you through the McMinnville AVA, expect a few hills that will make you break a sweat.
The McMinnville Riverside Drive starts and ends at the picturesque Joe Dancer Park. This 7-mile loop is perfect for a relaxing evening ride to see the sights of the area.

Moderate biking routes near our Willamette Valley Bed and Breakfast:

To view the ancient 90-ton boulder try the 18.4 mile McMinnville Erratic Rock Ride. This is one of the biking routes that could be a bit trickier for the novice riders due to the elevation. When you do make it up to the hill top though, the view will be worth the sore muscles.
This 26-mile biking route goes right by Youngberg Hill and Bailey Family Wines. The Muddy Valley Wine Ride explores the McMinnville AVA and is just the right amount of hard for the medium experienced riders.
You can make a full day of activities by bike on the Evergreen Museum-Grand Island Loop. Just over 30 miles, you could include a stop at the Evergreen Aviation and Space Museum, pit stops at area wineries and a bite to eat in Dayton, Oregon.

For the bravest of the wine country cyclists biking routes:

The McMinnville Peavine Climb is a tough 40-mile adventure with elevation of 2,500 plus with steep hills to match. Thankfully, the hardest part of your ride is near the beginning, as the last half is relatively flat. Let us pamper you at our Willamette Valley Bed and Breakfast after this biking route.
Add on miles to the McMinnville Wine Loop for a most challenging route tough incline hills and winding roads. The town of Amity is about half-way through this 46-mile route. Stop off there to recharge with lunch and a flight of some Oregon Pinot.
