McMinnville Wine Loop |
![]() |
Enjoy a ride through the McMinnville countryside, where you’ll roll past vineyards, creeks, and farmland views. Some moderate hills add to the challenge, and stops can be made at multiple winery locations and Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum. End your ride in McMinnville’s Granary District, where Grain Station Brew Works will make sure you’re refreshed after your ride.
If you’re looking for a ride that balances effort with reward, this may be the route for you. You’ll have plenty of opportunities to stop, as you’ll be passing by multiple wineries as well as the Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum.
Start your ride in McMinnville’s Granary District, where Grain Station Brew Works can make sure you’re refreshed before or after your ride. If you have any gear or repair needs, or just love the atmosphere of great bike shops, first stop by Tommy’s, just a few blocks away on 3rd Street in downtown.
You’ll begin with a counter-clockwise circumnavigation of McMinnville proper; in the first three miles you’ll pass by Wortman Park, Michelbrook Country Club and Discovery Meadows Community Park.
Then it’s out of town. Along the way, consider a brief side trip down McCabe Chapel Road (on the left just before mile 9) to see this historic building that’s been an active church since 1886. You’ll also go by the entrance to Maysary Winery, one of Oregon’s many fine pinot noir wineries.
After you pass the McMinnville Airport around mile 32, you’ll enjoy a final diversion off the main road, as well as the chance to stop by the Evergreen Museum, home of the fabled “Spruce Goose.”
When you finish up a few miles later, you’ll also have easy access to the bustling downtown district. By now you should have worked up a good appetite and/or thirst – and McMinnville has a bevy of options for you.
