Looking for a unique way to support clean water, explore your river and indulge your taste buds?

JOIN US for our 6th annual PINOT PADDLE: Saturday, July 25th - 26th!

Location is the key ingredient with wine, which is also true when it comes to selecting your paddling route and camping spot!

We’ve combined the best of both worlds with a weekend itinerary completely original to our own Willamette Valley AVA. Experience a weekend of world-class wines and a celebrated National Water Trail.

Paddling approximately 13.5 miles per day, our private campsite will offer tastings from local wineries, farm-to-table cuisine provided by McMinnville based Biscuit & Pickles catering, and live music!

RENTALS
Canoe rentals are available through Willamette Riverkeeper via our event registration. We will transport your boat, but you must recruit your own paddling partner!

Our friends at Alder Creek Kayak Canoe are offering a special rental price for any of our participants wanting to rent a solo kayak.

Ross Island Cleanup (Saturday 6/6): Cancelled due to weather.

While we tend to hold events rain or shine, the National Weather Service forecast for tomorrow shows a chance of thunderstorms and strong winds throughout our scheduled cleanup. Out of an abundance of caution, we do not want to be on the water or needing to get our group off the water quickly when contending with potentially hazardous conditions. The safety of our community is always our priority.

Thank you for your shared stewardship, support, and understanding. We’ll be working to reschedule and cleanup event soon and hope to see you then!
