McMinnville, in the heart of Oregon’s wine country was the home of the 2008 edition of the Northwest Tandem Rally. We gathered over the 4th of July weekend for a festival of Tandem riding through the heart of the scenic Willamette Valley. McMinnville is home to plenty of attractive destinations, including the famous Spruce Goose.
