SUV Drive March

March 21 @ 9:00 am - 3:00 pm
Free

This drive may have up to 7 miles total of graded gravel total. Please choose your vehicle for these conditions.

This SUV drive will begin at the parking lot of Oak Knoll Golf Course. Restroom facilities will be available to participants, courtesy of Scott and Karla Plumli, owners of the course; please extend your appreciation if you have the opportunity. Additionally, guests are welcome to purchase golf balls and borrow a club to enjoy the driving range prior to departure starting at 9 a.m. The driving range is self-serve otherwise. The ball machine accepts money and credit cards.

Following a 10 a.m. safety meeting, the group will depart traveling over Eola Hills along scenic two-lane roads featuring picturesque curves, elevation changes, views of mountains, vineyards, farmland, and occasional agricultural equipment.

The route will continue west past Bethel Heights and Perrydale, crossing to the south over gravel roads en route to a scheduled rest stop at Dallas City Park, which offers ample parking and restroom facilities.

From Dallas City Park, we will head back to HWY 22, where we will make a LEFT turn onto Smithfield Road and Graded Gravel for ~2 miles to Andante Winery, where the wood-fired grill makes delicious pizza. They also have very nice wine.
