Granted that this is high season, but we were passed by at least 100 cars, trucks, trailers and large trolley cars. I called the office prior to making reservations and asked specifically about the bike path to the falls. I was lead to believe that it was very tame and safe--no mention of all the traffic and vehicles. We were not prepared for the narrow road with no bike lanes and often no guard rails on very scary drop offs. Two of our four riders were terrified after a couple of close calls with traffic necessitating we all turn back early. They would have never signed up had they known what they were getting into. Not everyone is a daredevil and you need to be straight forward in fairly describing the risk of your shared road.

Dont worry about being an avid cyclist, the route is chosen so that people of all levels can participate and thoroughly enjoy the ride on the E-bikes. Your day includes vineyards, orchards and fruit stands. If you decide to purchase a case of wine, don't fret, the shuttle will pick that up for you so you can continue on your E-bike. While I've driven these roads so many times, seeing the landscape at a slower pace really immerses you in the magical scenery.

Adams, and the idyllic Hood River. Normally a DIY traveler, I can say with complete confidence that the decision to book with MountNbarreL is worth it, whether you are a resident or visitor escaping into the sun-soaked beauty of Hood River wine country. My husband and I took the Original Oak Grove (OG) Tour. Ali, the owner, greeted us with mango kombucha and bottled water and set us up with comfortable, well-tuned cruisers. The bikes are outfitted with deep handlebar baskets to hold any vintage gems you find in the historical Oak Grove Store and clever wine bottle baskets on the back. The route is carefully chosen to be accessible for all levels of cyclists, and if you decide you must have a case of that amazing Viento Riesling, fear not - MountNbarreL's shuttle can pick up purchases on the way so you don't have to take everything with you. The details took this day to the next level. Ali and Sydney bookend the group while cycling so you can enjoy the scenery and views safely. We were pampered with treats throughout, like a charcuterie plate to go with our Italian-style wine tasting at Marchesi and lunch and snacks from Farm Stand in the Gorge (a local cafe and artisanal grocer) while picking blueberries and enjoying a private tour of Phelp's Creek vineyards. What struck me most is that Ali really partners with local wineries and businesses and is an integral part of the Hood River community. This really shows in her deep knowledge of the local wineries, and the warm reception and hand-selected tastings at each stop. I can't imagine a better way to experience Hood River!

I rarely leave reviews, but our experience on this wine tasting tour in Hood River, Oregon, was so…read morebad that I feel compelled to warn others. We were overcharged for what was advertised as a curated, prepaid wine tour -- yet what we got was the complete opposite. Our driver, Lisa, was completely unprepared and clearly had no idea what she was doing. She didn't even realize that one of the wineries she was supposed to take us to was closed. That alone shows a total lack of planning or professionalism.  Lisa failed to communicate with the wineries ahead of time (which was supposed to be part of her job), and it was obvious she hadn't done any due diligence for our scheduled stops. The entire tour felt like it was being thrown together on the spot, and for the price we paid, that's simply unacceptable. I wouldn't recommend this tour to anyone -- not tourists, not locals, not even casual wine drinkers. There are so many great experiences to be had in the Hood River area. This just isn't one of them!

I went in with my family to buy a helmet for my son and went up to ask "the guy at the counter" if the fit was right. He took a look and shared his insight that it looked a little big, but the other cheek pads could help. He walked back with us and spent time walking us through the helmet and adjusted the pads to get the right fit. He stayed with us and did an amazing job working to connect with my kids (about martial arts, and why protective gear makes a lot of sense when riding). We were then past the time they were closed and he kept answering my questions, helping in a number of different areas. As we were wrapping up, I asked his name and he shared it is Kurt and that he was the owner of the shop and was very complimentary of my family. This was the perfect example of the benefit of a shop where you can go in and tap into the knowledge of the people working there. Make this your next stop for bike gear!
