Following the ride, enjoy wine tasting and an al fresco lunch with wine catered by The Picnic Guild

Next, drive to Silver Mountain for tasting with a tour of the organic vineyards and Silver Mountain's "Triple Green Canopy" solar array that meets all their energy requirements, shades winery operations, and collects rainwater for reuse.
