Join us for willamette riverkeeper’s 6th annual pinot paddle!
July 19 & 20, 2025
REGISTRATION OPENING APRIL 15, 2025
The Willamette Valley, Oregon's largest wine region, brings the perfect balance of temperature, humidity, soil and river recreation. We are excited to announce that Willamette Riverkeeper will hold its 6th Annual Pinot Paddle the weekend of July 19th - 20th, 2025! Experience a weekend of world-class wines and a celebrated National Water Trail.
While Pinot Noir is the Valley’s leading varietal, Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc and some 75 other varietals are also worthy of attention. 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 unique to our own Willamette Valley AVA.

Saturday: A slow and blissful day on the river, meeting new friends and enjoying a paddle on your river from Marine Wallace Park to St. Paul.

WHEN: Saturday & Sunday, July 19th - 20th 2025
WHERE: Salem to St Paul, on the Willamette Water Trail, camping out on Grand Island in Oregon, and paddling 28 beautiful river miles over two days!
