The Experience

CYCLE THROUGH THE VINEYARDS 2025   Temecula Sunrise Rotary (a 501c3 nonprofit) is again celebrating Spring in the beautiful Temecula Valley Wine Country on Sunday May 3rd with our annual CYCLE THROUGH THE VINEYARDS 2026! And for our past participants, 2026 brings exciting changes! For the first time LORIMAR Vineyards will be our host venue for the start/finish, post-ride celebration and raffle! And we are again excited to award a raffle grand prize drawing of an AVENTON E-BIKE from AVENTON BIKES! And our local AVENTON dealer Bicycle Warehouse of Temecula has upgraded the ebike and warranty coverage to bring the value of this ebike to over $2,500!  Secondly, we will again offer a shorter scenic guided tour route of 13 miles for our intermediate riders. While there is no way to totally avoid the challenges of the vineyards naturally hilly terrain, the shorter route is designed to better accomodate some of our intermediate level participants.  Lorimar Winery is a popular local winery known for its daily live entertainment and is nestled amongst the gentle vine covered rolling hills in the heart of Temecula Wine Country. They will be offering discounts on their wines (both flights and bottles) and food for our ride participants! We are confident that our riders and guests will find LORIMAR Winery a great venue to hold our post ride “happy hour”! This year we will also be celebrating AMERICA 250 and have a fun filled experience planned for our participants! We are truly fortunate to have such a picturesque location for our Cycle Through the Vineyards this year.
