Annual Oktoberfest SUV Drive

Join us for the Annual Oktoberfest SUV drive! This is a leisurely drive through the wine country and West Hills.

The route is all on paved roads. You may join the drive in your SUV or your other favorite Porsche.

The first leg travels on scenic backroads from Beaverton to Carlton Lower Park for a first rest stop. The second leg goes on back roads through the Carlton and Yamhill wine area, then through Cornelius to North Plains for a second rest stop. The third leg leads us up to Skyline in the West Hills , down to Helvetia and then through Bethany towards Forest Heights.
