Thank You for Making the 17th Annual Dog Days Wine Tour a Success

Thank you to all of our new and returning Dog Days Wine Tour riders for joining us this year. Although the weather forecast initially looked concerning, we were pleasantly surprised with a beautiful sunny day, a little wind, and zero rain during the event.

We also want to thank our Silver Wheels Cycling Club volunteers, Dog Days Wine Tour Chair Jose Morell, our venue host and food caterer Oberlin College, and our wonderful event partners: Matus Winery, Vermilion Valley Vineyards, Redhead Ciderhouse, Paper Moon Vineyards, and the Wakeman Elevator Pit Stop. Your support helped make this 17th annual event a major success.

We were also excited to hear so many positive comments about the new 38-mile route, which was a big hit with many riders.

Thank you again for riding with us, supporting the event, and helping make the Dog Days Wine Tour such a special day.

Take a look at the current photo library of over 311 photos so far, more will be added as we receive them from riders.

Weather, Air Quality, and Participation Notice

The Dog Days Wine Tour 2026 is a rain or shine event and is scheduled to proceed on July 18th 2026. As of Friday morning, the Saturday forecast for Oberlin shows a chance of showers and thunderstorms, with a higher chance of storms later in the day. Air quality is also forecast to improve from current smoke-related conditions, though conditions may still vary during the event. Each rider is responsible for checking current weather and air quality conditions before riding and deciding whether to participate, ride a shorter route, or not ride based on their own health, fitness level, medical conditions, and personal risk tolerance. Riders with asthma, heart or lung conditions, smoke sensitivity, or other health concerns should use extra caution and consult a medical professional if needed. As stated in our event materials, registrations are non-refundable because many event costs are paid in advance.
