(Note that this trip is completely separate from the Blood Mountain sunset hike on the same day.) After the hike, some of us will head to the nearby Wolf Mountain Vineyard for an optional wine tasting. The tasting room has beautiful vineyard and mountain views. The tasting costs $10 without tip. There is no dress code, but you'll feel more comfortable if you bring some spare clothes. Jeans and fleece are fine. | |||||||

Carpool Cost: | Estimated cost per vehicle for this event is $58.00 using a reimbursement rate guideline of $0.400 per mile. The total amount should be divided by the number of people in the vehicle, including the driver. This is a guideline, not a rule, for drivers but the cost should not be higher unless there are extenuating circumstances. | ||||||
Notes: | |||||||
Are dogs permitted? Yes, but only a limited number. They should be well behaved and be able to go 7 miles. Please e-mail the trip leader if you plan to bring your dog. Will this event occur rain or shine? We will cancel the hike if it looks like there will be medium to heavy rains. I’ll e-mail everyone the day before the hike about the current status. We will group people together at the carpool according to their preference for attending the optional wine tasting. The wine tasting will involve only light consumption, due to the hard hike and the drive home. * We encourage all members to follow our Etiquette Guidelines while participating in AOC events. | |||||||
Cancellation/Partial Attendance: Please review the AOC cancellation policy. |
