Come on out for Live Music at the Vineyard, where the vines set the stage and the good times come naturally.

At French Valley, we’re pouring wine, beer, and cider in a space that’s made for everyone—families, friends, and anyone looking to kick back and stay awhile."

At Norte Youth Cycling, we believe that riding bikes is for everyone, regardless of gender. However, we also know that many girls prefer to ride with other girls, so we launched our More Girls on Bikes initiative. This opportunity is designed to empower girls (4th grade and up), young women, and women of all ages.
