Dear University of Illinois EXPLORERS Alumni, Friends & Family,

We are thrilled to announce a brand new adventure trip to satisfy the soul and palate! Join us in October 2013 on an outdoor adventure to California's wine country.

Our 6 day, 5 night adventure features several days of biking amidst the vineyards and wineries of Sonoma County. But this adventure is more than just a bike tour of wine country. We’ll visit the Pacific coast and paddle in the protected waters of Tomales Bay; we’ll hike amidst giant redwood stands; and we’ll enjoy exclusive visits to vineyards and wineries owned and operated by University of Illinois Alumni.

Our adventure will be led by tour operator Northwest Voyageurs, who has provided extraordinary outdoor adventures for the UI EXPLORERS Travel Program since 2003.

Space is very limited on this exclusive adventure, so please make your reservations early.

We hope you choose to join us on this unforgettable adventure!

In the spirit of adventure,

Loren R. Taylor
President and CEO
