Wine country is calling — and it’s not whispering.

Mark your calendars for Sunday, July 13, because Fueled by Fine Wine is back, and it’s bigger, bolder, and more delicious than ever. This isn’t your average race. It’s an elevated (literally) run through the hills of Dundee, with a wine glass in one hand and breathtaking vineyard views in every direction.

Whether you’re signing up for the 5k, quarter marathon, or half marathon, you’ll traverse a course that winds through private vineyard estates — including ours right here at Knudsen Vineyards. Yes, you get to run through the vines, and yes, we’ll be waiting with a well-earned pour.

So, what makes Fueled by Fine Wine so unforgettable?

  • The Course: This is no sidewalk shuffle. It’s a rollercoaster of hills, dirt paths, vineyard rows, and sweeping Dundee vistas. It’s tough. It’s stunning. It’s absolutely worth it.

  • The Wine: With 24 incredible wineries pouring post-race (including us!), your finisher’s medal pairs perfectly with a tasting flight.

  • The Experience: Enjoy a post-race party in Billick Park, live music, local eats, and that unbeatable community vibe Dundee is known for.

Why We Love It at Knudsen

We’ve proudly been a part of Fueled by Fine Wine for years, and nothing beats the energy as runners crest the hill and make their way through our vines. You’ll feel the burn in your legs, and then — just when you need it — you’ll hit that sweet, scenic stretch at Knudsen where we’ll be waiting with a splash of something delicious.

Let’s be honest: the course is hilly. Like, really hilly. But that’s what makes the wine taste even better. Trust us — one sip and you’ll forget about that last incline.

Don’t Miss Out

Only 1,100 spots are available for the 2025 race — and they go fast. Whether you’re a serious runner or a casual stroller who’s in it for the wine (no judgment), this is one of Oregon’s most unique and beloved events. A race bib, a commemorative wine glass, stunning medals, a vineyard-tucked course, and pours from world-class producers? It’s the most fun you’ll ever have in running shoes.

We’ll see you July 13. Shoes laced. Glass ready for another unforgettable year!
