Clark Fork: Missoula Wine Tasting Scenic Float

Enjoy the West Behind a Wine Glass!

Your guide will keep you dry and comfortable as he or she rows you down the river. Sit back, relax, and taste the Montana sunshine as you sip and taste wines that have made the region famous! Discover the osprey and eagles, old mining towns and log flumes, and breathtaking scenery with the rich, complex flavors of our best local wines. What an exquisite way to experience the Clark Fork River – with Pangaea’s amazing 3-hour Missoula wine tasting rafting adventure!

Wine Taste Missoula Like Never Before!

It’s a proven fact that food and wine taste better in nature. If you’re looking for a fantastic combination of River rafting and authentic wine tasting, Montana is the perfect place to get started. Nothing is as pure or fun! Your trip starts and ends at our river house, footsteps from the river. Tongue-singing appetizers are paired with wines that complement the scenery in this “one-of-a-kind” wine tasting adventure near Missoula, Montana.

Montana Wine Tasting

Montana grows dirt, rocks, wildlife, and… good wine. Miles of sunlight and the right amount of water make select growing regions in Missoula, Montana, premier wine country. Eons ago, glaciers carved away mountains, sculpted peaks, and left stunning valleys. When the glaciers receded, they left a wide and spacious Montana, the perfect source for naturally clear, vibrant flavors that grace both the wines and Montana’s landscape of adventure… which we now bring to you in a Wine Tasting Montana rafting package!

Imagine How Wine Tastes…

Float quietly along in diamond refracting riffles as the soothing music of water and nature eases your cares and drifts your worries away. A Pangaea River Rafting guide rows you gently down the river while wine tasting in Missoula, pointing out natural and man-made wonders that create the rich and diverse tapestry of Montana. Your boat will drift underneath steep river canyons and over the deepest waters of the Clark Fork River as you sip and taste wines. You’ll forget where you are… floating just minutes away from Missoula!

Itinerary

Your experience begins at Pangaea’s River Store in Superior, Montana—just off I-90 and an easy drive from Missoula, Coeur d’Alene, or Spokane. Upon arrival, you’ll check in, meet your guide, and get outfitted with a personal flotation device and optional splash jacket for cooler weather. After a short shuttle ride to the river put-in, you’ll be ready to launch into your scenic wine-tasting float.

Once on the water, your guide will do all the rowing so you can sit back, relax, and sip on a curated selection of local red and white wines or craft beers. As you float through the beautiful Tarkio Canyon section of the Clark Fork River, you’ll enjoy breathtaking views of steep canyon walls, the sound of rushing water, and a peaceful atmosphere that enhances every sip. Two scenic stops, one of which includes the popular Jump Rock, allow for light exploration, photos, and optional swimming. Throughout the float, you’ll be served a spread of mouthwatering appetizers, fruit, cheese, and dessert, all chosen to pair perfectly with your drinks.
