River rafting is for everyone.
Pangaea has created a shorter trip designed for the active boomers looking for a softer adventure. Our river wine tours on the Spokane River and Clark Fork River glide beneath outrageous scenery and relaxing solitude. After the scenic float, we pull over on a secluded beach and sample local Spokane wines, homemade breads and smoked salmon beside the river. We will delight your pallet and amaze your eyes. The river sections are mild and scenic, perfect for the mature traveler looking for a softer adventure.

From New York City to Los Angles California, everyone who has booked a River Wine Float with Pangaea River Rafting raves about the delicious food, the quality and complexity of the wines we serve, the beautiful scenery and the most important thing, the quality of their guides. Your guide will row you down the river while you enjoy the scenery and wildlife of the Columbia Plateau minutes from downtown Spokane.

Enjoy the west behind a wine glass!
Pangaea's River Wine Tour is the perfect trip for visitor's or residents who want to experience the great outdoors of the Inland Northwest, but in a more sophisticated and controlled environment.
