Not far from Spearfish is the small town of Sturgis, which is known for its huge yearly motorcycle rally. The Sturgis Motorcycle Rally had been around for over 75 years and around 740,000 people attend the event in a town that is home to only about 6,000 residents. When the rally isn’t going on, the little town is still a wonderful place to visit. You can enjoy some wine while wine tasting at local Belle Joli’ Winery. The winery offers amazing views of the town’s ponderosa pines and their 5-acre vineyard.
