The Willamette Valley in Oregon has some great scenery, good wine-tasting and relatively flat terrain. I'd think it would make a nice candidate for a bike tour. It's also fairly moderate in temperature, even in the summer -- rarely gets above 85 degrees.
The Paso Robles - Salinas area in California can be very hot in the summer (temperatures above 100 degrees in Paso Robles are not uncommon, with the temperature cooling down as you move towards Salinas), and we've only been in that region once when it wasn't notably windy (my guess is 25-30 mph winds, constantly). We drive that corridor ten or twelve times a year and have for eight years.
California's central valley is HOT in the summer. Spring is probably a much better time to tour around there.
