If you ask us, there’s no better way to tour the Napa Valley than from the seat of a bicycle. As you pedal past rows of undulating vineyards, you’ll enjoy an invigorating sensory experience that simply cannot be achieved from the inside of a car.

A gourmet picnic-style lunch is also included, served alfresco overlooking the vineyards. We invite you to take a look at the Sample Itinerary to get a full idea of what you can expect on this tour.

Our bike tours cater to tourists – not cyclists. Most people who ride with us describe themselves as “leisurely” or “occasional” cyclists. Some even admit they haven’t been on a bike in a few years!

With a casual pace and frequent stops, the emphasis is on enjoying the scenery and discovering the boutique and family-owned wineries along the way. On our tours, you’ll cycle an average of 4-5 miles between each winery visit.

The Napa Valley’s diverse microclimates have yielded equally distinct wine-growing regions; from the Carneros Region at the cool, southern end of the valley, known for its Pinot Noir & Chardonnay, to the warmer climes found farther north including the Stag’s Leap District, famed for producing bold, award-winning Cabernets.

We offer a variety of tours that acquaint visitors with many of these distinct regions. Our point, of course, is that we hope to entice you to join us for several bike tours during your Napa Valley vacation.

For each day of bike touring, we’ll ensure you’re on a different route with fresh backdrops for your vacation photos and new wineries to discover!
