THE CLASSIC NAPA VALLEY BIKE TOUR
Napa Valley Bike Tours
(707) 251-TOUR
Single day
Meet at 6500 Washington Street in Yountville
Perched atop your late-model Specialized
Sirrus or Vita hybrid bike, you’ll cruise along
behind a friendly and knowledgeable guide on
this signature valley wine tour. Cycling tours
pass through some of the region’s most notable
wineries including Andretti Winery and
the first winery on the Silverado Trail, Luna
Vineyards. Though final itineraries are set five
to six days in advance, you can contact the
office before your visit to make sure that none
of the wineries you have already visited will
be duplicated during your ride. Enjoy a fresh
catered picnic lunch at a winery, overlooking
the vineyards.
BIKING IN THE VINEYARDS
Napa Valley Bike Tours
(707) 251-TOUR
Single day
Meet at 1233 Stanly Lane, just south of the
stoplight intersection at Hwy 12/121
This tour takes you right into the middle of
the action, as you head off-road on your bike
straight through the vineyards themselves.
Travel between each vineyard is only about
three to six kilometres (two to four miles),
so you’ll get a workout without working up a
major sweat. Because this off-road tour can be
a bit rugged, the fitness level required on this
tour is a little higher than those that require
street riding, so speak with your tour guide
before pushing off if you feel like you’ll be
unable to keep up. The itinerary changes but
others who have taken this ride have toured
Markham Vineyards and Benessere Vineyards.
