Wine Country Bike Tours
Explore Napa Valley with this guided bike tour. Visit three - four extraordinary wineries along Calistoga's country lanes.
Description
We check you in at 9:30 AM. This gives you ample time to finish your delicious B&B breakfast or make the drive up from virtually anywhere in the Northern California region. We then fit you to a Cannondale Comfort bike along with a helmet, bag, and comfortable gel-seat. Your leader goes over the “Rules of the Road” as well as how to operate the bike. We're off on a guided tour at about 10:00 AM with your leader explaining the sights and some of the wine jargon / history. We travel the quiet country lanes to our first winery stop. After a tour of the grounds we taste the wine and then move along to our second winery where we often have a private barrel tasting. The support van is nearby for wine purchases or another bottle of water.
Details
We cycle along easy and flat roads to our third winery and our picnic spot.
Dining with Getaway is quite an event. First we pick a table under big shade oaks with a view of the valley. Next comes out the linen tablecloth, china and silverware. Fruit and bread baskets round out the setting; then the food!
Typical is Pesto pasta salad, local organic salad greens, fresh baked bread, exotic cheeses, seasonal fruit, and dessert.

Tour Notes
After our lunch we return to our bikes rested and recharged. We continue down the Silverado Trail. The Palisades Mountains on one side and the vines on the other frame our ride as we head for our next winery.
We call this winery the “Shrine to Wine” for its superb collection of art and antiquities, as well as intriguing architecture and excellent wines. After a tasting, we return to Calistoga, arriving around 4pm. Here we bid you farewell and thank you for riding with us!
Current Wineries: We will visit some of these fine wineries: Chateau Montelena, Windsor Royale, Paoletti Estates Winery, Dutch Henry Winery Frank Family Vineyards and/or Clos Pegase. All Winery selections are subject to change.
