A Cycling Tour of the Gorgeous Pacific Coast
With more than 900 wineries and dozens of craft breweries between them, Napa Valley and Sonoma County have secured reputations as giants on the worldwide stage of imbibing. Celebrated restaurants saturate the region (the Napa Valley town of Yountville alone is home to more Michelin stars in a single mile radius than any other place in the world), making for a culinary experience that is world class, and the riding is just as amazing. This is just the beginning of why we love our Northern California wine country bike tours.
With California’s fantastic weather, quiet country lanes, and roads that are perfect for riding, you will come to understand why the Tour of California pro bike race comes to this cyclist’s paradise nearly every year. Our tours will find you riding alongside fertile vineyards, into thousand-year-old redwood forests, and along the ruggedly beautiful Pacific coast before returning to the vibrant city of San Francisco.

Why is a Private tour better?
Our tours are centered around accommodating our guests and the experience they are craving. Not the other way around.
Have you ever been stuck with a group of people you don’t know and may not particularly like? Or have been required to go along with tour plans or excursions that you were not excited about? Have you ever been in a tour group where you feel like you’re being herded along and hurried regardless of what you’d like to do? We’ve been there and don’t like it either. A private tour allows you to travel when you want and with whom you want. Bring your friends, family, partner, or simply yourself. Let us curate an experience for YOU!
We're on your schedule? How?
From when you register for the tour through the duration of your tour, we cater to your timing.
- YOU get to name the dates of your tour. You don’t have to choose from a calendar of tours that require you to adjust the timing your vacation plans. Want to start on a Wednesday? Sure! Want to be on tour for 5 days rather than the 6 days on our sample itinerary? That is OK with us.
- When on your tour you are not being pushed to get on the bike at a certain time with a group. You rise, have breakfast, and roll out when you’re ready.
- Want to spend more time exploring an area on a daily riding route? Sure! Just make sure you get to the hotel in time for dinner.
Are bike rentals available? If so, what kind?
High-quality rental bikes available – road, hybrid and eBike. We will deliver the bikes to you and fit them to you at the beginning of the tour. Your guide/concierge is always available for help if you have a mechanical issue.
How customizable are your tours?
We are very flexible in the destinations we offer tours. Customization options include the number of days/nights on tour, accommodation level (but we DO NOT go under 3-star), new towns/villages within established destinations, and much more. We are open to trying new things in new destinations! Please ask if you’re not seeing what you want!
We have a minimum of 3 or 4 nights on tour, depending on destination.
How short can a tour be? Do you provide one-day guiding?
We have a minimum of 3 or 4 nights on tour, depending on destination. We do not provide one-day guiding.
