Bike Over the Golden Gate!

Escape to San Francisco with Napa Valley Bike Tours for an fun-filled outing that combines two quintessential Northern California biking experiences: over the Golden Gate Bridge and off-road on the trails of Mt. Tamalpais, where many say the sport of mountain biking originated (just call it Mt. Tam, as the locals do!).

The cycling on this tour is perfect for beginners, making this a family-friendly adventure. At a minimum, children should be able to handle themselves on a "trail-a-bike," which attaches to the seatpost of an adult bike to create a "tandem" bike.

We invite you to take a look at the Sample Itinerary to get a full idea of what you can expect on this tour.

One Day is Never Enough
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!
