On Pace With Your Vacation

Little known fact: world-class wines aren't the only trademark of the Napa Valley. The area also boasts a treasure trove of pristine mountain biking trails and has even played host to several World Cup mountain biking events. The trails here are ripe for your Wine Country mountain biking adventure, so come join us for a fun day of easy to moderate mountain biking!

A gourmet picnic-style lunch is also included, served post-ride at a nearby winery 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.

On Pace With Your Vacation
Our Mountain Bike Adventure Tour is designed for beginners with an adventurous spirit. Riders should have a basic level of cardiovascular fitness as well as some previous exposure to mountain biking.

You'll strike out at your own pace and the group will reconvene at various junctures. Along the way, you'll have opportunities to improve your cornering, obstacle negotiation and downhill riding skills. Rest assured, the majority of the riding terrain is beginner-friendly fire roads and singletrack; nothing on this tour will be too far over your head. And there's no shame in walking your bike through a section that you deem beyond your personal adventure zone. The emphasis will be on having some good (and possibly dirty) fun out on the trails!

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!
