With tasting fees at many Napa Valley wineries trending upwards of $60 to $100 per person, it’s understandable that a lot of visitors might feel intimidated to visit.
We’re here to tell you, there are still plenty of accessible options for those looking to experience Napa’s world-class wines without breaking the bank!
We’ve rounded up a list of 30 Napa wine tasting experiences for $50 and under, proving that luxury can still be attained at an accessible price point.
We narrowed our focus here to wineries within biking distance of our Yountville rental shop, but at the end of this post, we promise to share an additional resource where you can discover even more Napa Valley tastings priced $50 and under.
Note: Tasting fees and experience offerings are subject to change. Always check directly with any winery you plan to visit for the most up-to-date information. Reservations are either required or highly recommended at most wineries.
Know Before You Go by Bike:
- Familiarize yourself with local roads and bicycling infrastructure to ensure your route is appropriate for your comfort and experience level. Check out our guide: What are the Roads Like?
- E-Bikes are recommended for recreational bikers for any ride that will be longer than 10-12 miles. Remember to consider the full roundtrip distance of your ride!
- Moderate consumption when tasting. Operating a bike carries the same responsibilities (and penalties) as driving a car under the influence.
- Always ride single file and with the flow of traffic.
