What the half‑day feels like
Mornings begin in Yountville with bike setup and a briefing, then the group departs at a relaxed pace on mostly flat to gently rolling terrain. Expect short rides of three to six miles between stops, a guided tasting at one winery, and the option to keep riding on your own once the tour ends around early afternoon.

Frequently asked questions
Planning Your Outing
What are the roads like?
Routes combine quieter country roads with some busier roadways, including stretches along Hwy. 29 and Silverado Trail where a Class II bike lane exists; the tour also frequently uses the Napa Valley Vine Trail (a car‑free bike path).
What should I wear?
Wineries don't enforce dress codes; the operator recommends a 'smart active' look—comfortable activewear that blends with other guests is appropriate.
Why aren't tasting fees included?
Tasting fees vary because the wineries visited change daily and individual fees may be waived with a minimum purchase or wine club enrollment, so tasting charges are handled directly with each winery.
How far will we ride and how long does the tour last?
Expect to cover about 10–12 miles total, with average segments of 3–6 miles between stops; the guided portion runs from 9:30am to 1:30pm.
Can I keep riding after the tour or keep the e‑bike?
When the guided portion ends around 1:30pm, you can choose to keep your e‑bike and continue riding on your own or head off to your next activity.
