Private Bike Tour — A fully hosted Napa day with picnic and tastings
This private bike tour is designed as a hosted day in Napa: a local guide, pre‑booked tastings and a picnic from Bouchon Bakery. The operator sends a brief questionnaire after booking to tailor the route, timing and tasting appointments to your group. Typical itineraries run about four hours for a single winery visit and picnic, or about six hours if you prefer two visits.
Comfort cruiser bikes are standard with an optional pedal‑assist e‑bike upgrade. The package includes logistics support—on‑call van service, water and a souvenir bottle—so the day feels effortless. This is the pick for groups who want a high‑touch, private experience anchored by food and wine rather than a fitness‑first outing.

6‑Day Bike Rental — Take the region at your own pace
The six‑day rental is a straightforward way to explore the wider region without a guide. You pick the bike type during reservation—options include comfort cruisers, electric bikes and road bikes—and the rental includes helmet, lock, map and handlebar bag so you can be on the road quickly. Electric bikes extend range and reduce effort on rolling terrain, making longer itineraries accessible.
Bikes must be returned by the vendor’s posted return time on the last day. This package is best for travelers who prefer autonomy, want to build a multi‑day route, and value having quality equipment available for each day of riding.

Private Guided Workout Ride — Performance or e‑bike included
This private, coach‑style ride is tailored to your goals and pace. The base offering includes your choice of a performance road bike (Specialized Roubaix) or a pedal‑assist e‑bike (Specialized Turbo Como). Rides are flexible in route and intensity, supported by a knowledgeable local guide and on‑call SAG support. The format makes it possible to push pacing and mileage while retaining safety and local route knowledge.
A two‑guest minimum applies to base pricing; additional riders are accepted up to the operator’s group limit. Because winery visits and picnics are not included, this option is best for riders focused on training, distance or a guided scenic workout rather than a tasting‑led day.

5‑Day Bike Rental — A balanced multi‑day option
The five‑day rental sits between the short weekend option and the longer six‑day package. Pricing tiers cover comfort cruisers, electric models and road bikes so you can match equipment to daily intent—cruising versus training. As with other rentals, accessories are included so you don’t need to bring extra gear.
This option works well for travelers who want several full days to explore without the commitment of a weeklong rental, offering convenience for itineraries that combine relaxed mornings with longer afternoon rides.

4‑Day Bike Rental — Compact, convenient, quality gear
The four‑day rental is aimed at those planning a short getaway: long weekend itineraries, short stays in the region, or combining a couple of guided days with independent riding. Rates start at lower tiers for comfort cruisers with e‑bike options for reduced effort and greater range.
Return times are enforced on the last day, so plan your final route to allow on‑time drop off. For travelers based in Santa Venetia, this rental length pairs neatly with day trips into wine country or longer coastal loop rides.

3‑Day Bike Rental — Try before you commit
A three‑day rental is ideal for quick visits, sampling local routes or testing an e‑bike before deciding on a longer rental. The package includes the basic kit and requires return by the operator’s posted time on the final day. Pricing varies by bike class to suit casual riders and those seeking a more performance‑oriented setup.
This is a practical choice if you want a compact window of exploration without the logistics of a guided day—useful for travelers mixing coastal time in Santa Venetia with inland excursions.

Allow extra travel time between Santa Venetia and Napa/Yountville when organizing same‑day logistics so rides start relaxed and on time.
