Private Bike Tour: customizable itinerary with picnic from Bouchon Bakery

This Private Bike Tour is designed for groups that want a hands-off, highly tailored day on two wheels. Hosted from a Yountville meeting point, the itinerary centers on scenic vineyard lanes, coordinated winery appointments and a picnic lunch supplied by Bouchon Bakery. The operator sends a short questionnaire after booking to align the route and pace with your group's preferences, a signal that this is meant to feel bespoke rather than templated.

Logistics and inclusions reflect a luxury-minded approach: comfort cruiser bikes come standard, with an optional pedal-assist E‑Bike upgrade available for a per-person fee. The tour includes helmet and support, on-call van assistance for purchases, and water throughout the ride. Choose the shorter (~4-hour) format for a single winery visit and picnic or extend to ~6 hours for two stops and a more immersive day.
