Half-Day Napa Valley E-Bike Tour

Overview

On a Half-Day Bike Tour, you'll enjoy the unique experience of biking through wine country and visiting a local winery while still finishing early enough to make other plans for your afternoon!

You’ll join a small group led by a local, knowledgeable Tour Guide who will enhance your understanding of the valley’s history and the romantic vine-to-bottle process. This tour will include one stop at a local winery (tasting fees not included)

Electric bikes make this tour fun for anyone who can ride a bike. Casual bikers will find they can confidently ride longer distances and cruise up hills with no problem. And experienced riders who are hoping for more exercise can turn the pedal-assist level down or completely off to get more of a workout.

After your bike tour concludes in Yountville, you’re welcome to keep your bikes to continue exploring on your own. Your Tour Guide will be happy to recommend favorite backroads to explore.

What To Expect

Napa Valley Bike Tours

After bike fitting & orientation (30 mins), your Tour Guide will lead you on a scenic ride alongside the vineyards. Tours are led at a casual pace. The emphasis is on enjoying the scenery and discovering a local winery along the way. The winery visit will last approximately 75 minutes with plenty of time to engage your tasting host and learn about the wine-making styles and farming practices. Wine tasting fees are not included; you will pay tasting fees directly at the wineries during your visit (fees may be waived with minimum purchase). After your tour concludes in Yountville, you’re welcome to keep your electric bikes to continue exploring on your own. Your Tour Guide will be happy to recommend favorite backroads to explore.

Monticello Vineyards

Monticello Vineyards is owned and managed by three generations of the Corley family. Patriarch Jay Corley, came to Napa Valley in 1969 seeking land to plant an estate vineyard. He chose a parcel in the southern end of Napa Valley to plant the first vines for Monticello Vineyards. Fifty years later, the Corley family manages five different vineyards across the Napa Valley. Sons Kevin, Chris and Stephen manage the winery. A third generation of Corleys is now graduating college and beginning to take active roles in the family business. Specific winery visits are subject to change due to availability. Wine tasting fees are not included in the price of the bike tour (some wineries may be waived with minimum purchase).

I don’t like to give bad reviews but this tour was extremely expensive for what you got. Our guide did her best with what she had to work with. The area to bike is mostly flat and not a lot of variety in terrain, history or experiences. It’s a nice way to see a vineyard however a tasting/tour is an extra fee - should be included - or bike tour should start at a lower price point. We were not really given an option to the tasting (it would have been very awkward to not partake) it just became part of the vineyard tour. I am purposely not mentioning names of guide and vineyard bc I think it’s the tour companies job to develop a solid experience worth the fees. Bikes were in great shape. One persons bike had an issue that was promptly replaced by van support. Thanks for the great after tour suggestion of hot dog and affogato with soft serve at Honor Market 😋

We are SO disappointed to hear your felt the tour was not a great value. We've reached out to you directly to learn more. Noting that wine tasting fees are not included in the price of our tours because 1) tasting is optional 2) we visit different wineries day to day and fees vary and 3) wineries often waive fees with minimum purchase.

Even though it was a half day tour we were able to keep the bikes, if we wanted, for the remainder of the day. My husband and I had a great time, just the two of us going our own way and stopping whenever we wanted! Our guide was awesome and we thoroughly enjoyed the entire tour! Just know that some areas of the “bike lane” is really just the shoulder of a highway-some parts of the bike lane are indeed that— a built bike path not shared with vehicles. Scenery and weather is amazing! I highly and fully recommend this company and excursion when visiting!

My husband and I had a great time! First time using e-bikes and they were simple to learn and made the ride even more fun. Beautiful ride along vineyard lined roads, smells of ripe grapes and wood, gorgeous weather and our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and showed us a good time. We all stopped at Ghost Block mid-way and enjoyed an informative and delicious tasting. Definitely recommend.
