A Helpful Guide to Bicycling Tours Through California Wine Country in Napa Valley

JM Van Horn
When it comes to find the perfect destination for picturesque views, accompanied by the finest wineries in the United States, there is no better place to visit than Napa Valley in California. If you are looking for a unique way to enjoy the beauties of the area, why not try a bicycle tour of wine country in Napa Valley?

You can enjoy the quiet country roads and awe inspiring vineyards over the course of several days as you casually bike through Napa Valley and take your time to visit the countless wineries present.

Some of your stops will be at award winning wineries like the Sterling Vineyards or Ferrari-Carano Winery, where you will be hard pressed to cycle past without a small taste of their efforts.

The best time to bike through Napa Valley is during the spring and fall months. Not only will you be able to avoid the summer crowds, you will be able to avoid the summer heat in the process.

There are several companies who offer packages for bicycling tours of Napa Valley. One of them is Napa Valley Bike Tours, which is located in Yountville, California. If you are looking for a one day excursion or a week long tour, Napa Valley Bike Tours is sure to have the right wine touring package for you.

If you want to explore the wine vineyards on your own, you can opt for one of their self guided tours that start at $79 per person. Not only do you have the ability to choose how far you bike or the number of wineries you would like to visit, Napa Valley Bike tours will deliver a picnic lunch to you on your tour.

You can find more information about the tours they have to offer by visiting their website at http://www.napavalleybiketours.com/.

Another company offering tours of California wine country since 1984 is Bicycling Adventures. They have various types of tours, ranging from the four day tour to a 6 day all encompassing tour for the cycling and wine enthusiasts.

If your budget is tight, Bicycling Adventures has a budget trip where you travel to the same wineries as the other tours with the only difference being in where you lodge for the night. You can find more what they have to offer at their website, www.BicycleAdventures.com.

No matter which company you chose to go with, there is nothing that can compare to a leisurely bicycle tour through California's wine country.
