Day 1
(Arrival Day)
Welcome to the Napa Valley! Your best bet when arriving to SFO or OAK airports is to take Evans Transportation to the Napa Valley. The Evans shuttle will provide drop-off at your hotel.

You'll stop by Napa Valley Bike Tours this afternoon to check-in and ensure the bikes we have reserved for you are fitted and equipped to your needs and ready for your first bike tour tomorrow. Depending on your arrival time, you may even have time to take them out for a spin around town. Or, we can steer you to some nearby attractions.

Hotel check-in in Yountville will be sometime between 3 and 4 p.m. Your dinner reservation will be at one of Yountville's top-rated restaurants. *Note that due to variations in arrival schedules, your dinner tonight will be private (not with the group).

Day 2
You'll begin the morning with a Kick-Off Breakfast, hosted by your tour guides at a local cafe in town. You'll get to meet and chat with the other travelers on this trip and discuss the finer details of your itinerary.

After breakfast, we'll begin our journey by cycling through the Carneros wine-growing region of the Napa and Sonoma Valleys, world-famous for its white wine varietals and light reds. The Carneros region also offers picturesque views of undulating hills lined with vineyards and punctuated by idyllic farmhouses. At one of our early winery stops, the panoramic view extends as far as San Francisco. Today's available routes include 20-, 35- and 45-mile options.

Tonight's accommodations will be on the historic plaza in downtown Sonoma. And we'll enjoy dinner as a group at one of the great nearby restaurants.

Day 3
After breakfast, we will pick up where we left off, starting in beautiful Sonoma Valley. Today’s route options will take us from Sonoma all the way out to the Pacific coastal town of Bodega Bay. We’ll cycle through scenic farmland lined with eucalyptus trees and then slowly start to see the famous coastal redwoods before finally reaching Bodega Bay. All of today’s routing options (22-, 54- and 62-miles) will include some rolling hills. And cyclists looking for a challenge need only ask, as we can provide a mountaneous route map that's sure to satisfy your inner-Lance.

After settling into our Bodega Bay hotels, the group will reconvene for dinner again tonight at yet another fabulous restaurant.

Day 4
After breakfast today, everyone will cycle 10 miles up the Pacific coastline before heading inland along Russian River, which will ultimately lead us back to the wine country. Today’s routes feature relatively flat terrain with 25-, 40-, and 62-mile options to reach the town of Healdsburg. Upon arriving in Healdsburg, we'll load into the van and drive the final stretch to the resort town of Calistoga. Famed for it's natural mineral pools and mud baths, you're sure to find a reward for your effort in this town! Best of all, you can unpack your bags and relax, as you'll be staying here for the final two nights.

Day 5
Today you'll enjoy a day of wine tasting and education, with the Calistoga wine-growing region at the northern end of the Napa Valley as our classroom. You'll pedal 5-6 miles between each wine-tasting stop and a catered picnic lunch will be served overlooking the vineyards mid-day.

Of course, if you're looking for extra mileage options, your guide will be happy to set you up with a self-guided route and cut you loose to ride on your own.

This afternoon will pose a great opportunity to partake of Calistoga's unique array of spas before reconvening for dinner out on the town.

Day 6 *Departure Day
You'll check out of your hotel this morning and head out on "the final stretch" back to Yountville. There will be plenty of time for winery visits along the way - as well as plenty of opportunities to divert from the main group in favor of riding a few extra miles.

We'll arrive back at our shop by about 2 p.m. this afternoon to say our farewells and send you on your way. Again, your best choice for returning to either SFO or OAK airports will be Evans Transportation.
