For nearly four decades Napa Valley Bike Tours has helped guests trade car windows for vineyard breezes. Locally owned, their friendly team pairs top-quality bikes—including hill-taming e-bikes—with insider routes to boutique wine...
With an impressive collection of glowing reviews, this outfit consistently delivers memorable wine country experiences. The tour guides really stand out here—Santino, Don, Michael, and Al all get enthusiastic shout-outs for being knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely passionate about Napa's culture and history. The electric bikes get high marks too, making the rides accessible without requiring serious cycling fitness. The downtown location is super convenient, right next to the vinetrail, and the staff earns praise for being warm, flexible, and responsive when issues pop up. A few practical things to know before booking: wine tastings aren't included in the tour price, so budget around $400 per couple for those stops. The e-bikes are pedal-assist rather than throttle-controlled, meaning you'll be pedaling the whole time (though the electric boost helps). Most riding happens along bike paths near busy roads, which feels safe but might not suit those nervous about traffic. The company handles wine shipping arrangements, and many wineries offer flat-rate shipping around $20, so you won't have to lug bottles around.
We had such a great experience on our Napa Valley bike tour! Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable—not only about the area and vineyards, but also about the history and culture of Napa, which really added depth to the ride. The electric bikes made the tour accessible and enjoyable for everyone—you don’t have to be in peak shape to keep up, since the assist gives you momentum when you need it. It was such a nice, leisurely way to see the vineyards and take in the scenery at a relaxed pace. Another great perk was that we didn’t have to worry about carrying wine purchases on the ride. The tour company can arrange to pick up any bottles, and most of the wineries offered a flat rate of $20 to ship. It made the whole experience feel even more relaxed and stress-free—a great way to enjoy Napa without lugging bottles around.
