Sip N Cycle

Your journey will begin at the banks of the Napa River, where you’ll meet your experienced guide. From there, you’ll be fitted with helmets and eased onto your durable, hybrid bicycle, before being given a quick run-down of some simple safety precautions. Soon, you’ll take off on a leisurely ride through a route of sun-soaked trails and level lanes. Indeed, Carneros has come to be known as a wine-lover’s paradise, and you’ll have ample opportunity to stop into a few local wineries to find out why. All the while, your guide will regale you with information about the region’s climate and its unique wine-making tradition.

Around 12 PM, your guide will provide a break, during which time you’ll be brought to a lovely, rustic locale for a lunch-time picnic. Chow down on scrumptious artisan fare, including green salads, wild smoked salmon, freshly baked breads, and a selection of cheeses.

Moving along, you’ll be able to visit an assortment of exceptional cellars, including such local luminaries as Etude, Starmont, MckEnzie-Meuller, and Ceja. You might also have a chance to raise your glass in the gorgeous garden at Bouchaine, visit the opulent chateau of Domaine Carneros, or get a first-hand lesson in solar-powered wine creation at Cuvaison. There, you’ll sip in style from a collection of various vinos— among them bottles of Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, Viognier, and many others.

So, if you’re an oenophile with an eye for the outdoors, this Cycle N’ Sip experience in scenic Carneros is tailor-made for you!
