Local operator · Yountville
You meet in Yountville, pick up an electric bike with four assist levels and ride 12 to 17 mostly flat miles to one or two wineries, with a van behind you to carry the bottles. Book it if you'd rather feel the valley than watch it through a window.
The tour starts in Yountville, the small town in the middle of the valley best known for its restaurants. The meeting point is set back from Washington Street between Ranch Market and Bistro Jeanty, under a blue-and-white striped awning. You get an e-bike with four assist levels and a helmet, and a guide leads groups of 10 at most on 12 to 17 miles of mostly flat roads, with 3 to 6 miles between stops.
There are two versions. The half day visits one winery with no lunch. The full day visits two and stops for a picnic from Bouchon Bakery, Thomas Keller's bakery on Washington Street: a sandwich or salad, chips and dessert. Wineries change daily. The guide pre-books your tasting appointments, which matters in a valley where most estates want a reservation, and a support van follows to pick up any wine you buy.
Two caveats. Tasting fees aren't included; they may be waived if you buy or join a club, and Napa's average is $79 a head in 2026. And this is a newer listing, so it has less of a track record than the coach tours. You ride in bike lanes beside traffic, so you need to be confident on a bike. Not for under-21s, pregnant riders or anyone with heart problems.

No. The guide books the appointments, but the fees are paid at each winery. They may be waived if you buy wine or join a club. Budget about $79 a head per winery, Napa's 2026 average.
12 to 17 miles in total, mostly flat, with 3 to 6 miles between stops. The e-bikes have four assist levels, so you don't need to be fit, just steady on a bike.
The half day visits one winery and has no lunch. The full day visits two and includes a picnic from Bouchon Bakery.
Yes, and on a bike tour you should. Visit Napa Valley suggests sneakers or flats for winery paths. Our etiquette guide covers what to wear.
